Choose a mobile phone with a camera

Model Nokia X3 came out in late 2009 and for a relatively short time spent on the shelves has become quite popular, despite the fact that the device does not shine cool "twists".
Good assembly, quality materials, metal inserts, youth design make the phone quite reliable slider for appearance. At the ends of the phone, you can find a rocker volume control, a photo or video call button, a memory card slot, a charger, standard headphones and a USB connector. The stereo speakers located at the top and bottom of the phone are made of metal, but they are a little later.
The front side of the phone is crowned with colored plastic inserts, one of which is represented by the keys for controlling the music player and radio receiver.
The keyboard of the device is made of a single sheet of metal, a relatively small size. The keys are separated by silicone strips and have a white backlight. The navigation keys are, unfortunately, made of glossy plastic. Despite the march, it's nice to press the keys and control the phone with their help quite comfortably.

The Nokia X3 screen is the usual two-inch TFT screen for 262,000-color phones with a 240-by-320 extension for public sector phones. Of course, this reduces the image quality. In this case, the viewing angles are quite impressive, but when the screen is rotated, the brightness decreases and the color inversion occurs. In the sun, the image loses color, but the numbers and time remain well marked.

The "inner world" of the phone is built on the S40 platform. Therefore, the phone has five menu design themes, usual for this platform.
Already looking at the appearance of the phone, you can immediately understand that the model Nokia X3 is musical. When you press the pause / play button, music from the player or the frequency from the radio almost immediately starts playing. You can switch the melody or frequency with the help of two other music keys - forward and backward. These three keys of the phone can become a particular burden if you do not turn on the key lock, as pressing these keys can happen even in your pocket, and this can become an undesirable disturbance of peace on a pair, lesson or meeting.

The music player is standard. May have its own theme of registration or have a view of the current theme of the phone. In the menu of the phones, you can find a five-band equalizer, with which you can set the sound "for yourself." The sound is quite loud, thanks to two stereo speakers, but the sound quality is far from the best.

The radio receiver can be tuned by automatic search of frequencies, the catalog of stations. Here you can also set two themes - standard or active.

The device has a three-megapixel camera with a photo extension of 2048 x 1536. Among the settings, you can select only four times the zoom, timer, few effects, white balance settings and portrait mode. The maximum video resolution is 176 x 144. It is important to note that with a discharged battery the camera does not work.

The internal menu does not represent anything special. It can be noted except that a customizable desktop for 4 strips, where you can leave links for notifications, quick programs, games or folders. It is necessary to highlight the image viewing menu: pictures and photos can be viewed in normal mode, landscape mode, flash card mode and time mode.

The standard browser of the phone can be noted, perhaps, only the ability to play videos from various sites in it, for example, YouTube.

The organizer of the phone includes Bluetooth, an alarm clock, a voice recorder, a stopwatch, a timer, a calendar, notes and a calculator. The calculator has three modes: normal, scientific and credit. With the help of a scientific calculator, you can solve examples with mathematical, trigonometric functions and degrees.

As for the applications, the phone has preinstalled maps with the option of route routing, OVI shop, Opera for Internet, Internet search, Fasebook applications, Flikr. In addition to these applications, there are also converters and world clocks.

Summarizing all of the above, we can say that the budget mobile phone Nokia X3 is a fairly successful low-cost model in the modern mobile phone market, designed for both young people and the adult business generation. Interesting, non-evocative design, good build quality, good, sometimes spotted materials, average functionality, camera, sound and cost will allow the model to stay on the market, I think, for about another ten years. And for those who are looking for an inexpensive simple phone, and not a phone-computer - Nokia X3 will obviously like it.
