Nokia Goes Official with Nokia X7

Today, Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia has introduced a new flavor of its Symbian OS, dubbed Symbian Anna, which powers a new, though long rumors handset from the company the Nokia X7.

This is the first entertainment mobile phone in Nokia's lineup to boast a 4-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display (640 x 360 pixels), made of Corning Gorilla Glass, the company notes.

The new mobile phone was meant to offer a great entertainment experience to all users, the company notes, adding that gaming or video playback are only some of the main features of the new device.

“Made from toughened glass and seamless stainless steel, it offers a unique and durable design that will stand out from the crowd,” the company notes.

“Offering all the benefits of the latest Symbian operating system, Symbian Anna, it’s a fast and fluid experience from browsing the web to scrolling through your music collection.”

The mobile phone also comes with an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with dual LED flash and 720p video recording capabilities, as well as with a 1200mAH battery that can offer up to 450 hours of standby and 4.5 hours of talktime on 3G.

The new device comes with up to 350MB built-in operating memory, complemented by a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space, with an 8GB card included into the mix.

The Nokia X7 measures 119.7 x 62.8 x 11.9mm, while being thinner at the edges, and weighing in at 146 grams. The specifications list of this device also includes Pentaband 2G/3G network connectivity, along with Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

“As you would expect, the Nokia X7 comes with free walk-and-drive navigation through the latest Ovi Maps,” the company continues.

“There’s messaging through Nokia Email and you can connect to Facebook, Twitter and RenRen (in China) using Nokia Social. It comes with Galaxy on Fire HD and Asphalt 5 HD preinstalled. And there’s thousands more great games and apps on Ovi Store.”

The mobile phone maker also announced that the new Nokia X7 is expected to become available for purchase on the market during the second quarter of the ongoing year, featuring a price tag of €380 taxes and operator subsidies.
