Nokia X2 review: Video

Considering the poor performance of the camera, we weren't expecting much from the video either. The Nokia X2 records video in the now dated 3GP format. Though videos only record at 20 frames per second, the result is actually pretty smooth.

One of our biggest gripes with the X2's video capability is that you can only output to a maximum resolution of 320 x 240. This resolution is fine for viewing on the handset itself, but when exported to a computer or uploaded to YouTube and the like, video either appears in a tiny window or stretched beyond recognition.
