Nokia X: First impressions

New Delhi: Nokia, a soon-to-be Microsoft Company, recently launched a new series of low-cost Android smartphones for the emerging markets. The devices, having only minor differences, are known as the X, X+ and XL. While




While the X will be available immediately in emerging markets, the X+ and XL will come later in the second quarter and will come in white, black, cyan, green, red and yellow. The Nokia X won't be released in North America, Japan and Korea.

On the outside, the X looks like a 4-inch version of the Asha 503, as it is wrapped in the same matte polycarbonate chassis but without the transparent crystallic case surrounding it. The device is 10.4mm thick, which means it is not too short to hold in your hands and makes a comfortable fit. Overall, the phone has got all the look and feel of a regular Asha phone.  

The X sports a 4-inch IPS LCD WVGA (800 x 480) display, delivering good colors along with reasonable brightness and contrast. Not surprisingly, you can't expect much from a sub-100 euro device.
