"Nokia S7": phone characteristics and reviews. Full review of Nokia C7: thin, metallic, innovative Reviews and tests

The Nokia C7 smartphone is almost impossible. The same wide body with a metal lid. The differences are on the inside. The hardware includes a gigahertz processor and a larger capacity battery. Software - an updated version of Symbian called Belle (translated from English - beauty). Therefore, this is more of a review of the changes that have appeared in Symbian Belle than a review of a phone that is an upgrade of its predecessor.

Technical characteristics and equipment of Nokia 701

Technologically, we still have the same Nokia C7-00, with an updated, as already mentioned, processor and battery. It is worth noting the Corning Gorilla glass, the activated NFC chip, which even with the efforts of Google there is nowhere to really use it, support for Bluetooth 3.0 (still a rarity, unfortunately), an 8-megapixel camera without autofocus (at this point, technically savvy readers are once again perplexed shrug), an 8-gigabyte built-in drive (not superfluous even with the current cheapness of memory) and the ability to connect USB drives (an adapter is needed, which reduces the likelihood of using the function to zero).

Impressions from work

At the end of 2011, Symbian found it increasingly difficult to compete with Android in terms of usability in non-telephone functions. Theoretically, it allows you to work with social networks and a browser, but today it is very difficult to convince the user that the keyboard needs to be switched in 3 clicks in the menu. That the browser does not support Flash and does not allow you to copy text from pages. That a good Twitter client (in this case, Gravity) should cost money, but a free one, integrated for some reason with OVI, works because of this through the cracks and cannot do half of what the user is used to.

Positioning

In the line of smartphones from Nokia, the Nokia C7-00 (hereinafter referred to as simply C7 for simplicity) has been given a special place; this is the second Symbian^3 smartphone that will appear on the market. Let me remind you that there will be many such models in 2010-2011, but they will be present and sold with rather old devices running Symbian^1 (S60 fifth edition). Nokia considers the Nokia N8 to be the flagship; the main emphasis will be on sales of this device. However, it is the Nokia C7 that will be sold due to its lower price in large volumes, and will also prove a simple thing: the camera is not a big advantage for the mass market (with an eye to the fact that buyers will not know about the “quality” of the camera in the C7 and will purchase megapixels ). Why will Nokia C7 be attractive in the eyes of consumers? The answer is simple - it's the same Nokia N8, packaged in a different case, at a lower cost.

Considering that the company tried to lower the cost of the Nokia N8, it could not make the C7 model attractive in price. The reason is that it would destroy sales of the N8. As a result, the generally balanced solution was made hostage to Nokia's pricing strategy. The difference in price between the Nokia C6-01 (completely identical, except for the screen) and the C7 is 75 euros, while the difference in price between the C7 and N8 is only 40 euros. At the same time, Nokia C7 was conceived as an optimal device in terms of price/quality ratio, a solution that should act as a kind of ideological continuation of the E-series models. It is clear that there is a Nokia E7-00, but this model rather belongs to the class of QWERTY devices, while the C7 directly inherits the E52/E72, it has a similar body design and the feel of the device. But this is a completely sensory solution. During development, this model was planned as one of the first with a touch screen in the E-series. But later they decided that it should be a flagship in the C index, simple, everyday models.

All this throwing played a cruel joke. On the one hand, consumers will not be entirely clear why the Nokia C7 is so much more expensive than the C6-01; on the other hand, the Nokia N8 is more attractive, and the price difference is not too critical. Unfortunately, the lack of balance in the product line has a negative impact on sales of the Nokia C7; they cannot be as high as this device deserves.

Positioning for the buyer of this model is very simple. Nokia's touch solution for everyday use. As a rule, buyers of this phone are either not familiar with Nokia touch products (moving from feature phones) or are replacing existing touch solutions with the S60. In the first case, there is usually no experience of communicating with touch devices, so the difference in user experience will not be too noticeable. In the second case, this phone also offers better functionality, which can be considered as a positive trend. People who have used other touch solutions of the same level (in terms of price and positioning) are unlikely to find improvements in the Nokia product, and their experience is unlikely to be positive. Of course, if budget touchscreen phones (LG Cookie, Samsung Corby, etc.) are replaced, then the model from Nokia is head and shoulders above them. But if we are talking about comparable solutions, then there will be no difference or it will not be in Nokia’s favor. I hope this gives you some insight into your experience with the product. Much like other recent Symbian smartphones, this phone is intended for fans of the Nokia brand and is not capable of attracting new buyers.

Design, dimensions, control elements

Externally, the model looks like a mixture of Korean phone designs and typical Nokia, an unusual but attractive mixture. Photos do not convey the charm of the Nokia C7; in real life it is pleasant and fits well in the hand. Weight – 130 grams, size – 117.3 x 56.8 x 10.5 mm. Long and thin. I like how the device fits in my hand.

Comparison with Nokia N8:

A total of three colors are available – metallic silver, red-brown and dark grey. To my taste, all colors are good, although girls will like red-brown.

On the front panel there is a front camera for video calls, as well as a light indicator and a proximity indicator (proximity sensor). The call/end call keys, as well as the menu button, are made mechanical, which is a plus. In keeping with the phone's style, there is a lock slider on the right side. There is also a camera button and a paired volume key, which is convenient to use, unlike such a button on the C6-01.

At the top end there is a microUSB connector, a 3.5 jack for a headset, and a power key. The 2 mm connector for the charger was moved to the side.

The speakerphone and call signal are located on the back of the device. There is also a two-section LED flash and an 8-megapixel camera without autofocus. The SIM card slot is located under the back cover; changing the card is possible without removing the battery, but the phone automatically reboots.

There are no complaints about the build quality, the device is assembled quite tightly, it is good in this regard. The protruding design element of the earpiece (such a glossy strip) wears out if you put the phone face down. Why he was made a speaker remains a mystery to me.

Display

The screen has a resolution of 640x360 pixels, 3.5 inches, it is covered with glass (the so-called special plastic, similar to the X6, it differs from that on the N8) and displays up to 16 million colors. The screen type is AMOLED, by analogy with the N8, we can assume that Samsung is also the supplier. The screen is no different from the Nokia N8, it is completely similar. This model does not have a polarizing layer (ClearBlack Display).

The screen can accommodate up to 16 lines of text (not in all modes), three font sizes are supported, they are selected when setting up the phone. In the sun the screen remains readable.

The built-in light sensor automatically adjusts the screen backlight depending on external conditions. As a rule, the level is underestimated, so it is better to set in the menu the value that is comfortable for you (for me it is 60-65 percent of the maximum). You cannot manually adjust the backlight level.

A good, modern screen, there are not enough stars in the sky, but it also has no obvious disadvantages.

Memory, memory cards

The memory in the phone is 350 MB, it is allocated to regular applications or your data. Built-in 8 GB, there are also microSD memory cards up to 32 GB. The memory card slot is located under the back cover.

The amount of RAM in the phone is 256 MB (in the same Nokia N97 Mini it is 128 MB). For Nokia this is a giant leap forward, which should have meant an increase in the device's stability and speed. With speed this is true, but with stability everything is not so rosy. I will make a reservation that it is better than on other devices of the company, but by no means as good as it should be.

Battery

The battery used is BL-5K, its capacity is 1200 mAh. With it, the device can work up to 380 hours in standby mode, from 5.5 to 12 hours in talk mode (UMTS/GSM).

The device uses a new architecture, which, together with Symbian^3, provides increased operating time in each mode. Let's look at the operating time of the device in different modes (theory and practice):

• Video playback up to 7 hours (I got 6.6 hours);
• Music playback up to 50 hours (standard headphones, music in repeat mode - 49 hours);
• Data transfer (Web TV) up to 3 hours 20 minutes (1 hour 45 minutes, the quality of network coverage may play a role);
• Video recording - 3 hours 40 minutes (3 hours 10 minutes, maximum characteristics, screen brightness set manually)

The differences from the Nokia N8 are noticeable; the operating time with the same battery capacity has increased, and noticeably.

The disadvantages include the fact that on average the phone still works for no more than 2 days. Compared to many competitors who live no more than one day, this is a good indicator. The energy sink is the desktop with widgets (they are power hungry, like any data transfer, with the exception of Wi-Fi). When browsing online pages, battery power is also actively wasted. Based on the operating time, it becomes clear why the ARM11 processor frequency is only 680 MHz, this is a compromise to achieve the longest operating time. From my observations, setting the screen brightness to 70 percent reduces the phone's battery life under my usage profile by 10 percent. When set to maximum brightness - about 20 percent.

The total charging time for the phone is about 2 hours.

USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi

USB. In USB settings you can select one of 3 operating modes:

• Data Storage (Mass Storage USB)- both the phone memory and memory cards are visible, no drivers are required, the OS itself recognizes the phone.
• OVI Suite- work with OVI Suite, access to all functions of the device, backup of all information, and so on.
• Printing & Media- photo printing, MTP mode.

Data transfer speed is about 5.5 Mbit/s. When you connect the USB cable, the phone charges.

Bluetooth. This is the second Nokia model to feature Bluetooth 3.0, also called High Speed. When transferring files to other devices that support this technology, Wi-Fi 802.11 n is used, and the theoretical transfer speed is about 24 Mbit/s. Testing the transfer of a 1 GB file from Samsung Wave S8500 to Nokia C7 and back showed a maximum speed of about 10 Mbit/s within three meters between devices. When transferring large files, the connection often breaks down, which is not observed when transferring files from a Nokia C7 to another similar device or from Samsung to Samsung. Apparently there is some kind of incompatibility between the settings. At the same time, the transfer of large files to regular S60 smartphones is also sometimes interrupted (BT 3.0 is not used here).

The model supports various profiles, in particular, Headset, Handsfree, Serial Port, Dial Up Networking, File Transfer, Object Push, Basic Printing, SIM Access, A2DP. Working with headsets does not raise any questions, everything is ordinary.

WiFi. The 802.11 b/g/n standard is supported; this is not the first device on the market with such a set of protocols. Everything works like clockwork and does not raise any questions. There is a wizard for searching for Wi-Fi networks, and there is also a corresponding widget (I installed it myself, it’s convenient).

Camera

A regular 8-megapixel camera without autofocus, just like in the Nokia C6-01, they are identical. Surprisingly, Nokia chased megapixels and abandoned autofocus. In my opinion, it would have been better to install a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus than the current one. The image quality is acceptable on a clear day at long distances. The camera simply can’t take pictures up close, photographs of text are something else, and with a flash the camera also produces mediocre results. For Symbian, the quality of cameras has always come first, but now the situation is exactly the opposite. In my opinion, this is a very big drawback, since the camera does not stand up to any criticism, its quality is below average, if not worse. However, look at the photographs for yourself.

Video. The camera records video in 720p resolution (25 frames per second, H.264 codec). The video quality is normal.

Software

Let me remind you that all the features of Symbian^3 are described to the maximum extent possible in the review. I don’t think it’s possible or necessary to repeat myself separately; the review describes all the functionality of this OS.

Impression

The phone has only one speaker, but it is loud and clear, the call can be heard from clothes, bags, in a word, the device is loud. I like that the vibration alert shakes with a slight tremor, but some will consider it weak, probably even the majority. There are no complaints about the quality of communication with the device, everything works “excellent”.

One of the serious pitfalls when purchasing this device is the camera; its quality does not stand up to criticism. This is another “gift” from Nokia to highlight the advantages of the Nokia N8. Considering that these models were made very close in price, this is a strange move. Let me remind you that the camera has always been a strong point of smartphones on the S60 and an advantage compared to similar devices on Windows Mobile and Android. In this case, this advantage was simply abandoned.

The cost of the Nokia C7-00 is 18,000 rubles (from 350 euros), while the Nokia C6-01 will cost about 260-270 euros and offers exactly the same capabilities. This is the first blow to the Nokia C7. The second blow can be considered the presence of the Nokia N8, where we see a very rich set of supplies (case, adapters, etc.) with a minimal difference in cost and a camera that is much higher in class. It turns out that in the Nokia lineup, the C7 model occupies an intermediate position and is cannibalized by sales of the other two devices. This is a shame, since the model was supposed to be the best solution in terms of price/quality ratio, and this, with a number of reservations, is the most balanced solution on Symbian^3 today. A camera with autofocus would be included here, and the bestseller would be ready.

There are a very large number of competitors for this model on the market, and most have been on sale for quite some time. These are Samsung Wave, as well as the now released Wave II (the first costs about 320 euros or 16,000 rubles, the second about 400 euros or 20,000 rubles), HTC Desire (18,000 rubles, 360 euros), Motorola XT720 aka MOTOROI (400 euros, 20,000 rubles). The list of models can go on and on. In my opinion, incorrect price positioning makes sales of the C7 in large volumes doubtful; buyers overpay about 20 percent for the Nokia brand in this case. In the Nokia product line, this is a nice solution that can be recommended to everyone who is familiar with touch Symbian, understands what awaits them and how to deal with it. And most importantly, he doesn’t feel any need for a camera. Probably, for such buyers, the Nokia C7 will be a very pleasant choice that will delight them. For the rest, there are many models that are superior to the C7 in interface, speed, capabilities and amount of additional software.

And finally, a summary of the characteristics of the Nokia C7, C6-01 and Nokia N8.

Smartphone Nokia N9 - pure pleasure

In the first part of the review, we already told readers about the new Nokia N 9 phone in general, discussed the stated parameters and characteristics of the device. Now it's time to talk about the details and how it all looks in real life. Let's start with the hardware component.

Nokia N9 with MeeGo operating system, use

It's time to talk about the operating system used in the Nokia N9 phone - MeeGo. This mobile OS is notable because the N9 is the first smartphone to use it. And, apparently, the last one. Although no, that would be disingenuous - MeeGo is remarkable in itself. Let's see what's what.

Nokia C2-03 and Nokia C2-06 ​​- two-card, stylish, touchscreen

Until recently, Nokia did not release phones at all that supported two SIM cards at the same time, but now it offers a choice of several models at once. So far, the most functional of them are Nokia C2-03 and Nokia C2-06. However, the only difference between them is the color scheme of the case. Both new products from the Finnish company have several advantages. Let's get to know them better.

Nokia C7 is a thin and beautiful smartphone that belongs to the Cseries. This line includes devices that are used specifically for calls and voice communication, and other functions are less important. Nokia C7-00 heads this group of phones, I have a clear idea that the smartphone is subtly reminiscent of something (perhaps the association is associated with the shiny metal screen bezel, which is used in both devices). The C7-00 impresses with its compactness and appearance; the smartphone could easily fit into the E-series line; it is beautiful and original.

On the one hand, the C-series devices are quite simple, but the C7-00 is by no means a smartphone in which you can experience a lack of functions. The solid, neat and at the same time stylish appearance is captivating - we can safely say that the device will become very popular. It will replace some of the E-series devices, which were often purchased based on their shape and ease of use.

Appearance

The smartphone has a thin body, dimensions are 117.3 x 56.8 x 10.5 mm, which is almost (114 x 57 x 10 mm), the dimensions are very close. Apparently, the solution that is optimally convenient for everyone has been found, when the phone is large enough to be convenient to use, but at the same time it is quite compact. Nokia C7-00 weighs about 130 grams. (E71, for comparison, is 127 g), again the numbers are almost the same.

The smartphone has a high-quality build and excellent materials. I looked at the phone in dark gray color, in addition to this option, two others will be available: one painted in metallic silver, and the other in red-brown color.

The front panel is distinguished by a metal edging that runs along its entire perimeter.

At the top there is a protrusion that hides the speaker, next to it there is a camera for video calls, light and detection sensors.

At the top end there is a 3.5 mm hole for connecting headphones or a headset; here we also see a microUSB port covered with a plug and a button to turn off the smartphone.

Under the large 3.5-inch screen there is a large “menu” key, and on either side of it there are buttons for accepting and ending calls. Just below is the microphone hole.

The presence of such buttons is worth noting separately, since doubts periodically arise: is it convenient to use a touchscreen phone without this pair of buttons. It is difficult to give a definite answer, since everyone uses the device in different conditions. But from a personal example, having encountered the fact that in the recent summer heat, touchscreen phones begin to “dull” due to the fact that during a conversation the device is pressed to the cheek, sweat remains on the screen, it dries quickly, as a result of which the device may respond inadequately on pressing. Even the oleophobic coating doesn't help. That's why I'm all for mechanical keys, they're useful.

There is a strap holder at the bottom end.

On the right side there are volume buttons, a screen lock lever and a camera launch button.

The back cover is made of metal and fits tightly to the body.

Display

An AMOLED screen with a diagonal of 3.5 inches is used. The display is capacitive, has a resolution of 360x640 pixels, displays 16 million colors. The picture is bright, juicy and vibrant, excellent screen. There is multi-touch support.

Camera

The smartphone has an 8-megapixel CMOS camera with dual LED flash and 2x digital zoom. It records high-definition HD video with a resolution of 1280x720, 25 frames per second.

A new module is used, the peculiarity of which is that the quality of images taken at a distance of 50 cm has improved. The main disadvantage of this solution is the lack of autofocus. The company's position is that most users like a camera with a fixed focus better; it is easier to learn: just press a button and the photo is ready, while with working autofocus the procedure is somewhat more complicated.

It's no secret that in many mobile devices this problem is solved simply: autofocus can be disabled in the camera settings. And the user has a choice of how to shoot: in a simplified mode or a more complex one.

There are no examples of photos and videos due to the fact that the final firmware is not ready yet, so we will wait for production samples to appear.

Audio

Nokia C7-00 supports MP3, WMA, AAC, eAAC, eAAC+, AMR-NB, AMR-WB codecs; it is possible that the device will receive an unlimited subscription to the Ovi music file library, while this issue is being discussed.

There is a stereo FM radio and an FM transmitter.

Platform

C7-00 is based on Symbian^3, has an ARM11 processor and a frequency of 680 MHz. The smartphone has 256 MB of RAM and 1 GB for the internal needs of the device, of which 350 MB is available to the user. Additionally, there is 8 GB of internal memory, and a microSD card slot allows you to use flash media up to 32 GB.

Connections

Nokia C7-00 operates in the GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA 850/900/1700/1900/2100 bands. There is GPRS/EDGE class B, multi-channel class 33, support for HSDPA cat. 9, maximum speed up to 10.2 Mbit/s, HSUPA cat. 5 2.0 Mbit/s.

There is Bluetooth 3.0, which provides very fast data transfer to devices with Bluetooth of the same version. Users will also appreciate WLAN IEEE802.11 b/g/n.

For data transfer, High-Speed ​​USB 2.0 is used via the microUSB USB connector. In addition, the phone can be charged both through a standard 2 mm connector and through a microUSB port.

The C7-00 has GPS and A-GPS receivers, the phone is equipped with Ovi maps with free car and pedestrian navigation.

Battery

The smartphone has a BL-5K lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 1200 mAh. Up to 10 hours of talk time, up to 23 days in standby mode, up to 6.4 hours of video playback, up to 54 hours of music playback, up to 3.8 hours of video recording, up to 6 hours of operation as a navigator are stated.

The indicators are very impressive; when the device is received for full testing, it will be very interesting to evaluate such capabilities in practice.

Standard equipment:

• Smartphone Nokia C7-00


• Battery Nokia BL-5K


• Cable for connecting to a Nokia CA-101D computer


• Stereo headset Nokia WH-102


• Nokia AC-15 High Efficiency Charger


• Quick Guide

Conclusion

Nokia C7-00 is the top of the segment of “simple” Nokia phones. Moreover, it would be hard to call the device an ordinary “dialer”; it is a well-equipped and functional model, and at the same time thin and beautiful, perfectly assembled from high-quality materials. The device is expected to go on sale in the 1st quarter of 2011; it is still difficult to give more precise dates. It seems that there is reason to believe that it will be possible to buy the device at the end of January - beginning of February, but for now this is of a very vague nature.

Who will like the Nokia C7-00? Everyone. The device is so versatile and attractive that it will appeal to both sexes, regardless of age and social status. The only limitation is the price tag, which will most likely be 18,000 rubles.

Here another question arises: shouldn’t we buy a model that will sell for only a couple of thousand more? Moreover, the N8 has a 12-megapixel camera with autofocus and an HDMI output. But in this case, the decision must be made based on your own needs and preferences. We liked the Nokia C7-00.

“Nokia S7 00”, the characteristics of which will be discussed in this article, is simply referred to by users as “Nokia S7”. This smartphone has a special place in the Nokia line of devices. In fact, this is the second smartphone from the company that runs on the Symbian operating system.

The device has a lower cost compared to and therefore the demand for it is expected to be much greater than for the first smartphone with Symbian. Comparing these two models, you won’t find significant differences in performance and hardware in general, but the body of the phone is different, and the price is lower. Due to this, sales of the model are expected to be much more promising.

The manufacturer positions the device as a touchscreen phone that is suitable for everyday use.

Design

Appearance is one of the trump cards of the Nokia C7. The characteristics given to the smartphone by users indicate that the move with an unusual design was a success. This mixture of the company's typical design and the design of Korean devices is quite attractive, there is nothing more to say.

Looking at a photo of a smartphone, you are unlikely to understand what we are talking about. In fact, from the first seconds of actually working with the device, it becomes clear that it fits comfortably and reliably in your hand.

Dimensions

The size of the Nokia S7, the performance characteristics of which will be given a few points below, in all three planes gives the following picture: the height of the smartphone is 117.3 mm, the width is 56.8 mm, and the thickness is 10.5 mm. Well, the thickness of the device has become the cause of constant controversy. On the one hand, it is not that big, but on the other hand, the device is still far away. However, even with such dimensions, the phone, as mentioned earlier, lies comfortably and securely in the hand, and does not cause any problems to the owner when used.

Color solutions

This smartphone is available in the market in three colors. The first is silver, the second is brown-red, the third is dark gray. In all color schemes, the device stands out favorably with “Nokia S7”. The characteristics indicate that most buyers buy red-brown devices for girls. However, there are also universal options. For example, “Nokia S7” is black, which will be an excellent choice for any user, regardless of gender and age.

View from all sides

Display

The screen resolution of this device is 640 by 360 pixels. The display diagonal 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.

There are no differences between the screens of the first and second Symbian smartphones (we are talking about the N8 and C7, respectively). Still the same type of AMOLED, still the same screen supplier (Samsung), still the same color rendition. Clear Black technology, which is designed to polarize light, was not used in the production of this display.

Typically, about 15-16 lines of text can be displayed on the screen. The font size can be selected in the settings, there are 3 in total. In natural light, it is quite possible to read text on the screen, but here there are no complaints about the manufacturer.

The phone has a built-in light indicator. Adjustment of the backlight due to its operation is carried out automatically. It is not possible to adjust the level manually; the software does not provide the user with such an opportunity. Generally speaking, the screen is average, without any bells and whistles, but also without critical flaws.

“Nokia S7 01”: memory characteristics

The long-term memory built into the device has a capacity of 8 GB. For some money, the user can buy a case for the Nokia S7, as well as a memory card, the maximum size of which is supported up to 32 GB. The flash drive must be a MicroSD type. The slot, like for SIM cards, is located inside the phone. To install the drive, you must remove the back cover.

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

Nutrition

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

In some respects, and even in terms of battery life, the differences between the C7 and N8 are very noticeable. And clearly not in favor of the latest model. But even with this turn of events, it is unlikely that it will be possible to make the smartphone work for more than 2 days without recharging.

Many competitors that are in the same price category as this device “live” no more than a day, and this makes Nokia S7 stand out. The largest percentage of charge is consumed by the desktop, which is known to have a lot of widgets on it.

Even more charging can be spent when “surfing” on the Internet. The maximum brightness set on the device will reduce its possible operating time by 20 percent. The phone charges from the mains in just under 2 hours.

Nokia S7 phone: performance characteristics

It’s not possible to say much about the device’s performance. This is not a gaming smartphone, definitely. The processor is ARM11. It operates at 680 MHz.
