Nokia X100 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Nokia X100 is an expensive pseudo flagman

The Nokia company still remains in the hearts of a huge number of people around the world. The memory of smartphones based on Symbian OS does not allow the corporation to be forgotten, but the products it produces today raise many questions, most of which relate to the ratio of price and quality of products. So, the hero of today's review is closer to the flagship segment in terms of pricing, but in terms of functionality and performance, it lags behind similar gadgets.

The appearance of the novelty and the materials of its assembly raise questions. The ubiquitous plastic does not add strength and beauty, only a circular block of photo modules fits perfectly into the exterior. The fingerprint sensor has been moved to the side edging, its accuracy is usual for this type of sensors. The 6.67-inch OGS-panel looks weak against the background of the opponents' decisions. The refresh rate of 60 hertz is outdated, a not very bright picture has problems with visibility on a sunny day. But the displayed content will also not suffer from excessive brightness when working with a mobile assistant in pitch darkness.

The technical characteristics are disappointing. Although the Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 processor is the latest chip from this manufacturer, it is far from a top solution. Already, a number of demanding games will function with minimal graphics presets with jams in complex scenes. The reserve of gaming power for the future is reduced to zero. But the CPU is able to conquer with its energy efficiency and modest heating. The 4470mAh battery is enough for a confident day and a half of using an Android smartphone, which can be considered a good autonomy. The size of the ROM is not limited to 128 , there is also a hybrid slot for MicroSD cards .

The gadget falls short of the title of a camera phone due to the lack of optical stabilization in 48- (main photosensor), 5- (wide-angle lens) and 2-megapixel (portrait and macro camera) modules. As a result, smears will be quite common in evening shots, which is why some of the details are simply not visible in the resulting photos. But daytime footage will be great for one hundred percent probability. Improves the multimedia component of the device stereo sound, the advantages are replenished also due to contactless payments NFC . However, the previously mentioned disadvantages, coupled with the lack of moisture protection, wireless charging and a humane price tag, are unlikely to make the device relevant.
