The Nokia X is already official, these are its characteristics

It started as a difficult rumor last year, when Microsoft bought Nokia. The existence of a project that, of course, would die at the hands of Redmond began to seem credible. However, the Nokia with Android has been looking more and more real with the passage of time. Today, the Nokia X has already been officially unveiled. These are its characteristics and specifications. In addition, a second terminal has arrived, the Nokia X +.

Screen and camera

The new smartphone from the Finnish company is not surprising for being a high-end. Its screen is clear proof that we are talking about a basic range terminal. Without four inches, with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, which leaves a pixel density of 245 PPI. For the entry-level smartphone range, it is normal. The display is TFT, being a capacitive multi-touch screen, with 16 million colors.

For its part, the camera that we find is not going to be a big deal, despite the fact that Nokia has integrated large cameras in other of its smartphones in recent years. In this case we will be able to have a three megapixel sensor that does not stand out especially in anything, but which will be the basics for a smartphone that aims to be one of the best options for those users who are looking for an Android as cheap as possible.

Processor and memory

The power of the terminal will not be the reason to buy it either, although it bets on a processor manufactured by a company company, a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon, capable of reaching a 1 GHz clock frequency, which will offer us sufficient solvency for the shares. common of a smartphone. We will not notice problems unless we try to run one of those video games that requires a high graphic level.

The internal memory of the terminal is not a big deal either, being 4 GB, which gives a basic capacity for a smartphone. To this should be added a very limited RAM of 512 MB. In other words, it is the most basic thing we can have within the Android landscape. Of course, it can be expanded by means of a microSD card.

Battery

Not much, but it doesn't surprise us in an entry-level smartphone either. It carries a 1.500 mAh unit, notably less than most smartphones on the market, but it is something totally common, since the screen it carries is small, and it will not consume a large amount of energy. Its autonomy will be up to 28 and a half days in standby, and up to 13 hours in 2G conversation. In other words, we will have a normal autonomy, which will complete a day with normal, reduced use.

Operating System

And here we go to the most important. As could be expected, the smartphone carries Android, and that is why we talk about it here. It is nothing more and nothing less than the first smartphone with Google's operating system. It is a milestone in the world of smartphones. The most famous company in the world when it comes to phones, if we take all history into account, finally launches a terminal with the most expanded mobile operating system in the world. It is not uncommon for it to attract so much attention, despite being an entry-level smartphone.

It has a custom system, in the style of Amazon's Kindle Fire. Although it is based on Android, the interface has been customized by Nokia to offer the experience they were looking for. Thus, although we still do not fully know all the differences between this interface and the pure one of Android.

Of course, now we can install all the applications that we have available on Android on the Nokia smartphone. But in addition to all this, it will also incorporate fully integrated Microsoft services, with special attention to Skype, OneDrive and Outlook.com.

We find an interface very similar to that of Lumia, with icons that have a square background frame and that can be perfectly distinguished. All on a completely black background. The grid of icons is 4 × 3, although we can make modifications as if they were widgets, making the gallery occupy the space of four icons, for example. The use of a wide range of colors has also been decisive in the design of this interface for Android, as we find a really striking system.

In the tests carried out in the presentation by the Nokia staff, we have found a very simple interface, which allows us to do the basics, such as creating folders, although we also do not see a very fast response time, something that is normal in any terminal of that range .

Of course, it will not carry Google Play, but Nokia's own store, in which there may also be some other alternative application stores. It will be the developers' job that the applications are also available in these stores, as the code will be the same.

Price

The best of all, yes, is the price of smartphones, as it can be purchased free for only 89 euros. It is probably the best option on the market for those who want to spend as little as possible on a smartphone. It will be available in stores from now on in six colors: green, red, cyan, yellow, black and white.

We also tell you the characteristics of the Nokia X + and Nokia XL.
