Nokia X2 dual SIM is what Microsoft is calling the first of its next generation X series of smartphones running on a forked version of Android. The 4.3-inch handset looks like your typical mash-up of the Lumia, Asha and X and now sports a Home option beside the Back button.
The Nokia X, X+ and XL don’t have a Home key and Microsoft hints that these three are incompatible with the Nokia X platform 2.0 update because of this. The new smartphone also happens to have higher RAM than the exiting trio and a more powerful Snapdragon SoC with a dual core 1.2GHz Cortex A7 processor.
We’re not too impressed by Microsoft, but if you must know the main specs of the Nokia X2 handset because you’d consider buying it, they include a 4.3-inch, 800 x 480p screen and it’s the first phone to work on Nokia X software platform 2.0. The device features a 5MP camera and a low resolution one on the front for selfies and video chats.
