You might get surprised by the below numbers. A day after N97 was announced in I wanted to see how different are the high end ones different from the other models of Nokia’s Nseries and ESeries models. Here are the findings. Surprisingly N97 doesn’t have fastest processor and also it is marginally better than that of N95.
Generally the Eseries models had better and faster processors than their costlier Nseries counterparts. Below is the list of processor CPU speeds for Latest Nokia mobiles. The Nokia model with fastest CPU are E52 and E55. The N96 has dual processors (2 ARM 9) . Though the CPU itself is not the only criteria in pricing of the models, but costliest model N97 has a reasonably lower CPU speed than E52 which 50% of N97’s price.
Same with E71 and E63. E63 is exact replica of E71 except GPS and 3G.
Nokia recently updated its E51 candybar business phone with a new E52, a S60 3.2.3 Edition running on the Symbian 9.3 OS core. The phone is loaded with all the top of line features of a business phone but with the numeric keyboard. It has a whopping 8 hour talktime, keeping in line with Nokia’s Business Phones of E Series. It has 3.2 Mega Pixel camera, A-GPS navigation (assisted GPS) , VOIP , Nokia mini Maps, Full internet Browser , Flash Lite and much more. Not to mention this is a 3G phone.
As usual first
The Looks and Coolness Factor
Not exactly a visual delight but its very rare to find a candybar phone without full keyboard in Business phones, and thats what E52 do. Nokia has E71 and E63 for Full Keyboard and Slider design in Business Class phones, and E52 is their Candybar/ Monoblock phone. One of main feautures of Nokia E51 was its stunning thin body and E52 has taken that to another level all together. You can call it one of the thinnest phones around even thinner than the original E51.
We are comparing E52 with other phones of candy bar nature to give you a better picture how this feels. For example E52 is exactly half the thinckness of N73 which is 19 mm thick.
