The covers on all Nokia phones open in approximately the same way - using a special button that holds the fasteners. Some models also have two buttons on the sides of the device.
You will need
- - screwdriver;
- - knife.
Instructions
Find the dedicated button on the back of your mobile device Nokia N70. Pressing it at the same time, pull cover towards you and open the battery compartment of your phone. If the cover is difficult to remove, push it harder at the base, this happens mainly when the phone is new.
In other models of Nokia devices, there may also be a side mount for the phone cover, in this case, simultaneously press the buttons holding it on the sides, and prying it off, remove it if it does not come off by itself. If you have instructions, look at the first pages of the process for removing the cover, it must be prescribed for each phone model.
If you want to remove the top cover from your Nokia N70 mobile phone, use a small Phillips screwdriver and a non-sharp knife. Remove the battery by looking underneath for any fasteners. Also, some of them may not be visible under the stickers. Unscrew them with a Phillips screwdriver and try to remove cover by prying it on one side. If you cannot do this without foreign objects, use a flat screwdriver or a non-sharp knife.
Unscrew the phone's microcircuit, also unscrew the screws that hold the front panel of the phone. Remove it by detaching the keyboard. Be careful with the speaker and screen mounts, try not to damage their mounts with the device's microcircuit.
It is best to write down the step-by-step sequence for removing the devices so that you can properly reassemble it later. Always disassemble your phone after disconnecting it from the power source, and always remove the battery. Do not use sharp objects or paper knives to open the cabinet.
note
Do not damage the special service stickers in your device.
My old Nokia phone screen crashed and I decided to buy another phone. In order not to transfer all contacts manually, and I have a lot of them, and also to be able to transfer photos and other information from the phone, which cannot be transferred with a broken screen, I decided to use Nokia program Suite. To use this program new phone I also had to take Nokia. I bought a Nokia 5230. Beforehand, of course, I read the reviews. Many complained that the phone cover was difficult to remove. I decided that this is not such a big minus. Just think, remove the cover. But it turned out not quite so. I have never seen such a stupid system. Those who say that this phone is not for frequently changing SIM-cards in the phone write absolutely correctly. I am sure that the case will quickly fail with regular "opening", so keep that in mind.
I decided to open it with my nails, I even grew them to make it more convenient to cling, but I broke off my nails the first time until I understood the principle of “opening” the case, because you won't press hard to avoid breaking the latches. The easiest way to open the case is if you know the location of the latches on the phone cover. There are only five of them:
The first one is located on the side of the phone buttons (let it be the bottom of the phone) and opens quite easily with a fingernail thanks to the existing groove:
as a result, the housing cover opens slightly:
There is also a groove on the side of the phone cover, it also helps to open one of the latches:
Next, we run our fingernail along the slightly opened groove along the body from the bottom of the phone upwards, pressing more at the supposed locations of the latches. We press inside the slightly opening groove, then the latches open with difficulty (maybe while the new ones still hold):
Thus, first one snaps off, then the second:
If you opened the cover on one side and did not break the latches on the cover, then there are no problems with the other side of the cover - it snaps off easily enough. Done - the cover is removed:
To replace the SIM card, first (like all phones) take out the battery:
Here again the "ambush". Again you need to pry on the latch on the case, which closes the SIM card. It didn’t fit with my fingernail, and I used a plastic stick that I found at home. I think you can use a toothpick:
To extract the SIM card, you need to use a hand or a pencil (you can use a toothpick again):
Like this. Ready.
There is one more significant drawback of this phone model for me personally. The fact is that the search bar for contacts is very narrow and I, holding the phone in my left hand and thumb when trying to search, I often miss this line itself. As a result, instead of searching, I often call a subscriber whom, you understand, I didn’t want to call. I am a small person and my fingers are small. From this I conclude that big people will be completely uncomfortable. It may be suitable for miniature women's or children's hands, but it is difficult for men's hands. But this, of course, is my personal opinion, and I do not want to impose it on anyone, but if you are thinking of buying it, then think about it.
Nokia fans have loved to complain that the Finnish company is completely at the mercy of Microsoft and stubbornly ignores Android. Everyone agreed that the manufacturer knows how to make beautiful and high-tech smartphones, but Windows Phone stops users from buying Lumia.
Aspirations of Nokia fans and numerous rumors about "Spare" The company's plans were confirmed at the Barcelona Mobile Electronics Show. The Finns have done what they seem to have kept away from throughout the entire period of close cooperation with Microsoft - X-series smartphones were presented at MWC, running heavily redesigned, but still Android.
It is curious that Nokia didn’t fight for the top segment and didn’t even dare to play in the middle price range. Finnish Android devices are aimed at users who value every dollar, euro or ruble. Today we will take a look at Nokia X - the cheapest smartphone presented by the Finns based on the OS from Google and try to find out why it is better or worse than numerous Android competitors.
Design
Let's pay tribute to the Nokia designers again - the company's phones are easily identifiable among the devices of other manufacturers. And Nokia X is no exception. It's easy to mistake a smartphone for another Windows Phone model, especially if you leave the screen off.
The novelty makes it clear in all its appearance that we have one of the junior devices of the Lumia series. There are more similarities with the same than with last year's Asha touchscreens. In terms of dimensions, the device is also as close as possible to the junior WP-smartphone Nokia.
Unlike Lumia 520, Nokia X has well-defined, sharp edges. Thanks to this, the device looks like a small brick. We liked the design and execution of the device. In black, it looks strict and, despite "Cutting" ribs, fits well in the hand due to its small size.
Plastic, whose matte surface resembles polycarbonate of more expensive models, also leaves a pleasant impression. High-quality assembly deserves respect - not a hint of backlash or other defect inexpensive devices no, Nokia X not only looks, but also feels like a cast block.
At first glance, it may seem that the phone is made in a non-separable body. This is not true. To open the lid, you will have to cunningly cling to the smartphone and gently press down on the top from the back with your fingers. Such a solution is extremely inconvenient and impractical, but it guarantees the solidity of the structure. Of course, change the battery, memory card and "Sim cards", of which two are supported here, you don't want to.
Power and volume buttons are located on the right side. They protrude above the surface of the case by about one and a half to two millimeters, they are perfectly felt and pressed. There are no complaints about them.
All that concerns appearance and the performance of Nokia X, we liked it. There is a small drawback in the form of an inconveniently opening panel, but this is not so significant against the background of the overall positive impression that the device leaves. Really and "inside" will everything be as good?
Display
Nokia X uses a 4-inch IPS-matrix with a resolution of 480 * 800 pixels. The screen is inexpensive, the dark areas of the image on it when the angle of inclination is changed noticeably give off a purple tint. This, however, is not critical. The backlight brightness is enough to keep the display more or less readable outdoors in bright light. It is far from the models with ClearBlack, but do not forget that we are talking about a budget device.
Another sign of economy was the lack of an oleophobic coating. You will have to wipe your phone frequently and thoroughly if you want it to look neat. The same feature is inherent in the junior WP-smartphone Nokia - Lumia 520.
The Nokia X's screen is not bad, but nothing more. Among the models under Android many samples with a larger display and high resolution... Take, for example, or Alcatel One touch X Pop.
Functionality
The Finnish manufacturer carefully hides any mention of Android 4.1, replacing it with a certain platform "Nokia X 1"... The developers tried to make the interface as much as possible "Tiled" and similar to WP. They were probably in too much of a hurry, because everything turned out extremely badly.
The first suspicions arise with a cursory glance at the lock screen. An attempt to make a similarity from Android is clearly visible here Windows Phone... In addition to information about active SIM cards, current time, date and battery level, oblong tiles with the latest events (messages about the availability of an update, download completion, missed calls, etc.) are displayed here.
The main screen in Nokia X is only one. Everything that is possible is dumped here in the form of tiles: programs, a phone book, an application store, a gallery, etc. All this must be scrolled down to infinity, more precisely, to the end of the list of all downloaded stuff.
Fortunately, shortcuts can be dropped into folders. Also available is the function of changing the background color and size of a particular tile. True, when you try to change at least something in the standard design, the smartphone slows down so that sometimes it is generally difficult to understand what will happen the next moment - will the icon fit into the folder or, twitching, will slip through it?
We make a scrolling motion from right to left and get into the so-called Fastlane screen. The user's recent actions are displayed here, whether it was launching a program, making a call, or saving a screenshot. Don't think of Fastlane as a multitasking task manager - trying to open a recently closed application will restart it. Nokia X is too weak "iron”To keep open programs in mind.
The smartphone lacks many of the usual Google services. The Finns did their best to replace them with third-party ones like their own app store. In terms of fullness, the catalog is very, very far from Google Play. But you can use stores - partners of Nokia, for example Yandex... By the way, after the very first downloads of completely harmless programs, some malicious software disguised itself as an official store and urged to immediately download some nonsense settled on our copy of the device.
It is not known what the developers were guided by, leaving Nokia X with one control key - the button "Back" under the screen. The Finnish smartphone did not look like the iPhone from this, but the users of Android devices, accustomed to three or even four touch buttons, such an approach would be discouraging to say the least.
Most in software shell Nokia X is annoyed not by a wild interface, not by terrible abbreviations of Russian-language inscriptions, but by terrible slowdowns. It happens that you flip through the screen, but it does not react, and only after a couple of seconds it begins to reluctantly crawl in the right direction. It's 2014, but Nokia X seems to be returning to the distant past, when smartphones were not so much smart as slow.
Third-party shell that turns Nokia X into a more or less normal Android smartphone
If you managed to buy this device, it is better to immediately install a third-party shell (it is much faster!), And replenish the stock of applications by installing the .apk files yourself. Also, do not forget to disable the wake up function by tapping - it still works completely randomly. Once Nokia X was in the bag, somehow managed to unlock, start the game and in a couple of hours "Eat" battery.
Camera
The smartphone is equipped with a 3 megapixel camera without autofocus. Another hello from the past when a sign "Cool" phone was the very fact of having at least some kind of photo module.
Sometimes, in the pictures taken with the Nokia X, you can even see quite small details (like windows in a high-rise building). But in general, the photos do not stand up to criticism. We haven't seen a smartphone, even a budget one, for a long time.
Performance and time autonomous work
And here Nokia is showing respectable consistency. The hardware component of the device was outdated the year before last. The model is based on the Qualcomm MSM8225 dual-core chip, which was released in early 2012.
To equip an Android device with only 512 MB random access memory, you need a special courage, which Nokia apparently has in abundance. The built-in memory is 4 GB. It's good at least there is a microSD slot.
How to start a video in Full format HD is out of the question. However, for a display with such a resolution, this is an extra luxury. HD movies get stuttered from time to time, but generally remain watchable. We have already mentioned that the smartphone shamelessly slows down in "Native" menu. Launch on Nokia X "Heavy" the game is not worth trying, he can only do something like Angry Birds.
The device is equipped with a 1500 mAh battery. A full charge is enough for a day of average activity. In our standard testing with the wireless modules turned off and the brightness set to maximum, the device lasted less than three hours while playing HD video - a low result even against the background of cheaper competitors.
conclusions
The Nokia X is a prime example of where the form doesn't match the content, just like in the case of Dr. Frankenstein's monster. But in the Finnish apparatus, the exterior turned out to be more than worthy, and the inside turned out to be obscenely ugly.
During the testing of the device, we got the impression that with this model the manufacturer wants to instill an aversion to Android for those users who first got acquainted with this OS on the unsuccessful example of Nokia X. Who knows, suddenly after that they will switch to Windows Phone.
The price should be mentioned separately. If Nokia X cost less than $ 100, you could close your eyes to all its shortcomings. However, our phone is sold at twice the price. For the same $ 200, the device has a lot of competitors from Huawei, Alcatel, Lenovo, ZTE, Fly and many other Chinese manufacturers. At the same time, they are not needed "Finish" by installing google services and changing "Buggy" shell. The novelty from Nokia can only count on the ardent love of the most devoted fans and on the interest of individual geeks who will be curious to try to turn a nonsmartphone into something similar to an Android model.
Very often, the owners of Nokia Lumiya smartphones are perplexed if they are faced with the task of opening the phone and replacing the SIM card or inserting a memory card.
