Nokia was one way or other lagged out of the smartphone race. While struggling with Nokia Lumia Series, the company has strived to grab market share in last couple of years. Whereas Samsung and other smartphone providers have been doing really well in this arena. Besides the brand goodwill, people have been nostalgic for battery related issues found in smartphone usage which Nokia has tried to fulfill with the new Android version planned to launch later this month. As promised, Nokia is launching the Android-powered Nokia XL smartphone in the Indian market. The phone sports a 5-inch display and is powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor with 768MB of RAM. The phone offers the same software experience as offered by the Nokia X but is essentially targeted at users who want a bigger display.
Nokia XL looks more likely the enlarged version of Nokia X. The phone has same rectangular design and a polycarbonate colourful casing, which feels a bit heavy weighing around 190gram. This has been said that the phone will have a solid yet durable appearance but we did not observe any squeaks other than the phone features a removable back cover along with other highlights. There’s a pull-down tray similar to Android and Asha phones that only houses toggles for phone settings. The User Interface may take a bit more time than other used-to Samsung UIs, however, it helps Nokia in differentiating the user experience from other Android phones.
