Description of nokia x2 02. Nokia X2 - Specifications. Different sensors perform different quantitative measurements and convert physical metrics into signals that can be recognized by the mobile device
Slightly grown and improved version of the "smartphone for Android applications"
Big changes swept through Microsoft's mobile division this summer. Nokia has done away with Asha's budget lineup. The software giant has ditched the ambitious McLaren project. And it was decided to transfer the Nokia X line to OS Windows Phone, ending all relations with the Android platform.

* - at the time of writing the corresponding article
The second model Nokia X no longer looks "gnawed" from all sides. Volume random access memory increased to a comfortable gigabyte, appeared front-camera and flash, a more powerful SoC was installed. But the price has also increased, and by a noticeable amount for the budget segment.
Equipment
The Nokia X2 comes with the same set of accessories as its predecessor. Only the headphones have been repainted in regular black. This was not good for the "bright Nokia X2".
By the way, the headset does not have a call receiving button, so you will have to take the smartphone out of your pocket when you call. The cable for connecting to the PC is still missing.
Design
Externally, Nokia X2 is not much different from its predecessor. At first glance, only additional button"Home" under the display, moving the back button to the left.
The main design feature of Nokia X2 is a two-layer body, made using the same technology as in Nokia Asha 500/502/503. The bottom layer is made of colored polycarbonate. The upper one is made of an almost transparent polymer material, slightly tinted in the color of the lower layer.
The original Nokia X looked like a toy, largely due to its ingenious plastic casing. The second generation turned out to be much more interesting in this regard.
Phones with a two-layer case are not widespread on the market, which allows Nokia X2 to win next to discreet neighbors in the shop window due to its originality.
The rear speaker is now centered. The flash is positioned above the camera.
A closer examination of the lens and flash shows that the back cover does not fit well with the main body of the smartphone.
The mechanical buttons have hardly changed, only the volume rocker is now split by a slot.
The Micro-USB connector has been moved from the bottom to the top, to the headphone output. The 3.5mm jack is moved down, but its hole is covered by the outer layer of the case. The rest of the smartphone has no functional elements.
To open the smartphone, you need to press on the lower corners of the case and at the same time on the rear panel, just like in Nokia X. After a few such manipulations, the colored cover begins to fit loosely and play in the lower left corner - the previous model was more reliable in this regard ...
Access to SIM1 and microSD is possible only with the battery removed. Please note that the sticker of the first model reads "Nokia", and here - "Microsoft Mobile".
The slot of the second SIM-card is located so that it can be accessible while the smartphone is in operation. The hot-swap function works perfectly here, the card is quickly detected by the phone on the go without rebooting. Another nice improvement in the series.
The build quality of the Nokia X2 is inferior to the original. It is worth taking off five or six times back cover, and it already begins to fit loosely to the body, which can sometimes be caught even by ear. In general, the second version of the smartphone became more interesting both from an aesthetic and functional point of view, but there were no fundamental changes. Perhaps we will see more daring design moves with the transition of the series to Windows.
Screen
The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface, resistant to scratches. Judging by the reflection of objects anti-glare properties of the screen are not worse than those of the screen Google Nexus 7 (2013) (hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, here is a photo in which a white surface is reflected in the turned off screens of both devices (Nokia X2 is on the right, then they can be distinguished by their size):
The screen of the Nokia X2 is even slightly darker (the brightness in the photos is 99 versus 101 for the Nexus 7). The tripling of reflected objects in the Nokia X2 screen is very weak, which indicates that there is no air gap between the outer glass (aka the touch sensor) and the matrix surface ( screen type OGS - One Glass Solution). Due to the smaller number of boundaries (such as glass-air) with greatly different refractive indices, such screens look better in conditions of strong ambient light, but their repair in the case of cracked outer glass is much more expensive, since the entire screen has to be changed. On the outside of the screen, there seems to be a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating, but its effectiveness is low, so fingerprints appear quickly, and relatively much effort is required to remove them.
With manual brightness control, its maximum value was about 455 cd / m², and the minimum is 9 cd / m²... The maximum brightness is high, and given the good anti-glare properties, the screen should be clearly legible in bright daylight. In complete darkness, the brightness can be lowered to a comfortable level. There is no automatic brightness control by the light sensor. The sensor between the front speaker and the camera can be mistaken for light-sensitive, but CPU-Z indicates that it is a proximity sensor.
At any brightness level, there is a modulation of the backlight with rectangular pulses with an amplitude of 100% and a frequency of 300 Hz. At high brightness, the fill factor is high, almost 100%, so there is no screen flickering; when the brightness is lowered, the fill factor decreases, and flickering can already be noticed, for example, when the eyes (or the phone relative to the eyes) move quickly. Depending on the individual characteristics, such modulation can lead to increased fatigue. Or it may not.
This screen uses matrix type IPS... The micrographs show the typical IPS subpixel structure:
For comparison, you can see the gallery of photomicrographs of screens used in mobile technology.
The screen has good viewing angles without a significant color shift even with large gaze deviations from the perpendicular to the screen and without inverting (except for the darkest shades when the gaze is deviated along one diagonal). For comparison, here is a photo in which the screens of Nexus 7 and Nokia X2 display the same images, while the brightness of the screens was initially set to about 200 cd / m² (across the white field across the entire screen), and the color balance on the camera was forcibly switched to 6500 K. White field perpendicular to the plane of the screens:
Note the acceptable uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field. And the test picture:
Color reproduction is good and colors are saturated on both screens, but the color balance is slightly different. Now at an angle of approximately 45 ° to the plane and to the side of the screen:
It can be seen that the colors have not changed much on both screens, but in Nokia X2 the contrast has decreased to a greater extent due to a greater decrease in brightness and a strong lightening of black, and there is clearly added blue. And a white box:
The brightness at an angle on both screens has noticeably decreased (at least 5 times, based on the difference in exposure), but in the case of Nokia X2, the drop in brightness is much greater. At the same time, the color tone of the white field on the Nokia X2 screen has slightly changed. When deviated diagonally, the black field is lightened strongly (especially taking into account the general drop in image brightness) and acquires a violet or red-violet tint. The photos below demonstrate this (the brightness of the white areas in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the screens is the same for the screens):
And from a different angle:
With a perpendicular view, the uniformity of the black field is mediocre, since in several places along the edge the black is noticeably lightened, and the entire screen is in some spots across the area:
Contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is normal - about 700: 1. The response time for the transition black-white-black is 21 ms (10 ms on + 11 ms off). The transition between gray tones of 25% and 75% (based on the numerical value of the color) and back takes 32 ms in total. The gamma curve, plotted using 32 points with equal intervals in terms of the numerical value of the shade of gray, did not reveal a blockage either in highlights or shadows, and the exponent of the approximating power function turned out to be 2.15, which is insignificantly lower than the standard value of 2.2, while the real gamma the curve deviates little from the power-law dependence:
The color gamut differs slightly from sRGB:
The spectra show that the matrix filters moderately mix the components together:
At the same time, the coordinates of red and green colors are not very far from the corresponding vertices of sRGB, as a result, the colors of images - drawings, photographs and films - oriented to the sRGB space (and there are an overwhelming majority of them) have natural saturation and hue. The balance of shades on the gray scale is not ideal, since the color temperature is not much higher than the standard 6500 K, however, the deviation from the spectrum of a completely black body (ΔE) is greater than 10 (due to the excess of green), which is not a very good indicator even for a consumer device. However, the variation in color temperature and ΔE is small, which has a positive effect on the visual perception of color balance. The dark areas of the gray scale can be ignored, since the color balance there is not very important, and the error in measuring the color characteristics at low brightness is large.
Let's summarize. The screen has sufficiently high maximum brightness and has good anti-reflective properties, so the device can be used outdoors without any problems, even on a sunny summer day. In complete darkness, the brightness can be lowered to a comfortable level. However, the brightness will have to be adjusted manually, since there is no automatic brightness adjustment mode. The advantages of the screen include the absence of an air gap in the layers of the screen, a color gamut close to sRGB and a good - in visual assessment - color balance. The disadvantages - weak oleophobic coating, poor black stability to gaze deviation from the perpendicular to the plane of the screen, rapid drop in image brightness when viewed from an angle, not very good uniformity of the black field... We also note PWM brightness control with a frequency of 300 Hz, which can also be a disadvantage in case of individual intolerance. In general, the quality of the screen is a compromise, although not to say that it is bad.
Sound
The rear speaker in Nokia X2 seems to have been only slightly shifted, and this is where the innovations ended. The listening experience remained about the same as in the first model. Sound quality meets expectations from budget smartphones. No distortion appears at maximum volume.
As for the conversational dynamics, here some progress is noticeable. Nokia X2 no longer suffers from timbre distortions. But there is no need to dream about the crystal-clear communication that is characteristic of flagships.
You cannot record a conversation using a smartphone. There is an FM radio, which requires headphones to work.
Telephone part and communications
Nokia X2 is equipped with two Micro-SIM slots, one of which supports the hot-swap function, which does not require rebooting the smartphone. Any of the cards can be assigned for data transmission, in this regard they are equivalent. Collaboration is organized in Dual Standby mode - both SIM cards are available in standby mode.
Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n is supported and the creation of an access point via Wi-Fi, USB and Bluetooth. Navigation in Nokia X2 works perfectly, in less than a minute it detects many satellites, not only GPS and Glonass, but also the Chinese Beidou system. And immediately contacts them.
USB OTG is not supported by the smartphone, but a small amount of memory can be expanded using microSD. Of the 4 GB of internal memory, 2.25 GB is available. Turning on the smartphone takes 50 seconds, which is much more than the average.
Camera
Nokia X2 has stepped far forward in the possibilities of capturing photos and videos. The original model had a single camera with a resolution of only 3 megapixels. In the second version of the smartphone, it has grown to 5 megapixels and acquired a flash. In addition, there is a front camera with a resolution of 0.3 megapixels.
The main camera was commented on by Anton Soloviev:
 |
Sharpness according to plans is not bad. |
 |
Shumodav processes noise only in weak shadows. In the strong, they are noticeable, but not striking. |
 |
Despite some noise, the color of the sky is fairly even. |
 |
On the right, you can see the out-of-focus area. |
 |
The number of the nearest car is distinguishable, but more distant numbers are already impossible to make out. |
 |
Sharping on wires is practically absent. |
 |
The camera copes well with macro photography. |
 |
The camera does a good job of writing, but not all characters are clearly legible. |
For its 5 megapixel camera, the camera is not so bad, although it has a lot of problems. Shumodav tries to work as accurately as possible, and, as a result, makes almost no visible improvements. On the other hand, the sensor makes a rather “soft” noise, and the noise is not striking. The optics in the camera are quite good. In some places, for some reason, there are areas of confusion, but in general, the images are quite sharp across the field and according to plans. In this case, the optics can work out more than the sensor can perceive. Nevertheless, the camera is quite good, but it does not work at all smoothly and does not cope with all the scenes. But shooting large text or general plans is within her power.
The maximum video resolution that the Nokia X2 camera is capable of is 1280 × 720.
The video is not very clear due to the low bit rate. However, if you remember that Nokia X shot a maximum of 352 × 288, progress is evident.
Software
The Nokia X2 runs on the Nokia X2 2.0 operating system (apparently based on Android 4.3). It differs from the original OS installed in Nokia X only appearance... The structure of the system has remained unchanged. The main screen contains application shortcuts in the form of tiles, just like in Windows. Swiping to the left opens the list of all applications, and swiping to the right opens the Fastlane alert feed. Works operating system, in general, stable, but sometimes the interface slows down, especially when switching between applications and when setting up the desktop
Nokia and Yandex branded stores are available to install applications. There is no Play Store. Moreover, you won't even be able to add google account to import contacts and other information. This is not difficult to fix.
It is easy to pre-install the driver and obtain Root rights through the utility. During installation, a request or two from the application will pop up on the phone - confirm them. The Play Market can also be supplied via Nokia X2 Tools. But in our case, it had a serious drawback: the program did not link purchases to the account. Therefore, we used an alternative method.
Play Market is installed in much the same way as Google services in Ramos i10 Pro. You just need to copy all three files, including Vending.apk. And take them out of it. After copying and changing permissions, restart your smartphone. Play Market is installed.
V new version Nokia X OS is even closer to the original Android. Now, by shifting from the top, you can call up two separate menus, with notifications and switches. This slightly expands the functionality, more icons are placed than before.

The Achilles' heel of the Nokia X was surfing the Internet, which is the very slow rendering of web pages. In the second version of the smartphone, it is installed as standard Opera browser... We've browsed a lot of web pages through it and Chrome. The impressions turned out to be much more pleasant, only in rare cases the drawing lagged behind by a split second, and even then on very loaded sites.
Performance
For the second generation Nokia X, Qualcomm's SoC was also chosen. From the base series of the next generation - Qualcomm Snapdragon S200, model MSM8210.
The central processor consists of two Cortex-A7 cores (ARMv7-A architecture) with a frequency of 1.2 GHz. For graphics, the Adreno 302 chip is used. The configuration is quite budgetary, you shouldn't have expected more from Nokia X2. Fortunately, the manufacturer has expanded the amount of RAM to one gigabyte, which cannot but affect the performance in a favorable way.
The performance boost allows the Snapdragon 200 to easily outperform the Antutu 4 Mediatek MT6572, which is very common in budget smartphones. The previous Nokia X was not capable of this. And for Geekbench 3, there is not much difference: both SoCs have processor cores with the same characteristics. It is strange that twice the amount of RAM was not taken into account.
| Nokia X2 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 200) |
Nokia X (Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Play) |
Explay Atom (Mediatek MT6572) |
Oppo Muse R821 (Mediatek MT6572) |
|
| 3DMark Ice Storm (more is better) |
4094 | 2338 | 1882 | 1905 |
| 3DMark Ice Storm Extreme (bigger is better) | 2252 | 1296 | 812 | 939 |
| 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited (more is better) | 3710 | 2245 | — | — |
| Nenamark 2 | 53.0 fps | 32.3 fps | 41.9 fps | — |
| Basemark X Middle Quality (more is better) | 3682 | — | — | — |
| Bonsai benchmark | 1634 (23.3 fps) | 823 (11.7 fps) | — | — |
| Epic Citadel High Quality | 42.9 fps | 23.4 fps | — | — |
| Epic Citadel Ultra High Quality | 32.3 fps | — | — | — |
In synthetic 3DMark, the superiority over MT6572 becomes more than twofold. Even in the most demanding Epic Citadel mode, the Snapdragon 200 SoC demonstrates a decent result
Through the efforts Google chrome the Snapdragon 200 SoC beats that of Mediatek. Based on the hardware capabilities, Nokia X2 could swing at middling games, but the very small amount of internal memory does not allow it. It is worth installing several third-party applications to fill the gaps in the firmware, and, for example, the far from the heaviest Asphalt 8 will complain about the lack of memory. Fans of the X series continue to get only casual entertainment.
Video playback
MHL, like Mobility DisplayPort we are in this smartphone were not found, so I had to limit myself to testing the output of video files on the screen of the device itself. To do this, we used a set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle moving one division per frame (see "Testing techniques for video playback and display devices. Version 1 (for mobile devices)"). Screenshots with a shutter speed of 1 s helped to determine the nature of the frame output of video files with various parameters: the resolution varied (1280 × 720 (720p) and 1920 × 1080 (1080p) pixels) and the frame rate (24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 frames / with). We used a stock video player in our tests. The test results are summarized in the table:
Note: If both columns Uniformity and Skips green ratings are set, this means that, most likely, when watching movies, artifacts caused by uneven alternation and skipping of frames will either not be visible at all, or their number and visibility will not affect the viewing comfort. Red marks indicate possible problems related to the playback of the respective files.
If we restrict ourselves to 24-25 frames / s typical for cinema, then according to the criterion for outputting frames, the quality of video playback on the screen of the smartphone itself is good, since frames (or groups of frames) can be displayed with a more or less uniform alternation of intervals and without frame drops. The displayed brightness range is standard range 16-235, that is, in the shadows and highlights, all gradations of shades are displayed in the case of normal video files.
Let's try to reproduce five files of common formats.
| Format | Container, video, sound | MX Video Player | Native video player |
| DVDRip | AVI, XviD 720 × 400 2200 Kbps, MP3 + AC3 | reproduced normally | reproduced normally, no subtitles |
| Web-DL SD | AVI, XviD 720 × 400 1400 Kbps, MP3 + AC3 | reproduced normally | reproduced normally, no subtitles |
| Web-DL HD | MKV, H.264 1280 × 720 3000Kbps, AC3 | reproduced normally | played without sound |
| BDRip 720p | MKV, H.264 1280 × 720 4000 Kbps, AC3 | reproduced normally | played without sound |
| BDRip 1080p | MKV, H.264 1920 × 1080 8000Kbps, AC3 | reproduced normally | played without sound |
The new budget platform Nokia X2 works well with all five common formats, whereas its predecessor could not even cope with 720p. Hardware decoding of AC3 tracks is not supported.
Battery life
Capacity Nokia battery X2 is 1800 mAh. The developers did not reach the round value, but this is already better than the modest 1500 mAh in the first modification.
The battery consumption is not uniform throughout the entire discharge period; when calculating, it is worth adding about 6% of the time that the smartphone keeps on the last percent.
| Battery capacity | Reading mode | Video mode | 3D Game Mode | |
| Nokia X2 | 1800 mAh | 12 h 40 min | 7 h 45 min | 4 h 25 min |
| Nokia X | 1500 mAh | 14 h 15 min | 6 h. 50 min. | 3 h 50 min |
| Explay Atom | 2000 mAh | 9 h 50 min | 5 h 40 min | — |
| Oppo Muse R821 | 1700 mAh | 20 h 30 min | 10 h 30 min | — |
| Oppo Mirror R819 | 2000 mAh | 10 h 20 min | 8 h 20 min | 5 h 00 mins |
| Fly Luminor IQ453 | 2000 mAh | 10 h 00 mins | 7 h 00 mins | 4 h 10 min |
| Alcatel OT Idol X | 2000 mAh | 10 h 00 mins | 6 h 40 min | 4 h 00 mins |
The autonomy of Nokia X2 has become more balanced compared to its predecessor. In reading mode, the smartphone lasts less, but it still does not yield to most competitors. But a more powerful SoC consumes more efficiently in more loaded modes, allowing you to increase the time autonomous work in games and during video playback. Charging a smartphone using the included adapter (5 V, 0.75 A) takes about four hours.
Conclusion
The Nokia X line continues to evolve. In the second version of the device, the functionality was expanded, the stability improved, and some annoying problems were fixed. Nokia X2 could easily compete on all fronts with more unsightly budget smartphones, but this is difficult due to the increased price. In the list competitive advantages the device still has the original design, although the deterioration in build quality spoiled the impression. We hope that in the third Nokia versions X the amount of flash memory will be increased to a viable 8 GB, and mobile windows will leave something of them for the modest needs of the user.
Content:Now you will get not only a couple of slots for cards of different operators (or tariffs), but also a camera that was not in previous models of similar design.
It should be noted right away that, since there is one radio module, it will not work to conduct simultaneous conversations on both SIMs. However, this is a common feature of inexpensive models. The phone has good equipment: of the interesting features, apart from a 2-megapixel camera, a player with dedicated control keys, a slot for a memory card, a 2.2 ”QVGA-screen, as well as a radio that works without headphones and an FM transmitter deserves attention. A musical device comes out, at the same time adapted to work with a pair of cards.

Appearance
Monoblock reminds of models and, only it has a different color rear panel and a better keyboard shape. The dimensions of the device are slightly different: 113x50x15 mm, weight 93 g. Due to the slightly curved back panel, the phone fits well in the hand.
In addition, the side surfaces have a beveled shape, which contributes to a more comfortable grip. The chubby phone is quite comfortable to wear in jeans or trousers, although it should be noted that other modules receive thinner cases.
Nokia X2-02 can be of several colors: red, black, blue, orange, purple. Build quality flawlessly, very good. A neatly made device will please you with its solidity, tight fit of parts. Glossy plastic is easily soiled, both the front part and the back panel are quickly covered with fingerprints. A more practical matte material can be found on the sides. It is a simple, slightly rough plastic.
At the top is a small cutout for the earpiece.
There are buttons under the screen. There are a couple of soft-keys, under them are the buttons for receiving and ending a call. The latter can turn off the phone. They are marked with simple and visual icons in the form of red and green handsets. The buttons are made in the form of small flat plates. They have a small move, but they themselves are slippery, not very pleasant.
In the center there is a 4-way navigation key with a small and clear stroke. She has raised sides, and the central part is recessed down. It is pressed with a soft click. Pressing the center performs the function of confirming the action.
The keyboard is comfortable, 12 separate keys are arranged in four rows. The buttons are puffy, embossed, easy to press. Again, the plastic is glossy and slippery, so not everyone might like them. But there are no complaints about the convenience of the dialing, here this issue is solved much better than in X1-01 and X1-00. The symbols are printed in silver and are clearly visible on a black background. The backlight works fine, everything is clearly visible.
There are additional elements on the beveled side faces. On the right, the user gets a set of two buttons for adjusting the volume. Nearby is a compartment for a SIM card under a protective flap.
On the other side, there is a slot for a microSD card. It is also hidden under a sturdy plastic plug. A start-stop button for music control is placed here.
A standard 3.5 mm hole at the top allows you to connect any headphones to your phone. In the center is the microUSB connector. There is also a hole for a "slim" 2-mm Nokia charger.
There is a microphone hole on the bottom, as well as a small indentation that helps to remove the back panel.
The back of the phone is covered with a plastic cover. It is matte, not scratched or dirty. Behaves very well and looks much more practical than glossy panels in other versions. Above, you can see the insert into which the lens of a 2-megapixel camera is inscribed, as well as the speaker hole.
There is a battery inside, next to it there is a compartment for a SIM-card.
Display
The Nokia X2-02 has a 2.2-inch TFT screen with 262K colors. Its resolution is 240x320 pixels.
You cannot change the brightness level manually here, the viewing angles are rather modest. But it is worth remembering the cost of the phone, so that everything falls into place. The phone behaves very well in the sun, the image can be seen normally.
Menu
Signal reception indicators are placed on the desktop cellular network, battery charge, time and date are displayed. There may be lines of widgets and shortcuts, each of which can be assigned desired function choosing among various applications... Among them are: favorite contacts, calendar, note, timer, link bar, search, mail, radio and music, communities, notifications, chat. You can move links across the screen at your discretion, choosing the design that is most convenient for you.
In order to enter the menu, you need to press the center of the navigation key. The right and left soft buttons launch other applications. Initially, they are assigned access to the phone book and shortcut menu. It consists of icons for various applications. You can choose from over 60 functions, adding the ones you want. In this case, the number is unlimited, if you wish, you can add all the links. If you choose more simple kind desktop, then fast access to the functions is carried out by movements of the navigation key in all four directions.
The menu consists of numerous shortcuts. They can be moved around, organizing them as you like. There are several other types of menus: single, list, icons without signatures.
On the screen, you can change the background image, choosing from the number of pre-installed or downloaded yourself. Of course, there is also the possibility of changing the themes; the phone has several installed for a change.
When the screen is locked, no additional information is displayed on it. Pressing the end call key will light up the display and show the time and date. The platform is good and convenient, its main drawback is the lack of full-fledged multitasking. The player and radio are running in the background, but the same browser or twitter cannot be minimized, you will have to restart the program every time.
Phone book
Each contact in the device memory can be assigned up to 5 phone numbers... Additionally, other useful data is recorded: type of number (work, mobile, home, etc.), e-mail, site address, date of birth, address, note, organization, pseudonym, position.
Each contact can be assigned not only a picture, but also an individual melody. Of course, there are fields for the first and last name, the limit is the number of characters: 50 characters for each field, which is quite enough.
After selecting a contact in the phone book, you can perform a number of actions: call, send a message or email, as well as supplement with information. Names are entered by list, name and number, name and picture. Sets a larger font size.
The list can be sorted either by first name or last name of the persons included in it. User groups are created, each of them can be assigned a picture and melody. The phone book search works, which searches by the first letter of the first or last name. Scrolling through the list with names is slow, the phone slows down.
Call log
Each of the lists shows the name or number of the user, as well as the date of the call and the number of the active SIM card. The log shows the total duration of calls. You can send a message to any number or save it to your contacts list (by creating a new one or updating an existing one). The dialed numbers are shown as large characters on the display, they are clearly visible.
The total duration of calls is displayed, and there is also a message counter. The phone has a speakerphone function, during a call it is activated by the right soft key. During a call, the call duration is displayed on the screen. Before making a call, you can set a timer by certain time it will display a user-defined message.
By dialing a number or selecting it in the list of names, you can make a call, you will be asked to select one of the SIM cards. In the settings, the SIM card is set, which by default will be used for calls or sending SMS. You can enter this menu both from the item with the phone settings and by holding the * button, where the symbol of a pair of SIM cards is applied. The voice recorder is turned on to record the conversation.
Posts
The section is dedicated to SMS and MMS messages. Following the trend of recent years, correspondence with a person can be displayed as a single list, forming a dialogue. All messages go to one shared folder.
You can add an audio file, picture or video to any SMS message, which automatically transforms it into MMS. Copying and pasting of text is supported, data from the message can be transferred to the calendar. The font size is changed.
When sending, you can select from phonebook destinations, journal and e-mail numbers, recently used numbers, and send a message selected user.
Working with e-mail is implemented using a built-in application that helps you quickly set up a mailbox on one of the popular mail servers... In my case, Gmail.com and Mail.ru were tested, with which there were no difficulties. Supported automatic loading messages, you can choose between one of three intervals, set the period for receiving mail.
The phone can download letters with attachments, however, there are problems with viewing files, for example, documents - the data display capabilities apply only to graphic images... Supports work with multiple accounts e-mail, POP3, IMAP4, SMTP protocols work. Mail client has basic capabilities, with its help you can write a letter, send a file (a picture from the phone's memory or a photo from a camera).
Camera
The phone has a 2-megapixel module. The camera is launched through the phone menu. The interface is clear and simple. A series of icons are displayed that allow you to access photo and video settings, and switch between photo and video modes.
The camera has a number of settings:
Saving pictures: phone memory or memory card.
Snapshot title: automatically or your own name.
Photo quality: 2M (1600x1200), 1.3M (1280x960) 0.3M (640x480), 0.1M (320x240 pixels).

Audio player The player reads such formats as AAC, AAC +, eAAC +, MP3, MP4, WMA. The playlist can be sorted by genre, artist, album. Playlists are highlighted, and you can also listen to all the tracks in turn. In playback mode, the display shows the album cover, if it was registered in tags, information about the artist, album name and song is displayed, indicating the total length of the song. The player is controlled using the navigation key, it also changes the sound volume.
The shuffle and repeat mode works both for one song and for all. If you minimize the player, information about the music being played can be displayed on the desktop. The 10-scale volume control is enough for a headroom even for noisy environments like the subway. The built-in equalizer offers a selection of ready-made presets as well as manual adjustments.
The phone can be considered as a replacement for a player, the sound is good. It is inconvenient that the music control button does not work when the keyboard is locked, and the volume keys are inactive. This model is very good as a player, so it can be considered as an inexpensive alternative to a separate device. Radio Stereo FM radio operates in the 87.5-108 MHz / 76-90 MHz range. RDS is supported, up to 20 stations can be stored in the phone's memory. They can be saved using automatic search and enter them manually. By minimizing the application, you can see the name of the listening station on the desktop. There is an FM transmitter for streaming music from your phone to an external source. Also, the buyer should like the option that allows you to listen to the radio without connected headphones, using the built-in antenna.
Photo album Photos taken with the built-in camera fall into their own section. "My Photos" will display a set of 4x3 thumbnails showing the pictures stored in the phone. You can arrange a slideshow by choosing one of three possible options transition between pictures and setting the display time in the range from 3 to 10 seconds.
When you click on it, it will open in full screen, after which it will be possible to view the picture in more detail using scaling using a couple of virtual keys. You can also send a photo via MMS, e-mail, Bluetooth.
The "Timeline" shows the frames saved in the phone's memory, sorted by date. Having chosen a certain day, you can see a set of pictures, later they can be enlarged to fill the screen. It differs from "my photos" only in the selection criterion: not all photos are displayed mixed, but sorted by date, which can facilitate the search desired file.
Video The phone supports playback of clips in MPEG-4, H.263, H.264, 3GP. The video library is a list of files, having chosen any one, it can be viewed both vertically and horizontally. Given the small diagonal of the screen, the model is unlikely to be actively used for watching videos. Organizer Calendar You can select the default view: view of the month or day, the day of the start of the week is set, and you can also set automatic deletion records after a certain period of time (after 1 day, week, month), if required.

Monoblock Nokia X2-02 reminds of Nokia X1-01 and X1-00, only it has a different color on the back panel and a better shape of the keyboard. The dimensions of the device are slightly different: 113x50x15 mm, weight 93 g. Due to the slightly curved back panel, the phone fits well in the hand. In addition, the side surfaces have a beveled shape, which contributes to a more comfortable grip. The chubby phone is quite comfortable to carry in jeans or trousers, although it should be noted that other modules get thinner cases. Nokia X2-02 can be of several colors: red, black, blue, orange, purple. Build quality flawlessly, very good. A neatly made device will please you with its solidity, tight fit of parts. Glossy plastic is easily soiled, both the front part and the back panel are quickly covered with fingerprints. A more practical matte material can be found on the sides. It is a simple, slightly rough plastic. There are buttons under the screen. There are a couple of soft-keys, under them are the buttons for receiving and ending a call. The latter can turn off the phone. They are marked with simple and visual icons in the form of red and green handsets. The buttons are made in the form of small flat plates. They have a small move, but they themselves are slippery, not very pleasant. In the center there is a 4-way navigation key with a small and clear stroke. It has raised sides, and the central part is recessed down. It is pressed with a soft click. Pressing the center performs the function of confirming the action. The keyboard is comfortable, 12 separate keys are arranged in four rows. The buttons are puffy, embossed, easy to press. There are no complaints about the convenience of the set, here this issue is solved much better than in the X1-01 and X1-00. The symbols are printed in silver and are clearly visible on a black background. The backlight works fine, everything is clearly visible.
Have Nokia X2-02 TFT-screen with a diagonal of 2.2 inches, which displays 262K colors. Its resolution is 240x320 pixels. You cannot change the brightness level manually here, the viewing angles are rather modest. But it is worth remembering the cost of the phone, so that everything falls into place. The phone behaves very well in the sun, the image can be seen normally. The volume of the supplied BL-5C battery is 1020 mAh. According to the manufacturer, the phone can work from one charge up to 443 hours in standby mode or up to 9.7 hours of talk time.

Buy Nokia phone X2-02 at a low price is available on our website.
Unlike the previous device, the new mobile phone turned out to be not so balanced. About his strong and weaknesses and will be described in this material.
Screen and camera
As in the first, and in the second case, the diagonal of the display is 2.2 inches. Its resolution is 320 pixels by 240 pixels. The number of displayed colors is 65 thousand. This is quite enough for comfortable work on such a device. The type of matrix used is TFT. This technology is already outdated today, but at the time of the release of the device, it was relevant. But the nonsense with the camera turned out. If the predecessor had a 5 megapixel matrix and in this indicator the X2-00 even now surpasses some smartphone models entry level, but Nokia X2-02 already uses 2 megapixels. It is not necessary to expect phenomenal quality from it. There is also the possibility of video recording in the VZHA format. But the quality of the filmed videos also leaves much to be desired. So according to this parameter, the previous model looks more preferable than Nokia X2-02. Reviews of upset fans to take pictures with their phones all over the Internet are another confirmation of this.
Mobile phone memory
Things are not bad with the memory subsystem. The device itself has 64 megabytes integrated. But the user can only use 10 of them maximum. The rest is reserved by the system for its own needs. In any case, you simply cannot do without a memory card. Supports microSD flash drives with a maximum capacity of 32 GB. Together with phone goes 2 GB card. Its volume is quite enough for comfortable work. You can put photos, videos and music on it. If 2 GB is not enough for you, then you will have to additionally purchase a drive for the device.
But what about the case
If the X2-00 had a combined case, made of plastic and metal, then for the new model it was completely made of matte plastic. Therefore, you cannot do without a cover and a sticker on the screen. Otherwise, after a year, after a maximum of 2, you will have to buy new building... The following elements are located on the front side of the device: an earpiece, a screen and a regular telephone keypad. On the back there is a camera and loud speaker... On the right is a slot for installing a second SIM card. On the left, in turn, there is a slot for a memory card and a button for playing MP3 songs. It is worth noting right away one plus of such solutions from the designers of the Finnish company - without turning off the phone, you can replace both the 2nd SIM card and the microSD drive. Now let's figure out how to disassemble Nokia X2-02. If the previous model of the phone had a special latch that opened the back cover, then this phone does not. You just need to gently undermine it from above with your fingernail. Under it is a battery and a slot for installing the first SIM card.
Phone communications
An excellent set of communications from Reviews of satisfied gadget owners on information resources this is confirmed. A round socket is brought out to charge the battery. For connection to a computer, a MicroUSB connector version 2.0 is provided. The last 3.5 mm jack is intended for connecting an external speaker system(speakers or headphones). The phone comes with a mediocre stereo headset. Therefore, lovers of high-quality sound should buy headphones separately. Among the wireless data transmitters, bluetooth version 2.0 can be distinguished. But wi-fi, and GPS are absent in this device. But taking into account the capabilities and positioning of the device, there is nothing to worry about. The existing communication opportunities quite enough for normal, comfortable work on Nokia X2-02. The characteristics in this regard are quite acceptable. Review "Nokia X2-02" will be incomplete if you lose sight of software optimization. According to the developers, if you use the built-in browser to view web pages, you can achieve significant. At the same time, the speed of their loading will increase.
Battery
The phone comes with a 1020 milliampere / hour battery. In this regard, Nokia X2-02 cannot boast of something unusual against the background of similar devices from this manufacturer. The scheme of its installation is usual. They removed the back cover, installed the first SIM card, turned the battery contacts to the contact group of the phone and installed it. If the battery becomes unusable, then it can be replaced with a new one without any problems. But its capacity will be enough with active use for 2-3 days. But this statement is true for a new battery. After a year or two, it will lose its capacity. It will already be enough for a day, a maximum of two. When listening to music, one charge will last for 10 hours of continuous listening. In general, this mobile phone cannot boast of anything special in terms of battery and battery life. But relatively recently, the 1100 was released, which lasted 2 weeks on a single charge without any problems.
Let's summarize
The Nokia X2-02 turned out to be somewhat ambiguous. Among the pluses, it is possible to note the support of 2 SIM cards in alternate switching mode. Otherwise, this phone is worse than its predecessor X2-00. And the camera is worse (2 MP versus 5 MP), and the body is completely plastic, and the battery provides less battery life. If you add complaints about certain "glitches" with the software, then it becomes very bad. And the answer to all these disadvantages, most likely, is hidden behind the name of the producing country. If earlier this Finnish brand was made only in Europe (Finland, Germany, Hungary and Romania), now the main production facilities of Nokia are transferred to India. As a result, the quality deteriorated rapidly. Now such a phone is almost impossible to buy new. Therefore, if you do decide to buy such a gadget, then you will need to try very hard to find it.
