In 2011, the Nokia X2-02 replaced the X2-00 model . Unlike the previous device, the new mobile phone was not so balanced. About his strengths and weaknesses will be described in this material.
Screen and camera
As in the first, and in the second case, the diagonal of the display is 2.2 inches. Its resolution is 320 pixels by 240 pixels. The number of displayed colors is 65 thousand. This is quite enough for comfortable work on such a device. The type of matrix used is TFT. This technology is already outdated today, but at the time of the release of the device it was relevant. But with the camera, the absurdity turned out. If the predecessor had a 5 megapixel sensor and in this indicator X2-00 even now surpasses some entry-level smartphones, then Nokia X2-02 already uses 2 megapixels. It is not necessary to expect phenomenal quality from her. There is also the possibility of video recording in the format VZhA. But the quality of the shots also leaves much to be desired. So in this parameter the previous model looks more preferable than Nokia X2-02. Reviews of frustrated fans taking pictures with their phone all over the Internet are just another confirmation of this.
Mobile phone memory
Nokia X2-02 with a memory subsystem is doing well. The device itself is integrated 64 megabytes. But the user can only use a maximum of 10 of them. The rest is reserved by the system for its needs. In any case, you just can’t do without a memory card. MicroSD format flash drives with a maximum capacity of 32 GB are supported. Included with the phone is a 2 GB card. Its volume is quite enough for comfortable work. On it you can put photos, videos and music. If 2 GB is not enough for you, you will have to additionally purchase a drive for the device.
But what about the body
If the case of X2-00 was combined, made of plastic and metal, then the new model it was completely made of matte plastic. Therefore, you can not do without a cover and a sticker on the screen. Otherwise, after a year, after a maximum of 2, you will have to buy a new building. The following elements are located on the front side of the device: a speaker, a screen and a regular telephone keypad. On the back there is a camera and a loud speaker. On the right is a slot for installing a second SIM card. On the left, in turn, are a slot for a memory card and a play button for MP3 songs. Immediately it is worth noting one plus of such decisions by the designers of the Finnish company - without turning off the phone, you can replace both the 2nd SIM card and microSD drive. Now let's figure out how to disassemble the Nokia X2-02. If on the previous model of the phone there was a special latch that opened the back cover, then this phone does not have it. You just need to gently tear it on top with your fingernail. Underneath is a battery and a slot for installing the first SIM card.
Phone communications
An excellent set of communications Nokia X2-02. Reviews satisfied gadget owners on information resources confirm this. A round socket is displayed for charging the battery. A microUSB connector version 2.0 is provided for connecting to a computer. The last 3.5 mm jack is for connecting an external speaker system (speakers or headphones) to the device. A very mediocre stereo headset comes with the phone. Therefore, lovers of high-quality sound should buy headphones separately. Among wireless data transmitters, bluetooth version 2.0 can be distinguished. But Wi-Fi, infrared port and GPS are absent in this device. But given the capabilities and positioning of the device, this is not a big deal. The existing communication capabilities are enough for normal, comfortable work on the Nokia X2-02. Characteristics in this regard are quite acceptable. The review of Nokia X2-02 will be incomplete if software optimization is overlooked. According to the developers, if you use the built-in browser to view web pages, you can achieve significant traffic savings. At the same time, their download speed will increase.
Battery
Included with the phone is a battery with a capacity of 1020 milliamps / hours. In this regard, it cannot boast of something unusual against the background of similar devices from this manufacturer Nokia X2-02. The installation scheme is normal. They removed the back cover, installed the first SIM card, deployed the battery contacts to the contact group of the phone and installed. If the battery becomes unusable, then it can be easily replaced with a new one. But its capacity is enough with active use for 2-3 days. But this statement is true for the new battery. In a year or two, it will lose capacity. It will be enough for a day, for a maximum of two. When listening to music, one charge is enough for 10 hours of continuous listening. In general, this mobile phone cannot boast of anything special in terms of battery and battery life. But relatively recently, 1100 was released, which without problems stayed on one charge for 2 weeks.
To summarize
Some kind of ambiguous Nokia X2-02 turned out. Among the pluses, support for 2 SIM cards in alternate switching mode can be noted. Otherwise, this phone is worse than its predecessor X2-00. And the camera is worse (2 MP vs 5 MP), and the body is completely plastic, and the battery provides less battery life. If you add complaints about certain "glitches" with the software part, it becomes already very bad. And the answer to all these minuses is most likely hidden behind the name of the country of origin. If earlier this Finnish brand was made only in Europe (Finland, Germany, Hungary and Romania), now the main production capacities of Nokia have been transferred to India. As a result, the quality deteriorated rapidly. Now such a new phone is almost impossible to buy. Therefore, if you still decide to buy such a gadget, you will need to try very hard to find it.
