Nokia X2-05, in-depth analysis, review and pics.
The Finnish firm Nokia has never failed to go for entry-level terminals. So no wonder they come out devices with Symbian , of course, willing to meet the needs of those who are looking for a simple mobile phone, but managed. This is the case of the new Nokia X2-05, a device that was introduced yesterday and it has everything you need to call, send messages and even occasionally connect. The phone does not appeal to users who are positioned as more demanding, but no doubt will delight those looking complications. The Nokia X2-05 is made for them.
As you have seen, the Nokia X2-05 is a phone that stands out for its design, since it retains the curved appearance and finish of some mid-range devices. It will be available for customers from the end of this year, so it can become a good alternative for gifts before Christmas arrives. It has great features, but has a fair and basic sheet for those who do not need to take great snapshots, spend all day connected to the Internet or playing multimedia content high. Here, we present a thorough analysis of the new Nokia X2-03.
Design and Display
It is clear that one of the most interesting contributions of this terminal, is undoubtedly that of design. You will see the Nokia X2-05, as said earlier, stands very much for their finishes. Despite having very rectangular edges, the device has a curved base that makes it particularly ergonomic. Its matte finish gives it a sleek look and feel much nicer. Available measures 113 x 50 x 15 mm and a weight of 87.8 grams, battery included. Although it is a little wider than usual, obvious that it is a sea of mobile light. We could say that their few functions will not weigh at all. And this, for some users, is appreciated.
The screen is rather small dimensions, since the dimensions of the phone so require. This is a 2.2-inch TFT panel with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. As you can imagine, there is a touch device, so that you can use the alphanumeric keypad that is attached to the bottom of the screen. It also incorporates buttons to hang and take down calls, in addition to the central button that will allow us to access the main menu options. The phone will be released in four different color combinations in black, gray, white and red. Availability, as always, depend on the units with warehouse operators.
Connectivity
The Nokia X2-05 is a phone that is specially prepared for connectivity. In fact, it is far preferable for users who want to remain connected to the Internet, chatting or writing in your favorite social networks. Nothing is further from the truth. The phone that Nokia has presented is designed for those who want to connect to the Internet in a timely manner.
In the words of its data sheet, the device operates on GSM / EDGE 900/1800. The guarantees are limited. In fact, the phone is not compatible with networks 3G , which means giving up broadband Internet, which means navigating a more agile way through pages and can upload content to a higher speed. If you do not need this feature, the Nokia X2-05 has just become a good choice for you. Too bad you can not access wireless networks Wi-Fi , which would offset the lack of 3G. However, the phone is compatible with the technology Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP and EDR, which will help you share content between devices.
In point of external connections, the Nokia X2-05 incorporates a 3.5 mm output comfortable headphone that will serve to quiet music or even, to amplify with discrete speakers. In addition, the phone also features a microSD card slot that will be of great use to expand the internal user memory. Finally, you will see that also has a microUSB 2.0 input and sync to transfer content from PC to phone, but also to charge the phone battery, if you do not have the compatible charger handy.
Camera and multimedia
The Nokia X2-05 does not stand out at all by the properties of your camera. This means that this is a phone designed for those who do not usually take photos from your mobile. In any case, know that the camera lets you take pictures in VGA resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. Thus, it must be said that the use of the camera is purely testimonial, but if you like taking photos of good quality you will want to take the compact camera or pocket premium, if you're fan art of the snapshot. As indicated in the data sheet, the camera offers the ability to record video. Negative point.
And we go for the multimedia section. The truth is that the screen is not very suitable for reproducing high-quality multimedia content. See, however, that the Nokia X2-05 is perfectly capable of playing music files, audio and video in the main formats supported: MP3, MP4, H.263 and AAC +. Finally, I must say that you can connect to the FM radio to switch to the content you have stored in phone memory or card.
Memory and operating system
As always in these cases, the phone's internal memory is rather limited. You will see that barely reaches the 64 MB, so if you want to get all the phone functions will be expanded with a microSD memory card. You can enter it into the slot that the phone has enabled to extend the phone's ability to 32 GB, which is a fairly loose for maximum user who will use this terminal. So you can save songs and listen wherever you go, for example.
Far from introducing the latest innovations that are expected for Nokia with Microsoft Windows Phone 7, the phone will still have the standard operating system for entry-level phones Nokia catalog. We refer to Symbian S40, a well known and familiar interface for users who often use such phones.
Battery and availability
The Nokia X2-05 incorporates a lithium ion battery with a capacity of 800 milliampere very well allow us to leverage the features of the device for a reasonable time. For now, Nokia has published balances are quite positive. You will see that the phone can support up to 7.25 hours of talk time and up to 643 hours at rest. If you love playing music, you'll see that the phone can support up to 20 hours music playback. However, your best option is to do the checks yourself, taking into account the functions that you use the phone. Clearly, the battery performance depends on you.
As I said earlier, the Nokia X2-05 will be released in the European market later this year, so that soon you may purchase, in both free and subsidized by the operators. At this point, the price is still unknown who will have the device, but is expected to be quite economical due to its technical performance.
