According to BGR India, the next-generation of X series will get a dedicated home button, a feature that has been sorely missed till now. Nokia X family currently come with a back button only and pressing it a bit longer takes you to the home screen but the users find it a feature that they don't really like.
Reading out the notifications in the Nokia X series is a pretty difficult job too as it does not come with a regular swipe down notification bar so you need to go to back to home screen first and then go to the Fastlane by swiping from the side of the display.
Having an home button would surely solve a lot of issues and we might witness a notification area too on the smartphone. The Nokia X series runs on Android Open Source Project (AOSP) based on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and utilises Nokia's own app store and services instead of the ones from Google.
The next generation won't be launched for, let us say 6 months now but whenever they get launched, they'll come with a dedicated home screen button and a slew of UI improvements too.
