In a bit surprising yet understandable decision HMD has cancelled the Nokia X5 (Nokia 5.1 Plus) launch in China. The new X-series Nokia smartphone that will go by Nokia 5.1 Plus moniker globally was supposed to be announced at an event today.

Due to bad weather conditions that might have caused difficultly for the HMD team in making the launch a big event, it was decided to call off the event. Nokia Phone Weibo account posted the below message on its timeline.

The timing of re-scheduled event has not been shared so far but we will keep you updated whenever that happens. Nokia X5 will be launched globally as Nokia 5.1 Plus later just like Nokia X6, that will be launched globally as Nokia 6.1 Plus.

But China will be again be the very first market for Nokia X5, as was the case with Nokia X6 as well. Nokia 5.1 Plus has been recently seen as TA-1109 in China’s CCC, Bluetooth and Tenna certifications.
