The Nokia XL has been officially announced as a 5-inch Android phone, part of Nokia’s new X family.
The 5-inch Nokia XL complements the 4-inch Nokia X and Nokia X Plus handsets also announced at MWC 2014 on February 24.
“The X family boasts Nokia’s exciting, high quality hardware design and a range of bright colours”, said Ian Delaney, editor of Nokia Conversations. “The brand new, tile-based Home screen offers you a simple, elegant way to manage your apps and phone functions and also reintroduces a redesigned version of the enormously popular Fastlane notifications centre – a second Home screen if you like – from the latest Asha devices.”
Nokia XL Features
The Nokia XL features a 5-inch 800 x 480p WVGA display running Android overladen with Nokia’s heavily Windows Phone 8 influenced UI.
Running on a 1GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor with 768MB of RAM, the Nokia XL comes with 4GB of internal storage coupled with microSD support up to 32GB.
It is powered by a 2000mAh battery that claims to offer 30 days on standby, 13 hours 3G talktime or 37 hours of music playback.
The dual-SIM Nokia XL also comes with a 5-megapixel rear camera with autofocus, 4x digital zoom and LED flash. There’s also a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and video calling.
Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-Fi, GPS and 3G connectivity are also included.
