This is Phone Arena’s video review of the Nokia 6131. The European version of the 6216 that is expected to launch with Singular really soon. The 6131 is relatively watch clamshell with internal antenna. The overall construction quality is solid but there’s very known noise when the show is open at the phone booth next to the year. Black mat and super glossy plastic are the used materials and phone feels very comfortable in the hand.
On the front are the external display which has 262,000 colors. And the camera just above. The clamshell is easy to open thanks to the newest mechanism. The internal screen is large with its 2.2 inches SQVGA resolution and displays up to16 million colors. But overall the image quality is not that good as the colors are not saturated enough and the contrast is too low. Yet it is pretty bright and can be seen in direct sunlight.
Below it is the keypad. The keys are made of dark plastic and are black but backlight into white but they’re hard to press you do not like entering text with it. The main menu is a three by three grid upped icons with scroll. The icons are animated but were very boring. Thanks for the themes the icon design can be changed.
The contacts menu is a standard one and the names are displayed as a list. The same goes for messaging. We won’t find anything in here. The organizer has an alarm and a calendar but also a scientific calculator the media menu houses the music player and the radio. The player is very simple and its only option is the equalizers.
The camera has a very ugly interface and almost no options. The images taken with it are okay but the colors are not correctly reproduced and there is a lot of noise if the whitened is not bright.
The ring and music play volume is very loud and clear but that’s not the case with the sound from the earpiece which is hard to hear in noisy environments. Overall for mid range device, the phone offers decent set of features with good design.
