Almost everone knows about apple iphone and its built quality. And some also know about the HTC One. The idea behind Nokia 515 is to bring that high built quality of the likes of iphone and htc one to the feature phone. This phone is made for the elite users. Its body is carved out of a single piece of anodized and sandblasted aluminum, the screen is made out of gently-curved and polarized Gorilla Glass 2 and the keyboard is built from hardened polycarbonate resin. It is made for simple users. Those who want full fledged smartphone may buy 520. But this is elite class built quality mobile phone. Get your hands on one of these you will know what i am talking about
A simple and minimalist design with premium quality material used, nothing less than a masterpiece with a precision crafting. Actually, problem is not with the phone but the people, dumping their lack of commonsense on the pretext of reviewing this phone. Most of us have gone so blind with value for money that we fail to notice finer aspects of life, and aesthetics being one of them. Keeping a full fledged latest smartphone, I was looking for a capable dual Sim secondary phone which doesn't fail with network, have 3G capability, easier to accommodate and have a premium look. Meeting all my needs, this has blazing fast 3G modem capability, HD sound/voice clarity, premium metal finish with an elegant look and a best in class Corning glass wrapped display!!! If you could get beyond specs and enjoy simplicity of possession, just have it in hand n feel it's luscious lavishness!!!!!
There are certain reasons that makes the phone costly.I would recommend everyone to follow specs from nokia website.The specs that makes the phone costly are-n** The corning gorilla glass 2.n**premium sand-blasted aluminium for a classy matt finisht. With a durable curved display and excellent readability in direct sunlight.n**Main camera focus type: Full focus technology (EDoF) n**3.5G network connectivity.n**Maximum standby time: 33 daysn Maximum talk time (2G): 10.4 hn Maximum talk time (3G): 5.3 hn**Camera video frame rate: 30 fpsnThis a phone where all the quality components come together in a basic phone.Now the choice lies on the buyers hand whether they want to go only for specs or quality product with useful specs.
First to clear the air, people who have no concern about the quality of a product they are buying, please do not comment. A company provides different lineup of products to cater to people with differing tastes and differing tasks. If that does not cater to your taste, just say it is not for you. Do not go yakking about things you do not know or understand. nnPeople who are to buy this product are ones who dont care how many cores the processor has, or indulges in PPI wars over small displays or yak about how many apps she/he has on their phone. This is a product for serious people looking to buy something with exquisite quality and providing most of the functionality they expect to use in a phone. nnThis device looks great, feels better and does everything you expect in a feature phone. It is built to last (Please.. please do not compare it with the "toys" offered by Sony, Samsung, HTC, Micromax, Lava etc). It has great network reception and voice clarity. nnIf only it offered WiFi.... Heck, does not make much of a difference.
I purchased this phone a week ago. Well as Nokia claims the phone looks good and it does everything that its specification says. I think people are saying its overpriced but because of its looks and build quality it becomes worthy (though Nokia should have bundled wifi in it).This phone looks much prittier in white than black.
