Nokia X7 has the brightest AMOLED tested by GSM Arena
Yesterday, GSM Arena published their Nokia X7 review.
They give the X7 a fair go in their review. On the screen part, something came of quite a surprise on the screen review.
- The front of the Nokia X7 is dominated by an amazing 4″ nHD AMOLED screen
- The screen on the X7 is also the brightest AMOLED we’ve tested
- It’s actually one of the brightest displays we’ve ever tested, LCDs included.
Resolution is what lets it down. Nokia’s really doing great things with screens. GSM Arena also gave the N9′s AMOLED screen high praises, “bordering on perfection”. Engadget likened it to “looking into the eyes of God”.
For the rest of the review it receives some praises:
- Much improved web browser
- Symbian Anna brings a big perceptible change to user experience
- One of the best Symbian devices (though I’d agree with GSM Arena when they say that’s not saying much now)
Cheers @Niraj_7 for the tip!

Interesting. LG claims the brightest LCD with with the Nova display on the Optimus Black. 700nits.
Edit: they did compare it to the optimus.
as the c7, I do think the x7 looks better in person.
Too costly for anyone… An epic fail for a nice phone.
Should have packed this with 1GHz+ proc and 1 GB RAM. with AF camera!
The price is just stopping people to buy this…
Brightest outright, but when turned up to full, the optimus doesn’t do totally black blacks – the X7 does, and still gives the infinite contrast ratio.
thats a pretty sweet screen, wish they had done that in the N8.
Too much costly . I will love to buy another i8910 against this one.
That’s the very first thing I’ve noticed about the X7 before. The screen is very bright. Even brighter than the E7 and C6-01′s CBD AMOLED.
Hello. Can anybody please upload the wallpaper on that particular X7 homescreen pictured above? It’s missing from the rest of Symbian ^3 phones.
Great unbias review of the Nokia X7, unlike PhoneArena, which gave the X7 a score of 5/10 ! They also gave the E6 5.5/10 Thats just madness.
As for the X7, well it leaves me with mixed feelings. According to AllAboutSymbian, the X7, despite having 2 speakers, is only mono. Yep, they said NO STEREO SOUND. How can that be for a music phone? Can anyone confirm this?
Lol Gsmarena said that if this were released in 2009, it would be a killer phone. Which is true. But now everyone has to agree that the X7 is officially outdated. Sorry, but the truth does hurt.
I’m trailing the X7 right now and I can confirm that the speakers sound very bleak and comparable to E7 or N8, so it’s indeed possible it’s mono sound. Yes it’s disappointing, and yes I’m sad that there’s not much going about the X7 except for it’s design and large, bright AMOLED screen.
Elop killed this phone by killing Symbian.
My largest complain with this phone: It somehow has no really strong and unique selling points.
The N8 is cheaper, has a much better camera, HDMI, more built-in memory, just a slightly smaller screen. Performs the same.
The C7 offers a comparable camera, a smaller screen, maybe slightly worse build quality. Yet it is much cheaper.
The E7 has the same screensize, but offers a CB display. It comes with a QWERTY keyboard, the same camera, HDMI. Only compromise made would be the missing SD-card slot. Yet it has a decent 16 GB internal storage.
The E6 has a unique candy bar QWERTY formfactor, designed for both touch operation as well as pure button operation. It is cheaper, offers the same camera, comes with a larger battery. Main gripe would be the much smaller screen.
The X7 simply misses *something*. If the speakers would be stereo, might come with any special entertainment software pieces or even slightly better hardware, it would’ve been interesting. It is too expensive for what it delivers. Only people who might like the more futuristic/agressive design, the particular 4″ screen while leaving out the QWERTY for weight reasons might see an interesting product within the X7. But I really doubt too many people think like this.
IMO this phone is one of the most disappointing and odd products Nokia has released since S^3 was launched.
+1. I think the design is the ONLY thing it has going for it.
That and stereo speakers. Its the only s^3 device with stereo speakers. Those matter when you’re coming from the 5800 XM
Are those really stereo speakers? I’ve heard and read a lot about those being just two mono speakers. AFAIK even a Nokia employee in a german Nokia support board replied the speakers would be mono only.
Please don’t take this the wrong way, but I do laugh when I read people saying that stereo speakers matter on a mobile.
The stereo separation you get when the speakers are a few inches apart is minimal, and doesn’t do anything to improve the experience.
Very Well said.
This is a unique review.
The phone is Excessively PRICED.
