Nokia 5130 XpressMusic
Nokia success story so far can’t be separated with the market strategy that very dynamic, right to the target, and always down to earth. After success attracting high class market with N and E series, now Nokia try offering entertaint cell phone for middle class by the newest Nokia 5130 XpressMusic. Will it work ?
This is not the first Nokia XpressMucic at the price 1,5 million rupiah. In a few times before we’ve known with Nokia 5220. Although, people estimate that N 5130 will be the cheapest XpressMucic under N5220. But how about the quality ? Let’s we find out.
Design
N 5130’s design is not different from the other XpressMucic family which is familiar with candybar model. it’s not as thin as Nokia 5220 xpressmusic but more similar with Nokia 5320. The real difference is in the material choice. N 5130 prefer to reduce the weigt, sometimes it looks like a toy but this is suitable for the teenagers market, especially for girls.
Some trick are used in the monitor display. There are dot textures effect as long as the metallic lis surround the monitor , this effect is produced by a number LED under it. In the left side, you can see three multimedia icons to represent the multimedia buttons.
The second Trick is on the speaker. To get louder sound, the speakers is bypassed through the small holes which located on the casing, this is coated by such thin membrane, then arranged in such way to create any exciting appearances. Actually this is a great job, but what is the importance of this appearances ? For attracting the customers or what ?
Interface
Different with the XpressMucic products before, 5130 doesn’t use any open operation system. It means that there is no Symbian in this cell phone. The developers platform which is used is 40 Nokia series 5th edition feature pack 1. This is Nokia closed operation system based on MIDP 2 java technology. The display looks so simple, right in stand mode or when you get in the menus icon.
Now let’s chek the screen condition. The screen that is claimed as TFT just more similar with CSTN. The color depth has reached 18 bit (262,144) with QVGA resolution, but it doesn’t seem in maximal perform.
Excellent features
Although 5130 doesn’t use open operation system, it’s still one of Nokia XpressMucic phone. It has provide a number of pre-installed codec that can support multiple music files. Among AAC, AAC +, AMR, eAAC, eAAC +, MP3, MP4 and WMA.
The music player is Multitasking, so it will still playing the music even if we exit the application. We can control it by using the button facility.
For audio quality, we can hear it from the speaker phone. Louder sound that is produced by the speaker make 5130 looks like China mobile phones. It is a little bit tacky, but some people prefer this condition because they could enjoy the music together with friends.
Next, we will try to see the audio quality by using the headset. With 3.5 mm audio jack on the phone, we use two different headsets. First, from the original version, and second from manifacture product that usually being used for review the MP3 player.
The original 5130 headset has good quality, but the second headset is given better audio output. You also can control the audio output via equalizer.
The other Multimedia Features
Beside the multimedia player, 5130 has 2 Megapixel digital camera, without autofocus and flash. The result is not so bad, especially for outside pictures. This camera is also can record standart video. The resolution is small enough with 15 fps frame rate. It’s completed with FM radio and video player with 3gp and MP4 formats. Although it has small internal memory only 30MB, but this is include pre – install application. It’s also has microSD slot as additional memory. The maximum capacity is 2 GB, enough for save some mpeg-4 videos.
Internet and browser
The internet access is provided well by this cell phone. Although it’s only via GPRS and EDGE. For open site service, Nokia provide the best browser called Opera Mini.
Connectivity
To make any connection with the other hardware, 5130 is completed with microUSB software version 2.0 and the newest Bluetooth. You can also hear the music via Bluetooth stereo headset.
Battery
XpressMucic Nokia 5130 is supported by lithium battery with 1020mAh. This big capacity is dedicated mostly for the music player. And if the music player doesn’t often used, the phone can stand until three days of charging.
The Conclusion
With the prices estimate at 1.5 million rupiah, N 5130 comes with the unique approach. Comes with A little tacky design and loud sound from the speaker sometimes interesting for some people. Unfortunately, the minimum network features could be a resistor. But , this is belong to Nokia brand and that can be the reason why you have to buy this.
