Despite having the X factor, they always strive to strike a good balance among their different priorities, such as their academics and co-curricular engagements, career paths, and of course, family and social lives. To document how these individuals keep up with their fast paced lives, friends from Nokia Philippines made them try out the new Nokia X, a beautifully crafted smartphone with Nokia’s signature design approach and bold, bright colors.
With the Nokia X in hand, Charlie Sutcliffe, Gianna Llanes, Henry Edwards, Carmela Fortuna, Maqui Castello, Ira Giorgetti, Emil Khodaverdi, Kelsey Merritt, Cat Triviño, and Daniel Velasco showed their families, friends, and supporters how they continue to enjoy living in the fastlane, despite everything being on hyper drive.
For 10 days, as these 10 models prepared for the end of the school year events and personal activities, the Nokia X allowed them to take and upload selfies and other photos of those moments in a flash.
Their #FastlanePerfeXion posts came with personal insights and learnings on how to cope with living in the fast lane.

Kelsey, who studies at the Ateneo de Manila and sometimes jumps from a class to a photo shoot, then back to another class later in the day, advised fresh graduates to “stay fit no matter how stressful college can be.” She adds, “It’s very important to balance school and work. Time management is key!”

Posting hundreds of selfies, they also helped retain the Philippines’ “selfie capital of the world” title. Charlie, also a host of TV show, “Juan Direction” with other half-Filipinos, loved the Nokia X’s bright colors and was happily surprised with the equally beautiful photos taken with its 3MP camera during his location shoot in Benguet.
The Nokia X is the perfect introduction to the world of Android apps, coupled with signature Nokia experiences, such as HERE Maps, with true offline maps and integrated turn-by-turn navigation, and the most popular Microsoft services, including Outlook and free cloud storage using OneDrive. All devices are also pre-loaded with a variety of very popular third-party apps and games.

Maqui Castelo, student, and awarded by a youth magazine as “Candy Cutie”, said, “I liked how it had boardgames from my childhood as apps, such as Monopoly and the Game of Life. Definitely something to look forward to.”
With its two home screens: home, which features a fresh, tile-based design, and Fastlane, the Nokia X also always gave the students and models the green light to quickly access their favorite apps.

Gianna, student, and winner of the recent MYX VJ 2014 hunt said, “What I like about Fastlane is that it presented me with app updates, missed calls, and new messages. The feature is like my own personal assistant!” Ira, also a fashion blogger, stylist, and photographer, agreed and added, “Fastlane is a great answer for those who need to streamline their notifications and are tired of checking multiple applications to see the latest updates. Such an amazing time saver!”
Graduating to the fastlane doesn’t have to be as stressful as you think. With a little help from friends, and gadgets which can help you manage and organize your activities, the experience can actually be fun and colorful.
The Nokia X is now available in bright green, bright red, black, and white for an affordable SRP of Php 5,990.
