Along with the Nokia X, a faster X+ and bigger XL will join the Android-powered Nokia family.
BARCELONA—At its press event here at Mobile World Congress, Nokia made the X official and unveiled two new members of the X family—the X+ and XL.
Stephen Elop (pictured), executive vice president of devices and services at Nokia, took the stage to talk Asha, Lumia, and the newly christened, Android-powered X family of affordable, entry-level smartphones.
Nokia has its sights squarely aimed at the emerging global market of first-time smartphone users. Using the Asha and X lineup of affordable smartphones, Nokia hopes to connect "the next billion" users to its line of colorful phones, but more importantly to Microsoft services like Bing, Outlook, and OneDrive.
We've already covered the basics of the X, so we'll focus on the X+ and XL here. For a quick refresher, the X family runs on an Android Open Source Project foundation with a Nokia twist. This isn't Android as you've come to know it, and looks more like a cross between Nokia's Lumia and Asha phones.
The Nokia X+ looks physically identical to the X, featuring a 4-inch, 800-by-480-pixel display and 1GHz Qualcomm processor. The difference is a slight bump in RAM, from 512 to 768MB, and a microSD card slot for expanding phone storage.
The XL, as you might have guessed, is the biggest of the X family, packing a 5-inch display with the same 800-by-480-pixel resolution. It looks and feels like recent Lumia phones, with a sturdy polycarbonate back that comes in a variety of eye-popping colors. The XL also gets an upgraded 5-megapixel, rear-facing camera.
The X will retail for €89, while the X+ and XL will go for €99 and €109, respectively.
