Comparisons Featuring Nokia N72
Short Review
- The Nokia N72, released in 2006, features a compact design with dimensions of 109 x 53 x 21.8 mm and a weight of 124g, available in Gloss Black and Pearl Pink.
- Its 2.1-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 176 x 208 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 130 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a TI OMAP 1710 chipset with a 220 MHz CPU and 20MB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- The camera is a 2 MP rear unit without optical image stabilization, capable of recording video at CIF resolution, while there is no front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 970 mAh, supporting standard usage without fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Symbian OS 8.1 with Series 60 UI 2.8, the software experience is straightforward but limited by modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Bluetooth 2.0, but it lacks WiFi, NFC, and 5G support.
- The device does not feature stereo speakers or a headphone jack, which may limit audio options.
- Overall, the Nokia N72 is a basic phone with essential features suitable for its time.
