Nokia XL First Look and Hands On Review: The 'Other Big' Android Offering with Potential

Nokia XL: Processing Power

There's a big reason why the Nokia XL is successful in running its apps without any real lag. The reason of course being the device being fitted with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor. So that means users can expect as less lags as possible, although we did find a bit of lag time while while the device was booting up.

Nokia XL: Camera

Of all the three X devices from Nokia, it's quite safe to say at this point that the Nokia XL actually boasts the best camera specs. The device offers a 5MP rear-facing sensor and a 2MP camera on the front.

The images snapped with the device seem quite reasonable, and will also handle in-image lighting quite well. However, don't expect a Nokia 930-like Pureview imaging. But considering the fact that device is anyway not meant for the high-section of the market, it's only natural that the camera specs are so.

Nokia XL: One Last Word

While Nokia has successfully made its first enrtry into the Android domain, if seen closer, the release may seem like a gamble to many. Although the device is Nokia's bigger variant of the previuosly released X, it still needs to be seen if the device will be popular with fans.

However, nothing takes away the fact that Nokia actually tried something new and different with the XL, and by the looks of it, they have pulled it off pretty well. But if the device is really to take the market by storm, it will only be due to the fact that this one is one of Nokia's first Android powered devices.
