The Nokia CSeries C5 has been introduced

The first member of the new family will be on store shelves with a slightly redesigned Symbian operating system instead of the well-known S40 software.

As it has been rumored for some time in the foreign trade press, Nokia is planning to say goodbye to the legendary S40 system for good this year, and will instead install a Symbian S60 operating system with a revised user interface on the cheaper models, which is expected to be used easily even by users who have not yet owned a smartphone. they will be fine. Well, according to the signs, the first such device may soon arrive in stores, which was given the not-so-imaginative name "C5" in baptism: although the knowledge set of the device with a traditional design can be said to be average, despite this - or precisely because of this - the mobile can be an excellent alternative for many .

The design of the C5 clearly follows the conservative set of values ​​that has led the manufacturer to bring a mobile phone to the top in the past. Whether all this will be enough in the increasingly design-centric mid-range is still questionable, but Nokia's designers will certainly not be criticized for this device. Like its exterior, the C5's knowledge base can be described as average: a novelty compatible with 3G and HSDPA technologies, including a 2,2-inch QVGA resolution display, a GPS receiver, a slot for microSD cards, 50 MB of built-in memory and 3,2 megapixels also includes a camera; in the latter case, the right quality imaging is also aided by an autofocus system and an LED flash. The repertoire did not include the FM radio or the 3,5 mm standard audio output, which makes the device suitable for basic multimedia use.

We still have to wait for the official introduction of the device with the Symbian S60v3 FP2 operating system: for the time being, we cannot report on the exact date of the market launch or the expected purchase price of the device.
