Nokia C6: reviews, photos, manual. How to disassemble if the sensor does not work? How do I turn it on if I do not turn it on?

Nokia phones have a long history due to a long period of work of the company. We saw, for example, a line consisting of Lumia phones, which includes dozens of various devices; Or older versions not belonging to any series. One such "stand-alone" is the Nokia C6. This model is not new - it was released in 2010. Nevertheless, at that time it was a worthy apparatus, and we will talk more about it in this article.

general characteristics

Issue smartphones in Nokia started early enough. As we can see, this device, quite suitable for the category "a strong device with touch controls," came out before the presentation of the iPhone 4 and, it is expected, won a lot of fans around the world. Data on how widely the Nokia C6 was sold, we do not have, however, according to the reviews presented on various sites, we can conclude that the phone is quite popular.

And, frankly, it can be understood. At that time, the processor with a clock speed of 434 MHz seemed something ultra-tech; And the operating system Symbian could satisfy all user requests. Even about the device's membership in the category of smartphones can be evidence of a sliding QWERTY-keyboard. Of course, it's difficult to imagine on modern devices, but at that time it was clearly one of the company's experiments on how to get the best mobile phone.

Well, we will not run ahead, but we will begin to characterize the smartphone in order.

Design

Identify any device follows with its appearance. The Nokia C6 case, considering the model year, looks quite technologically - all functions are quite convenient. The case of the device is realized in plastic, which also has a fringing "under the metal" (around the perimeter). The rear part is covered with a plate of aluminum. Despite the fact that the front side does not use these metal parts, it looks quite stylish.

The Nokia C6 itself (photos are a confirmation of this) easily fits in the palm of your hand. Due to round and flattened corners, the model does not press into the hand. As the recommendations of customers show, working with him is quite convenient.

Control

About how the interaction with the phone, it should be said separately. The smartphone Nokia C6 installed an unusual control system, which is expressed in the presence of a special retractable physical keyboard. As you can guess, it includes all the buttons presented in the usual QWERTY-set. The orientation of the device when interacting with it is horizontal. It extends to two parts of the device quite smoothly - in the end, a special springing mechanism contributes to it. In general, the idea with physical keys is implemented at a high level.

In addition, on the Nokia C6 (the review includes photos you can see for yourself) there are other buttons. These navigation elements include buttons for adjusting the sound and turning on the screen.

On the front panel, directly below the display, physical navigation buttons are also located. These are the classic "reception" and "reset" of the call (green and red keys that are available in all phones), as well as a button to go to the main menu. It, as the reviews show, works quite quickly - without delays and braking.

Display

Given that the device was released back in 2010, it is not surprising that the screen is capable of transmitting only 16 million colors. It works on TFT technology and has a resolution of 360 by 640 pixels. The picture, judging by the photo, is not the clearest; The image, of course, changes colors depending on the viewing angle (it becomes darker then completely lightens).

The diagonal of the screen is only 3.2 inches, but given the size of the phone as a whole, the display can not be called small - it fits perfectly into the concept of a smartphone.

Judging by the feedback, the sensor operation can be noted on the positive side, since there are practically no fades or hangings on it. Thus, we have a functional, fairly smart device with the capabilities that modern smartphones are endowed with.

CPU

Regarding the technical "stuffing" of the device, it should be noted that the ARM-11 processor is used here, we already mentioned its clock frequency (434 MHz). Of course, for smartphones with which we interact now, this is just a ridiculous parameter (since there it is about thousands of hertz). In our case, we have an apparatus that does not require large processing power. Here is the operating system Symbian 9.4 (and not "cumbersome" Android), so there is no problem with the processor. Moreover, the developers obviously optimized the interaction of the "heart" of the device and its software shell, due to which we have such a high performance. In practice, it is expressed in a smooth, without delays, work.

Battery

As shown by the Nokia C6 reviews, the phone has a strong battery. At least, technical parameters indicate a battery capacity of 1200 mAh. Even compared to the devices that are on the market today, this is a good indicator. Therefore, we have up to 7 hours of talk time on one charge (or up to 30 hours stated in the audio player mode).

The battery on Nokia C6 is removable - it can be removed after removing the cover from the back of the device. In addition, the battery is fixed also with a special "tooth", which is located in the lower part of the case. In order to access the SIM card slot, the battery must be completely removed. On the forums, buyers ask questions about Nokia C6: "how to disassemble the device?". All is very simple: just use the lowest button on the right side panel, after which the back cover will rise. Withdraw it, get access to all the internals of the devices (including the perimeter bolts, allowing complete disassembly of the phone).

Camera

If you look at the back cover of the device, you can see the eye of the main camera. Near it there is a flash. If you believe the technical specifications, the resolution of the matrix is quite modern - this is 5 megapixels, which allows you to take pictures with a size of 2592 by 1944 pixels. Hardware allows you to magnify the picture up to 4 times.

Still on the front panel of the case there is an additional front camera. Its resolution is not specified - it can take pictures of 320 by 240 pixels. It is obvious that it is difficult to boast of such a size - and it is also not easy to come up with what "optics" can be used for. However, in spite of everything, the presence of two cameras on the phone in 2010 is already good.

Memory

The device with the preinstalled OS Symbian can perform the function of a multimedia player. In addition, it is possible to download various applications and games, which already creates the need to expand the internal memory of the smartphone. This is the subject of the section of our article.

Devoted to Nokia C6 reviews suggest that there is only 240 megabytes of memory available, which, of course, is not enough for most tasks that the phone can handle. Therefore, the developers have provided the opportunity to work with memory cards. The maximum allowable capacity is 16 GB, which is quite enough for such a device.

RAM on the device equals 128 MB, which is not so much by modern standards, but enough for an easy-to-use optimized smartphone.

Connectivity

Opportunities from the point of view of communication with which the device is endowed have little to do with the boundaries of what is customary for us. The phone has a WiFi module that already converts Nokia C6 (the instruction of which provides guidance on how to work with wireless Internet networks) into a potential gadget for surfing, social networking and mail checking. There is also a 3G module installed - with mobile Internet the specified model becomes also a portable access point in online.

Among other things, the phone has a GPS function with which the device is able to navigate the terrain and show the exact coordinates of the location. For the user-friendly output of location information, the Nokia Maps application is used.

operating system

As already mentioned, Symbian 9.4 is installed on the smartphone. If you previously did not have experience with this platform, then the first time you will be surprised how outwardly the shell looks like Android OS. Take at least the ability to unlock the screen with the help of "slider" (a strip on which you need to hold to remove the lock).

Carrying out further actions with a mobile phone, you just make sure of the similarity of the platforms even more. The dial-up screen here is classic, the organization of the phone book and call log also. The model includes a set of all necessary office applications (calendar, converter, clock, email notes and others), as well as an integrated file manager that allows you to conveniently organize information stored on the device.

Separately, we should mention the standard browser Nokia Web Browser, which is implemented in a convenient form for carrying out some basic actions, such as viewing HTML-pages, saving them, adding to bookmarks, searching for them, and so on. The application is convenient enough, despite the fact that most standard applications of this nature do not differ in their flexibility, mobility and user interaction.

Multimedia

Start to characterize the media capabilities of the device, since all applications can be downloaded from the Ovi store. This is a kind of analogue of Google Play for Nokia devices. In principle, you can find everything you need to use the phone permanently: office applications, various "readers", players and a lot of other. However, standard programs are also installed here - this is one game (Bejewelled Twist), as well as Facebook, QuickOffice, Friendster, Bloomberg, Adobe Pdf, Shazam, Youtube, "Risovalka" and others. As you can see, with them you will not feel the lack of content, and even upload, in which case, you can always have a new one.

The audio and video player here is standard, designed specifically for Nokia. The advantage of the device can be considered the possibility of working with headphones from another manufacturer (and not only the "native" headset, as it was before). Reviews show that the sound quality in the device has increased significantly, compared with the previous generation of Nokia.

Also in the C6 model, there is an opportunity to listen to the radio. They installed a new FM-receiver, which has a lot of flexible settings. The function works only with headphones (they are known to be an antenna in such cases), although you can output audio to an external speaker.

The result

As the reviews discussing this model of the phone, as well as our review of the Nokia C6, the device is quite serious, even though it was released 5 years ago. The model has a mass of strengths: attractive appearance, comfortable and thoughtful management, high-quality materials, optimized hardware and software shell. The gadget's "bonuses" are the camera, enduring the battery, the ability to expand the memory to 16 GB, as well as support for WiFi, 3G, GPS communication systems.

All this makes the model described by us a sufficiently strong smartphone, whose popularity is clearly not accidental. This is evidenced even by Nokia C6-related photos .

Problems and solutions

After the review, within the framework of this same article, I would like to discuss some of the problems that users of the device face. In order to make the article even more useful, we will try to bring rational solutions that will get rid of them.

So, one of the most common problems is the situation when the sensor does not work on the Nokia C6. Users note the following typical "symptoms": the device worked properly, after which the reaction to any touch of the owner was suddenly lost. At the same time, the device did not get into the wet environment and, probably, was not subjected to impacts and other damages.

Judging by the feedback on the Nokia C6, the sensor does not work for many. Judging by the users' recommendations, it is impossible to solve the problem on their own - it is necessary to contact the service center for this. They will conduct a complete disassembly of the device, its diagnostics and, thus, will establish what is the reason. From a technical point of view, the problem may be hidden in the main board of the smartphone. It's something you need to replace.

Another issue may be a situation where just Nokia C6 does not turn on. Yes, any user of the device can learn for a couple of times how the procedure of switching on and off the smartphone is going on. So, in a situation that we describe, the usual method does not work. Again, if you believe the published reviews, in this case, the best solution can be repair in the workshop. Specialists can replace the cable that connects different parts of the device, replace the board or light sensors. One of these options should definitely help. Also, as an alternative reason, you can talk about clogged or damaged power terminals, which can also cause such symptoms on the Nokia C6. How do I turn on the device when it is malfunctioning? Obviously, it must be repaired. Doing this yourself at home, without having special knowledge, is not recommended.

The reasons for such similar failures are unknown. Perhaps it's all about the technical equipment of the device, some low-quality motherboard, which was originally installed, and so on. The fact is obvious - judging by many reviews, the owners of this model have a similar defect. It is solved solely by replacement. Of course, there are other types of problems - but they are less common.

In general, the phone deserved attention at the time of its release, so it has gained such popularity in its time. And today at Nokia we see already other models relating to a completely different line of devices.
