The second of Nokia's new smartphones to launch with Symbian Belle, the Nokia 701 features the brightest screen in the world according to the Finnish phone maker. Additionally, it sports a plethora of wireless connections and a fast processor.
Cutting to the chase, the 3.5-inch, IPS LCD with ClearBlack technology has the most NITs (a rating for brightness) of any smartphone display in the world. The display features Nokia's common nHD (360 x 640 pixel) resolution. The extra brightness should make it easier to see the display in direct sunlight, and the IPS features should provide great viewing angles. It also features Corning Gorilla Glass for added durability.
Dimensionally, the 701 is larger than its 700 brother, as it measures 117.2mm x 56.8mm x 11mm (4.61in x 2.24in x 0.43in) and weighs 131g (4.62oz). It is powered by a 1GHz processor, and has 8GB of internal storage. A microSD card slot supports cards up to 32GB in capacity. In addition to the processor is a new graphics co-processor that has faster speed and four times the memory of older Nokia graphics chips. The 701 sports a pentaband cellular radio with HSUPA 3G, plus Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, NFC, and an FM radio. An 8 megapixel "full focus" camera with LED flash is found on the rear, and a secondary front-facing camera is available for video calls. The 701 is capable of recording 720p (1280 x 720 pixel) HD video, too. A 1300mAh battery provides up to 17 hours of talk time or almost 23 days of standby.
The Nokia 701 comes in steel dark, silver light, amethyst violet, and white color options and will hit European markets in Q3. Pricing is expected to be 290 EUR (US$419).
