Nokia is not sitting idle (Can it be afforded?), waiting for Redmond to bring some rejuvenating magic for the Finnish firm. Nokia Beta Labs is now offering Xpress Internet (Beta) browser for its Lumia series. The new browser is based on Nokia's cloud-based Xpress platform and optimizes the content for a better experience and lower data usage using some complex data compression algorithms. It compresses data by up to 85% (even up to 90%) and offers several tools for controlling your data usage and saving battery life.
Easy Data usage monitoring and the option to save pages for offline viewing helps control the usage. What if you just found a must-watch video but care for your already high data usage? The browser offers a wonderful solution to this. It allows you to save videos directly to SkyDrive with just one click so that you can download and view them later when you are connected using WiFi. Another decent feature called Magazine allows you to add sites with feeds to your collection so that you can view all the feeds in a user-friendly magazine layout. You can also add your favorite websites to the QuickLinks screen as tiles for quick access.
Feel like searching more on the Internet about what you are reading on your Xpress Browser?
Just tap that word and it will allow you to swipe through contextual search results from Wikipedia, Bing and YouTube. In case you are not comfortable with the original language of the webpage, just tap on the Translate To option in the app menu and select from one of the 10 currently available languages.
Its yet another attempt from Nokia to keep its Lumia users happy. The efforts and the results so far are appreciable. Lets see how the new browser performs (saves data and money as it claims) when used for over a month.
The browser is a must have app if you are holding a Lumia phone. Have you tried the new Xpress Internet browser yet?
