Nokia 8910i Review

The titanium Nokia 8910i became quite popular right after its release. At the time of issue, he had a high price. It is justified by the technology of creation, the mechanism of disclosure. The device was sold only in one color variant - black. The screen is color, supporting up to 4096 tones. The device also differed from its "related" models in that it began working with Java.

Characteristics

The phone has a size of 4.6 × 14 × 0.2 cm. The device fits perfectly in both pockets of clothing and in the holster. The weight of the device is 112 grams. Some consumers consider this indicator negative, but if you look at the other side, then most of the weight is made by the titanium case. It protects the phone from scratches, deformations when falling and so on. Color does not start to "cloud". The disclosure mechanism is standard. In order for part of the machine to extend, you must simultaneously press the two keys located on the side. From the previous model (Nokia 8910) 8910i differs in that its mass is more by 2 grams. In this case, the process of disclosure is rather slow. But it should be noted that the owners spontaneously did not open the device once. The phone works with 2 SIM cards.

Keyboard

The keypad on the phone is chrome plated. The Nokia 8910i has a so-called wave. Thanks to her the device looks much more attractive. The keys have side lighting. Therefore, in the darkness neither numbers nor letters are visible, it is difficult to print. The bottom row of buttons is uncomfortable. This is due to the fact that when you click on them, the case is touched.

Display

The Nokia 8910i screen can display no more than 4 lines of text at the same time. If you compare the device with the previous ones from this manufacturer, then this indicator is significantly reduced. Unfortunately, the colors are dim, the brightness is small. Because of this, the picture seems dirty and dark. At first glance, the model in the standby mode can recall the previous one - with the index 8910. By the way, it has a much better display. The only advantage of the screen can be called only the presence of colors and the rejection of monochrome.

Battery

The manufacturer of the Nokia 8910i used a battery with a capacity of 750 mAh. The developers claim that the device is able to function 300 hours in standby mode. If you actively talk on the mobile network, the device will be discharged after 4 hours. Comparing this version with the "related" one, it should be noted that the 8910 model showed much better results. If the modification of the 8910i lasts 4 hours, then the previous one with the same operating conditions - about a day. The charging process up to 100% takes about 2 hours.

Nokia 8910i: how to distinguish a fake

It is necessary to pay attention to the case. The fact is that the Chinese prefer not to create new details, but use the old models. In fakes do not use a titanium case, so it will seem different to the touch. The original part is matte and rough, painted by special technology, the nuances of which are classified.

Due to the fact that the body is made incorrectly, the counterfeit device feels like a plastic one. The paint is applied in a thick layer and it is not difficult to see that its color and texture is very different from the original version. There is no feeling that there are metal parts in the Nokia 8910i phone.

The original is delivered with letters on a gray keyboard. If the purchased device has white and convex keys, then you can be sure - the front panel is fake.

Sometimes consumers claim that the non-original phone is one with an additional alphabet on the keyboard besides Latin letters. However, this nuance can not be considered an indicator of forgery. The manufacturer has released this phone for many countries, so there are models with Arabic, Chinese, Korean, French and other symbols.

The company logo should not have gaps around. In the original model, it occupies the entire area of the notch in which it is located. Logos of small sizes have corrugated (less often - glossy) design.

In the original model, metal elements are specially numbered. This refers to the battery compartment cover, phone housing and front panel. To verify the authenticity, you will have to disassemble the device. On the battery cover number can be viewed without carrying out various manipulations, it is enough to remove it. In general, this nuance does not guarantee 100% authenticity of the device. Moreover, the manufacturer sometimes applies a number under the metal surface, and from above installs plastic.

The rear logo must have a chrome-plated finish. The original model is smooth and smooth. All letters are mirror and clear.

A genuine protective case on both sides has special buttons responsible for opening it. There is a millimeter suture. If it is convex or "superimposed" on the center of the plastic part, then the body is counterfeit.

Finally

The Nokia 8910i speaker shows itself on the good side. Speech and sound at an excellent level. The device was pleased with the color screen and functionality, which was so lacking in the model 8910.

On the one hand, the device has a good set of options, but on the other - a large number of shortcomings. At a minimum, the manufacturer has built a poor-quality display, the phone's life is clearly not happy, and "bluetooth" works with some failures. The design of the device is no different from the external design of the model 8910. A small advantage is Java. It can not be called a global update, since the amount of built-in memory is quite small. Even if there is enough storage for installing software, a poor-quality and dull screen is unlikely to work comfortably with the device.
