The rumored Nokia C7 has been
through a few rounds of spy shots and now it showed up yet again, in
the most detailed photo session yet. The Symbian^3 handset will likely
be one of the announcements at the annual Nokia World event in
mid-September.
The Nokia C7
will be a mass-market alternative to the upcoming N8 flagship. It runs
Symbian^3 on a 3.5" screen with nHD resolution. However, the camera has
8MP resolution and it's paired with a dual-LED flash. No word on the
video recording just yet.
The C7 has a microUSB port, but
not microHDMI like the Nokia N8 has, along with the traditional 3.5mm
audio jack and 2mm charger plug (it should charge over USB though). The
Nokia C7 is powered by a 1200mAh battery - a different model than the
N8 has but with the same capacity.
Strangely, the Nokia C7 has
Call and End keys on the front, unlike the N8, which has a single
button on its face. The bronze material reminds us of the plastic on
the Nokia N97, which was great, but it's no anodized aluminum.
Here's a video walkthrough of the Nokia C7 hardware.
And here's Symbian^3 running on the C7 - it looks the same as on the Nokia N8, which isn't unexpected.
Save for the camera, the
Nokia C7 is almost an equal to the N8. With its inevitably lower price,
it could be a great alternative for those who find the Nokia N8 pricey.
We hope we'll get more details about the C7 at Nokia World.
You can see it's got that quality build like the E series...with the metal rear cover...probably glass screen also. The body is the same material as my E75.
