[Android app] Skype updated for Nokia X with improved battery life and call quality

Microsoft has released an updated version of Skype for Nokia X Android devices. The latest version of Skype app for Nokia X devices brings significant battery and call quality improvements, full support for cloud-based 1:1 and group chats (meaning you can message your friends even if they are not online) and better video messaging.

Skype is preinstalled on Nokia X devices and the updated version can be downloaded through the Nokia Store.

The latest version of Skype for Android on Nokia X has the following new features and improvements

• Reach anyone, anywhere: Skype for Android complements the family of platforms on which you can enjoy Skype. Android users can connect with people they care about most on any device with Skype installed – PCs, Surface, Windows Phone, iPhones, iPads, Kindle Fires, Xbox Ones, Androids, Macs and even TVs.
• Always be reachable: You can feel confident to leave Skype running in the background as we’ve designed the app to have only a very small impact on battery life. Call waiting is also available for Skype calls, and switching from a Skype call to a phone call is simple.
• Make calls the way you want them: During your Skype call you can now easily navigate from landscape to portrait view and toggle between front and back cameras.
