Nokia 6303 Classic phone: review, description, features and reviews of the owners

It is unlikely that any of the professionals and ordinary buyers could in 2007 to think that the novelty - Nokia 6300 - will be able to become a legend and enjoy an incredible popularity. I must say that to this day the device is in demand.

A little later, after a certain period of time, the company decides to release a remake and gives the public Nokia 6700 and Nokia 6303. And if the first modification is more expensive and updated, then the second one, it can be said, does not differ much from the original version.

Positioning

Apparatus "Nokia 6303" appeared largely due to the fact that its predecessor - Nokia 6300 - was a huge success. That's why the creators had the idea to release a novelty that could become as popular and sold.

Nokia, releasing this model, officially represents it on the market, offering the device at the same cost as its predecessor. However, over time, the new modification completely replaced the previous version. It was something new in the technical world, so it's worth knowing what the reason for this breakthrough is.

Brief characteristics: design, size, management

In comparison with its predecessor, "Nokia 6303" has not such a strict design, it is dominated by calm and measured tones. In phones with different color solutions, the range of colors varies on the back cover, on the edging near the display and on the buttons themselves.

The case of Nokia 6303 can be steel or black (these are the options that come to the electronics market). Over time, the list of colors has greatly expanded, since after getting on the phone the phone was at the peak of popularity. The back panel is made of metal, and even thus the device pleases in the hand, not sliding and not jumping out. The interface of this device is somewhat similar to the Nokia 3600. This is logical, because the design should not be too strict or, conversely, fun. It is, rather, more classic with modern inserts.

The dimensions of the phone: the height is 10.88, the width is 4.62 and the thickness is 1.17 cm. The weight is small, only 96 g. In fact, given that some parts of the panel are made of metal, for such an option such characteristics Almost ideal.

Themes for Nokia 6303 are installed by the creator, but you can download additional ones from the Internet if you want. However, it is necessary to be cautious, since with a large number of topics, the phone begins to behave inadequately: self-shut down and constantly show malfunctioning. Therefore, it is better not to waste your nerves with the injection of new options, for more money will have to be spent on repairing the device. This is most likely due to the phone's software, because the Nokia 6303 firmware is the most common.

Not only the rear part is made of resistant material. Ahead there is a fringing. Externally, the phone seems somewhat thicker than it actually is. Although this can easily be explained by the black color of the case.

On the right is the volume rocker. At the bottom, you can find the charging connector (2 mm) and next, there, for headphones (3.5 mm). The developers initially planned to install in that place an indicator of light, but at the last moment it was decided to abandon it. There is also a slot for the memory card (under the cover of the case). The power button is traditionally located at the top.

In fact, the design of the device is calm, cold-blooded, evoking neutral emotions. Glitter, too bright accents, conspicuous, absent.

Complete phone:

• The apparatus itself;
• Charger;
• USB cable;
• Headset;
• Memory card for 1 GB;
• user's manual.

It is noticeable that the kit does not include as much as we would like, but there is nothing more to add here. Some will consider the absence of a cover as a disadvantage, while others, on the contrary, do not see anything good in such an obligatory accessory.

The headset is rather weak, but this is completely explained by the fact that the model is not musical, and therefore it is not worth waiting for something unprecedented.

For the memory card adapter is not provided, but it is not needed. If, of course, there is no need to reconnect it to the laptop. There is no cloth for wiping the phone. There is also no adapter to the charger. Perhaps this is the right move on the part of the company, because expensive accessories affect the formation of prices.

Screen

The resolution of the display in the Nokia 6303, games on which are displayed normally, is 240x320 pixels. The screen diagonal is 2.2 inches, which is quite normal for a button phone of this type.

The display supports 16 million colors, among them there is a spectrum of juicy and bright colors. The screen is capable of holding 9 text lines, 3 service lines. Depending on the font, the first option can be increased to 16.

When the sunlight hits the display loses its brightness, but everything is perfectly visible.

Keyboard

The Nokia 6303 has a comfortable keyboard, the keys on which are separated, this makes it easier to work with them. It is clear that there is no particularly large space between them, but there is no discomfort.

Buttons light up when the device is in active mode. In the black phone the backlight is blue, in the white - white. In principle, these colors are quite well combined with the design of the device, the designation of the keys can be clearly seen from any angle of view.

The keys have a rounded shape, which provides a softer touch. Their thickness, if compared with the predecessor, decreased by several millimeters.

Accumulator battery

210 minutes during video playback, 140 minutes - recording video, 23 hours - playing melodies, 7 hours - in talk mode. This is how much the Nokia 6303 works. The battery, more detailed technical properties of which will be described below, judging by the characteristics of the manufacturer, it is quite powerful.

Charges the phone for no more than 2 hours, at least until the new one.

Having tested the work of the phone, you can distinguish such characteristics of the battery:

• When watching a video - 192 minutes;
• When browsing the Internet - 192 min;
• When listening to melodies through the headphones - 1900 min;
• When listening to the radio - 1900 min.

That is, you can immediately note that the manufacturer did not lie about the continued operation of the phone without recharging.

Memory

The Nokia 6303 Classic, whose firmware is easily updated, has 64 MB of internal memory available to the user.

The device supports memory cards (no more than 4 GB). In order to install the microSD, you need to remove the back cover, and on the right side edge, install it in the corresponding slot. In the kit to the phone, the seller provides a card for 1 GB.

Radio and music

The Nokia 6303 Classic has a built-in radio that easily accepts all available radio waves. The sound is transmitted well enough, the design is good, easy to operate. After the first activation, the phone itself will offer to find the stations, the list of which can be edited at will. The list includes no more than 20 radio stations.

There are no complaints about the player: the sound is transmitted perfectly, the player interface is intuitively clear. There is also a simple equalizer.

Communications

Bluetooth on Nokia 6303 Classic is installed in version 2.0. The data is transmitted approximately at a speed of 100 Kb / s.

On the bluetooth headset, music is transmitted without interruption, the management of the compositions takes place without any brakes or any other problems.

When connecting a USB cable, you can choose one of 3 modes of synchronization with your computer:

• Data Storage. Allows you to access the phone memory and memory card; In this case, drivers are not needed, since the operating system itself recognizes the device.
• PC Suite. Here you will already need to install the application of the same name on your computer in order to gain access to more personal data: contacts, messages, etc.
• Printing. This mode allows you to immediately print all desired photos.

Data is sent at a speed of 1 MB / s. When connecting to a computer via a USB cable, the battery does not charge.

Camera

The camera of the Nokia 6303 is 3 megapixels. It has autofocus. The video recorder supports basic, normal and high compression of images. Among the functions there are such as ZUM, saving photos on a memory card or in the phone's memory, turning off sound effects, changing brightness, white balance, contrast, etc. There are some banal effects that you can use at your discretion. It is possible to create several pictures at once (up to 3). The self-timer range is 10 seconds. As a rule, it is used to remove yourself.

The camera is designed in such a way that the most successful position of the phone when shooting is horizontal.

The video is recorded in 3GP quality. The duration is chosen by the user himself. The video can be minimal or maximum (until the media memory is full). For the videos, the same effects as the images available are available. When viewing the video has a normal quality, there is little noise, no pixelation occurs. On the computer clip, of course, does not differ in quality, but you can watch. If we take into account that most people need a phone only to call someone, then the camera function here is implemented quite well and hardly will not justify someone's expectations.

Apps

The Nokia 6303 Classic is equipped with standard games. In each country, they are supplemented by a couple of applications that are not available abroad. In Russia are presented to the public: "Converter", "Dimensions", "Opera Mini", Yahoo search engine, etc. It is possible to add other Java-applications, both from the Internet and via USB-cable from a PC. The restriction on their number is not introduced.

There is an application "Maps 1.2", which, in fact, is a simple navigator. The maps can be downloaded from the Internet yourself, some are already downloaded by the manufacturer. However, as practice shows, the application can not help much, and it's useless to use it on the Nokia 6303.

"Maps 1.2" work with Bluetooth GPS, able to determine the location of a person via the Internet. Along with this, the application paves the way for traffic jams by car or public transport. The same program uses new browser technologies.

The phone's platform is updated, as close as possible to the one used on Nokia smartphones. Background modes are not supported here, although the music through the player still works as a task that does not require an obligatory presence in the player itself.

The change of themes is a feature of the Nokia 6303. Each is different in its colors, pattern, and all of them are completely different from each other. Themes are based on Flash, so they support animated images that can be put on the desktop, widgets, battery and signal indicators.

The standby mode can be configured at your own discretion. The main window can contain additional information in the form of shortcuts for applications, notes, reminders, radio and player.

There is a function "Speaking", it is she who will help to make your speech and the interlocutor clearer. This same function will remove unnecessary noise and interference. Voice dialing is not uncommon in phones, and "Nokia 6303" is no exception. The device perfectly "understands" words after passing the procedure for analyzing voice and pronunciation.

Phone autonomy

When the announcement of the Nokia 6303 phone the manufacturer said that it will become the most powerful in terms of battery life among the same phones of the same series. The battery is lithium-in-one; Its capacity is 1050 mAh. In the book on the operation of the phone it is written that the device is capable of operating for 7 hours in the ring mode and 450 hours while in sleep mode.

If you listen to the radio every day, often with someone to talk to, then it works quietly for 3-4 days without recharging.

Competitors

The market has only one device, which is, in fact, the analogue of the Nokia 6303. It's about the Soni Ericsson C510, which has the same technical characteristics. It is released a little earlier than the Nokia announced, which allows you to get an advantage in sales. Heads of Soni decide to start selling their device for six months earlier only because their competitor with the same functions costs several times cheaper. It was this criterion that could be decisive in direct competition.

Results

Summarizing, we can say that the model Nokia 6303 is very interesting among other devices for the same price. For fans of music, a significant advantage is the presence of a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The price of the device in Russia was about 7 thousand rubles for 2007. Now you can buy it twice as cheaply. Competitors have no phone, with the exception of Sony Erricsson C510. The filling of the latter differs little from Nokia, but at a price it goes a little more expensive.

The quality of communication is good, there are no problems when talking. The call is quiet, the sound is quieter than other models of the same company. In noisy places it is unlikely to hear. Vibration is a plus, it's powerful enough.

Still, the Nokia 6303, the price of which became decisive in its sales, did not become so much-bought as the Nokia 6300. But this does not mean that the device is bad, even vice versa.

The strength of this device can hardly be called design, but, as they say, the taste and color. Even if the appearance repels, do not immediately throw it into the background when choosing a phone. He sits comfortably in his hand; Having a small weight and a comfortable form of the body, well climbs into the pocket without falling out of it.

All applications and games work without failures, in this respect the phone deserved a solid five. That is why he had every chance to oust his predecessor from the market and become the best in his price category.
