The new Nokia 701 is indeed a +1 to the Nokia 700. Nokia announced the release of three new phones- Nokia 700, Nokia 600 and the best among them, Nokia 701. All these phones are based on the new Symbian Belle OS and they all have great features. People have already started looking them up on the internet and it seems that they are gaining popularity very fast. Nokia very recently released the Nokia 500 and this phone did see a lot of searches on the internet. I hope that the three phones will definitely be available in the coming one or two months.
Nokia 701 is a phone which is fully loaded with features and you will be awed when you see the phone’s specifications list. The phone has very impressive looks and at the same time it has great functionality too. What amazed me were the phone’s 8 MP camera and the talk time. The phone has a 3.5 inches big IPS-LCD touchscreen. IPS technology is found in a very few phones and Nokia 701 is one among those few. Nokia has taken great care in designing and making this phone look beautiful and this is very clear from the small size of the phone and the large number of features it packs in the small size. The screen is scratch resistant, thanks to the Gorilla Glass Display which makes the screen durable.
The new Nokia 701 is powered by a single core 1 GHz ARM 11 processor and is operated by the new Symbian Belle. The phone employs 512 MB RAM and 1 GB of ROM for good performance. This new phone is built to provide the best in class and provides you ample storage space of 8 GB. Well, this is more than enough to store all your music, videos and games. You will be able to expand the memory up to 32 GB using microSD cards. This is not all as the Nokia 701 does have a lot of applications and the best feature of this phone is the one which allows you to have a fully customized and personalized main screen or the home screen. What more do you need?
The Nokia 701 is equipped with a 8 MP rear camera as I said earlier which employs dual LED flash to take superb images at 3264×2448 pixels resolution. The front 0.3 MP camera can be used for video calling and the rear camera also does video recording too at 720p at 30 fps. The phone also has a bigger battery capacity of 1300 mAh which gives you a talk time of whopping 17 hours.
