Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type Review

Ever enjoyed a ‘What’s missing in this image?’ game over a cup of coffee on a lazy weekend? If you’re wondering why we’ve recalled this comfortable picture of indolence, it’s because of what Nokia has been doing to our eyes lately. Take the X5-01 we reviewed not too long ago and you’ll know what we mean. It looked like the sawed-off half of a handset. We’re going to kick off this review of the Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type by explaining why the phone is sniggering away at our slightly confused initial glimpse.

And yet again, we know the tech specs should have warned us in advance, but unboxing a new gadget always puts everything else out of our minds. So it is a few seconds before we realize a central navigation button was not destined to be embedded onto the face of the device and hence the look of incompleteness. Nokia says we have to do with the rest of the buttons and the touchscreen for this phone. The appearance cannot be called nondescript by any means. The moment you lay eyes on it, you’re going to be wondering why it doesn’t air the familiar feeling of a feature phone. Overall, the exterior is slick and slippery. We say so because it’s easy for people with relatively large hands to simply not notice it sliding right out of a hand.

Out of the pink, white silver, petrol blue, lilac and dark metal options, we were handed a review unit of the Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type in the last mentioned paintjob. Along the sides are placed a microUSB connector, a 2mm charging port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, volume controls and a solitary button for summoning the locking mechanism. Lined along the display’s base are buttons for dialing/answering or canceling/ending calls, messaging and music. Out of the tastefully sloping base blares the speaker and opening the rear battery compartment is a cinch with the convenient latches on either side of the lower ending. The microSD slot can take up to 16GB cards, though the one we were given was of 2GB capacity.

This Series 40 6th edition Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type turns on to a rather plain interface with the regular Go to, Menu and Names options placed at the bottom of the UI. At the same time, you can satiate the clutter monster in you by customizing the homescreen with widgets, shortcuts and favorite contacts till each of one them is screaming about feeling claustrophobic. The 2.4” touchscreen on the front is of the resistive type and it plays out visuals in 240 x 320p QVGA resolutions. Some might see a gaping hole for an on-screen QWERTY keypad here. We see one too, but it’s cramped, and Nokia did well with not submitting to the temptation of adding a virtual keyboard.
