Comparisons Featuring Nokia XL
Short Review
- The Nokia XL features a plastic build with a weight of 190g and dimensions of 141.4 x 77.7 x 10.9 mm, available in multiple vibrant colors.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 187 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for high-definition content.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8225 Snapdragon S4 Play chipset, a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU, and 4GB of RAM, which may struggle with demanding applications.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit capable of 480p video recording at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera serves basic selfie needs.
- The 2000 mAh battery provides moderate usage time but lacks fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) with the X platform, the software experience is limited compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers and the presence of a headphone jack are notable features.
- Overall, the Nokia XL is a basic smartphone with essential features and a focus on simplicity.
