subject: Nokia X6 Price and Features [print this page] NOKIA HAS launched Nokia X6 in the market with lots of new features and specifications. Though its bit costly and ranges between Rs 23000 to Rs 28000 but it's interesting to see how this change in approach works for them.
Nokia have always had a strong appeal to the masses, but satisfying the selected few range of people is undoubtedly harder. This is also the first Xpress music handset to head directly to the high class.
The key feature which makes it different from similar phones is the 32 GB internal memory. It is really good news for those who wants to store thousands of songs and data in their cell phone.
Bluetooth and USB (standard micro USB connector) v2.0
3.5mm standard audio jack
Very good audio quality
Proximity sensor for screen auto turn-off
Accelerometer sensor for automatic UI rotation and motion-based gaming
Stereo speakers
TV out
Landscape on-screen virtual QWERTY keyboard
Ovi Maps 3.0 Touch
Further Ovi and MySpace service integration (direct image and video uploads)
Most regional retail packages include a set of the great Nokia WH-500 headphones
Main disadvantages:
X6 is still quite pricey (around 500 euro at the time of writing)
UI is still immature with somewhat inconsistent user experience
Touch web browser not quite polished and with dodgy Flash support
No voice-guided navigation license
No office document viewer preinstalled
Doesn't charge off microUSB
Very poor sunlight legibility
Slow image gallery
No DivX/XviD support for the video player
No microSD card slot (as a connectivity solution)
So altogether there is nothing new in the software package except the high inbuilt memory provided. That is the reason why it is hard to justify the high asking price.
The Nokia X6 looks pretty nice with its opaque plastic finish.
While it might suit nicely an entry or midrange handset, we can't help but wish for some metal both for looks and durability. We have never seen much steel on an XpressMusic phone, but then again, we've never had to pay this much to get one.
The Nokia X6 right side features three keys - the volume rocker, the camera key and the screen lock slider. They are large and comfortable enough so using them is no trouble at all.
The stereo speakers and the SIM card slot are on the left side of the X6. You actually need to remove the battery to eject the SIM card but you don't have to do that when inserting it. Yet you shouldn't expect some kind of hot-swap functionality or anything like it. You still need to restart the device for the new card to work.
There is not much to see at the bottom the back side of Nokia X6 hosts the 5 megapixel camera lens and its dual-LED low-light assistant. Unfortunately, there is no lens protection aside from the edgy frame surrounding it.
The 5 megapixel camera is the star backstage Quoted at up to 420 hours of stand-by and up to 8.5 hours of talk time, it could give you good two and a half days of general usage.
