While Nokia’s first attempt in launching an Android device was quite disappointing, it seems that Nokia is going to give it another shot as we just witnessed the announcement (live web launch) of the Nokia X2 smartphone. The device now has a 4.3-inch display with Nokia’s Clear Black technology which means better contrast and vivid colours just like most of the Lumia smartphones. The display will also have Nokia Glance screen, scratch resistant glass and double-tap to wake features.
The X2 will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 dual-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz with 1GB of RAM and will be running on the same UI that was seen on the Nokia X with some new features including new home and back buttons, proper multitasking support, a new app list, and also a tile colour picking feature. The X2 will come preloaded with Microsoft-made apps like Skype, Outlook.com, OneNote, OneDrive with 15GB storage and also apps like Bing Search, Yammer, Xbox games, HERE Maps and MixRadio. Apart from these you also have access to Android apps which you can side-load or download from third-party app stores.
In the camera department you get a 5MP auto-focus snapper with an LED flash capable of shooting 720p videos and also a front facing VGA camera. There is an 1800mAH battery, 4GB internal memory with expansion slot, Bluetooth 4.0 and will be featuring dual-SIM card slots as well.
For now Nokia has priced the smartphone at €99 which means it will be definitely cost below Rs.10,000 in India. The Nokia X2 is expected to launch officially in Indian very soon.
The Nokia X2 is very similar to the latest Nokia Lumia 630 running on Windows Phone 8.1 OS. Here's a comparison from Nokia's website.
