hey everyone this is Tony from pocketnow.com the Nokia x7 is an entertainment phone at least that's what the finished manufacturer calls it or likes to call it it's been released just a couple of weeks ago together with Symbian Anna it will be shipping out of the box with the new Symbian platform and today we're going to take a look at the hardware specifications build quality and we'll compare it to some popular smartphones on the market Makia is known for using top-notch built quality materials and the finishing touches with smartphones and the Nakia x7 isn't much different from the Nokia trend they have managed to build over time a standard in terms of quality and in terms of delivering top-tier hardware let's see what the Nokia x7 which we got here features first of all it's a pretty lightweight smartphone it feels very good in hand and the materials used are very very good quality I didn't manage to see any squeaking sounds at all it feels rock solid it's got some rounded edges around the corner and it makes it feel even even more thinner in the hand let's compare it to the iPhone 4 for instance as you can see it's a little bit thicker at the middle but because it's got those rounded edges it feels to be a little bit thinner let's see how it compares to the HTC Desire they're roughly the same pretty much the same in terms of height it's definitely higher dollar and again let's see it's almost compared to the iPhone 4 yes it's definitely taller but the screen is also bigger and let's take a classic let's take the HTC hd2 they're quite about the same it's almost and thickness so hardware-wise the nokia has a speaker grille at the top and on the left and on the right side you will find your sensors for proximity and light there's not much else on the top we got a four inch AMOLED screen which if you can see turns to blue which is classic for AMOLED screens if you take a look at the screen from a certain angle it's got four inches in diagonal and it uses an HD resolution which is pretty much common for Nokia smartphones it's got 360 pixels across and 640 down on the bottom we got our menu button which is good for bringing up your menu while in the operating system or double-clicking it will bring up the multitasking features on the right side we've got the volume rockers for volume up and volume down which got pretty good feedback to them and what's best we've got a hardware camera button which can be used to access directly the camera application so wherever you are if you hold the camera button it will go into the camera mode and you can also snap a picture or start recording a video with this button at the bottom we got nothing but a microphone hole at the back we'll see the eight megapixel camera which is not your 12 megapixel carl zeiss optics camera on the na but it's a pretty solid camera as you can see the camera post it's got 8 megapixels in sensor size and it's got a dual LED flash which Nakia calls a third-generation dual LED flash the Nokia branding and the model number also you can see here you've got a microphone hole so if you're hoarding holding your smartphone like this while you are recording something it will also pick up the sounds from the back as well as from from the bottom and here comes the tricky part because this smartphone doesn't have a detachable backplate you cannot replace the battery or access the battery which is by the way of 1200 milliamp hours according to the nokia specifications you will have to access your microSD card as well as your SIM card from these two slots which I personally find a little bit awkward now if you slide your finger all the way down until this dot here then the top will pop up you will have to grab that top part and somehow force the trade to come out with with the SIM card and you can do exactly the same for accessing the micro SD card which is by the way included and it's an 8 gigabyte micro SD card other specifications include a 350 megabyte internal storage which according to some is a little bit too less but the operating system handles itself very well and of course you've got the a gigabyte pre-installed micro sd card which can be upgraded to 32 gigabytes if you have many pictures videos or other content which you might want to store in other terms at the at the top you've got your micro USB charging port and also syncing port you've got your 3 port but 3.5 I'm sorry I never get this right 3.5 millimeter headphone jack and your power button which is a little bit angled but it's it's great if you access it like this it's got a nice sense to it so you can puppet anytime let's take a look at the first boot on the malkia x7 with Symbian Anna and we're back and let's start the device to see its first boot it will take a couple of minutes so we will come back and get back to the device once it finished booting up so here we are back let's try to boot this baby for the first time and see how long it gets for it to boot if it takes too long we'll just cut out and get back to the device once you finish loading so here we have it it's a white screen for now let's see that typical Nokia and shaking helping logo and we're back still loading and their tanake logo and not far from now we'll see the Nokia logo being followed by the Windows Phone logo since Nakia and Microsoft announced their partnership back in February but let's get back to the x7 and Symbian Anna let's select our language which is English and it straight from the start wants to connect us to OB Nokia we have a Nakia account and it's thinking it's trying to connect but we have no data connections your Wi-Fi router set up so we can expect the AEF an error to be displayed here we go we don't want to transfer anything at the moment let's get to the operating system let's skip this and let's get this - and this is your typical Symbian home screen it's got also sliding screens like you'd be experiencing out of android smartphone at the moment it's got three and you can toggle between them with this button here but we won't take a closer look at the operating system when we was you are full software review so this was the Nokia x7 Hardware tour and first move this was has been denied front pocket never come thank you very much for watching and it can take this video please give it a thumbs up you
