Nokia N97 mini Latin America Review

Nokia N97 mini Latin America is a fair quality cellphone released in 2009, with a good processing unit speeding at 434 megahertz, a 5 megapixels back camera and a medium sized 3.2-inches display. But it's time to get into a bit more details.

This phone is a bit thick for current standards, being as thick as 0.56 inches. This device is 4.45 inches long, it just packs a much smaller 3.2 inches screen. This cellphone feels quite heavyweight for a cellphone of this size, with a weight of 4.87 oz.

The Nokia N97 mini Latin America comes with a quite powerful CPU ticking at 434 MHz and only 128 MB RAM memory. A good point of the Nokia N97 mini Latin America is its quite big 8 GB internal storage and a slot for an external memory card, enough to install a couple hundred apps without running out of space.

This cellphone is only equipped with a 5 MP back-facing camera. this cellphone's back-facing camera has a maximum f/2.8 aperture so it has serious difficulties taking good pictures in poor lighting conditions. It can also film 640x480 VGA videos at 30 fps. This camera also counts with flash.

This phone is equipped with a nice 640 x 360 3.2 inches screen, giving this phone a very good graphic quality. Its screen uses TFT resistive technology, but it can't detect multi touch gestures.

The Nokia N97 mini Latin America packs a poor 1200 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery, which is not really enough for a consuming phone like this. Nokia afirms this phone has a 7.2 hours talk time and a 320 hs stand by time.

This cellphone counts with wifi capability (although it can't be shared with other devices acting as a wireless modem) and 3G fast data connection, supported by HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This device uses a SIM card for GSM carriers.

This phone also features a couple of cool features like Bluetooth (2.0, EDR) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
