Nokia C5 Review

Design

The Nokia C5 has simple, attractive design and looks decent. We are impressed with the build quality and look of the C5. The body is made from large number of metal parts. It measures 112mm tall, 46mm wide and 12.3mm thick. It weighs around 89grams and weight is perfectly balanced.

The C5 sports 2.2inch QVGA display, which has the resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and supports 16 million colors. The image quality is average and sun legibility is very poor. We don’t have any gripes with it, taking price as consideration.

The buttons are really nice. The buttons are large, well made and offer proper travel and well feed back. The typing is very easy on this alphanumeric keyboard. The qwerty keyboard could have been still great. The navigation array include 5 way Navigational toggle, two soft keys, a Call, end, clear and application keys.

The 3.5mm audio jack, microUSB ports and charger are on the top sideof the device. The battery cover is made from metal and easy to remove. A volume rocker and a microSD card slot are present on the right spine.

Interface

The Nokia C5 runs on the Symbian S60 3rd edition. It is almost same as other Symbian Nokia phones like Nokia 5630 XpressMusic. The phonebook is interface with social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. Any updates from your friends in Facebook will notify directly on the home screen along with the particular contacts. You can customize your favorite contacts and then you access them directly on the home screen with one press of a button.

Connectivity & Internet

You can transfer the data through Bluetooth with A2DP or USB. You can stream audio to Bluetooth headset wirelessly. You can surf the internet through GPRS. There is no GPRS and Wi-Fi. The data transfer speed is enhanced with the EDGE support.

It also features Nokia Messaging support that handles multiple email accounts with ease. You can quickly switch between the email accounts directly within the application. It supports popular email accounts like Gmail, Ovi Mail, Hotmail, Yahoo mail, Windows Live and other email accounts. The C5 is nicely integrated with various social networking sites like Facebook, Hi5, Youtube, MySpace and Twitter. It also supports Instant Messaging for Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, and “Windows Live Messenger”. The C5′s web browser supports full HTML and Flash lite v3.1.

Camera

Like Nokia 5630 XpressMusic, the Nokia C5 is also equipped with 3.2 megapixel camera with flash and Full focus. In Full focus, the technology ensures the objects will remain in focus. The interface include 4x zoom, panorama mode, color tones, manual exposure settings, scene modes, Photo editor, simple video editor, light sensitivity modes, Red Eye Removal, and White Balance. It can shoot 640×480 pixel videos at 15fps.

The image is quite good. The images look bright, crisp and colorful with good detail. The video quality is average with less bright. The Flash is not strong enough to take good pictures in dark conditions.

It has 50MB of internal memory and you can add microSD card up to 16GB.

Multimedia

The music player’s interface is simple and convenient to operate. The music player supports all popular audio and video formats. The built-in equalizer boosts the sound effect. You can also download and listen the songs from Nokia Music. You can filter the songs with Genre, artist, and name. You all get FM Radio with RDS feature. The sound quality in headphones and as well in loudspeaker is clear and louder. There is a 3.5mm audio jack for connecting headphones.

GPS

The Nokia C5 scores more over other rivals as it supports A-GPS and has free life time navigation subscription for Ovi Maps. . It will locate your current position on the Map within matter of few seconds, thanks to A-GPS feature. You will also get details about the restaurants, landmarks, and other POIs. It also includes the extra features like Michelin and Lonely Planet that offer tips on sightseeing spots.

Other Applications

The other essential features of the Nokia C5 include Mobile Search,  a timer, Calendar, To-do list, Note pad, unit & currency Converter, voice recorder, a world clock, vibrate mode, Calculator, a 1000 entry phonebook,  Voice commands, Flight mode, text, audio & multimedia messaging, message reader and speaker phone.

You will also get access to Ovi Files, Ovi Suite, and Ovi Share. You can also back up your contacts with the help of Ovi Contacts. It has two built-in games namely Brain Challenge and Bounce Tales.

Performance and Conclusion:

The Nokia C5 is powered by snappy 600MHz processor and 128MB and this is more than sufficient for the Smartphone to carry out its functionality without any lag. The call quality is good and callers on other end also doesn’t have problem though there was some minor issues with sharpness in the sound.

The Nokia C5 is powered by 1050mAh Lithium Ion battery. It has the rated battery life of 12hours of talk time (2G), 4.9 hours talktime (3G), 630 hours of standby time (2G) and 670 hours (3G). The battery life is excellent in this category.
