Short Review

  • The Nokia C7 Astound features a sleek design with dimensions of 117.3 x 56.8 x 10.5 mm and a weight of 130g, making it portable and comfortable to hold.
  • Its 3.5-inch AMOLED display offers a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels, providing decent clarity with a pixel density of approximately 210 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a 680 MHz ARM 11 CPU and 256MB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
  • The 8 MP rear camera captures images without optical image stabilization and can record video at 720p, though the front camera is absent.
  • The 1200 mAh battery supports basic usage but lacks fast or wireless charging features.
  • Running on Symbian^3, it can be upgraded to Nokia Belle OS, providing a somewhat dated user experience.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, and NFC, enhancing its functionality.
  • The device does not support 5G and has a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
  • The C7 Astound is available in a frosty metal color, giving it a modern aesthetic.
  • Overall, it combines essential features in a compact form but may not meet the demands of power users.
