After Nokia E6, Nokia now brings the Symbian mobile phone again Anna. This time wearing Full Touch Screen models, namely Nokia X7-00. Smartphone worth around 500 USD has main features as follows: body with a touch of stainless steel, 4-inch QHD AMOLED screen (640x360), 8MP camera, HD video capture and playback, and WiFi.
Design and Body
With a weight of 146 grams this phone quite heavy for the size of today's smartphones. But with the back of the stainless steel casing, heavy as it is not necessarily a problem, because your smartphone will look quite exclusive and expensive. The front is glossy black plastic, it is very common on touch screen phones. The shape is similar to the Nokia N8 with the corners slightly curved. On the arches is there something memorable loudspeaker. Indeed, not all of the 4 holes that are the loudspeaker, only two on the right side. In front there is only the Menu button only. On the left is the micro SD slot and SIM card, while the right side are the volume keys and camera. Behind is a 8MP camera with dual flash. Micro SD slot and 3.5 mm audio jack at the very top of the phone. SIM Card slot and a micro SD slot is unique, can be removed from the phone body. But it is quite risky if the slot is lost.
Screen
X7 large screen, 4 inches, but used only QHD resolution 640x360 pixels alias, but Android smartphone or Windows Phone sailing surrounding average 4 inches already on the size of the WVGA screen (800x480 pixels). So about the sharpness of the screen with another defeat. Even less with the Nokia E6 resolution of 640x480 pixels in a 2:36-inch screen. If it's color, may be pitted, because it uses AMOLED display. Though of course still less than the latest AMOLED its kind Clear Black AMOLED Nokia and Samsung Super AMOLED her. So although the resolution is less bulky, but the screen quality is quite good and comfortable view. Disadvantages resolution is only visible if you look closely only. Viewed from the angle of vision, remain clear, because it's only natural characteristics of the LED screen.
Inter face almost the same as the Nokia E6. there are 3 on the homescreen the Home screen, each using a different wallpaper. Homescreen can be added to five pieces. Screen transition quite smooth, sometimes a little lag, but it is fading effect when changing the wallpaper. Widgets can be added but the number was limited. In these circumstances the notification bar on the homescreen in the upper right.
The main menu of this phone black background with icons arranged 4 columns and 3 rows. You can add folders and organize the menu structure at will. The main menu can be displayed in list format. Other arrangements are the themes and screen savers. To see which applications are running you can press the Home button for a few moments. If there is an application that runs in the background then there will be signs in the relevant application icon. Here there is a notification bar at the bottom center. That can be personalized is the size of fonts, themes, and screen savers.
Camera
Such as E6 and C6-01, Nokia X7 wear an 8 megapixel camera that is equipped with dual LED flash. But again there is no autofocus that complement the phone. Means X7 is a phone with a camera fixed focus. For long distance shooting or scene may not be a problem, but to shoot macro close-let alone mode, it will somewhat blur the result. Features available include: Scene Modes, Face Detection, Grid, Color Tone, White balance, exposure, ISO, Contrast, Sharpness.
The camera is quite good results, results in low light conditions is quite good, especially with the help of a dual LED flash. But the lack of autofocus makes it less good when you take an object at close range. Take a look at photos of plants below. Looks a bit blurry is not it? One photo will produce more than 1MB file.
Video Recorder
For video recording mode to 720p HD resolution. Features: Scene modes, white balance, color tone, exposure, video stabilization and storage location through GPS.
Video recordings is quite good. Indeed there is no autofocus facility, but to fix the focus of the video alone is enough. The results were not broken, clear and sharp. Video duration of 20 seconds produces a file of 23.4MB. More video bitrate of 9000kbps with a framerate of 25 frames per second.
Photogallery
Photo gallery photo mixing with existing video on mobile phones. Besides it can be seen in fashion album / folder. Pinch and zoom can not be used for zooming, instead you can use the volume buttons. Photos can be sent using MMS, Email, and Bluetooth. There is already a fairly comprehensive editing program, here you can rotate, crop, resize, effects, frames and others.
Video Player
File. Mp4 HD resolution with a bitrate of these can be played on this phone. For example congenital videos, trailers with a bitrate 5000kbps Transformers 3 can run smoothly. File. Avi divx and xvid format can be played smoothly.
Music Player
The music player the Nokia X7 look attractive with cover flow. The division of the usual categories of artists and albums, playlists, genres, and podcasts. Various standard equalizer options complement the music player such as bass booster, classical, jazz, pop, rock. In addition there is a stereo balance left / right, Loudness and stereo widening. The sound quality from the loudspeaker is quite loud, nuanced treble and good enough for the size of the phone. Besides the music player, FM radio is also equip the phone. FM radio can only be enjoyed by adding a 3.5mm headset. At first, all the frequencies that can be captured and stored directly on the scan.
Connectivity
This phone runs on the HSDPA network, GSM, GPRS, EDGE. Then the local connectivity is a-GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, WiFi (802.11 b / g / n). Then the phone can do the USB on the Go, with a cable that is included in the package, so you only need to plug the flash disk only. We tried it and it can be read, just pretty slow compared to reading memory cards, obviously, but certainly enough for emergencies.
Web Browsers
Maximum pages that can be opened using the default browser of this phone is 3 pieces. Performance is not too impressive, especially if you open a site fullsite, the phone will feel heavy, sometimes even until the freeze. In contrast to the photo gallery here you can use the pinch and zoom. Arrangements of standards such as history, cache, cookies, javascript must exist in this browser.
Battery Life
Nokia Battery X7 using Li-Ion type with a relatively small size for a 4 inch screen, which is 1200 mAh. But as is known AMOLED quite power efficient. So most will not survive a day with heavy usage.
Conclusion
With the price of 4.2 million, this phone compete with Android phones 1GHz processor. 680 MHz processor, although the operating system used is different, but highly visible performance of X7 is less good. Especially when you open the full site on the web browser default. The camera resolution is good and great, but unfortunately fixed focus. The advantage there is in a stylish and luxurious design with quality ingredients.
Plus:
- Stylish design with quality materials
- Screen AMOLED used good
- Video recording good results
Minus:
- Browser slow
- A virtual QWERTY keyboard is less comfortable to use
- The camera no autofocus
