Review Nokia 6303i Classic

Nokia remembers the proverb that everything new is a long forgotten old. Naturally, it's too early to write off the device Nokia 6303, but it still found a second life. The Nokia 6303i Classic mobile phone is a device similar to the previous device, but with slight differences.

The characteristics of the phone speak of an organic device with no frills, simplicity and functionality. The sixth version of the S40 platform in terms of comfort and functionality is similar to the S60 more than the fifth version of the S40.

Design and ergonomics

The Nokia 6303i Classic measures 108.8x46.2x11.7 mm and weighs 96 grams. The body of the device is made of plastic and metal, so, having small dimensions, the weight of the device gives it solidity.

The name "classic" fully reflects the idea of ​​the phone's design. The appearance of Nokia 6303i Classic is imbued with restraint, and the shape of the classic candy bar and the traditional keyboard only emphasize this.

On the right side of the device there is a coupled volume button, on the top - the Power button, on the bottom - a headset jack, microUSB and for a charger. The headphone jack is standard - 3.5 mm.

On the front side, on a rounded elevation, there is a screen and control buttons. The Nokia 6303i Classic's 2.2-inch display has a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. Color reproduction is excellent, and vivid and saturated colors are pleasing to the eye. In sunlight, the display behaves perfectly: the screen loses its saturation a little, and that's all.

The keypad of Nokia 6303i Classic is quite comfortable, it has large keys located at a comfortable distance from each other. The keypad backlight directly depends on the color of the device. For example, a black phone has a blue backlight and a silver one has a white backlight. In total, this model has six color options. It is silver, hazel, steel, black, pink, golden.

The upper part of the back side of Nokia 6303i Classic is made of plastic. An antenna is located under it, and, as you know, it cannot be covered with metal. There is also a camera peephole, a flash, and a speaker. The metal battery cover fits perfectly, as does the rest of the body. The impression from the case is excellent, it seems that even the slightest backlash will be impossible over time.

Phone operation

The communication quality of Nokia 6303i Classic is as usual. The phone has a function for automatically improving the quality of the voice when the reception is not very good, so the subscriber's voice is heard everywhere and always well. There are no complaints about the vibrating alert and the volume of the signal either, the signal is very loud and is always heard well.

The battery of the device is very capacious and provides, according to the manufacturer, up to eight hours of operation with active use and about 515 hours at rest. When checking the charge, it lasted for seven days, subject to twenty minutes of talks a day, listening to the radio and music for about an hour, as well as using the camera (about fifty shots). Daily use of WEB-resources and watching videos for an hour decently reduces this time. But if we take into account that the preference for this device will be given by those who use only the basic functions of the phone, then there can be no complaints about the battery. The battery takes approximately two hours to charge.

The phone book can store about two thousand contacts, it depends on the available memory. In addition to the name and surname, and the phone number, respectively, you can add a lot of useful information to each cell. And if you try, the entries can be diversified with four fields for phone numbers, mail or website address, text note, postal address, place of work, position and date of birth.And the last entry is automatically entered into the calendar, so that the user under no circumstances earns a reputation for forgetfulness.

Here you can also create up to 25 different groups. The same contact can be included in a wide variety of groups. Each of the groups is assigned a personal ringtone and image. At the time of the call, the subscriber record will appear on the display, since it is this that is the main one, and not the group one.

Names and groups in the general list are not delimited, but are simply marked with an icon. This is quite convenient, since you do not need to look for a special section where you can see detailed information about the group or make a mailing list.

It depends on which mode of viewing the lists in the phone book is set in what form the subscriber's name will appear before the user, either with the main number, or with a picture. Having a classic set of functions, even such trifles in Nokia 6303i Classic draw attention to themselves. There is a feeling of caring for users.

When composing messages in Nokia 6303i Classic, as well as when making entries in the phone book, you can select the font size (normal, small, large). Capacity - nine lines + three service lines.

The Nokia 6303i Classic combines MMS and SMS editors into one. The format change takes place depending on the content of the message. For MMC, the image size is automatically resized to 1600 x 1200 pixels, so that this MMC message weighs less than six hundred KB.

In order not to see a formidable inscription like "no room for a message", you can use a function that will replace past messages with new ones. It is also a very handy and useful feature.

In general, the software platform provided convenient, and most importantly, intuitive management of various types of messages (Flash messages, MMS, SMS, audio).

Menu and interface

With the S40 6th Edition platform, you can choose from a variety of options for your desktop. Some of them are: "classic of the genre" - this is a completely standard design and a minimum of information (charging, clock, assignment of soft buttons), Active Standby is a rather familiar design for smartphones based on Symbian platform, which has quick access to the most necessary functions of the device. In addition to the main display, you can select the color for text and font size, set live wallpapers, photos or slideshows.

Depending on preferences, the main menu of Nokia 6303i Classic may look like a list, a matrix with nine icons, bookmarks, a matrix with signatures, and there is also an option to display one menu item, which will look like a large icon. But the last option is the most impractical, although rather amusing: looking at an unusually large icon, you don't immediately understand which of the main menu items is hidden behind it.

All submenus are in the form of a vertical list with horizontal movement. This simplifies management enough, because all the lists are visible at once, and the menus that are called do not overlap.

The design of your phone can be changed using predefined themes. The design of the icons, the font size, the wallpaper, the background of the submenu, as well as the design of the player and radio are changed. The topics are well developed, and their variety is only pleasing.

The interface of the device is well designed and will probably satisfy all the needs of users of mobile devices in this price category. The design of the icons, their capacity, size and, with all this, the readability of the lines in the submenu, the ability to design the main screen - all this clearly deserves all kinds of praise.

Multimedia

Under the "gallery" icon in Nokia 6303i Classic there are photos, videos, audio files, as well as a file manager that gives information about the state of the memory card. Files are recorded both on the memory card and in the device's memory.

The photo gallery has an excellent organization, everything is very clear and simple.Photos collected in folders, which are viewed by a general list, icons or icons with captions. Photos, videos and any other images are viewed both horizontally and vertically, in a swipe or slow slideshow mode. Images are sorted into albums by groups, one by one or by date, as the user wishes there.

In order to process the image, you can use a graphics editor. Its capabilities are in the form of icons below the image. With it, you can scale the picture, and save enlarged images as a separate object., You can also crop, add special effects, texts and frames.

The player of this model plays both video and audio files. When a music track is playing, all the recorded information from the tag is displayed on the display. In the background, only the designations of the control elements remain on the display, the control itself is carried out using the navigation keys. An interesting fact is that during playback, the player can be minimized to the same background mode.

Music compositions are played in sequence and in random order. And the music library is sorted by album, artist, genre, or not sorted at all, as desired. When creating playlists, you can also use the preset division into favorites, recent, frequently played, added, my compositions. This feature will save you a lot of time. The list of formats supported by the player is quite wide. The same files can be installed for calls.

The design of the radio Nokia 6303i Classic looks like a standard one for the devices from Nokia. The phone memory can store up to 50 radio stations, which you can personally name or name the radio station. The usual inconvenience is the need to connect a headset, even if you listen to the radio using the speaker, because the headphones replace the antenna. There is no function here that would allow you to record radio broadcasts. You can switch using the key on the headset or the navigation button.

the Internet

It has support for EDGE and GPRS. Installation is relatively fast. There are WebKit and Opera Mini browsers. The WebKit browser is a modern development that displays pages exactly like on a computer, but its presence in a device without a touch screen, slightly curbs the capabilities of the browser. The obvious advantage of this browser is that it is possible to cancel the page reloading in the phone's memory, which will significantly reduce traffic consumption. Downloaded pictures from the page can be viewed separately, and the data can be copied and transferred to the desired section of the device.

The mailbox in the Nokia 6303i Classic is configured using the mail manager and works with the main email services. All settings are set individually. This is a pretty good solution, since outbound mail restrictions are optional for inbound mail. The maximum size of a letter should not exceed 600 Kb. This is a rather severe limitation, which spoils the joy of the simplicity of mail settings a little.

Camera

The phone has a 3.2 megapixel camera and LED flash. This seems to be the best option for this model. The frustration of the lack of autofocus is mitigated a bit by the full focus technology. Photos are saved with high and normal compression.

The camera has standard functionality. You can set the flash operation mode and apply a 4x zoom, set the shooting mode, turn off the shutter sound, set the white balance, apply effects. True, these settings do not affect the quality of photographs.

The length of movies is limited only by the available memory. All settings for snapshots are used for video.

The camera of the device works in a vertical position, in accordance with this, the controls are located in the same way.The camera interface is quite user-friendly, but nothing outstanding. The quality of photos and videos, if viewed on the phone display, does not cause any complaints, they look acceptable on the monitor too. All files are saved both in the phone and on the memory card, this is at the discretion of the user.

Summary

The cost of Nokia 6303i Classic is acceptable. The phone takes its place in the middle price segment, as a modern phone from the leader in the mobile market, and will appeal to a fairly large audience of consumers.

For those people who follow the novelties on the mobile market, but are not ready to shell out a tidy sum for them, the main argument will be the platform on which this device is made. The advanced version of the S40 is refined, and it seems that it will become the basis for Nokia models of this level for several years, which will protect the Nokia 6303i Classic from imminent obsolescence.
