A Look Around The Brilliant Nokia X7

Nokia are probably the most established mobile phone manufacturer going, with hundreds of handsets produced over two decades.  In that time we have seen the firm release basic handsets, phones for the business users, devices that focus on design and top end models.  With the new X7 we see a handset that is very difficult to categorise.  Yes it is a smartphone but not one with jaw dropping specification and yes it is stylish but not so drastically different that people will buy on design alone.  It is one of those handsets that will appeal to a certain segment of the market and in this case that segments is the video users and gamers who want a powerful phone that offers HD capabilities.This high definition quality that we talk off can be achieved thanks to the X7 offering a high quality screen that can display an impressive resolution of 640 x 360 pixels with over 16 million colours thrown in to the equation as well.   Another big factor behind the quality of the screen is the use of AMOLED technology in this model when many of the phones rivals are opting for LCD.  The issue with LCD is that it offers poor viewing angles and viewing in sunlight thanks to its reliance upon a back light.  AMOLED is made up of hundred of tiny lights and thus offers improved viewing angles and better general performance, especially in bright conditions.  With a screen of this quality a great video playback package is essential to show it off to its full potential and the X7 certainly does not disappoint.  Amongst the wide array of video formats that are accepted is DivX, a format known for its high quality, alongside more well known codecs such as MP4 and xVid. The Nokia X7 is not only great for watching films and downloaded content, the large screen makes it ideal for watching television services direct from the net.  Using one of the many connection methods on offer, the handset can allow you to watch content from sites such as BBC iPlayer and CNN.  Another area of entertainment which is impressive is gaming, where thanks to the excellent online store provided users are spoilt for choice with a massive range of games available for download.  These cover all genres from classic games such as Monopoly to best sellers such as the Angry Birds series.  Actual performance on gaming is impressive with no noticable lag and the touchscreen seeming extremely responsive.The Nokia X7 will prove a huge hit with a younger audience whilst proving a good option for any other user looking for a middle of the road smartphone with modern looks and great features.The Nokia X7 and the Motorola Flipside are coming soon
