Microsoft unveils first phone since Nokia takeover: the Nokia X2
Microsoft is set to release the Nokia X2, its first phone since its takeover of Nokia was completed.
Powered by Android, the phone also has an update to its virtual keyboard, and new camera UI.
“We’ve made lots of changes. Some that are obvious and some that are subtle, but they all lead to a richer, faster and easier experience,” said Yannis Paniaras, head of the mobile phones UX design studio at Microsoft in Beijing.
“We’ve made some improvements to the way the tiles move around on the home screen when you’re resizing or relocating them. It’s a more playful way to personalise.”
Nokia X2 also introduces a home key for simpler navigation, as well as a task manager which allows users to multi-task.
