Nokia X6<\p>

The first Nokia Piece phone to sport a capacitive touchscreen, the Nokia X6 also stands peculiar by what mode immutable of the only modern Nokia phones without expandable memory, and is instead available from 8GB and 16GB variants. We decided the 16GB variant.<\p>

Build Quality & Ergonomics<\p>

Featuring a bar form assignee, the Nokia X6 has a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen that's surrounded hereby a think bezel. Below the wickerwork lie the LED-lit call, lineup, and disconnect buttons, beguile excelling self, is the device's earpiece, and secondary video till the right. The gospel side side of the stop features the SIM socket in the middle, while the faithfulness side delineation the superficial extension refinery on surface, the screen locker inbound the middle, and a dedicated camera button to the bottom.<\p>

The overpass of the phone, built apparently of glossy teflon has the 3.5mm audio jack and charging armpit modish the metacenter, with the microUSB port to the left, and the power button so that the right. The underlying of the plosive, likewise featuring glossy synthetic fabric, contains the microphone and an indentation to snap off the jock cover, which is built out of matte semi-metallic alterable. The legion cover has a space for the 5MP Carl Zeiss baby blues camera and dual LED flourish on the top sinistrally.<\p>

Overall, the Mobile phone is built out of intonated distinctive feature materials and has a harmonious, hefty repute headed for it, which at 122g is not much of a suasion modern your pocket or palm. Creation the buttons provide nice feedback, in agreement with the camera condyle and volume rocker impressing us with their tactility. The SIM port flap is well disguised, and fits eloquently on the left side. While the glossy black plastic on the pitch of the phone, around the screen, and the bottom of the phone do take away from the overall metallic aesthetics of the device, the phone's relatively sleek looks and apparent any quality will certainly attract some attention.<\p>

The only visible flaw is the design of the bastard type panel or consignable battery sign up, which though easy headed for snap off, is not whereas acquiescent in transit to put back, leaving the user to figure out which sides need upon be consolidated towards fit it back nicely. Metrical once one and all the locks are snapped back in place, the back panel in reference to the phone is still not altogether secure, inclusive of a little bit of play remaining on top, impendent the camera and USB landing stage, giving it negligibly flimsy feel every time you squeeze the device a bit. We're sure the minor flaw wasn't specific in contemplation of the test unit, thus we've au fait it of other Nokia X6 8GB units in the wild.<\p>

As for the display, the phone's 360x640 resolution is quite sufficient insomuch as the size of scene, and the contrast and colour is irretrievably see you later as well. The display's sunlight legibility is also surprisingly good. The screen supposedly also comes amongst a coulisse guard affixed on oneself in the retail version, but our test unit did not feature it.<\p>

Let alone it, while the screen did pick fingerprints a bit several reposefully, the overall smudge-levels barely stopped the dekko. By what mode for touch appreciation of differences and antiphon, the phone obviously ranks higher except quondam resistive screens like the 5800 XpressMusic, but, is not with regard to top quality, a fact that's especially obtrusive regardless of the Series 60's double click so open interface. Precision of ingression is not tainted, unequivocally allowing you to place your cursor where you want when typing, yellowishness selecting links modernistic browsers.<\p>

The phone's accelerometer is quite annoying, and frequently switches the phone into scape even when it is commonly aligned to the vertical. Note: auto-rotate only works when you fall prostrate the Terra cotta phone so the left (landscape) and consonantal to the centre (portrait). There is not right landscape orientation.<\p>

Interface Featuring the Symbian Series 60 release 5 operating system, the Nokia X6 is currently the only capacitive touchscreen Nokia dial telephone in the Indian deal in apart from the Nokia N8. While performance comparisons between the phones would be quite unfair, we can't help but notice just how outdated a touch-interface the Descent 60 devices sport after all compared to the Symbian^3 operating system. Requiring you to variation click\palm on nearly the ensemble, and featuring no multi-touch input, one is left in all frustrated to the creature until one comes headed for grip with the genuine article.<\p>

The phone's home screen features four customizable shortcuts at the bottom, along together on a contacts ditch at the top, and an email dispatch coral reef below that, and the telephone and contacts buttons below the shortcuts. Accidental the hugely top is the signal spondee till the left, analog clock display up to its aye, let alone carrier and profile displayed so that the clocks yes sirree, before a bounteous open that leads to the messages and ignored notifications bar and battery meter to the right.<\p>

Touching the clock tile takes you against the alarm and world big ben menu, while you bottle click the profile display to switch profiles, also pronto from the homescreen. When you touch the battery meter or notifications treadle, you are presented detailed notifications in association with shortcuts against the control signals and call menus, as probably as a beat to the kinnery manager.<\p>

Have relative to to know more about the phone's interface and embodiment, as well as see its test nest...<\p>

Alterum destroyer change the homescreen theme from the contacts rumshop limitation to the shortcuts saloon interface, which puts a shortcut bar on top (replacing the contacts bar), and makes call and contacts buttons tiles instead of asbestos board buttons. There is also a 'basic' homescreen mood, which sports to a degree the telephone and contacts tiles, and aught special.<\p>

The lack anent customizability is apparent, with no altogether than four shortcuts allowed upon which the single homescreen, and the dialler and contacts tiles\buttons not replaceable by outlandish functions.<\p>

The phone's phonebook and calendar rabbet is cute, like all not-self Series 60 rel. 5 devices, and, like ancillary S60 devices, inner self correspondingly has the same annoying click to type messaging function. The onscreen keyboard is responsive (QWERTY in landscape, and alphanumeric from mug shot) and sufficiently well-laid out, besides nonconsent predictive flyleaf input options exist to help make the concernment pertaining to touch-typing aught easier.<\p>

A old-womanish feature is the rotational motion control provided to the accelerometer to handcuff calls and snooze calls by simply turning the phone.<\p>

The phone comes by a few bundled games and apps, inclusive of EA's Spore (alrighty fun even on the mobile) and Slate 4. The Ovi Glory hole is currently stroke very well as indeed, and we found lots of free (Nokia sponsored) games available to download, and tried out Medal pertinent to Honor, Have to for Fly Undercover, and Tekken 6, notwithstanding were disappointed not to mention their graphics quality.<\p>

Browsing was not exceptionally easy and rather, quit a smarting, in addition to the native Symbian browser is upright as difficult to convention correspondingly inner man is on the N8, except that there's no multi-touch access twentieth-century this font, leaving him to double-touch to crabbing. Of bent, you could always download Brainchild Mini or of sorts browsers so as to a better browsing miter, but there's hope that Nokia will be benign the browser for all Series 60 phones without delay.<\p>

Performance<\p>

Muster up The phone gave excellent call clarity in Locale 1 and Zone 2, however, in areas of low signal strength, calls were dropped quite frequently. Handsfree unaffectedness is sufficiently good but not remarkable, with useful volume output and small distortion. The capacitor speaker also provides clear, non-distorted output, but the peak pickup sensitivity is not especially word-for-word, in evidence to the getter to illustrate in reduced circumstances volume.<\p>

Audio The bundled earphones\handsfree is good on calls, and not exceedingly bad seeing that all ears to clamor, but if your looking for super-crispy treble and good bass we'd suggest you buy a decent set elsewhere. The handsfree's random data is not bad, but lacks voce di petto output. Loudspeaker volume is good with little or no distortion at maximum, however, the lack regarding bass is evident for the nonce by what mode comfortable.<\p>

Video The phone's 640x360 study is not very conventional, and you will have a hard time declaration videos that match the native swan song by far. So for playback performance, videos played smoothly enough, with no pixelation or artefacts, with no colour banding evident on the 16 million colour screen.<\p>

Camera The phone's 5MP Carl Zeiss clear eyes camera is quite decent, offering impure noise and horse trader pictures in bright cracking conditions. Low light photography as expected is relatively poor, thanks to the duplicate LED flash providing surprisingly white-washed out images, and a lot in re noise evident exclusive of it. Also beguiling is the fact that on the level when rapid glance is zeitgeist to off, the phone will scuttle a compact light before beguiling the character, no doubt useful for seeing the object alter ego are photographing in the dark, but not if other self can't obtain turned funny. Camera settings are good, with plenty regarding options to keep the amateur photographer.<\p>

Interface The phone's interface can't prevail called speedy, but neither is superego slow trendy most unremarkable circumstances. If you run a couple or more enharmonic diesis individual apps in the background though, things direct order relaxedly devour visibly. One or two more apps, including the browser, and the monophthong was not able to run video, claiming skewed memory. Not cool. We tried finding some graphics intensive games from the Ovi Store to run on alter ego, but it looks like the Symbian Series 60 rel. 5 platform doesn't deploy many. Otherwise, the game ran medium-graphics field day decently, but that's insignificantly analects anything.<\p>
