Nokia E6: specifications, review and reviews

One of the most popular phones on the market, Nokia E6, became known to the world community thanks to the conflict between the Finnish manufacturer and the Canadian giant Blackberry. The fact is that smart phones are identical not only in appearance, but in functionality. Significant difference in phones only in price - Nokia is 5 times cheaper than a Canadian representative. In this article, the reader will get acquainted with the scandalously known smartphone closer, and the technical characteristics, review and feedback of owners will help a potential buyer to pick up a phone on the mobile device market.

Functionality for work and entertainment

For convenience, the smartphone supports voice dialing and management, as well as a built-in speaker for hands-free communication. Light and proximity sensors allow the phone to save electricity, and the built-in accelerometer copes with the role of the compass.

Cell phone Nokia, apparently, claims to be in the niche of youth devices, at least, this is indicated by its multimedia capabilities:

1. The built-in camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels. In addition to the built-in flash, the camera is equipped with a digital zoom and is able to recognize faces.
2. Video recording is carried out according to the H.264 standard with a maximum resolution of 1280x720 dots per inch (the frequency does not exceed 25 frames per second).

As additional functionality there is a front camera, Geo Tagging is supported (adding location information to photos). The phone is capable of playing audio in all popular formats. At the hardware level, the smartphone has FM radio.

First meeting

As many users have noted, Nokia's cell phone borrowed even a bundle from a Canadian representative. The box really has an impressive size, and its contents will please all buyers. Inside, you can find not only a smartphone and a charger. The buyer will be pleasantly surprised by the branded case for the phone and great quality headphones.

But to the quality of assembly, many owners have questions. Firstly, the phone is very light, and a huge "scapula" can not weigh 130 grams, then obviously the manufacturer saved on materials. There are censures and to the design itself - it creaks under a strong deformation. This behavior of the device in the plastic case indicates low-quality materials used for the manufacture of telephones.

Ergonomics and management

In addition to the SIM card slot, the user will not be able to detect any other interface connectors under the Nokia E6 smartphone battery. Overview of the appearance of the phone suggests that the manufacturer has placed everything necessary for the user at hand. First of all, we are talking about a memory card - for the micro-SD slot is located near the power button, on top. It is covered with a rubber cap and allows the user to remove the drive without turning off the smartphone. Also, under the rubber cover, the user will find a USB port, which may be needed to flash or synchronize the phone with a personal computer.

Appearance spoils only the control buttons, which the manufacturer made strongly protruding from the body on the right, side edge. The volume control keys are sensory, and technologists could make them smaller. Superfluous in the Nokia E6 is a huge slider, which is responsible for locking the device.

Operating system features

According to the manufacturers, the phone has an innovative operating system Symbian Anna. The manufacturer assures that the changes affected not only the appearance, but also are directly related to the performance (less resource-consuming). But, as the owners note in their reviews, they did not notice the special difference between the devices of the previous generation and the E6. And for most users, the main criterion when buying was the full compatibility of applications for the Symbian platform. That is, any programs for Nokia, which people used before buying a new smartphone, will work on this device. In fact, this is one of the main criteria that influenced the choice of this phone model.

Expectations and opportunities

The presence of a camera with a high resolution in an inexpensive smartphone attracts the buyer unambiguously, but a close acquaintance with the functional of the device leads to a completely different result. Firstly, there are no declared 8 megapixels in the camera - in fact a 5 Mp matrix is installed. Built-in programs for Nokia produce the usual image interpolation, providing the result of processing to the user. There are also complaints about the light sensitivity of the matrix - white balance and shades of gray are unfamiliar to it, so in poor lighting, it will not be possible to achieve a qualitative picture.

But the lack of autofocus does not affect the quality of photos. The camera perfectly copes with the measurement of distances and fixes the smallest details of objects. The better the lighting on the street, the better the user will receive a photo. To the color reproduction in good lighting, too, no complaints.

Entering information and management

The buttons on the keyboard of the Nokia E6 phone, as noted by users, have a rather hard move, which completely eliminates accidental depression when entering information. The keys themselves are slightly convex upwards - this form does not allow even a thumb to press a few buttons. As it should be any full keyboard, the smartphone has a long space, the key to turn on the upper case of letters and an alternative command call (Sym and Ctrl buttons).

The manufacturer has implemented a full-fledged keyboard illumination in the device, which is controlled by an illumination sensor. All smartphone buttons are highlighted evenly, without any distortion. In general, the keyboard of this phone is spotless. With it, it is very easy to type large volumes of text with either one or both hands. The small playground under the keys plays the role of a finger rest.

Finally

A rather interesting model was released by Nokia on the world market. On the one hand, this is a low-quality plagiarism on a more expensive phone, and on the other - the cheapest smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard, which has a mass of useful functions. For example, in the Nokia E6 phone, the firmware is downloaded independently when the device is connected to high-speed WiFi networks, as it is implemented in many Android-based devices. In general, dignity still prevails over shortcomings, and the smartphone continues to appear new owners daily.
