The Xperia E lasted as long as our review smartphone (9 hours 55 minutes). The Nokia X shut down about 10 hours later, which is longer than the Z4 Duo (8 hours 18 minutes) or the Y530 (8 hours 3 minutes). A script then opens a new website every 40 seconds. While this is a good result, the Y530 did last an hour longer.įor the more realistic WLAN test, we set the display brightness to about 150 nits and deactivate all components except Wi-Fi. With the tool Stability Test active, the phone kept running for 2 hours and 30 minutes before it shut down. For the minimum battery life, we max out the display brightness and activate everything that can be activated. The smartphone lasted for about 17 hours and 30 minutes. With Wi-Fi active, a script simulates reading a book in a browser window.
To establish the maximum run time, we turn down the display brightness and deactivate most other components. The Liquid Z4 (1630 mAh) as well as the Ascend Y530 (1750 mAh) have more powerful hardware, so at the end they are quite comparable. The competitors feature batteries with larger capacities. The Nokia X ships with a 1500 mAh lithium-ion battery.
With an MSRP starting at 159 Euros (~$215), this particular model is a bit more expensive than the other ones we have mentioned.
The first Windows Phone with two SIM-card slots is the Lumia 630, which was released not that long ago. The Lumia 520 (starting at 105 Euros / ~$143) only has one SIM-card slot, but appeals with its attractive price-to-performance ratio. This segment of the market is highly contested: in addition to the Acer Liquid Z4 Duo (starting at 99 Euros / ~$135), the Huawei Ascend Y530 (starting at 110 Euros / ~$150), there's also Sony's Xperia E Dual (starting at 88 Euros / ~$120). The user should, at least according to Microsoft's product psychology, later transition to a Lumia model.īecause of the price bracket and feature set, the Nokia X, which retails for around 100 Euros (~$135), should be considered an entry-level smartphone. The design is supposed to get buyers used to the tile interface Microsoft uses for their Windows Phone as well as ease the transition into the world of smartphones. Although this particular smartphone was developed for emerging markets like China and India, it is now making its way to Europe and North America as well. The series - in addition to the X+ and XL - was introduced during the Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona. The colorful phone can be purchased in either blue, green, red, yellow, white or black. The Nokia X is a compact smartphone with dual-SIM technology. For the original German review, see here.
