NUU Mobile Announces The Affordable X3: 4G LTE, Quad-Core Processor And An 8MP Camera

NUU Mobile, the relatively new Hong Kong-based smartphone manufacturer, has just announced the budget-friendly X3 smartphone. It’s only the second unlocked 4G LTE-capable handset from the company, and it’s being offered for under $200.

Since the philosophy behind the X3 is to save some money, we aren’t looking at the most feature-rich handset on the market. The X3 has a 4.5-inch qHD display with a 960 x 540 resolution, a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of on-board storage and microSD expansion up to 32GB. 

It also comes with an 8MP rear-facing camera, 2MP front-facing camera and a 2000mAh battery. The device can connect to both AT&T’s and T-Mobile’s networks using LTE bands 2, 4 and 17, and has dual SIM card slots. It’s only running on Android 4.4 KitKat for now, but NUU Mobile says it will get the Lollipop update later this summer.

The X3 will be available in both Black and White color options for $179.99 through BestBuy.com, HSN, Target.com, Amazon, NUUMobile.com among other retailers. The phone will also be available in more than 165 Meijer stores in late May.

Like I said before, the X3 certainly doesn’t offer up the best specs on the market, but it may be a viable option if you need a smartphone that won’t break the bank. Check out the press release below for more information.
