Nokia 7310 Supernova

Introduction:
The Supernova line was announced by Nokia with the idea to offer budget phones, balanced between an attractive appearance, features and price. Similarly to the higher classes, here the main thing for the design is not only to be easy to use but also to be striking and become the reason for the consumer to purchase it. Bold colors are used, including electric green and pink as opposed to the basic boring grey, black and white; a phone with such a panel rarely remains unnoticed, and that’s exactly what the creators of Supernova wanted to avoid.




Design:
The design language of 7310 is typical for the Supernova line and is something new for Nokia. All three color variants have a pattern on the panel, but when touched the plastic reminds us of the low price of the phone.

The numeric keypad and the area around the display are silvery and shiny, which not only creates an interesting contrast but also transforms 7310 in a pocket mirror. We’ve seen this effect in other phones as well, but here, it is very well expressed. It’s a bit darker than the conventional mirror and you’ll have to clean it from the fingerprints, but it’ll do the job. As a result of this of course, suffers the display, making it totally useless in direct sunlight (even if it’s not too bright). Because of the glass, the image is pale even indoors. The QVGA resolution is good and overall is OK for this display, but compared to other models the quality is poor.




Performance:
As we’ve mentioned above, Nokia 7310 Supernova is relatively slow during menu navigation, which we consider as a drawback, easily noticeable in the daily use. Despite not being a serious problem, it will be annoying for some.





Conclusion:
Is Nokia 7310 Supernova worth it? It really depends if you like its appearance. The unconventional image is its key feature, having pleasant, rarely used colors and a slim body. Nevertheless, the materials used for the make, remind us of the low class that the phone belongs to. In theory, Supernova offers multiple functions, but all of them have a mediocre performance, which makes using the device as anything different than a phone pointless. If the music player offered decent quality in addition to the user-friendly interface, the Nokia would have been an attractive model but now we consider it only a handset with an interesting design and mediocre functionality. The alternatives are 5310, which has good musical capabilities and 6301, offering a metal panel and a business image
