The Nokia X6 is a high end XpressMusic edition from Nokia. While other midrange music phones are performing well, the high end smart phone with excellent music features is welcomed by many users. The size of Nokia X6 is 111 x 51 x 13.8mm and weight is 122g. The Li-Ion 1320 mAh battery provides a standby time of 401 hours for 2G and 420 hours for 3G, talk time of 8 hours 30 minutes for 2G and 6 hours for 3G and music play time of 35 hours.
The design of Nokia X6 is made of plastic, which is disappointing for the high-end phone with high price. Below the large screen, there are three buttons, call, menu and end. The front panel hosts the video call camera at the top along with a few sensors.
The centerpiece of the Nokia X6 is its 3.2 inches HVGA capacitive touch screen with a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels and it can brightly display 16 million colors. The touch screen is supremely sensitive and it surpasses some midrange resistive touch screens too. Just a gentle touch is all that is required to swiftly activate the menus. However, the downside of the screen is that it has poor legibility under the sun.
There is a 5MP camera furnished with Carl Zeiss lens and dual LED flash at the back of Nokia X6. However, there are no some common features such as face detection, smile detection in Nokia X6 even though is is a high end phone. In addition, there is no lens cover to protect the camera.
The music player of the Nokia X6 is loaded with features, but the looks aren’t too flashy. There are five equalizer presets and you can always customize them depending on your preferences. You can reach the music player immediately through a dedicated key above the screen as well as run the player in the background. The Playlist DJ is a noteworthy feature that scans through your music library to create a playlist depending on the mood you have set. The music store is also a main part of the Nokia X6 and the video player performs well except for the lack of DivX or XviD. In addition, the FM radio with RDS enriches entertainment function.
The Symbian S60 5th edition user interface is much basic, except for the addition of the touch screen. Kinetic scrolling can be used inside interface for the file browser to web browser. The menus are centered on icons and there are scroll bars for icon menus. A full QWERTY keyboard will show up on the screen, when you set the Nokia X6 to landscape mode. Unfortunately, there is no auto ratotion of home screens when you change the orientation of the phone. The absence of widgets in the home screen means that you could only bring up the task manager to switch between tasks by pressing and holding menu keys.
The Nokia X6 has a fully featured phone book and you can use kinetic scrolling here too. Personal videos and ringtones can be assigned for contacts. Telephony is good in terms of voice quality, but there is no smart dialing feature even when voice dialing is present .
Nokia X6 supports all types of messages such as SMS, MMS and emails. They share a common editor. There is also a alphanumeric touch screen keyboard can be used for typing besides the QWERTY keyboard. The connectivity options are ample with support for 3G network too. The web browser is useful, but it could be more user friendly. Owing to the GPS receiver with lifetime City Explorer license and Ovi Maps, the Nokia X6 facilitate navigation during your travel.
