Nokia X6 is a Chinese smartphone that has become quite popular. Rather, the device itself is not Chinese, but Finnish. Nevertheless, if we take into account the fact that the Celestial Empire currently has a decent package of documents that allow the manufacture of certain phones on its territory, then everything will immediately fall into place.
The Nokia X6 8GB case is a separate issue, and a special paragraph will be devoted to it in the article. There are some nuances associated with this part of the apparatus. Meanwhile, we note that the device was available for purchase in cellular stores in three variations. The first is just the same model with 8 GB of built-in long-term memory. The second variation is a model with 16 GB. It would be logical to assume that the next model will be a device "on board" which is 32 gigabytes of long-term file storage. The rule of powers of two is on the alert, and indeed it is.
Package
Having opened the box in which this smartphone is sold, we can find in itthe device itself, an autonomous power supply to it (battery), a charger and a USB cable. Also includes wired headphones, instruction manual and voucher.
Design
The main material for making a phone is nothing but plastic. Perhaps it is simply impossible to unambiguously answer the question of what it is - a disadvantage or an advantage. Let's stop at the neutral option and move on for now to further consideration. Even at the development stage of the device, the manufacturer announced that metal elements would also be present. And, as we see, no one deceived us. The metal elements in the case are represented by stripes running along the sides of the phone.
Note that crash tests have been carried out more than once, which revealed that the frames on the sides of the device are indeed made of the appropriate materials. The screen is covered with special glass. Similar materials have been used to coat devices such as the iPhone and iPod. Again, if we go back to the crash tests, we can see that after the impact, the base seems to fall apart into separate parts. It is in connection with this that there is a feeling that the screen is covered with the most ordinary tempered glass.
Nevertheless, the Nokia X6 sensor, reviews of which make it possible to give a positive assessment to the phone, is supplemented with a special “flooring” on top that can be physically affected. Scratching it is easy enough. But ordinary glass will be difficult to damage. However, they are well aware of this.iPhone users. Cracks and scratches on the screens appear very, very slowly. However, it is not possible to handle the device in such a way that even the smallest damage is not found on the display during prolonged use. Is it possible to wrap the device itself with foam rubber, for example.
There is a slot above the screen. It is she who serves as a source of problems for many neat people. The fact is that because of this gap, dust constantly clogs under the screen. If you do not clean the device for at least two weeks, you can see its impressive layer. However, it is also not possible to completely clear everything from there. At least at home. Only specialists of the service center will be able to completely "knock out" the dust from under the screen of this device.
Front
On the front panel of the device, right above its screen, is the lens of an additional (as it is called, front) camera. We will not see touch buttons, since they are mechanical. In general, such a decision is always difficult to call negative. Mechanical buttons may be less familiar to younger generations, but they are much more durable than touch controls. Yes, and in this case, they are much more suitable for the phone, while with others there would be certain troubles.
Similar to the Nokia 5800 model, since there is a menu shortcut key. It is located on top of the screen and has a touch base. Nevertheless, speaking of buttons, let's not forget that these are just little things, the smallestitems.
Left side
The body of the Nokia X6 8GB, as mentioned earlier, is made mainly of plastic materials. Thus, the use of stubs acquires some special meaning. We see it on the left side of the device. The first thought that creeps into my head is probably about a memory card. However, it was not there. In fact, unfortunately, it should be noted that there are no memory cards in this model at all.
Thus, there are only two logical explanations for the presence of a plug on the left side: it covers either the charging port or the SIM card slot. In our case, the second option is correct. So, to replace the SIM-card, you do not have to turn off the device. But even with bare hands, the user is unlikely to be able to do anything. You need a tool, at least a handy one, with which you can pick up an old card. Tweezers are perfect for these purposes.
On the same side we can also see two speakers. The company's designers protected them with a metal mesh. Immediately, we note that the speakers on the phone are quite loud. If we compare the X6 and N97 models, then the first one clearly outperforms the competitor in this parameter.
Right side
On the right side of the device is a key that allows you to adjust the volume of the device itself, as well as the music or video being played. There is also a slider to help block the phone. There are a huge number of device models on the market that have a similar control dangling. However, not in the case ofour apparatus. Here it is deepened inside the body, which can be called a positive point. But, as the law of conservation of energy says, if there is any advantage, look for a disadvantage. In our case, this is the convenience of using the slider.
Upper face
The top end contains a connector designed to charge the phone's battery. This is a 2mm standard port. Not far from it, there is also a MicroUSB connector. By the way, this port, unlike the charger, is also hidden by a plug. But fans of MicroUSB chargers will have to be upset. There is no such device in the class at all. The logical conclusion of the picture was the 3.5 mm standard connector. It is designed to connect a wired stereo headset to your phone.
Rear panel
On the back side is the lens of the main camera. The rim protrudes noticeably forward. Erasing it will be easy enough. This will happen by itself within a few weeks of operation. But for a similar design of the apparatus, this is not something new. This is a kind of disadvantage. In the meantime, most experts are inclined to believe that such a shortcoming is quite expected, and therefore it would be better to write it in the category of expected losses.
Assembly problems
Many more users of this phone, according to polls, are annoyed by the poor assembly of the device: backlashes are observed, the back cover tends to creak at times. Whether this is due to its small thickness is unknown. Also cover withIt can loosen over time if it is often removed and put back. Without tension, snap it in all the grooves instantly will not work. Each corner must be compressed separately. A metal plate would have been much better.
Perhaps, these are the key moments in a superficial review of this phone model.
Price for Nokia X6 (depending on configuration) ranges from 4700 to 5400 rubles.
