Touch screen S60! Nokia arcade 5230 first evaluation

In early September, Nokia released a new Nokia 5230XM for the low-end market. This phone can be said to be an important addition to Nokia's product line. Nokia 5230 in appearance with the 5800 can be said to be exactly the same, but this time played a color shell, the first batch of a total of 5 colors for users to choose. Of course, its biggest highlight is the low price, the price is only 149 euros, that is, the price will be below 1,500 yuan, the following is a look at this new machine, what's the difference.

The same appearance as the 5800, different colors

Although the Nokia 5800 is Nokia's "test water" model on the S60 touch system, but the high price/performance ratio makes it very popular, and this time the 5230 is known as the 5800 low-profile version. The 5800 has exactly the same shape, including dimensions, details, and weight. There is a clear difference between the shell material and the color. The 5230 has a slightly heavier plastic feel, but the frontal silver border looks more avant-garde. Feel 5230 will be slightly different from the 5800, but it will not make people feel that cutting corners.

Nokia 5230 appearance is the biggest feature is the color, the back of the color shell can be free to replace, Nokia released at the beginning of the 5230 announced five colors available for consumer choice, the latter part of the sale is expected to gradually introduce more colors for consumers to choose.

Nokia 5230 in the details of the design with the 5800 is really no change, so I will not go into details here, but not familiar with the 5800's friends can also find out, after all, the 5230's headphone jack, USB interface, memory card slots are all Standard universal.

Standby capacity

The battery used by the Nokia 5230 is the same as the 5800, and the 1320 mA BL-5J battery has a good standby capability. During the evaluation period, about 100 SMS messages are sent and received during the evaluation period (blessing messages during the National Day Mid-Autumn Festival: P), and 1 hour of music playback. 1 hour GPS map navigation, 30 minutes of calls, and other frequent operations, 5230 can also adhere to a little more than 2 days of standby time, slightly stronger than the 5800.
