Nokia 5230 Review

Nokia 5230 is a low-end Symbian cellphone launched back in the year 2009, packed with a 3.2 inches display, a 2 megapixels back side camera and a quite powerful 434 megahertz processor. Let's take a deeper sight of what this cellphone can give us.

Nokia equipped the Nokia 5230 with a good CPU clocking at 434 megahertz with as little as 128 MB of RAM. This device counts with a small 71,68 MB internal storage memory, which might be adequate for some users knowing that this cellphone also has a slot for an external memory card to store pictures and videos and even some apps that allow external memory installation.

This cellphone is a little bit thick for current standards, with its 0.61 inches thickness. This phone is 4.37 inches long, but it's only able to hold a smaller 3.2 inches display. It appears that Nokia forgot about optimizing the weight, releasing it with a 4.06 ounces weight.

The Nokia 5230 is only equipped with a 2 mega-pixels back camera. This cellphone can also film videos in VGA 640x480 at 30 frames per second.

Nokia designed the Nokia 5230 with a good looking 3.2-inches screen, and a resolution of 640 x 360 , which makes it hard to see the pixels that compose the screen. Its screen uses TFT resistive technology, but it can't detect multi touch gestures.

The Nokia 5230 packs a mid sized 1320 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery providing this cellphone with a quite short battery duration. This cellphone has an aproximate 7 hs talk time and a 438 hs stand by time.

This cellphone offers the fastest 3G connectivity, over HSDPA and UMTS technologies. The Nokia 5230 works with a SIM card for GSM carriers.

This phone also comes with a few cool characteristics like Bluetooth (2.0) and GPS Localization, and a few sensors likeProximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

This phone is not a good choice considering it is offerred for 110 dollars, while many similar cellphones cost much less than that.
