Nokia x6 is a bright, stylish, musical representative of multimedia mobile phones from the world famous Finnish company Nokia. The gadget was presented for public viewing on September 2, 2009 at the Nokia World 2009 conference, which was held in Germany. The phone went on sale on store shelves at the end of 2009.
At the beginning of 2010, the Nokia x6 16Gb smartphone model was presented for sale. It reduced the memory from 32 GB to 16 GB and introduced a cheap headset, sold without the Nokia Comes With Music service. A little later in Russian Federation Sales of a gadget with 8GB memory have begun.
Nokia x6: body and geometric dimensions
The developers presented the gadget in three color variations– black, blue and white. The case of the mobile phone is rectangular in shape without roundings with a built-in antenna and 3.5 mm audio jack. Nearby there is a socket for the charger and USB, which is covered with a plug.
On the left side of the phone there is a SIM card slot, also covered with a flap. On the right side of the Nokia x6 there are keys for locking the screen, adjusting the sound and a button to turn on the camera.
The front panel has standard buttons: menu, dial and cancel.
Sides and back panel made of matte plastic, and the ends and front panel are made of glossy plastic. Its thickness is only 13.8 mm. The weight of the mobile is 122 g.
The smartphone has no unnecessary details or decorative elements; it looks strict, but at the same time neat and simple. Overall dimensions of the device: height - 111 mm, width - 51 mm.
The phone lies comfortably in your hand, does not slip, and is convenient to use during a conversation. The phone's dimensions allow it to be carried comfortably in a trouser pocket or outerwear.
Display
The display diagonal is 3.2 inches, displays up to 16 million colors, screen resolution is 640x360 pixels (nHD). The screen is made using capacitive technology, that is, it is covered with protective glass. With careful use it will not scratch.
Screen sensitivity is not up to par high level, when compared with other flagships. Vertical viewing angles are very good, but horizontally they are much worse, but this does not affect the quality of the transmitted color.
Camera
The model has cameras: a main one of 5.0 Megapixels and an additional one of 0.3 Megapixels. The maximum resolution of the main camera is 2592x1944. It is located on the back panel of the gadget; under the camera there is a dual LED flash, which can work as manual mode, and in auto mode.
There is also a special option for reducing red-eye. The camera does not have a curtain or a mirror for portraits; the camera protection is not recessed into the body, which makes it easy to wipe.
To start working with the camera, you can turn it on using the side button or by quick launch from the desktop, or through the main menu.
Shooting is designed for horizontal mode. By going to the “Functions” section in the menu, you can switch to the front camera, video recording, or view previously captured frames, as well as adjust image quality (3 gradations), linking GPS coordinates to images, shutter sound (4 options; no silent), display the image and reset all parameters, select a save location.
By touching the button with horizontal stripes, you can select basic camera settings. These include:
- shooting modes;
- effects;
- contrast;
- white balance;
- sharpness;
- switch to video mode;
- go to photo viewing;

- displaying a grid on the screen;
- burst mode: up to 18 frames;
- automatic timer;
- ISO: auto adjustment and three gradations.
Using the settings in the video, you can turn off the sound, enable night mode, or low light mode. The gadget allows you to adjust the quality of the video; it can be high or normal, and it is also possible to use widescreen mode.
The duration of the video recording is no more than 1.5 hours. The formats supported by the mobile are mp4 (with a resolution of 640x480 at a frequency of up to 30 frames/sec) and 3gp. The digital zoom in the gadget is smooth and can be adjusted with your finger from the screen or the side key.
The additional camera of the smartphone is located on the front side, in the upper right corner. It can be used as a web camera. Although its general purpose is video calls, it can also be used for video recording.
It has practically no settings - you can adjust the quality and minor options.
Nokia6 software
When developing a smartphone, the manufacturer's designer introduced operating system Symbian 9.4 S60 5th Edition and equipped with an ARM 11 processor, which is characterized by clock frequency 434 MHz.
Series 60 is a software platform for smartphones. It uses Symbian OS. Its developer is Nokia, which has licensed Symbian OS to Lenovo, Panasonic, Samsung and other manufacturers.
S60 supports applications that were developed in Java MIDP, C++, Python and consists of standard applications and libraries (telephony, multimedia players, PIM tools). You can install additional applications on this software.
USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi
There are four modes in the mobile USB settings. Data transfer speed via USB is 5 Mb/s. The disadvantage of the gadget is that when you connect the USB cable, it does not charge.
Nokia x6 uses Bluetooth version 2.0 and supports EDR. The device supports the following profiles: Dial Up Networking Profile, Object Push Profile, File Transfer Profile, Hands Free Profile, Headset Profile, Basic Imaging Profile, Remote SIM Access Profile, Device Identification Profile, Phone Book Access Profile, Stereo Audio Streaming: Generic Audio/Video Distribution Profile, Audio/Video Remote Control Profile, Advanced Audio Distribution Profile.
Data transfer using Bluetooth occurs at a speed of 100 Kb/s. The gadget has Wi-Fi support (IEEE 802.11g). Supports WEP, WPA, WPA2. There is a Wi-Fi network master available that can background search for them and, if necessary, connect to such networks.
Battery
The Nokia x6 mobile phone uses a Nokia BL-5J battery. It is small in size, but stable and reliable.
The battery has no memory effect, so it can be charged at any frequency. The battery capacity is 1350 mAh, its type is Li-ion, voltage 3.7 V.
Nokia BL-5J ensures reliable and long-lasting operation of the gadget. The mobile phone is designed to work up to 11.5 hours in talk mode and up to 420 hours in standby mode. Music playback time reaches 35 hours, video shooting in maximum quality – up to 210 minutes, video playback – up to 4 hours.
Equipment
The manufacturer packed the Nokia x6 smartphone in a branded cardboard box, in which he placed the smartphone itself, battery (BL-5J), Charger(AC-8), USB cable (CA-101), wired stereo headset (WH-500 with 32 GB version, WH-701 with 16 GB version, WH-205 with 8 GB version), mini DVD and even a voucher for 25 tunes in the OVI store, only in 16 Gb and 8Gb versions, not for all countries and, of course, instructions for users.
In terms of quality, Nokia x6 demonstrates itself exclusively on the positive side. However, despite its flagship status, it did not give users anything new from the functional side.

Description of the X6 smartphone
Nokia is actively gaining momentum after returning to the market, releasing a variety of smartphones on the Android platform. One of the tools for promoting among the sharks of the mobile phone market has been the revival of legendary lines or models. Here we will briefly look at the characteristics of a freshly baked smartphone - Nokia X6 2018 on Android 8.1.
The main feature of this gadget is the so-called “frameless display”, which covers almost the entire front surface of the smartphone. In the “best” trends of 2018, the device received an island or recess for front camera and dynamics. Although the dimensions are not very large, the screen diagonal is 5.8 inches and the resolution is 1080x2280 pixels. As a matrix, Nokia X6 uses proven IPS with a wide range of colors. Since the smartphone will not be sold at a very high price, the manufacturer had to make simplifications and use not the most latest version tempered glass - Gorilla Glass 3.
The Nokia X6 (2018) has two cameras: one with 16 megapixels, the second with 5 megapixels, but with a monochrome sensor. This solution helps to take photographs with blurred background, improve the quality of pictures at night and support for advanced HDR mode. If we talk about improving the quality of photography, the manufacturer paid attention to the use of artificial intelligence when photographing.
Although the X6 smartphone is an inexpensive device, engineers installed a fairly powerful eight-core processor - Qualcomm Snapdragon 636. This chip contains a neural processor, which, using artificial intelligence, helps to use power most efficiently. As you can already see in the characteristics table, a phone with such a processor scores more than 115 thousand parrots (points) in Antutu. If we talk about RAM, then Nokia has divided it into three models: the younger model gets 32 GB and 4 RAM, the middle one 64 GB and the same amount of RAM, and the older one 64 GB and as much as 6 GB RAM. The price difference is about $40 between trims.
Pleasant aspects of the Nokia X6 (2018) include support for Bluetooth version 5.0, support for Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging via the Type-C connector, and the presence of a fingerprint scanner. The built-in battery has sufficient capacity with a thickness of 8 mm - 3060 mAh.
In addition to three different configurations with different amounts of memory, Nokia offers three body colors for the gadget: dark blue, light silver and black. As mentioned at the beginning of this specifications page, the recommended price of the device starts at $210 and ends at $270. But you should expect slightly higher prices in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, since tax will be added to this figure.
The device under review is a continuation of the legendary X-series (XpressMusic) of Nokia phones. Nokia X6-00 is one of the latest gadgets from the company, which has managed to earn a positive reputation and make a small revolution within this segment. First of all, the device is positioned as the ultimate music solution, which is logical, given the heritage of the XpressMusic brand. An expensive headset, a subscription to a branded music service and a large amount of memory - all this only emphasizes the narrow focus of the gadget. In addition, the phone came out, as always, recognizable and stylish, with the same design characteristic of Nokia, which means that the device should sell well regardless of the characteristics, such was the company’s bet. It’s difficult to imagine that such a gadget can fight the iPhone and other modern devices, but it’s definitely worth the attention of a loyal audience and adherents of classic smartphones, and therefore let’s discuss in more detail what kind of beast the Nokia X6 is. Device characteristics, software features, functions and shortcomings - all this will be discussed further.
Equipment
- The Nokia X6 smartphone itself.
- Accumulator battery.
- Charger for mains power supply.
- USB standard cable.
- Wired stereo headset (over-ear headphones in the 32 GB model and vacuum headphones in the 16 GB model).
- Instructions for using the gadget.
- A coupon for downloading 25 songs from the OVI-Store.
Case design and materials
Dimensions: 111 x 51 x 14, weight: 122 grams. The body is a classic rectangle with rounded edges at the top and bottom. The corners are beveled. The external design of the device resembles that of the company’s slider models. Most of the front panel is occupied by the display. On top of it lies a protective glass, which, alas, despite the company’s efforts, gets scratched, and quite quickly. The main body material is plastic, which is quite normal for most flagships of that time (even those running Android). There are metal parts, namely frames around the edges. The body parts fit together well, but not completely; there are small gaps that quickly become clogged with small debris and dust. There is a small, but still noticeable play in the back cover. The device comes in several colors:
- White and blue.
- Yellow-white.
- Pink and white.
- Black and red.
- Black.
Controls and Ports
Below the screen you can find three physical control keys. They are quite convenient, at least more convenient than the touch options. There is a touch key above the screen for quick access to the menu. On the right side of the phone there is a volume rocker, just below there is a slider for locking the device (a little flimsy, but it doesn’t stick), and even lower down is the camera shutter, which is also a button to launch it. At the top there are all the ports: a standard 2.5 mm port for charging the gadget, a USB port for synchronizing data with a computer (you can’t charge your phone with it), a standard jack for connecting headphones. There is a flap on the left side; underneath it is a slot for a SIM card, which can be replaced without turning off the phone. The speaker, hidden behind a small perforation, is also located on the left side.
Communications
The USB port in the Nokia X6 operates in several different modes:
Among the wireless interfaces it is worth highlighting:
- Bluetooth, which supports all major user profiles for exchanging data and connecting wireless devices.
- Wi-Fi module operating at 802.11g frequency (all generally accepted security standards work).
The phone has a modified version of GPS.
Display
The gadget is equipped with a fairly compact display, even in comparison with its contemporary competitors. The display diagonal reaches only 3.2 inches. The matrix resolution is 640 x 360 pixels. 16:9 aspect ratio (great for watching videos and photos). Despite the low resolution, the display turned out good. It is bright, with good color rendition. The grain is noticeable but not annoying. In the sun the screen fades, but remains readable. The main pride is the use of a capacitive display instead of a resistive one, as in previous models. The difference is that capacitive screen recognizes only a finger and ignores other physical objects, you will have to forget about the stylus. Each tap on the screen is accompanied by a short vibration, similar to what can be found in Samsung smartphones.
Memory
The gadget is equipped with 128 megabytes of RAM. Of these, only 45 are available to the user (the rest goes to support the operating system). The small amount of RAM is the biggest problem of the device. Every time more than one program is loaded into the device's memory, the rest are deleted from it. In particular, this applies to the web browser, which kills all other applications running in parallel.
The amount of main memory is 16 or 32 gigabytes, depending on the selected configuration. 265 megabytes are allocated for a makeshift C drive. This is memory for applications and system utilities. The remaining volume is allocated for music, photos, videos and other multimedia content.
Autonomy
The Nokia X6 phone has a 1320 mAh battery (the largest among the XpressMusic smartphones). According to the manufacturer, the gadget can last up to 11 hours of talk time, 420 hours of standby time, up to 35 hours of music playback (with the display locked) and up to 4 hours of video playback.
Independent tests showed similar results. Plus, we found out the operating time under other scenarios.
- in GPS navigator mode, the device worked for 4 hours;
- when playing video - 3 hours 30 minutes;
- in web surfing mode (EDGE connection) - 4 hours;
- in game mode (games only) - 5 hours.
On average, a gadget can last about two days. The concept “on average” includes: a few hours of conversation, a dozen pictures, a little time spent playing games, a couple of videos shot.
Cameras
The device is equipped with a main photo module with a resolution of 5 megapixels. This is a CMOS lens with dual-section flash and unlimited focal length. As always, Nokia can boast of having Carl Zeiss optics, which has become key feature all cameras from this company. An important difference from previous generation devices is the absence of a protective curtain, which also activated the camera in previous models. The built-in shooting app supports several different scenes: automatic, manual, macro, portrait, landscape and night mode. The maximum photo resolution reaches 2048 x 1536 pixels. The main camera has good color reproduction; the pictures are bright, detailed, without artifacts or blurry light sources. You can set the white balance yourself. There are additional filters (processing effects a la “Instagram”).
Software features
There is no point in talking about what Symbian is: the platform does not change much from release to release, but there are a number of features that are worth considering. Firstly, the phone uses two types of keyboards, which switch automatically when you rotate the smartphone. The first is classical, digital. The second is a QWERTY keyboard, activated in landscape mode. Secondly, the phone has a tool that automatically creates playlists for the selected mood. There is a built-in FM radio and music store. There are pre-installed games on the Nokia X6: Asphalt 4, Spore and others. There are other pre-installed utilities such as the updated mail client and DJ Mix Tour program. They come complete with standard software Symbian. Additional programs for Nokia X6 can be downloaded from the OVI Store.
Living in modern world, it’s hard to imagine yourself without such a now banal thing as mobile phone. We need it for work, study, communication with loved ones, and just for relaxation. Who, for example, does not like to sit in in social networks? Which phone should you choose to keep up with progress? After all, everyone has different tastes. Let's try to understand one of the Nokia gadgets.
Phone appearance
Resembles a thin rectangular block. It fits well in the hand and leaves the impression of an expensive toy. The main material from which the X6 is made is plastic. It's actually not bad at all. The manufacturer stated about metal inserts. Yes, they are also present. The side strips are made of metal.
The main problem of everyone without exception touch devices- easily soiled front panel. In the smartphone of our review, it is, alas, the same. But the back surface is pleasing. It is made of soft velvety plastic, very pleasant to the touch.
The manufacturer released this device in two color options: white and black. The dimensions of the smartphone remained almost the same as the one except that the thickness decreased slightly. But it is practically not felt. The dimensions of the Nokia X6 are 111.2 x 51.05 x 14.3, the weight of the device is 124 grams.
Screen
The display of the X6 is covered. It does not dull the colors and reliably protects the screen. In fact, it is not glass, but a composite material - plastic. Scratches may appear on this layer, but they are rare. Due to the small gap, dust accumulates under the screen, which can be very annoying. Cleaning is only possible in service center, otherwise it is impossible to get rid of contaminants.
Nokia's TFT screen has an area of 3.2 inches and a standard palette of 16 million colors. Below the display are the call/end call buttons and the Menu key. At first glance, it may not seem entirely convenient that they are all located on one platform, but in reality everything is simple - pressing each of the buttons receives a quick response. It’s very good that they are mechanical and not sensory, which are quite problematic to use. The Nokia X6 also has a quick menu key. It is touch sensitive and is located above the display.
X6 cameras
Below the screen you can see the “eye” of the VGA camera. The smartphone uses a five-megapixel camera. The optics here are Carl Zeiss. Same as in N97. The only difference is the absence of a curtain that scratches the lens eye. The camera has a two-section LED flash that works well at a distance of up to 2 meters. The application launches quite quickly - in just 4 seconds.
The image size can be set at your discretion: 5, 2 or 0.3 MP. The quality of the photos taken with the Nokia X6 is quite good.
Camera Specifications
The camera lens has the following parameters:
- optics from Carl Zeiss;
- focal length - 10 cm;
- focusing - 5.45 mm;
- shooting in macro mode - from 10 to 50 cm;
- possibility of twenty-fold digital zoom;
- selection of different scenes: auto, portrait, night mode, landscape, sports and others;
- the ability to disable geotagging (then the coordinates of the place where it was taken will not be added to the photo).
Housing "Nokia X6"
All the inserts and panels here fit quite well, due to this, nothing creaks or plays anywhere. The SIM card slot is on the left, covered with a flap. One might assume that this is a memory card slot, but it's not here. Inner memory The device is 32 GB. The SIM card can be removed even from a working phone, but then you will need tweezers. If everything is done according to the rules, then first they take out the battery, and then, by pulling the lever, the SIM card itself. It is difficult to say why manufacturers used this design, because it is inconvenient.
On the side of the case (right) there is a paired key that controls the volume, a camera button and a screen lock slider. The latter is recessed directly into the body of the smartphone, which makes it more reliable, as it eliminates the possibility of jamming. There is nothing else on the sides of the Nokia X6. But on top there is a plug micro USB connector, a dedicated power key, a hole for a storage device and a headphone jack. They deserve praise here, without a doubt. The smartphone comes with the highest quality Nokia headphones - WH-500. Their individual cost is 5,000 rubles. In addition, the kit comes with an annual subscription for downloading, without any restrictions, licensed tunes from the Ovi music store. The speakers, covered with a metal mesh, are located on the left side of the X6. They are very loud and of good quality.
It is the headphones, coupled with the reason for the inflated price of the X6. The manufacturers decided to make this device musical and fully equipped it. Therefore, the user who buys the X6 gets maximum opportunities, albeit for a lot of money.
