‘Nokia XL‘
The popular tagline for the Nokia XL states ‘Go Xtra Large with the new Nokia XL’ and although this is deserved with respect to its big size it ironically could very well have been ‘Go Xtra Small’ this time with respect to the price and the huge number of features that have been fit into this compact phone. The Nokia XL has debuted hot on the heels of its highly successful predecessor, the Nokia X, to further prove that Nokia has effectively made its comeback. Nokia enthusiasts might argue that they never even left. Whichever side you fall on the conclusion still remains; Nokia has struck gold with this one.
The Nokia XL is a mobile powerhouse which has the potential to be the most popular entry level Android enabled phone in the market. It more or less is the hero which was sent to correct the little flaws of the Nokia X such as the lack of a front camera, camera flash, a more long lasting battery and more. The Nokia XL has a big and vivid display screen, dual-sim capability, a 5 megapixel main camera as well as remarkable Nokia Fastlane feature.
