Nokia X is the first Android machine owned by Nokia. Its neat and clean design and workmanship are deeply loved by Nuoji. What is the difference between Nokia and Android? Can Android eventually become Nokia's lifeline? Let's explore and enter the heart of Nokia Android.

appearance

Nokia X uses a 4-inch 480 × 800 resolution screen. It looks very small when held in the hand. One hand operation is OK.

Although it does not use a full fit screen, the viewing angle of Nokia X is good, but the screen brightness is slightly low.

There is not much problem with the visual angle of all aspects.

On the top of the screen is a Nokia logo, on the top is the earpiece position, and on the right side of the logo is an unobvious distance sensor.

Although Nokia X uses the Android 4.1 system, a large part of the operating habits of this Android system have been completely changed by Nokia. There is only a return key at the bottom and a USB interface in the lower border.

There is a 3.5 mm headphone connector on the top.

The right side of the phone is the volume key and power key, while the left side has nothing.

There is a recessed NOKIA logo on the back of Nokia X, with the camera on the top and the speaker below. Basically, there are no other unnecessary signs and designs, which are very clean. In addition, the optional blue color of Nokia is very beautiful, beautiful lake blue, energetic but not rigid.

The 3 megapixel camera, unfortunately, cannot focus.

The camera is totally an ornament because it is not in focus.

However, the appearance of Nokia X is relatively simple and clean. Compared with the uniform appearance design of Android, the colorful Nokia X is quite eye-catching.

Performance?

After all, Nokia X is just a water trial product. Its configuration is a huge hole. It uses a low resolution screen, and its CPU is just a Qualcomm Xiaolong MSM8625 dual core 1GHz processor. The GPU is Adreno 203. Compared with the current 700 low-cost entry-level Android computers in China, there is no way to make hardware comparisons.

In terms of running score, only about 6100 points, which is very, very unpopular.

VELLAMO HTML 5 also has a low score.

In addition, the editor also tested the very old NenaMark 2 3D test, and finally only 31 frames.

Since the configuration is too low, we will not do too much performance testing.

system

This time, Nokia felt that it had made Android into WP and MeeGo. At the beginning, when the screen was opened, the strong WP style would even make it doubtful whether it was an Android phone in its hand. Sliding down the screen would bring up the search bar. Only the desktop, no secondary menu, all applications will be stacked on the desktop. It seems that Nokia's optimization is OK. The desktop slides smoothly, but only the desktop is smooth.

The position and size of WP style icon tiles can also be changed at will, but the icon size can only be adjusted by two parties, either large or small. Compared with the free size of WP, there are still restrictions.

In addition, third-party applications can also set the color matching at the bottom of the tiles, which is quite good.

In addition, there are desktop plug-ins for applications. After selecting the corresponding desktop plug-in, you can set it on the desktop.

Slide left or right under the lock screen to unlock. The application's shape can be prompted directly on the lock screen. Press the corresponding prompt to slide left or right to unlock and enter the application. If more software is installed, there will be a lot of improvement. What should I do? Press and hold any lift to move up and clean it immediately.

The drop-down list is also very simple. The only things that can be quickly set on the top are: WIFI, Bluetooth, mobile network and system mute. The arrangement of internal settings is basically the same as that of native Android. Only when you see it here can you be sure that it is Android.

Nokia X also has the function of double clicking the screen to wake up the phone, but after the test, it is found that the screen cannot be lit by double clicking the screen, Only after three quick clicks (Sheldon will like it) can the screen wake up normally 。 The internal capacity of the mobile phone is only about 1GB for users, and the maximum support is 32GB TF card expansion.

In addition, there are still developer options. Nokia X has a dual card design, so it will add an additional dual card setting.

Swipe left or right on the desktop to call up the latest task record. This is different from the multitasking background that is called up by long pressing the Home key on most Android computers. Long pressing a task will pop up a button to close the task. Clicking the trash can in the lower right corner will clear all the tasks at once. Different from ordinary Android computers, long pressing the only capacitive key at the bottom of Nokia X in the application does not call up the multitasking interface, but directly returns to the desktop, If you enter the application in the multitasking interface, you can also return to the multitasking interface by pressing and holding the return key.

The dialing interface is very simple and crude, and the call interface is also very simple. The design style of Nokia X uses a large number of circles, and the operation interface is relatively pleasing. In addition, the quality of calls is still very good, and the effect is good.

As the operation mode of Nokia X is completely reformed, there is no menu button on the contact interface. So when you see a drop-down bar at the bottom of some application interfaces, you need to know that dragging the drop-down bar up will bring up the menu interface of the application.

SMS interface, this type of chat box is very good, very consistent with the design language of Nokia X.

The design of Nokia's built-in input method is good, and there are many places where you can set it freely. However, in terms of ease, you should install the input method you have always been accustomed to. If it is not easy to use the Android system, you should not be embarrassed. In addition, due to the main reason of low configuration, typing is also a bit stuck, and the system response is often unable to keep up with the hand speed. It is often necessary to type according to the slow response of the system. The fluency experience is really weak. In addition, as far as the preliminary test is concerned, the typewriting fluency of the installed 100X input method is higher than that of the native Nokia input method.

Because there is no menu key, the menu key of some applications is replaced by the drop-down bar at the bottom. This design is acceptable, but sometimes it will cover the bottom of the original application. Although it is only slightly covered, it is a deep feeling of discomfort.

Nokia X's own official store, The types of applications and games are much better than those in the WP Store.

Of course, it is a real Android system after all, and you can still install the third-party application market.

Take a picture

Because Nokia X uses a 3 megapixel camera that can't be focused and can't measure light, it only measures light in the center, so... it can only be used as an ornament.

Shoot macro? It is even more impossible. Even after a certain distance, where the focus is clear, the image is blurred, which can be said to be invisible.

game

Since the hardware of Nokia X is weak, we only want to play some small games. Angry Birds unexpectedly ran smoothly, without any card.

The Parkour subway takes a long time to load at the beginning. It's a little bit stuck when playing, especially when a train is coming and the lane changes from left to right.

"Temple Escape 2" unexpectedly can be played... It is actually measured that high quality and low quality play have little impact on flow smoothness, which is slightly stuck... So it is better to play the game with high quality.

Video

In terms of video playback, Nokia's native player is relatively simple and difficult to use. Here we use MX player, but the 1080P videos tested cannot play smoothly.

The 720P AVI, MKV and MP4 formats tested can be played smoothly using MX player soft decoding, but if you really pay attention to the video playback ability... you will not choose a machine with such poor screen resolution and playback performance.

After playing games and watching videos for a long time, the most serious part of the front of the fuselage is the lower right corner, and the back is also in the same position. Because the fuselage is thick, the heating is not obvious, only about 36 degrees Celsius.

summary

In general, this Nokia X is just a useless Android phone with Nokia aura. To a large extent, the system is de Android, but it is not unacceptable. In fact, many people like the tile style. Although the screen is not unattractive, it may still be difficult for consumers to accept that it has been spoiled by high-resolution screens in recent years. The performance is really weak. Although Nokia has really done a good job in optimization, it is always a fact that the hardware is too weak. You can also feel the obvious stuttering in the application process. As for games and videos, they can only play small games (big games don't dare try at all) and videos up to 720P. With the low resolution screen, the experience is not good. The cameras used by the camera manufacturers this time are too weak to meet the requirements of daily use.

But of course, the appearance of Nokia X is pretty good, and the beautiful colorful color matching is also a highlight. Unfortunately, there is only appearance.

If Nokia had chosen Android before being attacked by Microsoft Trojans and produced some high-end models, it might have saved its life by this straw. Unfortunately, Nokia, which has been infringed by Microsoft's Trojan Horse, has been firmly committed to WP, and Android models will continue to be developed, but they will only develop very low-end Android machines, and high-end configurations will only exist on WP machines. Android is not Nokia's lifeline, and this mobile phone only attracts some consumers with Nokia complex to buy it. However, thanks to Nokia's craftsmanship and brand, this low-end Android phone is very popular in China, but again, the benefits created by Nokia X will eventually fall into the endless void of WP.
