Nokia X6 Review– A Power Packed Entertainment Gadget
The Nokia X6 is a high end XpressMusic edition from Nokia. While other midrange music phones are performing well, the high end smart phone with excellent music features is welcomed by many users. The Nokia X6 has dimensions of 111 x 51 x 13.8mm with weight of 122g. The Li-Ion 1320 mAh battery provides a standby time of 401 hours for 2G and 420 hours for 3G, talk time of 8 hours 30 minutes for 2G and 6 hours for 3G and music play time of 35 hours.
The design of Nokia X6 is made of plastic, which is disappointing for the high-end phone with high price. Below the large screen, there are three buttons, call, menu and end. The front panel hosts the video call camera at the top along with a few sensors.
The centerpiece of the Nokia X6 is its 3.2 inches HVGA capacitive touch screen with a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels and it can brightly display 16 million colors. The touch screen is supremely sensitive and it surpasses some midrange resistive touch screens too. Just a gentle touch is all that is required to swiftly activate the menus. However, the downside of the screen is that it has poor legibility under the sun.
At the back of Nokia X6, you will find a 5MP camera with Carl Zeiss lens and dual LED flash. However, there is no lens cover to protect the camera. Even though the Nokia X6 is a high end phone, features like face detection, smile detection and others are not present. The Video recording quality at VGA or screen resolution is good.
The music player of the Nokia X6 is loaded with features, but the looks aren’t too flashy. There are five equalizer presets and you can always customize those depending on your preferences. A dedicated media key above the screen gets to the music player immediately and you can run the player in the background. The Playlist DJ is a noteworthy feature that scans through your music library to create a playlist depending on mood you have set. The music store is also an integral part of the Nokia X6. The video player provides good video watching experience, but there is no DivX or XviD support. The FM radio with RDS makes entertainment a package complete.
The Symbian S60 5th edition user interface is pretty much basic, except for the addition of the touch screen. Kinetic scrolling can be used inside interface for the file browser to web browser. The menus are centered on icons and there are scroll bars for icon menus. When you turn the Nokia X6 to landscape mode, you will find a full QWERTY keyboard on the screen. However, there is no auto rotation of home screens when you change the orientation of the phone. The home screen too lacks widgets as they are meant for the N series mobile phones from Nokia. By pressing and holding menu keys, you can bring up the task manager which is useful for switching between tasks.
The Nokia X6 has a fully featured phone book and you can use kinetic scrolling here too. Personal videos and ringtones can be assigned for contacts. Telephony is good in terms of voice quality, but there is no smart dialing feature even when voice dialing is present.
All types of messages, such as SMS, MMS and emails are supported by the Nokia X6 and they share a common editor. Aside from the QWERTY keyboard, you can also use the alphanumeric touch screen keyboard. The connectivity options are ample with support for 3G network too. The web browser is useful, but it could be more user friendly. The Nokia X6 has a GPS receiver with lifetime City Explorer license and Ovi Maps to make navigation simple and easy.
