Nokia X Android smartphone with dual sim to arrive in India on March 10 for Rs 8,500

Nokia’s Android smartphone, the Nokia X will be available in India on 15 March and is priced at Rs 8,500. The smartphone is already listed online on The Mobile Store’s website . Currently the date and the price of the smartphone have been removed from the online site.

Nokia had announced three Android smartphones as part of the X series at the Mobile World Congress last month. The devices will be known as the X, X+ and XL and Nokia had said at the time of the launch that the smartphones would be available ‘very soon’ in India. Nokia also said that the Nokia X would start retailing for 89 euros (approx Rs 7,600), the X+ for 99 euros (approx Rs 8,400) and would hit stores in Q2 this year.

Nokia X and X+ have four-inch screens, while the Nokia XL has a 5-inch phone. The Nokia X and X+ feature 4-inch displays with a 800×480 pixel resolution. Nokia did not announce the chipsets on stage, but both phones have a Snapdragon S4 SoC with a dual-core processor clocked at 1GHz.

There’s 512MB of RAM on the Nokia X, while the X+ gets 768MB of RAM. Both have 4GB internal storage and the ability to take in micro SD cards up to 32GB in capacity.

The camera however, is a disappointing 3-megapixel on the rear and there’s no front-facing camera. Both phones have a 1500 mAh battery, rated for around 13 hours of talk time on 2G and 17 days standby time. In terms of connectivity, the X and X+ have dual SIM slots, 3G cellular data, Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0.   The Nokia X is available in its Black, Green, Cyan, Yellow, Red, and White colour variants.

Nokia XL has 768MB RAM, 5MP auto-focus camera with LED flash on the back and 2MP front camera. It also has a Snapdragon S4 processor.

The phones run Android, although Nokia has tied up the login and app data to Microsoft’s cloud services. The phones run a version of Android Open Source Project, with access to sideloading of apps, third-party app stores and Nokia’s own store.

Users will get Skype, Outlook and OneDrive on these phones, while search is powered by Bing. Users will also get one month of free Skype calls to mobiles and landlines when they purchase the Nokia X.

The Return of Trump: What India's Economy and Job Market Can Expect

Donald Trump has made a comeback, winning the U.S. presidential election once again. With his return to the White House, there are many questions about how his policies will impact India's economy, especially regarding U.S.-based jobs and trade relations. Trump's previous tenure was characterized by his "America First" agenda, which significantly influenced global trade, immigration, and outsourcing dynamics. In this blog, we explore the potential advantages and challenges India may face under Trump's renewed leadership. 1. H-1B Visa and Immigration Policies: A Renewed Challenge During his previous term, Trump tightened immigration rules, especially concerning the H-1B visa program. This program is crucial for India's IT sector, which relies on sending skilled professionals to the U.S. What We Can Expect : Stricter Visa Norms : Trump's administration is likely to continue enforcing strict H-1B visa policies. This could mean increased scrutiny, higher rejec

Navigating the Depths: Understanding, Treating, and Preventing Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a critical medical condition that demands a comprehensive exploration of its intricacies. In this blog post, we will delve into the causes, diagnostic procedures, treatment options, and preventative strategies to shed light on this often life-threatening occurrence. Unveiling the Causes of Pulmonary Embolism :  1. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): PE often originates from deep vein thrombosis, where blood clots in the deep veins, typically in the legs, can break loose and travel to the lungs.  2. Surgical Procedures and Trauma: Surgery and traumatic injuries can elevate the risk of clot formation, especially during periods of immobilization in the recovery phase. 3. Lifestyle Factors: Obesity, smoking, and sedentary habits contribute to a pro-thrombotic state, increasing the likelihood of DVT and subsequent PE. 4. Genetic and Hormonal Factors: Inherited conditions affecting blood clotting, hormonal contraceptives, and pregnancy can predispose individuals to pulmona

The State of Quantum Computing in 2024: Where Are We Now?

  Quantum computing is one of the most exciting and rapidly advancing fields in technology today. As we step into 2024, it’s clear that quantum computing is no longer a distant dream but a rapidly evolving reality. However, the journey from theoretical models to practical applications is still ongoing. So, where do we stand with quantum computing today? Let’s explore the current landscape, the breakthroughs, and what lies ahead. 1. The Hardware Frontier: Scaling Up Qubits One of the most critical aspects of quantum computing is the hardware itself. Unlike classical computers, which use bits to represent data as 0s and 1s, quantum computers use  qubits  that can exist in multiple states simultaneously, thanks to the principles of  superposition  and  entanglement . Recent Hardware Advancements IBM  remains a leader in quantum hardware, having recently introduced its new  “Condor” quantum processor , which boasts over  1,121 qubits . This is a significant leap from their earlier processo

Embracing the AI Revolution: Redefining Software Development

 In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, a seismic shift is underway—a revolution driven by the fusion of artificial intelligence (AI) and software development. Envisioning this future is not just about imagining possibilities but understanding the profound impact it will have on how we create, innovate, and interact with technology. A Journey Through Programming Languages To appreciate the transformative potential of AI in software development, let's take a moment to reflect on the historical evolution of programming languages—the bedrock upon which modern computing is built. 1. Machine Language : In the early days of computing, programmers communicated with machines through raw binary instructions—machine language. This rudimentary form of programming was laborious and error-prone, requiring an intimate understanding of the computer's architecture. 2. Assembly Language : The introduction of assembly language provided a symbolic representation of machine language instruc
