Nokia X: an
affordable introduction to the family
The
Nokia X, a beautifully crafted smartphone with Nokia’s signature design
approach and bold, bright colors. At only 10.4 mm. thin, the slim, durable,
monobody design features a 4” capacitive WVGA touch screen that provides great
readability, and exchangeable back covers that come in a variety of statement
colors. Inside, the device runs on the Nokia X Software Platform and is powered
by a 1 Ghz dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
The
Nokia X features two screens: home, which features a fresh, tile-based design
and Fastlane. Fastlane is a dynamic record of how people use their phone,
day-by-day, moment-by-moment. It captures everything people love: they need
only to swipe once from the homescreen to access Fastlane, see a record of
recent activity, and switch between their favorite apps, smoothly. Fastlane has
been completely re-imagined for the Nokia X family. People can return a missed
call by calling or texting , accept or decline calendar invitations, or control
the music player – all from within the Fastlane view. Fastlane is also more
customizable and social friendly than ever. People can select what appears on
their Fastlane feed, read notifications from their social networks and update
their status from within Fastlane, making the experience even more productive.
