NOKIA X 2 : REVIEW
Nokia unveiled the second generation Android smartphone, dubbed Nokia X2, earlier this week.With the predecessor not living to the expectations of people.The Nokia X2 is a major upgrade over its predecessor, in terms of everything . This time Nokia has really listened to the complaints and suggestions by the users . Though they are just entering the market of great potentials there's still a lot to do for Nokia.But major concern is still that will this be the just temporary decisions or will Microsoft discontinue this whole thing,saying that just like X the X2 also hangs by the cliff.
Let's just dive into the new features:
Display and Design :
The Nokia X2 compared to the X flaunts a bigger 4.3-inch WVGA (480x800p) ClearBlack LCD screen, having pixel density of 217 ppi.Also the touch experience is comparatively
more smoother than the previous.One other discernible change we see in the new phone is the inclusion of a Home button. It's predecessor just had the Back button which also functioned as Home button. But many users were unaware that holding the Back (>) button for some time would bring them back to Home screen.Now the Home Button is right in front of you.
The new generation one comes with glossy translucent cover which gives it quite a funky college tacky feel than the predecessor and is quite nice,some what like the iPhone 5c .Nokia X2 comes with glossy orange, black and green, glossy yellow and white color options. Both Nokia siblings ship with the time-tested hard polycarbonate body, capable of enduring daily wear-and-tear.
The Power :
Nokia has really improved vastly in this segment to match the specs given by their competitions. Nokia X2 now has under it's hood a faster and energy efficient 1.2GHz Snapdragon 200 series dual-core processor, backed by sumptuous 1GB RAM and 4GB (expandable up to 32GB), which is quite good than predecessor Nokia X .
Camera:
The most important upgrade and a lot of people asked for this , that is the revolutionary Nokia camera. It is seen a vast improvement and an additional front camera also.Now, the Nokia X2 houses a 5.0-megapixel primary camera (with Auto-focus and LED flash)(vooooo!!!) and a 0.3-megapixel VGA camera for video chatting.Is just a mindblowing addition.
Battery:
Nokia phones are always a flagships in the battery department and no matter how much you try to drain it some juice will be there. Nokia X ships with a 1500 mAh battery, which can power the phone for up to 13 hours of talk time and close to 17 days under standby mode.Which is more than sufficient for this category.
Mobile Operating System:
Both the devices run on Nokia X software platform, a tweaked AOSP (Android Open Source Project) OS featuring - the Tiles-like interface, seen inside the Windows Phone OS-powered devices.
Instead of Google-based maps and applications, people will find Nokia's Here maps service, Mix Radio (with more than 30 million songs), Nokia browser and more. Users can also side-load Android apps from third party app stores.
The new Nokia X2 ships with new Nokia X software v2.0 (said to be a tweaked version Android v4.3 Jelly Bean).
Competition :
Though the Nokia X2 is quite a good phone.It is got the revolutionary built quality services and battery life services by Nokia and got that trust behind it.In this range the Moto E is quite a killer though both these have a Dual Sim option , but where Nokia lags is the HD display and Gorilla glass provided in the E which quite phenomenal .On the other hand Nokia gives us dual cameras which compared to E has a single but with no flash.Moto E is pure stock Android compared to the confused software provided by Nokia.Still saying all that Nokia has come up with quite a phone that will make the consumers deciding . For now , the Moto E is quite the winner.
