This handset could mark the re-entry of Nokia into the mid-range cellphone market.

When Nokia revealed the N9, the N950, and more recently the Sea Ray, most of us started to think that the company will maintain focus on the high-end smartphone segment for a while. With low-end Symbian smartphones currently available in the market, it wouldn't have been wrong for someone to think that these phones will be the last lot of mid-range Symbian devices. Now, here is a handset which will mark the entry of the Symbian Anna platform into this particular market segment. This new handset will be known as the Nokia N5. Images of this new handset have now leaked, displaying the handset in all its glory.

There is still some confusion over the operating system of the handset. While the source claims that this handset could run on Symbian Anna, it looks strikingly similar to the MeeGo platform. The hardware aspect of the Nokia N5 points towards a decently priced handset. The display looks like a 3.2", and there's a neatly placed 5 MP camera on the back. Physical buttons are present on the front, which is a good addition on mid-range handsets. A volume rocker is placed on the right hand side of the handset, and the left side is left plain. The device is currently a prototype, so the actual announcement could be made in a few days. Hopefully, the device will be launched soon, unlike the Nokia N9 which will not be launched in India initially. Also, according to the source, an N6 and N7 are on the cards, which could possibly be revamped versions of the N5.

The images show the N5 posing green and black colours. The user interface has seen improvements as compared to the current Symbian S60 v5 seen on most low-end Symbian smartphones. This clearly shows that the company is not merely focused on preparing flagship handsets; emphasis is being given the low-end market as well.

Here are a few more leaked images of the N5:

Nokia E6 Up For Pre-Order In India

                                     

                                            This will be the first handset based on Symbian Anna.

Nokia's hottest new smartphone: the E6 is now available for pre-order on Nokia India's website. The Nokia E6 will be the first smartphone to come out with the latest iteration of Symbian i.e. Symbian Anna. Being the first device to come out with Symbian Anna, expectations are high. The Nokia E6 will cost Rs 17,999 according to the website.
 
Speaking of specifications, the smartphone will have a 2.46" display with pixel dimensions of 480x640 and will have an 8 MP camera capable of recording 720p video at 24fps. The phone has a physical QWERTY keypad with a capacitive touchscreen; though this is not one of those touch and type phones that the company has launched so far. The processor is clocked at 600 MHz like the previously launched QWERTY phone the E5, but the E6 comes with a 2D/3D graphics accelerator and a few other graphical enhancements. It also comes with 8 GB of built in storage

The Symbian Anna operating system is said to improve a lot of the core features of the Symbian platform. While this might not be the perfect device to learn or test Symbian Anna's capabilities, it should give us a brief idea about some aspects of its functionality (given its relatively small form factor). We think that the yet to be launched Nokia X7 should give us an idea as to how Symbian Anna fares. That being said, nothing can be taken away from the E6. The spec sheet looks quite good and promises some thrills nevertheless. Dubbed as the business phone, your emails and messages will be taken care of with subtlety; the QWERTY keyboard helps the E6's cause here. The handset is not extravagantly priced unlike most flagship phones by Nokia, but it's not too reasonable either. At the end of the day, it's really a matter of preference. We've come across a bunch of business phones from Nokia, the E5 being the most recent addition, but there is no doubt that this handset does up the ante a bit. You can pre-order the Nokia E6 from theNokia India website.
