this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by Dollar Shave Club what's up everyone John wrench from TechnoBuffalo here I've got in my hand two seeming oxymoron this is the jumbo shrimp of phones this is the nokia X which is a Nokia phone running Android got the dual SIM variant right here really excited take a look at this sort of a entry level type phone at a low price but offers a lot of features so go ahead open it up and take a first look so here is the box for the Nokia X it's teeny it's tiny as is the phone itself all kinds of specs written on it but we don't need to worry about that cuz I will tell you all about them so don't judge this phone by the super phones backstage you see ones in the galaxy s5 of the world this is under 200 bucks off contract you can probably find it for about a hundred and twenty depending on where you look so it offers a lot and sort of a teeny tiny little package and it's running Android which seems crazy to me so pull that one off I have not a chance to see this phone yet or even check out what Nokia skinned version of Android looks like so out of the box you have support for Google Play but it's Android you could side load the suckers on pretty easily here is the phone it feels like the Lumia device it's got that sort of nice plastic built toilet this feels certainly a little bit on the ha lower side than perhaps we've seen with other Lumia phones push up to the side for a quick second and so you'd also were going to have inside of the box we've got a cardboard thing got some nokia X things and language I can't understand we've got a pair of headphones with the inline mic on it and they are red we've got a charger which connects to microUSB and we've got a battery so that's probably why I felt Hollow because the better was in there I'm used to Nokia I'm just doing built-in batteries let's go ahead and pop the battery into this guy and turn on the phone so the old back just comes off we got two SIM card slots here which is really cool it also it's gonna give you two dialers on there so if you're traveling internationally you want one local and one your regular SIM it's kind of a nice option I've really had a chance to check out that many dual SIM type devices so I'm really excited to take a look at this guy I will go ahead and pop in the battery to fifteen hundred million power battery and then I'll turn it on and I'll walk you through all the specs plastic just goes right back on and I will assume that it probably doesn't feel as hollow as I originally thought and it doesn't actually feels way better so that's why this is a live unboxing and first impressions we'll go ahead and power it on I'll do a quick tour of the device on the right hand side you've got your volume up and down you got your power lock button you could see it so we're turning on right there nothing on the left hand side charging in sync port on the bottom top there is your headphone jack and we've got a camera on the back which is two megapixel but you'll notice what it's missing is a camera on the front so it's a 4-inch display right here which means it's 800 by 480 it's got a 233 PPI and there's no Kia's familiar ringtone it's an IPS LCD in case you're wondering being powered by a 1 gigahertz Snapdragon dual-core processor 512 megabytes to ram and 4 gigs of storage sort of AC would say modern specs for early 2013 4 gigs of storage in side of it does have external storage options though microSD up to 32 gigabytes no NFC here at all unfortunately but you know kind of when you expect well go ahead and go continue and go through the whole setup process and see what it looks like alright so we got this guy all powered on let me pull off the plastic here and get that whooshing noise hopefully that I love boom there we go so you've got one button here you don't know sort of the three typical Android buttons wants to give this folder a name but I don't want to give that folder name it will forever remain a nameless so it looks sort of similar to Windows Phone you got kind of a tile esque interface you just keep scrolling down you can see where all your apps you're going to live you don't have sort of an app tray you can pull down and get so a quick view of your settings right there and I think that you can also scroll up to get some information it's kind of standard stuff here let's take a quick look we've got two sim on top so you can see what obviously both always gonna look like you'll have to dialers to drilling if you put in both sims let's see what the camera UI looks like here I'm super exploring this for the first time it looks very typical Nokia's to have a quick picture but the box and frame feel auto focus for us and snap yes so that could be Ansel Adams with this guy but it does seem to work if we wanna arrange things we can drag them around and you see that they're all sort of ranged and tiles and looks very familiar to Windows Phone although it's funny as you move it you can see there's a trail it's kind of hard time keeping up with what I'm doing so that's something I've never seen before that's definitely a thing that happened if we go ahead and hold it down you can resize it if you want exactly like you can on a Windows Phone in fact the arrows I look exactly the same if you hold it out again you get two icons here you can select one you can search choose a widget if you want so you can see what's here at least built in instead his Android base you can have those widgets in fact that one looks like it was apes directly out of Android including a sort of the font color there as well the other one will just put it inside of a folder go ahead and go home it will say it's kind of frustrating a bit annoying to navigate Android with just a single home button but it's there if you hold it down you don't get anything if you double tap it there you go tapping ones are go to let's go in the fast lane nothing's gonna happen though if you're gonna double tap this thing go ahead and jump at the setting see what that looks like here this looks like very typical Android which is very still strange to see on a Nokia device to go into a bat phone we are running I don't get Telus version of Android already nokia software platform 1.0 so are you sure which version of Android this thing is based on a very interesting phone looking forward taking a look at it and putting it through a bit more of spaces and seeing how it performs it's weird a hybrid of Android and Windows Phone it's like a low-cost Franken phone but I like to hear your thoughts if you guys think it's worthwhile not worthwhile you know something you'd ever pick up why'd you pick it up I can see why travelers and I want this but leave your comments right down below but you know worlds are very crowded Android phones and a lot of good low-cost Android options not sure why this would be the right one to get if you pull down you can also do a search I discovered so that's kind of neat let me take a quick second to think our friends over all good people at Dollar Shave Club look this face clearly I hate shaving it's mostly because buying razors kind of blows you got to go to the store you got a gas the manager with the zits for the key to a plastic razor thing then you got to shell out just crazy buck for some asinine shave tech that you probably don't need my razor
