Microsoft launches Nokia X2 in India

The Nokia X2 is representative of the evolution of the Nokia X family, delivering an enhanced experience across user interface, hardware and apps.

Available at a best buy price of Rs. 8699, Nokia X2 offers stunning design, a more visually striking Fastlane and more Microsoft services.

It also offers upgraded specifications including a 4.3-inch Clear Black display, 5MP rear camera with auto-focus and flash and a VGA front camera, the company said.

“The Nokia X2 is a compelling choice for the new generation of smartphone buyers providing an enhanced experience across interface, hardware and apps. The enhancements on the Nokia X2 lead to a richer, faster and easier experience designed to introduce the “next billion” people to the mobile Internet and cloud services.” said Sari Harju, Head – Mobile Phones, Nokia India Sales Pvt. Ltd.

Giving a brief idea about the new Nokia X2, Harju said, the phone has the next-generation Nokia X Software Platform 2.0 and major enhancements to the user interface.

The Nokia X2 delivers an even more intuitive, smoother user experience powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor featuring a dual core 1.2Ghz CPU and 1GB of RAM.

According to Nokia, people can choose between three types of screens to facilitate navigation: the colorful “home” with re-sizable tiles; Fastlane to access recent apps and future calendar items; and a new Lumia-inspired apps list, from which people can pin items to the home screen.

A pull-down notifications tab also allows people to glance at connectivity options as well as actionable items, such as software updates available for download.

A new home key and visual multitasking complete the experience.

Like the Nokia X, the new Nokia X2 provides access to a world of Android apps and popular Microsoft services and signature Nokia experiences  while allowing people to switch between their favorite apps with the Fast lane feature.
