Nokia has retained the angled edges, which has been a brand in best of their phones. The metal acclimated in the buzz absolutely adds to its charm, and the 701 looks absolutely absorbing in its all-embracing design.

The anthology art occupies a big block of the awning and the shuffle, echo and aback options are amid at the basal of the screen.

Added generally than not, manufacturers array acutely poor headphones that don’t do amends to their devices’ audio prowess, but thankfully, Nokia has accomplished that. The arranged earphones are appealing absorbing and aftermath acceptable sound, with the appropriate amounts of adduce and treble. The loudspeaker is appealing loud as well.
The buzz supports MP4, H.263 and H.264 video formats and MP3, WAV, еAAC+ and WMA audio formats. There’s no abutment for 1080p video playback via the banal media amateur and we couldn’t acquisition any third affair app for that either.
