- Video Player All Format - XPlayer Android latest 2.1.7.3 APK Download and Install. Support ALL video formats, 4K & HD, subtitle, Chromecast, Background Play, etc.
- Strong Compression. The Xvid codec compresses video files to make them smaller. It can compress video at a ratio of 200:1 or more compared to uncompressed video. This makes transmitting the video over a network speedy or saves you a lot of space on your computer's hard disk.
Photo gallery and file browser go their separate ways
The S40 Gallery app used to try being too many things at once and being a photo gallery wasn’t among its strong points. Now, there’s a separate icon in the main menu – Photos, which serves the one and only purpose of viewing the photos and videos on your phone.
The functionality is pretty much the same, but at least the Photo gallery gets rid of the cruft of file managing features and leaves only the image-related stuff in.
The Photos app is now a proper gallery
The Photos app on the Nokia X2 offers only a single viewing mode, displaying a grid of 12 pictures on the screen. You can switch to landscape mode from the menu though – it makes better use of the screen real estate when you open a photo (there are black bars in portrait mode).
Viewing a single photo
Zooming in on a single picture is pretty comfortable with the zoom in and out shortcuts placed on the middle and right soft keys. It’s also fast and relatively smooth, even for 5MP images.
Timeline view
You can organize photos into albums, view them in a timeline (they are ordered by the date they were taken) and of course you can set up a slide show.
As for the regular Gallery app, it’s still here – but it’s hidden in the Applications menu. It’s quite a capable file manager, especially for a feature phone. It can manage folders and files – both one by one and in bulk.
The regular gallery
A good music player
The music player of the Nokia X2 has decent looks and a solid set of features. It has great all-round functionality, including album art, and a fair number of formats are supported.
The music player is controlled either via the dedicated touch keys or the D-pad. Songs can be filtered by artist, album and genre. The player handles AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, MP3, WMA, AMR-NB. Naturally the A2DP profile is supported, allowing the use of stereo Bluetooth earphones.
The music player does the job
As usual, the artist and title of the currently playing song are shown on the homescreen. They appear in the Radio and music area on the homescreen so they need to be enabled in the Homescreen mode settings for the info to be displayed.
Equalizer • Stereo widening • homescreen
The music player has an equalizer with presets and two customizable settings along with Stereo widening.
Of course, the Nokia X2 has another feature to enhance its music performance besides the dedicated keys – the stereo speakers. They are set wide apart and are quite loud – no portable speakers needed with the X2.
FM radio has RDS and built-in antenna
An alternative to the preloaded content on X2 is the FM radio. It matches the music player interface and covers all basic functions. The great thing here is that it has a very sensitive built-in antenna – no need to plug in the headphones for the radio to work.

The FM radio interface
RDS support is available and you can make the handset search and save all available stations in your area. RDS info and frequency appear on the homescreen, much like with the music player.
Video player is pretty basic
Unlike music playback, video is not the Nokia X2’s strong suit – the small, low-res, 4:3 screen rules out regular use as a dedicated video player.
It’s not uncommon for feature phones to include DivX/XviD support, but the X2 supports only MP4 and 3GP. Those are good enough for casual viewing, we guess.
X2 Video Player Download
The Nokia X2 hardly suited for watching video clips
Videos can be played in fullscreen mode, fast-forwarded or rewound and that’s that.
There are reports of the X2 hanging during video playback – we couldn’t replicate it, but judging by the number of complaints it’s a relatively common problem. Nokia’s R&D department is working on the problem, which is reportedly related to some memory cards.
Audio quality is great
Nokia X2 is one of the quieter phones we have recorded in our audio quality test. However it makes up for that with rather clean output both with and without headphones attached.
The frequency response is great on both occasions perfect and so are the noise level and the dynamic range. Distortions are well kept under control and despite the stereo crosstalk increasing when headphones come into play, it still remains perfectly tolerable.
Here go the results so you can compare it to some of the other handsets we have tested.

Multimedia
The multimedia department has never been in the limelight on S40. The recently added new gallery app – Photos – is preinstalled on the X2-01, so managing your image files is hassle-free. You can still find the old Gallery app hidden in the Application menu, which also doubles as a file manager.
The Photos app host the camera, the gallery and the video player
You shouldn’t expect miracles from the music and video players either. The Music app hardly looks the part, but the audio codec support saves the day: AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, MP3, WMA, AMR-NB are among the supported file formats.
Thanks to the 3.5mm audio jack you’re not stuck with the poor prebundled headset and can use your favorite headphones instead.
The Music player
The FM radio works fine, using the cable headset as antenna.
Good audio quality
All the readings of the Nokia X2-01 are great if you use it as an audio source for an external amplifier (a car or home stereo). When you plug in the headphones, the intermodulation distortion and stereo crosstalk suffer, but the overall result still remains good.Test | Frequency response | Noise level | Dynamic range | THD | IMD + Noise | Stereo crosstalk |

The video player is quite limited as usual, able to playing only some low-res mp4 and 3gp videos.

Let’s take a look at the camera. It’s only a VGA unit with support for QVGA videos @ 24fps. The interface is quite basic, with very few settings available.

Here are a few camera samples. We're not really going to comment those as they are as bad as they get. We publish those just for reference.
