Nokia 6131: specifications and reviews

Nokia-clamshell 6131 is an elegant enough phone, which has, you can say, the original mechanism of disclosure. To open the device, you just need to click on one of the buttons. The device has a huge number of very different functions. Their list can be started with a camera, continue with communication modules (such as infrared and Bluetooth) and end with support for microSD memory cards.

Introduction

Two color screens are built into the device at once. One is internal, the other, respectively, is external. The first has a good color rendition, the number of colors is 16 million. Nevertheless, certain remarks are made regarding this component. For example, if the screen is dirty, it will be difficult to clean it. One of the most important drawbacks, by the way, is the weak battery for the Nokia 6131.

Design

Reasons to rejoice in the huge number of design designs there. In fact, the device is executed in this plan quite modestly. It has averaged dimensions. The case of Nokia 6131 also does not please, it is made in the standard form. There is no any original painting. If you give an unambiguous description of the phone, then this is a real "working horse".

Let's look at the official website of the Finnish company, we will find the corresponding product using the navigation menu. What will we see in the description of the phone? Light and thin machine, allegedly equipped with a soft coating. This should have a positive effect on usability.

Well, let's be objective. To call the device light or thin clearly the language does not turn. But the apparatus can not be called a "shovel" either. Again, one can recall the averaged dimensions and dimensions. But the words about a special soft coating have a certain basis. But even here the Finnish company has entered a proven way, having executed a soft covering from a soft-touch plastic. In any case, at the moment, "Nokia" has a sufficient number of competitors who use a similar material to cover their devices. So there is nothing extraordinary in this.

If we compare 6131, for example, with some models of the company "Motorola", we see that the quality of soft-touch plastic "Nokii" clearly loses. However, it is not objective to compare models exclusively for such a criterion. Because you do not have to forget about functionality. What do you think, which device will the person choose: more comfortable to touch or more functional? 99.9 percent prefer the latter.

Color design

Nokia 6131 phones are delivered to the corresponding market in rather boring colors. That, in principle, fully corresponds to the definition of "workhorse", which we "stuck" to the device even at the very beginning of the article. Nevertheless, it should be noted that there is one very interesting proverb. As they say, there are no comrades for taste and color. And that's why we can not exclude the fact that someone like this design and color design like.

Of course, there are other color combinations, but the most popular, according to statistics, was a strict combination (or tuxedo) of white and black. But, having looked closely, we will notice that white is not really white, but silvery. We can not talk about charm, of course. In this design, the device is more like the role of a device for a business man, a sort of James Bond.

Designer add-ons

Producers and specialists of the Finnish company knew as well as we did that the lack of color schemes would negatively affect the sales of the device. That's why they took action. Several asymmetric, not in the manner in which followed, but still. So, what exactly is it about? In order to answer this question, let's take a look at the bottom of the device.

Here we will see the protruding element. And it just can be called one of the distinguishing features of the model 6131.

Advice Buying

Before you buy this unit, think carefully and weigh your decision three times. Open the phone, rotate in different planes. Imagine working with him every day. Is it convenient to hold it in your hands, use it? You can read the forums and ask the owners of this device. The Finnish mobile phone manufacturer certainly knows a lot about design. However, model 6131 is clearly not the case.

Keyboard

It, of course, is made on a mechanical basis, but there are some nuances. So, in the center of absolutely each of the keys there is a slight elevation. In general, the central button bulges. And here are some notation on this peculiar elevation. This move was made by the developers of the phone for good reason. This adds convenience to use. In the rest it should be noted not only the practicality of the keyboard model 6131, but also its beauty.

Controls: the left side

On the left side, we can see a paired volume control button (it's also simply called a rocker). At first sight it is difficult to believe that it is a separate control element. Only the arrows on the buttons give this out. And so the element would look just as part of the design.

Right edge

On the right side is the camera control button . If you press briefly on it, photography will begin. If you make a long press, the video will start recording. Also here is the phone lock button. This is already a tradition, as they say. Well, the Finnish company decided to diversify it by executing the lock button as a separate control.

Expansion button

This element, perhaps, is the most interesting in the design of the model 6131. We can say that this is a peculiar highlight of the device. There will not be an accidental disclosure, because it is quite taut. At the same time, discomfort during use is also not observed. The basis of the button (or rather, the automatic opening function) is the spring. It is cocked when the apparatus is closed. That's why shutting the phone will be harder than revealing it.

When the user presses the release button, the spring is released by force and pushes the lid of the device up. Of course, the phone does not jump out of the user's hands, because the power of disclosure is not so great. However, this technology has a downside. More specifically, the phone is not fully exposed at certain angles. The opening of the lid simply does not have enough energy. Therefore, you can finally throw it back with your hand. But you can open the device in the old-fashioned way, it is because of this that you do not have to bother with the button and the automatic opening.

Screen

As we said earlier, the main drawback of the device is the battery for the Nokia 6131 Silver phone. And what then is in the list of advantages of the device? One of the items can be called a phone display. In this regard, the Finns remained true to themselves. The basis of the screen is a TFT-type matrix. It supports 16 million colors. The resolution of the screen is modest, in comparison with the devices of the present time - only 320 by 240 pixels. But after all, we are talking about the phone, not the smartphone, so everything is in order.

The peculiarity of the display model 6131 is the lack of protective glass. The user instantly rests his eyes on an ordinary liquid crystal matrix. A similar method is used in the manufacture of laptops. This feature has some practical help. More specifically, the lack of a protective glass allows you to fully use the screen's functionality and transfer the saturation of the color gamut.
