All these phones are targeted towards the budget and entry-level users with a price fitting that point. This phone will come with a tweaked Android interface inside Nokia’s body. Also, all these phones have Dual-SIM support. These phones are targeted towards the developing countries.

All these phones have similar specifications with Nokia XL being the high-end among all three devices. Nokia X & X+ in particular, have all the features in common except the user RAM which are 512 MB and 768 MB respectively. While these figures don’t pop eyes, it is yet left to see how these specs handle the Nokia X UI. On the other hand, Nokia XL has the similar specs to that of Nokia X+ except a 5-inch display and 5 MP of rear camera (with flash) and a 2 MP front-facing camera. Also it packs in a 2000 mAh battery to power the 5-inch display in Nokia XL.
