Comparisons Featuring Nokia C7 Astound
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.
