When the company launched the Nokia X2, based on Nokia X Software Platform 2.0, it announced that older Nokia X devices would not get the 2.0 update due to hardware constraints, but it rolled out Nokia X software platform 1.2 update for the Nokia X, X+ and XL back in July that brought some features.
