Low-Cost 5G Connectivity Smartphones

The Nokia X100 Has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 Chip

— November 9, 2021 — Tech
The Nokia X100 smartphone is an affordable new handset that's focused on providing consumers with access to some of today's latest features without having to opt for an expensive flagship alternative.

The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 490 chip that enables 5G connectivity, while users will be able to enjoy the experience on the large 6.67-inch Full HD display along with Nokia OZO audio technology. The handset is paired with a quad-lens camera system on the rear, while a 4,470mAh battery pack works alongside the Android 11 adaptive battery.

The Nokia X100 smartphone will go on sale nationwide at T-Mobile and Metro locations starting on November 19, 2021 at a price point of $252.

HMD Global Vice President for North America Cristian Capelli commented on the new device saying, "The launch of the Nokia X100 is the next step in our carrier expansion and represents our first X-series device made specifically for the needs of the U.S. consumer. This device perfectly balances power with affordability, all while staying true to the durability and reliability Nokia phones are known for.”
