Nokia XL Dual SIM review: Start to Finnish

 

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 messed up.

Quad-band GSM, GPRS, EDGE ; Dual-band 3G with HSPA ; Optional dual-SIM support, dual standby ; Nokia X software platform 1.0.1, based on the Android Open Source Project (4.1 Jelly Bean) ; 5" IPS LCD WVGA capacitive touchscreen, ~187 ppi ; 1.2GHz...

Large and heavy for a 5" device ; Low screen resolution ; No Google services (Play, Gmail, Maps, Calendar, Drive), you can't even sync contacts ; Budget-grade hardware may result in system bottlenecks ; Poor video capture ; No smart dialing ; No...

The Nokia XL is the best and the brightest of the new X family but, again, it's a step up from the Asha lineup rather than something to compete with Nokia's Windows Phone offerings or even most Androids.

Nokia XL review

 

It's not an exaggeration to say that the Nokia XL truly belongs in a class by itself, but I don't mean that in a good way.

The Nokia XL has a solid build quality, a powerful battery that lasts a full day on a single charge, and two SIM cards.

The XL's processor is slow, and its touchscreen is occasionally unresponsive. The poor screen resolution and unattractive UI severely hinder the user experience. You can't access the Google Play store and Nokia's app selection is very limited.

Despite having the best specs of Nokia's Android phones, the XL's poor performance and confusing OS denies users Android's full potential and a true Windows Phone experience.

Nokia XL Review

 

The Nokia XL is the largest in Nokia's family of affordable Android-running phones, but just like all the rest in the X series, you'd find it hard to recognize it as an Android phone…

Large and vivid 5-inch display ; Runs the main interface fairly smoothly ; Camera is above the average for the class ; Very affordable ; Above average call quality

No Google Play Store and crippled app selection ; Bulky build ; Android Nokia X platform is a design mess

With an off-contract price of around $165 (€140 in Europe), the Nokia XL is an affordable device that stands out with a display larger than most of its competitors in this price range. Needless to say, this large and also gorgeous display is its...

Nokia XL first cut, Nokia’s honeymoon with Android continues

 

The Nokia XL comes with a 5 inch IPS LCD display but with the same 800x480 pixels resolution as found in X and X+.

Nokia XL

 

Hands-on at MWC 2014: A big, cheap Android phone from Nokia. Is this the dream come true?

Carrying over Nokia's Lumia style build quality to a cheap Android phone sounds like a winning combo, and it is in some respects. However, the low screen resolution and lack of Google services mean it's far from perfect.

Nokia XL review

 

Nokia's big screen Android phone is lacking a Google presence

Low price for big screen ; Android apps ; Fast Lane hub

Not the quickest ; Bulky design ; No Google services

The Nokia XL is aimed at a narrow area of the market and it's a smartphone which will likely have big appeal in emerging markets, but less of a presence in more developed areas.

Nokia XL Review: Bigger, But Not Better

 

Study construction; Good music quality; Offline maps

Sluggish performance; Lacks many popular Andoid apps; Doesn't support HD videos

The Nokia XL is a sturdy handset that comes in candy colours. The Nokia services such as MixRadio and HERE maps are its strong points. However, it's annoyingly sluggish to be called a 'smartphone'. The single key navigation is counterintuitive. What's...
