Nokia XL Dual SIM review: Start to Finnish

02 May 2014
The Nokia XL goes where Asha never dared, 5" screen territory. Windows Phone itself only recently got there, but the Nokia X family is really an extension of touchscreen Asha "smartphones" rather than a failsafe in case Windows Phone get...

so, no support for native 3G/UMTS video call feature?
it's very dissappointing.
Nokia just lost another potential customers.

FYI, the good old Symbian phones support native video call. the old S40 (pre-Asha S40) phones support native video call too. the Windows Mobile 6.x phones support native video call too. even the current Samsung's Android devices support native video call too.
so why can't Nokia make this one to also support native video call just like Symbian?

    Targeted for indian customers. But MMX has much much better canvas phones than these nokia X series. At this price point its not worth. 8000 Inr is ok.

      Even with XL at the end of its name, I'm not convinced.

      IMHO, complete disaster. Should of stocked with WP

        Better to buy the new Blackberry Z3 at these sort of prices. It leaves these mobiles for dead for specs and far superior OS. In Indonesia pre-orders were taken up in about a week or so. Check out the specs for the price, as that is always the aurguement of some people, and the Z3 is way a head. Lets also hope more people use BBOS10.2.1 because if is far superior to Android and what is Nokia X.

          If launched at Rs12k in India it will rock forcing Samsung to reduce price of Grand Neo. Ram could have been 1gb. Rest all fine for a budget big screen smartphone

            IMHO, if they want it to be unique, they should not follow others & make it with different form factor.
            ie: touch & type form factor, just like Nokia E6 or Nokia 303

              FromChinaWithLove, 02 May 2014Nokia really should've just stick with WP only. With the al... moreThey might do that in the future. But currently WP 8 can't run on a cortex-A5 CPU, support dual Sims, or support on screen buttons. At least not until WP 8.1 arrives in June 2014. I think that is why Microsoft and Nokia choose Android, because even older versions of Android supported all those features and more. Android also gives you the ability to even change the UI. That's why the UI for Nokia X devices looks like WP UI. Not to mention they only run Microsoft's apps and services with none of Google's apps or services to be found on them.

                It still has a really low end Qualcomm dual core Cortex-A5 processor with a really low end adreno 203 GPU. Right there alone, this should tell everyone how low end of a device this unit really is.

                  First website to give a complete review for Nokia XL. Thx. A great review giving answers to everything. Gr8 job. Getting a green one soon.

                    Nokia really should've just stick with WP only. With the all feature this phone got, Nokia just switch back to windows instead of android. This one will sell better than 521( or even the upcoming 635 for t-mobile). I don't care if the CPU on the 635 is better than the XL. $150 for a 5"screen, 5MP camera with flash and front facing camera, + 7XX ram running on windows phone 8. It the best deal.

                      Totally crap. It's something like travel in time to the past.
