Up in the front is the large 4-inch AMOLED screen protected by a Gorilla Glass display. The problem with a fully curved back, and this is from experience, is that it’s pretty hard to use the dedicated camera button when taking photos as your finger tends to slide off in the landscape position (I find myself using the virtual shutter button instead). The X7’s 2-tone color comes with a combination of brushed-metal and matte finish. The volume rocker is on the right side along with the dedicated camera button. There’s a weird mechanism to open the latch for the SIM card which took me some time to figure out (it wasn’t very easy to pry open the first time around but worked well after that).Īt the top end, the microUSB port and trapezoidal power button flanks the 3.5mm audio port in the center. The microSD card slot and SIM card slots are all tucked on the left side. I initially didn’t like the way it looked from the rendered images back then but after using it and holding it, the device certainly gives a pretty good impression - brushed-metal back panel, large AMOLED display and solid metallic construction.Īt 11.9mm on the side, you think it’s a little thicker than the usual smartphones but it feels very thin, thanks to that curved edges at the back (did the same wonders to the iPhone 3G years ago). The looks of the X7 is rather odd and its design is more of an acquired taste - either you’ll like it or you don’t. Here’s a quick familiarization video so you’re more acquainted with the hardware: The back side is curved all the way to the sides which gives it a good, cold grip when held in one hand. Pretty solid, metallic body with an integrated battery (yes, it’s not user-replaceable). The X7 has this unibody construction that’s very similar to the Nokia N8 and the Nokia E7. There are grills in each of the four corners which looks like they’re for speakers but only the one at the bottom actually have them. The handset has a unique, almost polygonal design and none of the usual curved or straight corners. The X7-00 replaces the X6 in the Nokia Xseries (music and multimedia-centric handset) and among the first in its class to run on Symbian Anna. As such, the X7 has that Autobot influence to it. People will always remember this as the phone that Sam Witwicky used in the 3rd installation of the Transformers Movie. The handset was announced back in April and arrived in the Philippines before the end of June (we first saw it at the Nokia Communication 2011 in Singapore on that same month). Read our full review of the Nokia X7 below. The Nokia X7 first showed up in the Transformers 3 Movie to intrigue the public and it looks like it’s kinda working well for them.
