Nokia X News Digest: Russian sales of Nokia XL and webinar recordings for developers

Hi, Habr!
Over the past month, a number of news about the Nokia X platform and devices based on this platform have appeared. Therefore, we decided to make a small digest, collecting all relevant events in one post.



Under the cat, you can find out the technical details about the older smartphone on the Nokia X platform and see the published webinar entries for developers.

Nokia XL sales start


On May 15, the sales of the “big” model on the Nokia X platform (a modernized Android Open Source Project) - the Nokia XL Dual Sim - officially started. The cost of new items is 6,990 rubles , which is 2,000 rubles more than the younger brother.

For this amount, the buyer receives a device with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor operating at 1 GHz. The amount of RAM is 768 MB (for Nokia X - 512 MB), and the built-in memory is 4 GB and can be expanded with a microSD memory card of up to 32 GB.

The main advantages of the Nokia XL are a five-inch touchscreen IPS-display with WVGA resolution (800 x 480 pixels), a main 5 megapixel camera (1/4 inch sensor, maximum aperture F / 2.8, autofocus) with LED flash, and a front-facing camera with a resolution of 1 , 9 megapixels. For comparison: the Nokia X has a four-inch IPS display with the same resolution, a 3 megapixel main camera without flash and no front camera.
