Nokia users have long awaited the release of a new middle-class product from HD-Em Global. In 2019, the Nokia X71 smartphone appeared with its own advantages and disadvantages. The phones of this manufacturer have always been distinguished by the quality of products and good antenna modules that provide decent signal reception even in places where cell towers are at a distance, and other devices lose their signal and are out of the network coverage area. On this, the company made a name for itself and earned a reputation as a developer of good devices. The company has released a number of gadgets that have become a legend among electronic devices.

Description Nokia X71

The phone measures 157.2 × 76.5 × 8 millimeters and weighs 180 grams, and has a 6.39-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1080 × 2316 pixels. According to the manufacturer, it occupies 83.9% of the total frontal area. The Adreno-512 processor is responsible for accelerating graphics processing.

The heart of the device is the Snapdragon-660 chipset, it is made using 14 nanometer technology. The filling has eight cores overclocked to 2.2 GHz. The configuration is complemented by 6 GB of RAM and 128 gigs of working space on the hard disk. The phone supports removable cards up to 256 gigabytes.

On the left side of the screen is a small cutout for the selfie camera. The rear part consists of three modules with LED flash. Below them is a sensor for scanning a finger pattern. Its main purpose is to protect data stored on the phone. The functionality of the phone allows you to assign it a call to individual applications. However, its main task is to unlock the screen.

The body is double glazed and has an aluminum frame. The design is made in the strict style of Nokia developers. But its appearance is pleasant. Control keys with small bulges are on the side.

Technical table

Screen

The display measures 6.39 inches diagonally, accounting for 83.9% of the phone's total front area. The matrix liquid crystal capacitive with touch control is capable of displaying 16 million colors.

The screen resolution is 1080x2316 pixels with an image density of 400 dpi. This quality meets the FHD + standard. The graphics accelerator Adreno-512 processes photo and video without delay. The textures of heavy online games are drawn with the required detail. There are no “dead” areas with squares and hovering of active objects.

Since the phone has no bezels, you will have to watch movies across the entire width of your smartphone. For some, this quality is a big plus, but some get lost out of habit. In order to add realistic rendering and save battery power, the developers have added several brightness modes.

The screen does not fade in the sun, all the contours are clearly visible. The color gamut makes the images more saturated. The transitions between shades are clearly visible. This realism fully complies with high definition resolution standards. The hardware capabilities of the smartphone allow you to watch videos in high quality without losing any special details of characters or objects.

Cameras

The selfie camera is located in the upper left corner of the screen in the form of a small notch. It has an f / 2.0 aperture and a resolution of 16 megapixels. Unfortunately, the module is not equipped with a photo flash, so it is not designed for night shooting. In daylight, pictures are clear and vivid. The video is in FHD size, it will especially appeal to travel lovers, social media users, and other people who lead an active lifestyle.

The rear camera has three sensors that each perform their own task. The first module has a resolution of 48 megapixels and is the main one. It is equipped with a stabilization function and automatic focus lock. With an aperture of f / 1.8, the sensor creates a background image, which is then superimposed on the results of shooting with the auxiliary cameras.

The second sensor is ultra-wide with a viewing angle of 120 degrees at 8 megapixels. It is designed to create panoramas. Thanks to him, the picture is more voluminous and large-scale. The camera covers a sufficient distance at which a group of more than ten people can easily fit in a row. To do this, you do not need to go far so that all the participants get into the lens.

The third module with a resolution of 5 megapixels has an aperture of f / 2.4. The sensor adds sharpness and clarity to the image. With his participation, the camera's sensitivity increases at night. Silhouettes and outlines of objects are drawn in the pictures. When the flash is turned on automatically, shots take on vivid colors.

Cameras have Zeiss optics, which has a positive effect on quality. There is a digital zoom. The electronics are very sensitive to light, but there is self-shading when photographing against the sun. The equipment itself is equipped with many options aimed at obtaining high-quality images. Next to the group of cameras is a dual LED flash that turns on automatically or can be switched to manual mode.

Battery

The battery has a capacity of 3500 mAh. Its charge is enough for a day of active conversations. If you adjust the brightness of the display correctly, since it is the main consumer of energy, then the viability of the power source can be extended to several days.

Nobody uses the phone twenty-four hours a day, but in case of sudden discharge, there is a quick battery recovery function. The divisions on the screen fill up in a little over an hour. These options are convenient for people who are used to doing business over the phone. Active users of social networks, the Internet, business people or just movie lovers often find themselves in a situation where the charge drops to zero and there is no way to quickly restore it.

Performance

The Kryo-260 processor with eight cores based on the Qualcomm-SDM660 Snapdragon-660 chipset is made using 14 nanometer technology. The equipment of this brand is always distinguished by the data processing speed. They are capable of processing large amounts of information.

Four layers operate at 2.2 GHz, the rest at 1.8 GHz. Their acceleration and synchronization in operation depends on the load. With its increase, the processor accelerates. The developers themselves are also trying to reduce the heating of the microcircuit by increasing the frequency characteristics. According to their logic, the faster the exchange of information, the less heat will be released. But everyone understands that without improving technologies, it will not be possible to constantly increase the parameters. For this purpose, tubes and an evaporation chamber serve as additional cooling.

The phone handles time-consuming tasks well in a few seconds. Large and voluminous programs and web pages open quickly. During operation, they do not freeze, they function without falling. You can enable several windows, this does not greatly affect the performance. It has proven itself well in active games that require an instant response from the user to events.

Memory

The phone has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of hard drive space. Disk space is complemented by the ability to install a flash drive up to 256 GB. This memory is enough for installing a large number of applications, saving images in high quality. The operating system has swap buffers, which, with high processor performance, allow you to quickly load temporary files and process large amounts of information.

This symbiosis contributes to the speed of the hardware filling. The functionality of the smartphone makes it possible to transfer the cache to removable media in order to save space on the hard drive. The option to transfer all "junk" files, which are subsequently deleted using a special utility or manually.
