Review Nokia 130

Display and Design

 As we said, the Nokia 130 is a phone from before, so we should not be surprised to find a screen that is not touch. We are accustomed to find this piece in almost all of the most current phones, but in this case screen serves as a window only to see the system menus and other content. The screen is kind transmissive LCD and has a size of 1.8 inches with resolution QQVGA, corresponding to 160 x 128 pixels. With this configuration, the display focuses 114 dots per inch. Might seem a size too tight, but do not forget that here only serves the screen to view the content management is done through the physical buttons.

 The design of the Nokia 130 is kind piece with a rectangular shape slightly rounded corners to make it more comfortable to hold in hand. The screen occupying the top half of the front side and is surrounded by a resistant glass. The bottom houses the keypad, in addition to the call and hangs up keys, two keys option and directional spider, also known as Navy key. The keyboard is Kind Island, making it easier to type and we note especially when writing messages. If there is an advantage over smartphones is its lightness, and the Nokia 130 weighs less than 70 grams, so you can carry in your pocket without noticing. Nokia will release its new Nokia 130 in three colors to choose from white, black or red, all with the keys in black and matte finish.

 Camera and Multimedia

 The Nokia 130 has no camera, no front or back, and we insist that it is a very basic terminal. What it does have is several multimedia features such as music player. This mobile can become your single player pocket so you can listen to your favorite artists, since it supports most common formats and codecs. It has a speaker on the back and a pair of headphones, which by the way are those in antenna FM tuner, so you can connect to the most popular stations in the area. The Nokia 130 also plays videos, and does it at 30 frames per second frequency, so we’ll see natural and fluid movements.

 Internal Memory

 The Nokia 130 is a terminal of the most basic we can find and internal memory gives you space to store 500 phonebook entries. If we want to add music, videos or documents have to dip into the memory card slot MicroSD. The Nokia 130 units accept additional 32 Gb, which can add hundreds of songs in MP3 or any file type supported by the device.

 Operating System and Applications

 The Nokia 130 has the platform OS Nokia Series 30 +, a very simple system that is very reminiscent of the most basic versions of Symbian, the old mobile headend brand. The platform offers easy operation with clear menus and a grid of i highly visual cones. The home screen displays the music player controls and shortcuts to frequently used functions. The Nokia 130 has the basic functions package, such as the function of clock a calculator or function integrated Nokia Slam, file sharing via Bluetooth quickly. Do not expect to find with App stores or advanced features on this machine, merely a very basic environment where you have the basics to make calls, send messages and little else. Nokia adds an LED on the back so we can use it as makeshift flashlight.

 Connectivity and autonomy

 The Nokia 130 is only compatible with GSM networks, which means that only serves to call and send messages. The Nokia 130 will not allow us to connect to the Internet, even through a WiFi. What it does have is a wireless port Bluetooth, a system through which we can share files with other devices, such as sending images to friends or copy files from the computer.It is also useful for synchronizing accessories such as wireless speakers or car speakerphone. The terminal also carries a port MicroUSB for data transfer or charging the battery, a mini-jack headphone and is available in a dual SIM version to carry two phone lines everywhere on a single computer.

 The Nokia 130 has a set of 1,020 milliamps, a tight figure when compared to a smartphone. However there are no large processors, five-inch screens or 20 megapixel cameras, so there is also the problem of autonomy. The Nokia 130 can be on a single charge for no less than 36 days, provided it is in so idle or standby. The autonomy in question is 13 hours, up to 46 hours in music playback and back down to 16 hours when it comes to watching videos.

 Conclusions

 The Nokia 130 is an excellent choice for users who are looking for a simple phone just to call and write messages. Claims if you have nothing else, the Nokia 130 is a strong candidate. It’s simple, lightweight, has a nice design and especially costs only 20 euros.
