Short Review
- The Nokia 5235 Comes With Music features a compact design with dimensions of 111 x 51.7 x 15.5 mm and a weight of 115 grams, making it portable.
- Its 3.2-inch TFT resistive touchscreen displays 16 million colors at a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels, offering decent clarity for its time.
- Performance is driven by a 434 MHz ARM 11 CPU and 70MB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking.
- The camera is limited to a 2 MP rear sensor, capable of recording video at 480p and lacking optical image stabilization.
- The 1320 mAh battery provides basic longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Symbian 9.4, the software experience may feel dated compared to modern operating systems.
- Connectivity options include Bluetooth 2.0 and microUSB 2.0, but it lacks Wi-Fi and NFC capabilities.
- The phone is available in black and white, but there are no water resistance features.
- The absence of stereo speakers may limit audio quality, though it does include a headphone jack.
- Overall, the Nokia 5235 is a basic device suited for essential functions rather than advanced features.
