Nokia XL

Mobile World Congress

Nokia wasn’t content with announcing just two Android-powered phones today at Mobile World Congress — CEO Stephen Elop rolled out the oversized Nokia XL as well!

Nokia XL is sporting a 5-inch IPS display. It’ll be available early Q2 for 109 Euros in “growth markets.”

Nokia’s Windows Phone-powered Lumia line is still its flagship product, Elop said here in Barcelona. “The X family serves the fast-growing, affordable smartphone segment,” Elop said. It’ll continue to be priced beneath its Lumia line.

Again, Nokia XL is running an AOSP build of Android (Elop didn’t say what version it’s based off), but it’s all about getting folks into Microsoft’s cloud.
