My firsthand experience with the new Nokia X2 android phone
By now I believe
you all know that the Nokia X2 is the 2nd series of Nokia android
smartphones after the first X series that came in 3 variants of X, X+
and XL.
The first X
series of Nokia android phones no doubt were like android case study for Nokia,
but having the X2 now, you get a much improved features and functionalities.
Here, I just
want to give you my firsthand unbiased experience with the Nokia X2 by pointing
out some features that might interest you and for those that are planning to
get one of the devices to really know what they are going for.
Let’s take
you straight now into the topic of the day which is my firsthand experience with
the new Nokia X2 android device.

With the X2
at hand, I want to say that Nokia did a better work here than the former
series. Firstly, I want to start with the size of the device, as you might have
known the Nokia X2 features a 4.3 inches display, making it intermediary
between the Nokia X and that of the XL and giving it a perfect portability and hold
ability unlike the XL that many say it is too big and not very hold able with one
hand.
Then coming
to the back of the X2 which also serve as the battery cover and the color
determinant of the device, it has a more glossy cover making it look more
attractive than the former.
Now for the
display quality, obviously nothing changed as with the former, still the same
picture resolution of 480 X 800 pixels. The camera too is the same with that of
the XL featuring 5MP with LED flash, so nothing much to say here.

Coming down
to the buttons, the X2 has additional home button as can easily be seen and
this is in addition to the back button that was the only button that was
featured in the formers series.
Then still
on the buttons, one might easily think that the additional home button might
serve dual or multiple purposes, i.e. in addition to taking you to your home
screen, long key pressing to show you other open apps for easy multi-tasking.
But that was
not the case for the X2 device as expected, the included home button serve just
a single purpose of taking you to your home screen at any point in time. Rather
that anticipated feature of long key pressing to show other open apps was assigned
to the back button.
Then deeper
inside the phone, you know it came with 1GB RAM which is quite impressive as
compared to the former that featured 512MB and 768MB RAM. With the 1GB RAM for
the X2, you will not notice any lag time when opening and working on heavy apps
and also when playing heavy games unlike the former.
There is
WiFi and WiFi hotspot that work just very fine on it either through tethering
in or tethering out and also the 3G is equally fast as with other devices with
HSDPA.
Installing
and making use of app like Whatsapp is still a little problem on the Nokia X2,
except you install it through the backdoor method before you can use it easily.
The X2 came
with only one browser, i.e. the Opera mini browser which is its default browser
and just as recently announced by Microsoft that all its new and future phones
will be getting the Opera mini as its default browser as result of recent
partnership with Opera.
As you know,
you can always download other browsers of your choice in the Microsoft store or
other stores.
Going inside
the uncovered back of the phone you will find the spaces for the dual micro SIM
and that of the microSD card. Here, one of the SIMs can be inserted without needing
to take out the battery unlike the former series.
Android apps works fine on the X2 and so are Microsoft apps too.
So those are
my discovery and experience with the new Nokia X2 android device and serving judgment
from my end, I will say it is a pretty good device with perfect size for
smartphone.
