Opera Mobile Store will replace Nokia Store as the default app store for Nokia feature phones, Symbian and Nokia X smartphones, following an agreement between Opera Software and Microsoft.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, people who access Nokia Store from Series 40, Series 60, Symbian, Asha and Nokia X devices will be automatically redirected to Opera Mobile Store, where they will be offered the opportunity to become customers of Opera Mobile Store and have access to tens of thousands of apps for their Nokia phones.
Especially after the transition is complete, Opera will become the third largest application store in terms of downloads. Earlier in August 2014, Opera has also become the default browser on Nokia branded phones, including Series 30, Series 40, Nokia Asha and X combined.
