Comparisons Featuring Nokia E72

Short Review

  • The Nokia E72 features a compact design with dimensions of 114 x 58 x 10 mm and a weight of 128g, making it portable and easy to handle.
  • Its 2.36-inch TFT display supports 16 million colors with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, providing decent clarity for its time.
  • Performance is powered by a 600 MHz ARM 11 CPU and 250MB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
  • The rear camera offers 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 480p and 15fps, though it lacks a front-facing camera.
  • The 1500mAh battery provides sufficient power for daily use, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Symbian OS 9.3 with Series 60 v3.2 UI, the software experience is dated compared to modern standards.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device is available in various colors, including Zodium Black and Amethyst Purple.
  • While it lacks water resistance and advanced features, it does include a headphone jack for audio connectivity.
  • Overall, the Nokia E72 is a solid choice for users seeking a straightforward, functional mobile experience.
