Nokia X Review- The Best And The Worst Of Nokia X

by Rohit Khurana • March 21, 2014

Different people have different perceptions of the same concept or idea. Whenever we see something out of the standard league, we make opinions about it. Nokia X is one such product which is very different from other Android phones which we have used in the past. In fact, by the look of it and the interface, it does not feel like an Adroid phone at all. But the fact it that it runs on AOSP (Android Open Source Platform) software and is an android phone from the core. It can run android apps, but what is missing is the Android services by Google. It does not run services like Google Play Store, the Gmail App is also not supported.

The feature I personally miss the most is Google contact sync (which works on Windows Phones via email accounts), which is not supported on Nokia X. In this article, I share with you my experience with Nokia X for around 10 days of use. I have been using android phones for more than 2 years now. I also share some stress tests which I did on my Nokia X including a Nokia X drop test on hard marble floor and another test in which we pour cola over Nokia X and check its water resistant capabilities (which are not even claimed by Nokia). In this article, we share with you Nokia X Review in detail from a customer/ users perspective.

by Nitesh Rathore • March 10, 2014

INTEX Cloud Y4+ listed on company’s official website with a price tag of 5,990. If we do a little research about the smartphones available in this price segment, we found some interesting device along with much better specifications. Like Gionee Pioneer P2, Micromax Bolt A67 and Spice Smart Flo Poise Mi-451. All these smartphones has better display, better battery and the same price tag of INR 6000. Gionee Pioneer P2 launched last year in August but still it is a good deal at the price of INR 5700. Gionee P2 has same specifications as INTEX Cloud Y4+ has but P2 has better battery and lesser price. But the INTEX Cloud Y4+ is more thinner than P2 in terms of design. While at the other hand Micromax Bolt A67 and Spice Smart Flo Poise Mi has much bigger display than the Gionee P2 and INTEX Cloud Y4+. Both have slightly half inch bigger display than the other too.
