"Nokia C7": characteristics of the phone and reviews

"Nokia C7 00", the characteristics of which will be disassembled in this article, users are simply called "Nokia C7". This smartphone in the line of devices "Nokia" is given a special place. In fact, this is the second smartphone of the company, which operates on the basis of the Symbian operating system.

The device has a lower cost compared to the Nokia N8, and therefore the demand for it is expected to be much larger than the first smartphone with Symbian. Comparing these two models, you will not find any significant differences in performance and filling in general, but the phone case is different, and the price is lower. That's due to this sales of the model and are expected to be much more promising.

The manufacturer positions the device as a touch phone, which is suitable for everyday use.

Design

Appearance - that's what is one of the trumps of "Nokia C7". The characteristics given by the smartphone users, says that the move with an unusual design was a success. This mixture of the company's typical design and Korean design is attractive enough, there's nothing more to say.

Having looked at the photo of the smartphone, you are unlikely to understand what it's about. In fact, from the first seconds of real work with the device it becomes clear that in the hand it lies comfortably and reliably.

Dimensions

The size of the "Nokia C7", whose performance will be listed several points below, in all three planes gives the following picture: the height of the smartphone is 117.3 mm, width - 56.8 mm, and thickness - 10.5 mm. Well, the thickness of the apparatus was the cause of constant disputes. On the one hand, it is not so big, but on the other - to a thin smartphone the device is still far away. However, even with such dimensions, the phone, as mentioned earlier, lies in the hand comfortably and reliably, when used it does not cause any problems to the owner.

Color Solutions

On the market this smartphone is available in three colors. The first is silvery, the second is brownish-red, the third is dark gray. In all color solutions, the appearance of the device is favorably highlighted by the Nokia S7. The characteristic is that most buyers buy red-brown devices for girls. However, there are universal options. For example, "Nokia C7" black, which will be an excellent choice for any user, regardless of gender and age.

A look from all sides

The front panel holds the front camera, with which you can make video calls. Near it are sensors, including - approximation and illumination.

Using the keys located on the front face, you can make a call, and also cancel it. In addition, there is also a menu button. The keys are made mechanical, which is an obvious advantage of the device.

On the right panel there is a phone lock lever, as well as buttons for adjusting the volume of the sound modes and the volume of the music being played, and controlling the camera.

Traditionally, on the upper side there is a socket for a 3.5 mm wired headset, as well as a MicroUSB type connector. On the right side panel there is an input for the charger.

On the back of the device is a speaker that provides a speakerphone. Next to it is the camera module (which, by the way, has a resolution of 8 megapixels), as well as a LED flash. Unfortunately, there is no autofocus on the camera "Nokia S7". The characteristic given by the manufacturer confirms this fact. However, we will talk about the camera later, and now we are talking about design.

If you remove the back cover, you can immediately notice the SIM card slot. The user can always replace the card without resorting to removing the battery. But even then the phone will automatically restart. It is because of this difference between the ways of replacing SIM-cards as such is not observed.

Assembly

This parameter does not involve long conversations. The device is assembled qualitatively, without any problems. If the phone is placed frequently downward, this element will be erased. Rather, not the speaker himself, but his design. No manufacturer commented on the speaker's performance, so we will assume that this is just a "military secret".

Display

The screen resolution of this device is 640 x 360 pixels. The diagonal of the display is 3.5 inches. The display is covered with glass. Manufacturing technologies allow the screen to produce 16 million colors, which is the norm today.

Between the screens of the first and second smartphones on Symbian (we are talking, respectively, about N8 and C7), there are no differences. All the same type AMOLED, all the same screen vendor (Samsung), all the same color rendition. The production of this display did not use Clear Black technology, which is designed to polarize light.

Usually, you can display about 15-16 text lines on the screen. The font size can be selected in the settings, only 3 of them. Under natural light, reading the text from the screen is quite possible, here there are no claims to the manufacturer.

The phone's built-in light indicator. Adjusting the backlight due to its operation is carried out automatically. Adjust the level manually does not work, the software does not provide such a possibility to the user. Speaking as a whole - the average screen, without "bells and whistles", but without critical drawbacks.

"Nokia C7 01": the memory characteristic

The built-in long-term memory has a capacity of 8 GB. For individual money, the user can buy a "carry case" for the Nokia C7, as well as a memory card, the maximum size of which is maintained up to 32 GB. The flash drive must be of the MicroSD type. The slot, as for SIM cards, is inside the phone. To install the drive, remove the back cover.

The internal memory in the phone is 256 MB. It was expected that such an increase would be a breakthrough in the field of increasing the speed of the device, as well as its stability. Well, we managed to increase the speed. But with the stability of the operating system, as well as software, problems are still observed, despite the increase in "RAM" twice.

Food

The battery capacity of the device is 1200 mAh. In the standby mode, the phone can function for almost 400 hours, or more precisely, 380. At the same time, it is able to work in the talk mode before noon. Play video will be up to 7 hours, listen to music - up to 50 hours, record video - up to 4 hours.

In what, and in terms of autonomous work, the differences between C7 and N8 are very noticeable. And clearly not in favor of the latest model. But even with such a turn of events, it is unlikely that you will make a smartphone work more than 2 days without recharging.

Many competitors who are in the same price category with this device, "live" no more than a day, and it is advantageously singles out "Nokia S7". The largest percentage of charging is absorbed by the desktop, on which, as you know, there are enough widgets.

Even more charging can be spent while surfing the Internet. The maximum brightness set on the device will reduce the time of its possible operation by 20 percent. From the electric network, the phone charges a little less than 2 hours.

Nokia C7 Phone: Performance Characteristics

A lot about the performance of the device can not be said. This is not a gaming smartphone, definitely. As the processor is installed ARM11. It operates at a frequency of 680 MHz.

Reviews

Feedback about the model suggests that the device will be a good purchase for ordinary users. That is, to use the phone as a "dialer" and a text messaging facility is quite possible. However, nothing more. Customers of the device also note that Nokia S7 will give the necessary experience to people who just stop using push-button phones and switch to sensory devices.
