Who said that push-button phones are out of fashion? Of course, it is unlikely that anyone will change their sensor for buttons, and smart phones have long begun to solve our problems, nevertheless, devices like the Nokia 7210 Supernova are still on sale, because they are a symbol of reliability and indestructibility.
Why buy?
Why do you think people still buy phones like the Nokia 7210 Supernova? Much of this has to do with ease of use. While young people quickly got used to the sensor, learned all the functions of a smartphone and immersed themselves in using social networks, the older generation did not immediately adapt to touch screens. Some just didn't want to use the touchscreen, some really couldn't accustom themselves to such devices.
Therefore, push-button phones have not disappeared from the market. Moreover, some manufacturers release a couple of new models a year to maintain demand. But many continue to give preference to some cult models, and someone even nostalgic for those times.
Popularitypush-button phones have a lot to do with the rare problems that happen to them. What happened to your push-button mobile? Perhaps one button stuck, most often the "Menu" button. Otherwise, it is difficult to find obvious flaws.
Yes, these devices can't talk to us like smartphones do, almost all of them have no internet, and the camera is bad. But if we are talking specifically about the "dialer", then these are perhaps the most reliable options.
About phone
Nokia 7210 Supernova was released in 2008. Now it is still available for sale. It will cost you 500 rubles. The manufacturer, when releasing the model, positioned it as a budget one. She was the first in the Supernova line. It cost 120 euros at the time of issue.
The appearance of the device hinted at the fact that this is a purely female model. Although the color scheme contained more restrained options. It was planned that the device would become mass, although it is difficult to imagine what kind of man would buy a white and pink phone.
Package
The Nokia 7210 Supernova came in a bright branded box. At that time, Nokia was especially vehemently committed to white packaging. But this model was available in a box with a white background but lots of bright details.
The model of the device and its photo were displayed on the front. On one of the ends there was a sticker on which the main parameters of the phone were indicated.
The inside of the box was blue. could be noticedtwo sectors: the first was the phone, and the second charger. The sector with Nokia was decorated in the same way as the box. Opening it, one could also find headphones and instructions. The headset is branded, white with a microphone and a clothespin.
Device appearance
Description of the Nokia 7210 Supernova should start with the design, as the manufacturer focused on it.
This model is represented by a monoblock. Plastic was used to make it. There are very few metal parts here: the frame of the main button and the camera. An interesting decision was the choice of colors.
For example, there is the most popular model, which is made in a milky color on top, and then a gradient is used that turns into gray. Unfortunately, this was done only from the front, since the back cover is made in milky color.
The device is compact and has rounded corners. It is comfortable to hold in your hands: it does not slip out, but it does not crash into the palm. There are colored inserts on the sides, which become thicker towards the middle, and you can see the manufacturer's logo on them.
The front panel cannot be changed, so the manufacturer provides: white with pink accents or gray with blue. But the cover can be changed. Sometimes replacement options are available in the kit. On the market there are: brown, blue, yellow, green and gray panel.
Details
The button block of the Nokia 7210 Supernova seems to be monolithic. The keys are recessed into the case. They are not island type, so the buttons will notfall out or break. If something breaks down, you will have to change the entire keyboard at once.
Above the display is a wide frame with a silver company logo. There is also a hidden sensor that responds to changes in lighting conditions. The cover of the device is made of plastic. At the top you can see the camera, it is framed by a metal frame. The manufacturer is again indicated under the lens, and below the number of megapixels.
You can see speaker holes at the bottom of the cover. On the left side you can see a hole for a 2 mm charger, which quickly became popular. There is nothing on the right side.
On the bottom you can see a hole for attaching a cord or keychain. All the most important is located on the top end. There is a headset jack - standard, 3.5 mm. There is a hole under the cover, where you can install the microUSB cable.
On the top side you can also find a special button that helps to remove the case cover. To do this, simply drown the key inward and pull the cover. This way you can get to the battery of the device and the SIM card slot.
Control buttons
Button phones "Nokia" have always differed from each other, but still something in common betrayed them as "relatives". In this case, we are talking about the joystick. It has a classic metal frame.
The keyboard itself has a standard set of keys. According to the classics, on the top, on the sides of the joystick, you can find four buttonscontrols: accept and reject a call, as well as two soft keys.
They work according to the classic scenario. The joystick can be pushed left, right, down and up. All this allows you to navigate through the menu. The left soft button is responsible for the "Active" or quick access menu. Right - opens the phone book.
Display
Approximately half of the front of the Nokia 7210 Supernova is occupied by the screen. The second half is occupied by the keyboard. Due to the rather compact dimensions of the phone: 106 x 45 x 10.6 mm, only two inches are occupied by the display. This model has a TFT screen. This is the most budget option, which is now used in cheap smartphones.
Screen resolution - 240 x 320 pixels. For a diagonal of 2 inches, this is quite enough for a good image. The matrix can reproduce about 262 thousand colors. In order for the user not to suffer from glare, the screen received a special coating. The brightness level is enough to use the device even on the sunniest day.
Camera: photo
Nokia's budget-class feature phones rarely had really cool cameras. This model is no exception. The user can use the camera with 2 MP. By 2019, this figure seems negligible, especially if the camera is fundamentally important to the user.
This lens can't take good pictures. It will be possible to take some general photos, although in theory you can set more or less high resolution and photo quality.
The camera can shoot vertically or horizontally. You won't need a numeric keypad to navigate this menu, just a joystick and a key next to it. Unfortunately, there is no button on the body that would launch the camera. To do this, you will have to go to the appropriate menu.
The camera does not work with autofocus, so you have to do it manually. During shooting, useful information is displayed on the screen: the selected mode, resolution, number of possible shots and digital zoom.
The camera has a number of functions:
- two shooting modes;
- vertical and horizontal orientation;
- auto timer up to 10 s;
- shooting series;
- effects (similar to current filters);
- white balance setting;
- image quality setting;
- Adjust image size (160 x 120, 320 x 240, 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1152 x 864, 1280 x 960, 1600 x 1200).
You should be prepared for the fact that after you take a picture, you will have to wait until the phone processes it. Sometimes this process takes 15 seconds.
Camera: video
Of course, for the price of the Nokia 7210 Supernova, you shouldn't expect that you can also shoot videos, but don't be too happy, the quality of the videos is not the best. The format of the finished clip is 3GP at 30 frames per second.
In the settings, you can enable or disable the microphone, set the duration of the video (but note that the video will be interrupted when the memory on the phone runs out), set the resolution and adjust the quality.
Device specifications
The specifications of the Nokia 7210 Supernova are rather mediocre. Do not expect performance and support for all modern features from this phone. But the "stuffing" is enough to freely talk and correspond with friends and family.
The phone is running Series 40 5th Edition. The menu can be configured in four modes. You can install new themes. The device supports mobile Internet. To do this, you can use the built-in browser.
Internal memory is not very much - only 30 MB. All this volume can be filled with personal data. If this is not enough, you can install a memory card up to 2 GB.
The phone can work with Bluetooth and a wide variety of universal communications. For example, network access, speakerphone, remote access, file transfer, phone book access, etc.
Programs
Nokia 7210 Supernova is a versatile phone. It has all the necessary applications. In the organizer you will find an alarm clock and a calendar, you can also mark tasks and leave notes here.
Also available to the user are a stopwatch, a voice recorder, a web browser, world time, a converter, a timer, a calculator and much more. For music lovers, there is an "MP3" player with a user-friendly interface. If you don't want to fill your memory with unnecessary files, you can use the radio to listen to music.
Those who like to play mobile fun will not be bored either. Here are three of the most popular puzzles that can "kill" time: Sudoku,Sea Battle and Snake.
Reviews
Nokia 7210 Supernova turned out to be a good phone. Of course, the demand for it now will be, perhaps, the smallest since its release. This is also due to the fact that many older people are now happy to switch to smartphones, because they support video communication with loved ones and help use instant messengers.
But it's undeniable that this is definitely a solid model for those who want to get a push-button phone. Nokia 7210 Supernova received positive reviews.
Users commented on the interesting design and good build quality. We were satisfied with the screen size and its reliability. The workspace was comfortable to use: the buttons were medium in size, so misclicks were rare.
The phone works for a long time. For example, in normal mode, it can last 3-5 days without recharging. If you want to listen to music, you can do it for 19 hours. Things are worse with active conversations. The phone can be discharged in 2.5 hours of continuous communication.
Speak negatively about the quality of the pictures taken by the camera. The case received rather peculiar colors, which not many people liked. The lack of a volume rocker upset some.
