Nokia has become famous for its quality Symbian smartphones. Today, of course, this platform is quite outdated, and Android has come to replace it. However, there are many users who are accustomed to the functionality of Symbian and the reliability of these phones. One of the most famous models working on this platform is the Nokia 6630, which was released more than ten years ago. Today we will consider its characteristics and find out whether it is worth buying such a phone.
Design
The smartphone looks quite unusual. The case of Nokia 6630 is rounded at the bottom, which adds extra comfort when using. The expanded area allowed developers to customize the keys, but it’s convenient to press them. On the back side is the camera eye, there is a bezel that protects it from scratches. At the very top there is a company logo, and at the bottom - a button to remove the cover.
The top end of the Nokia 6630 is occupied by a speaker for conversation and speakerphone. At the bottom is the port for charging the device. The left side has a button for voice input (it is also used to turn on the speakerphone during a call). On the right side there is a power button and a slot for memory cards (MMS). A stub is used, upon opening which the power to the card is turned off, applications are closed, and a message about removal appears on the display.
At the top of the front panel of the Nokia 6630 there is an interesting thing. At first, it can be taken as an LED for event notification. In fact, this is a light meter. It measures the light and adjusts the brightness of the keyboard backlight. The feature is useful, but it works quite slowly.
The Nokia 6630 keyboard is made large and comfortable thanks to its space. You don’t have to get used to the new location of the send and cancel buttons, which are now on the sides. The keys are pressed nicely and do not cause rejection. Some people have to get used to the behavior of the four-position control key, which often causes not what is needed.
Screen
It is worth saying right away that some smartphones have a ragged display. This problem has already occurred in other models of Nokia phones. This model is made by TFT technology, the resolution is 176x208 pixels. Color reproduction is at a high level, the screen does not glare in the sun, the viewing angles are quite wide, which is enough for comfortable work.
Platform
Platform 60, edition 2, the second update package - these are the characteristics of the Nokia 6630 system. The firmware manual (jaf file) is on the manufacturer’s website and other smartphone resources. The new system brought great opportunities, thanks to which the developers managed to create such a functional device. Here are just a few updates:
- support for third-generation networks;
- video call function;
- the ability to transfer documents from the phone to the server;
- highlighting links and numbers in messages;
- Burst shooting
Camera
The device has a 1.3 megapixel camera, which certainly will not satisfy the needs of the modern user. The module lens is not protected. There is a plastic insert that protects the camera from scratches and dust. Everything is not fixed very securely, even with a slight touch you can feel the backlash. The camera will only fit for shooting close objects. Photos are taken with noise and not very detailed.
Memory
The Nokia 6630 phone , whose characteristics are unlikely to surprise anyone, received only 10 MB of internal memory. This volume was not enough even 10 years ago, let alone the present time, when many cheap smartphones are equipped with 8 GB. The developer focused on memory cards, which can be purchased separately.
Autonomy
The battery is installed at 950 mAh. The manufacturer claims 6 hours of talk time and up to 250 hours of standby time. With an average load, the phone can work up to 3 days. The autonomy of the model is much higher than previous models. A full charge of the device does not exceed 2 hours.
Conclusion
Nokia 6630 has turned out quite good. Of course, for that time. The phone has a good speaker volume, quite powerful vibration. The autonomy of the work, which allows you to stay in touch for a long time, did not disappoint. Today, such a device is likely to be interesting only to fans of the company. Despite the functionality, the model is very outdated. The user will not be able to comfortably use the Internet or familiar applications.
