Nokia X7-00 review: The stealth xpress

29 June 2011
Dressed to kill and with a fresh coat of paint on the interface, the Nokia X7 is keen to show there's still fight left in Symbian. The screen is a definite high point and the stainless steel body is fashioned like a stealth jet fighter. Symbian Anna adds in features that have...

            Gsmarena! Please read again your review so that you can edit some errors. :)

            >>
            Viewing angles of the screen are great and colors are lovely and vivid. Sunlight legibility is not perfect but it holds up slightly better than, say, the Samsung Galaxy S II.

            The **C7** screen sensitivity is as good as we’ve come to expect from capacitive units and touch feedback is very impressive.

                There is an idea why X7 has a tray for its simcard. I think it is so that you can cut your regular sims to match the size of micro-simcards. Clever Nokia...

                      AnonD-12390, 30 Jun 2011How AMOLED is better than Super AMOLED??? would you like ... moreSuper AMOLED is basically an ordinary AMOLED with (supposedly) less power consumption and much less reflective. So basically, you can get the same quality of Super AMOLED with and ordinary AMOLED with proper tweaking, take a look at Nokia ClearBlack displays, they are ordinary AMOLED with a polarize filter and the results is just as good as Super AMOLED (Or even better, according to GSMArena itself). Nokia C6-01, E7 and N9 uses this technology, not sure about the X7, it isn't on its specifications.

                            For all the people who are saying it's outdated, the 5 year old AMOLED screen is better than the Super LCD and Super AMOLED screens of todays technology thanks to Nokia's engineers. :)

                              Nice review (as always).

                              Still waiting for your E6 review. Found one at the other site (initials PA) and the review there was lacking in general. Initially thought it was hate mail for Nokia, then I saw comments about the "review" being biased. Really an "Oh..." moment for me there.

                              XD

                                why does Nokia always so stingy on their hardwares? The specs are more or less what samsung Omnia HD/i8910 has, and samsung got that phone out 2 years ago! Is this going to be another N97?
