Nokia X2's Official Price Raised to Rs. 6,579

Nokia's low-end X Series phone, the X2, was first heard of back in April 2010. The phone has now made its official entry to India - five months after its existence was revealed.

The X2 which was supposed to be officially here by June has seen its launch delayed by almost three months. Now that the phone is here, let's take a look at its specs again.

The X2, as evident from the naming scheme, will be positioned below the X3 and is a mid-range handset. It boasts of a 2.2 inch QVGA display, dedicated music keys, dual speakers, Bluetooth 2.1, 3.5mm headset jack, FM radio, Nokia Messaging, Facebook integration and microSD card support. The phone, unlike most other X-Series handsets, runs Nokia's proprietary S40 OS.

The highlight of the phone is its impressive 5 megapixel camera at the rear. This is a rather surprising because the X3, which is positioned above the X2, has a 3.2 megapixel camera.

The X2 was supposed to be priced at around the Rs. 5,000 mark when we first heard of it. However, it's a tad more expansive and has been priced at Rs. 5,999 in India. The phone is officially on sale now.
