Nokia 700 Review

The new Nokia 700 is a phone announced yesterday by Nokia. The Nokia 700 works on the latest operating system to be launched by Nokia- Symbian Belle. Nokia 500 was also very recently announced and the phone worked on Symbian Anna but this one and the few more phones like the new Nokia 600 and the Nokia 701 are also based on the new Symbian Belle platform. Symbian was always Nokia’s preferred choice for operating system and they had earlier announced that they were going to use the same platform for quite some time and also said that they were planning many phones based on the same. Well, it seems that they have kept their promise by announcing three Nokia smartphones on the same day.

The new Nokia 700 also known as Nokia Zeta has a 3.2 inches AMOLED capacitive touchscreen that has pixel resolution of 360×640. The phone looks amazing and is touted to be the world’s smallest smartphone ever. It is very true that is also very slim and sleek. This doesn’t mean that it compromises on the features it packs. Nokia 700’s touchscreen display promises supreme image clarity and the light sensors equipped on this phone automatically adjust according to the lighting in the surrounding to make the screen visible. Nokia 700 is powered by a 1 GHz single core ARM 11 processor and as I already said it works on the new Symbian Belle. The phone boasts of 512 MB RAM and 1 GB of ROM. Memory is abundant for this phone as you have the freedom to store up to 2 GB of all that you need on the internal memory. You can expand the memory up to 32 GB using microSD cards.

The Nokia 700 smartphone has a very smart and efficient camera as well. The 5 MP rear camera can take superb images and record videos at 720p HD at 30 fps. For the features this phone provide you everyone would think that this phone would consume a lot of battery but it is not so as this phone has a very good battery life of 8 hours of talk time and good music playback time and for video recording as well.

HTC Sensation XL Price

After a huge success of HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE, HTC has added another member into the family of Sensation- HTC Sensation XL. HTC Sensation XL was previously reported under the Runnymede codename. Somehow, we felt that this handset is similar to the recently launched HTC Titan. Same as HTC Titan it has identical thickness (0.39-inch), same Super LCD display which supports 800 x 480 resolution, and even the same 8 megapixel camera at the back.
HTC Sensation XL runs on Android Gingerbread OS and features a massive 4.6-inch Super LCD touchscreen display. The display is made up of Gorilla Glass Technology. HTC Sensation XL is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8255 1.5 GHz processor but is only single-core (Sensation XE was dual-core). By this, HTC Sensation XL gets a smaller battery (1600mAh) instead of 1730 mAh. Another reason behind this smaller battery can be thinness of XL which is 1.4mm than the XE. HTC Sensation XL has 16 GB of on-storage but it is non-expandable because there is no microSD card slot.

Samsung Galaxy Y

Samsung Galaxy Y is the latest Android Gingerbread OS smartphone which is packed with exciting features and provides full smartphone experience but with a low budget in mind. Samsung Galaxy Y is a simple and compact smartphone which measures 102.9 x 57.9 x 12.2 mm and weighs almost 96.8 grams and by this it is very easy to handle. The body of Samsung Galaxy Y is all plastic but the plastic is of good quality. Samsung Galaxy Y has a 3-inch TFT touchscreen QVGA resolution. The capacitive touchscreen is responsive and supports multi-touch. One thing which concerned me was the low image quality. Low resolution is also a factor but it also has poor viewing angles, low brightness and contrast.
Samsung Galaxy Y is equipped with a 2 megapixel camera but we didn’t find a single scratch or fingerprint protection for the camera lens which is quite a disappointment.
