  Nokia X6 16GB Video Review  Nokia X6 16GB Deals (13304)

The Nokia X6 16GB is the latest offering from the mobile phone manufacturing giant. The device is slated to release by the first quarter of 2010 and this time it comes without music. Unlike Nokia X6 that is available in the market with a tag of “Comes with music”, Nokia X6 16GB does not feature extraordinary music features. As the name suggests, Nokia X6 16GB includes a 16 GB memory in place of 32 GB memory that is available with the older model by the similar name. So, it has less 16 GB memory and also low price compared to its predecessor. Therefore, this handset makes a good choice for the mobile phone users that want to invest in a feature-rich mobile phone with affordable price.

If you want to purchase this mobile phone, you will definitely get a good deal at low price. The handset runs on Symbian S60 5th Edition and boasts up to 11.5 hours talk time and 18 days of stand by time. A capacitive screen, OVI connectivity support, and 5 mega pixel camera are some of the major highlights of the mobile phone. Nokia X6 16GB is expected to arrive in the market by the first quarter of 2010.

Nokia X6 16GB Review - Memory

There is no need to specifically mention the importance of good memory support in a mobile phone. Only good memory back up can support the requirements of the users regarding the usage of diverse applications in the mobile phone. The older version of the X6 mobile phone from Nokia includes 32 GB internal memory, which is huge. With such a memory support, there is not any necessity to have an added card slot for expanding the memory further. All the fabulous multimedia features and gaming applications are well integrated in the handset. However, Nokia X6 16GB has cut down the 50 percent of its internal memory, and it provides 16 GB internal storage and 128 MB RAM. There are no expandable memory slots in the Nokia X6 16GB as well, but 16 GB memory feature is not bad at all.

Nokia X6 16GB - Network and Connectivity

The mobile phone is supportive of both 2G and 3G networks. The 2G network is supportive of the quad band GSM such as 850/ 900/ 1800/ 1900. On the other hand, the 3G network supports tri band HSDPA 900/ 1900/ 2100. With the power of 3G HSDPA, the browsing speed will be good in the mobile phone. Also, there is WLAN Wi Fi support that also ensures good browsing experience. Apart from good network features, proper connectivity is also required in today's scenario. Data accessibility is conducted with Class 12 GPRS and EDGE and the transfers take place at a good speed. Nokia X6 16GB is supportive of Bluetooth® services and hence the users can send and receive data without any wire connectivity like USB. However, USB connectivity is also available in the handset.

Nokia X6 16GB Review – Display

Many people want to purchase mobile phones considering the sheer attractiveness of the handset. No matter what brilliant features the phone comes loaded with, if it is not a good looking device then a good number of customers will get reduced. A lot is dependent on the first impression of the buyer and Nokia seems to have understood that very well. Off late, most of the Nokia devices are extremely attractive like the one called Nokia 5235 Comes With Music. Nokia X6 16GB also looks stunning, though it has striking resemblance with the older version of X6 32GB phone. The biggest highlight in terms of the looks is probably the numerous colour variants that this new mobile phone comes with. You can choose your handset from striking range of colours such as black, white, blue, and pink.

Now, let's get on to the display features of the mobile phone. Nokia X6 16GB combines 3.2 inches TFT capacitive touch screen that boasts 16 million colours and a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels. The beautiful and large touch screen is scratch resistant, and it includes accelerometer sensor for auto rotate and proximity sensor for auto turn off.

Nokia X6 16GB - Camera

Camera plays a big part these days while purchasing a mobile phone. The importance of camera features greatly affects the purchasing decision of the buyers. In this aspect, Nokia X6 16GB scores brilliantly. Nokia X6 16GB provides a 5 mega pixel camera that can click images with the resolution of 2592 x 1944pixels. The camera is combined with Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED flash, auto focus, and video light. Geo tagging feature is also integrated in the camera. Video recording is done at VGA @30fps and there is a secondary camera - QCIF @15fps. Overall, the camera feature is one of the biggest highlights of the Nokia X6 16GB.

Nokia X6 16GB Review - Music and video features

Though Nokia X6 has reduced the total memory capacity in the latest model, but it still offers decent set up for music. The music player is capable of playing different music formats such as WMA, WAV, RA, AAC, A4A, and MP3. Stereo FM with RDS is also featured in the handset. Apart from music, it supports diverse video files such as RV, WMV, MP4, and 3GP. Therefore, the users of the Nokia X6 16GB will get excellent entertainment features with the mobile phone.

Nokia X6 16GB - Battery

The Nokia X6 16GB features a BL-5J Li-Ion 1320 mAh battery. That can run up to 35 hours of music play and talk time up to 6 hours (3G) and 8h 30 minutes (2G). The stand by time is up to 420 hours for 3G and up to 401 hours for 2G.
