Looking at the Nokia X6 8GB gives you a strong sense of deja vu, and if you've seen the previous versions of the Nokia X6, then you really have seen this before. The spec sheet on the X6 8GB is almost identical to the original Nokia X6, the only place where you're really going to see a difference is with the internal memory. The original X6 came with an impressive 32 GB of internal space, but there was no memory expansion slot. Shortly after, Nokia released the Nokia X6 16GB, with 16 GB internal memory and again, no memory slot. And now we come to the next handset released under the Nokia X6 name, the Nokia X6 8GB. Obviously, then, this handset comes with an internal memory capacity of 8 GB. And no, there is no memory expansion slot with this version of the X6, either.
But other than that, the new X6 8GB is the same as we've seen before, and already the X6 is proving to be one of Nokia's more popular recent releases, so as it should release at a lower cost price, the X6 8GB should help boost those sales and may even start to sell on PAYG deals, too.
For those that have missed the X6, or just for a quick recap, the handset has a TFT Capacitive touchscreen, supporting up to 16 million colours, with a pixel resolution of 360 x 640, and measuring 3.2 inches from point to point. There is a proximity sensor for auto disable the display when making a call, and an accelerometer for auto display rotation. The display is protected by a scratch resistant glass cover, which should protect against those annoying small scratches that seem to appear from nowhere, and also against pocket rub, if you keep your phone in a trouser pocket.
The X6 8GB offers a high quality, 5.0 Megapixel camera, complete with Carl Zeiss optics and autofocus, Dual LED flash and video light. The video camera facility on the device allows for video capture at VGA resolution, up to 30 fps, whilst the front facing camera, normally used for video calls, can also be used to capture video, at QCIF resolution at up to 15 fps. Geotagging is included on the camera, which allows you to record the location an image was taken, which is stored in the digital data of the photo. This can be viewed when you've uploaded the picture to an online web service, allowing people to view the location from a compatible online maps service.
With the built in GPS receiver also comes the option of using the handset as a portable SatNav device, and full, free access to the Nokia OVI Maps service is also available on the X6 8GB. The Nokia OVI Maps service is a real benefit, offering free voice guidance, and turn by turn directions. With Nokia Maps you can store all the map data locally on your device, as opposed to streaming the maps as you do with some other services. This is ideal for those moments when you happen to be in an area of poor coverage, as well as for roaming, cutting down on the risk of high roaming data charges.
Data connectivity is well featured on the Nokia X6 8GB; a quad band GSM handset, the phone also offers tri band HSDPA connectivity, with download speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps possible. WiFi is also included, 802.11 b/g, with additional UPnP support available.
The X6 8GB runs on the Symbian S60 operating system, v5.0 which is optimised for use on a touchscreen device. S60 is an open source OS, which allows you to add applications and games to the handset, many of which can be downloaded directly to your handset from the Nokia OVI store. The X6 is a competent media device, with a logically laid out music player, which is easy to navigate, and allows you to sort your music into various playlists. The device includes a stereo FM radio, with RDS, and there is also a built in TV OUT option, which allows you to view content from the device on a TV screen.
The new Nokia X6 8GB will be available in three different colour options, Azure, Black and Amethyst, and is expected to launch during Q3 2010, and will have a SIM free price tag of approximately €225.
