Nokia XL Hits The Shelves In India For Rs 11,489

With so many options in the mobile market, we suggest you get something better.

 

Nokia let the Nokia XL loose and the device is now available on sale online for Rs 11,489. The device is the elder sibling of the Nokia X which was announced along with the XL+ at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona earlier this year. The handset is available online on the official Nokia E-Store and will soon be available with retailers shortly.

The Nokia XL similar to the Nokia X runs on the Nokia X Software Platform with AOSP Android Jelly bean 4.1 as its base. The device comes with a 5 inch (800 x 480 pixel) display and is powered by a 1GHz S4 dual-core Snapdragon processor with 768MB of RAM. The handset comes with a 5MP primary camera and 2MP front-facing unit coupled with 4GB of internal memory which is expandable up to 32GB to store the same.

The Nokia X was an instant failure and saw severe price cuts which were part of Nokia’s efforts to push sales. The device certainly performed horribly for its asking price and is clearly an abomination of Microsoft’s services coupled with tweaked Android apps.

We have no clue how many more would fall victim to such a bad combination of hardware and software in a market that gives plenty of options to choose from. If you are in love with Microsoft’s squared tiles, you could go in for the Nokia’s very own Lumia 630 which is priced at Rs 10,500. You will get complete access to the Microsoft’s ecosystem of apps and the perks that come with it as well. Again, if you are indeed hell-bent on running Android apps, you could always go in for the Moto G (8GB) which retails for a slightly higher Rs 12,500. Both devices offer better hardware (Snapdragon 400 processors) and much better software. Moreover it always beats sitting on the fence right?
