Nokia XL Android Released in India for Rs.11,499.

After Nokia X and X+, new Android smartphone of Nokia hits the Indian market at Rs.11,499. Now, Nokia is standing firmly in Android devices.

This new smartphone of Nokia seems good from the specifications. Android which is used in this model is not official by Google, but it is based on Android Open Source Project. Interface of this smartphone is also different than other common Androids. Well, the play store which is supported on Android devices will not be supporting this phone. But no need to worry as Nokia has launched their own app store for this phone. More and more apps will be added to this store with time. One benefit is that, this device will be getting more Microsoft apps.

Camera is 5MP, which is satisfactory. RAM is 728 MB, which seems less but I think it will be sufficient for this AOSP Android. Resolution is also fine. Internal memory is less which is 4 GB.
This smartphone comes with a variety of back panels.

  • 5 inches of screen size with IPS LCD Display,

Nokia XL : Conlusion
While Nokia has successfully made its first entry into the Android domain, if seen closer, the release may seem like a gamble to many. Although the device is Nokia's bigger variant of the previuosly released X, it still needs to be seen if the device will be popular with fans.
However, nothing takes away the fact that Nokia actually tried something new and different with the XL, and by the looks of it, they have pulled it off pretty well. But if the device is really to take the market by storm, it will only be due to the fact that this one is one of Nokia's first Android powered devices.
