Large company Nokia has been supplying modern and functional mobile phones to store shelves for a long time. The line includes classic models, sliders, clamshells, smartphones. It is worth noting that the manufacturer has developed shockproof and waterproof options, as well as musical ones. The Nokia 5200 phone belongs to the latter. The model is positioned as a youth device.
Most often, only top expensive devices are equipped with a high-quality player. However, Nokia made an exception by introducing a budget model on the market. It was possible to keep the price low due to the rejection of some elements. The model with the index 5200 has a display with a low resolution, the camera is only 0.3 Mp, there are no additional player buttons.
Does this equipment suit the buyer? It is impossible to answer unambiguously, since this moment is purely individual. Considering that the cost of the device is much lower than $100, then such content can be sacrificed in favor of the quality of the reproduced sound. Butthe musical model should be, above all, loud.
