In 2011, Nokia X2-02 replaced the X2-00 model. Unlike the previous device, the new mobile phone turned out to be not so balanced. Its strengths and weaknesses will be discussed in this article.
Screen and camera
As in the first, and in the second case, the diagonal of the display is 2.2 inches. Its resolution is 320 pixels by 240 pixels. The number of displayed colors is 65 thousand. This is quite enough for comfortable work on such a device. The type of matrix used is TFT. This technology is already outdated today, but at the time of the release of the device, it was relevant. But with the camera, the absurdity turned out. If the predecessor had a 5 megapixel matrix and according to this indicator X2-00 even now surpasses some models of entry-level smartphones, then Nokia X2-02 already uses 2 megapixels. It is not necessary to expect phenomenal quality from it. There is also the possibility of video recording in VZHA format. But the quality of the recorded videos also leaves much to be desired. So, according to this parameter, the previous model looks more preferable than Nokia X2-02. Reviews upsetthose who like to take pictures with their phone all over the Internet are another confirmation of this.
Mobile phone memory
Nokia X2-02 is doing well with the memory subsystem. The device itself has 64 megabytes integrated. But here the user can use only 10 of them at most. The rest is reserved by the system for its needs. In any case, you simply cannot do without a memory card. MicroSD flash drives with a maximum capacity of 32 GB are supported. The phone comes with a 2 GB card. Its volume is quite enough for comfortable work. You can put photos, videos and music on it. If 2 GB is not enough for you, you will have to purchase an additional drive for the device.
What about the body
If the X2-00 case was combined, made of plastic and metal, then the new model had it completely made of matte plastic. Therefore, you cannot do without a cover and a sticker on the screen. Otherwise, in a year, a maximum of 2, you will have to buy a new case. The following elements are located on the front side of the device: a speaker, a screen and a regular telephone keypad. On the back side there is a camera and loudspeaker. On the right is a slot for installing a second SIM card. On the left, in turn, there is a slot for a memory card and a button for playing MP3 songs. It is immediately worth noting one plus of such solutions by the designers of the Finnish company - without turning off the phone, you can replace both the 2nd SIM card and the microSD drive. Now let's figure out how to disassemble Nokia X2-02. If the previous model of the phone had a special latch that opened the back cover, then this phone does not have it. You just need to gently undermine it with your fingernail from above. Under it is the battery and a slot for installing the first SIM card.
Phone communications
The Nokia X2-02 has an excellent set of communications. Reviews of satisfied gadget owners on information resources confirm this. There is a round socket for charging the battery. To connect to a computer, a MicroUSB connector version 2.0 is provided. The last 3.5 mm jack is for connecting an external speaker system (speakers or headphones) to the unit. The phone comes with a very mediocre stereo headset. Therefore, lovers of high-quality sound should buy headphones separately. Among the wireless data transmitters, bluetooth version 2.0 can be distinguished. But Wi-Fi, infrared port and GPS are absent in this device. But given the capabilities and positioning of the device, there is nothing to worry about. The existing communication capabilities are quite enough for normal, comfortable work on the Nokia X2-02. The characteristics in this regard are quite acceptable. The Nokia X2-02 review will be incomplete if you lose sight of the software optimization. According to the assurances of the developers, if you use the built-in browser to view web pages, you can achieve significant savings in traffic. At the same time, their download speed will increase.
Battery
The phone comes with a 1020 milliamp/hour battery. In this regard, Nokia X2-02 cannot boast of something unusual against the background of similar devices from this manufacturer. The scheme of its installation is usual. They removed the back cover, installed the first SIM card, turned the battery contacts to the contact group of the phone and installed it. If the battery becomes unusable, it can be easily replaced with a new one. But its capacity is enough with active use for 2-3 days. But this statement is true for a new battery. In a year or two, it will lose its capacity. It will already be enough for a day, a maximum of two. When listening to music, one charge is enough for 10 hours of continuous listening. In general, this mobile phone cannot boast of something special in terms of battery and battery life. But relatively recently, the 1100 was released, which lasted 2 weeks on a single charge without any problems.
Summarize
Nokia X2-02 turned out to be somewhat unambiguous. Among the pluses, one can note the support for 2 SIM cards in the alternate switching mode. Otherwise, this phone is worse than its predecessor X2-00. And the camera is worse (2 MP vs 5 MP), and the body is completely plastic, and the battery provides less battery life. If you add complaints about certain "glitches" with the software part, then it becomes really bad. And the answer to all these disadvantages, most likely, is hidden behind the name of the manufacturing country. If earlier this Finnish brand was made only in Europe(Finland, Germany, Hungary and Romania), now the main production facilities of Nokia have been transferred to India. As a result, the quality deteriorated rapidly. Now such a phone is almost impossible to buy new. Therefore, if you still decide to buy such a gadget, then you will need to try very hard to find it.
