Nokia C6 User Experience Review

Here I am not talking about the technical specifications of Nokia C6 which you can get from any tech site, I just want to tell you about my user experience. I bought Nokia C6 in December 2011 and it’s been 8 months. I bought C6 for Rs.12000 and I could have bought any Samsung smartphone with the same specification at a lower price. I have been a Nokia user for a while and my experience with Sony and LG wasn’t so good, so I went in with the quality of Nokia in mind. Samsung smartphones’ comparatively lower battery life was also a deciding factor. Here I am listing some of the pros and cons of Nokia C6 which I learned through my user experience of 8 months.

Pros

Good Battery Life: Lasts for about 3 days under average 2G use and for 1.5 days in 3G

Great Camera: 5MP camera with LED flash can really produce some good quality images, the video quality is exceptional.

Audio: Audio quality is pretty good. You can hear music crisply.

Cons

Touch Interface: C6 comes with a resistive touch screen which sometimes is pretty slow in response. Sometimes you will have to touch the same button twice or thrice to get some response.

Processor: The processor speed is pretty low and sometimes it takes an eternity to load applications like UC Browser. Another problem is that the phone gets stuck every now and then (this issue has been reported by many C6 users). 

OS Software: OS Software leaves a lot to be desired. Even some simple things that you can do on ordinary Nokia phones are missing in C6. One such thing is, if you create a message and you want to send it to a number in the call log list (which is not in your contacts) is available on ordinary Nokia Phones, unfortunately on C6 you don’t have that option.

Weight: 150g is a lot heavier than many other smartphones.

Verdict: There are better phones in the market. One more thing, I wish to sell my C6 if you are willing to pay Rs.5500. 1 year usage, excellent condition. Let me know by commenting if you are interested.
