Nokia N97 mini Review

Score: 45.1 / 100

Nokia N97 mini is a mid level Symbian device released many years ago, packed with a 5 mega-pixels back-facing camera, a powerful CPU clocking at 434 MHz and a medium 3.2-inches display. Let's take a closer view of what this device can do.

Nokia decided to build this cellphone using a quite powerful 434 megahertz processing unit with only 128 MB RAM. An interesting aspect of this device is its big 8 GB internal storage memory and an SD memory card expansion slot, which allows you to install hundreds of applications without any problem.

Nokia forgot about weight optimization in this 4.87 ounces cellphone, much heavier than other similar devices. This device isn't a compact cellphone, taking into account that it is 4.45 inches long,but it only packs a 3.2" screen. This cellphone is a bit thick for current standards, with its 0.56 inches thickness.

The Nokia N97 mini includes a good looking 3.2" display with a 640 x 360 resolution, providing this cellphone with a very nice image quality. This display uses TFT resistive technology, but it's not multi-touch.

This phone only has a 5 MP back facing camera. this phone's back facing camera has a 2.8 aperture so it struggles to take nice photographs in poor lighting environments. It also films videos up to 640x480 (VGA) at 30 frames per second. This phone also includes flash and auto-focus.

This cellphone packs a 1200 mAh small capacity Li-Ion replaceable battery, which is quite poor for a demanding phone like this. According to Nokia, the Nokia N97 mini has a reported 320 hs stand by time and a 7.2 hs talk time.

The Nokia N97 mini features Wi-Fi connectivity (although it can't be shared with other devices acting as a modem or router) and 3G fast connection type, over HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Nokia N97 mini works with a SIM card to use GSM services.

The Nokia N97 mini also features a couple interesting characteristics like Bluetooth (enables communication with other cellphones and accessories) and GPS, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The Nokia N97 mini is priced around $ 225, high for a phone this level.
