The Nokia X – announced today at Mobile World Congress – may just be the first Android smartphone that I would actually consider buying.
Not as my primary handset, you understand. The iPhone 5S is perfectly good for that job. But, perhaps for serving as a unit to review mobile Android apps, starting at just 89 Euros – it will likely be an affordable option for the casual user.
Arriving in a range of bright colours – that really do “pop,” the Nokia X features a 4-inch IPS capacitive display, 3-megapixel camera, and is being targeted at ‘multimedia enthusiasts,’ according to the company. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s dual-core “Snapdragon” processor and carries full support for ‘Dual SIM,’ allowing for the switching of SIM cards (and thus, SIM-only deals across different carriers).
“Rock your unique style with the Nokia X – a gorgeous smartphone, inside and out. It’s dressed up with a slim, yet durable body that seamlessly wraps around the sharp, four-inch screen. And with satellite GPS, Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity, you can keep the fun going wherever you go.”
Nokia’s just-announced “X” product line also includes two other configurations of the smartphone. Those being, the Nokia X+ and Nokia XL.
While there is little difference to be seen between the physical look of both the Nokia X and Nokia X+, (the main differences between the two devices instead rooted in their software features), those looking for more screen real-estate may want to opt for the Nokia XL – which carries a much larger 5-inch display, and adds a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for the purpose of Skype video calling.
The only problem is: Looks like I might have to fly to France to get one.
That’s because, (right now), the quirky new handset is only available to europeans living in either France, Italy, Kazakhstan, Poland, Russia and Ukraine, alongside select regions across Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
Both the Nokia X+ (€99) and Nokia XL (€109) will become available – Q2, 2014.
