Nokia X7 in 2022 | Nostalgia & Features Rediscovered!

[@T00nime]

Lumia 800, N8, N9 and X7 was the most beautifully designed phone by Nokia. And all of them was my dream phone back then.

[@simmcho]

My favorite Nokia ever made. Wanted this back in 2011, but was to expensive here. Then I searched for one for years, never came on the local Markets. Now I have a bunch. Still the X7 feels like some ultimate phone out of this world.

[@Retrophonesstuff]

My mind was blown when I found out about the X7. It looks so futuristic. The SIM and micro SD card slots are pretty awesome. I could not find new body shell parts, but I did have a new touch screen for mine and now I'm happy to finally have one in my collection. To change the battery( I don't remmember what model it is, but it's a normal Nokia battery with 3 connectors) you have to disassemble the phone, but it's not that hard.

[@AbdullaZaki]

It's a very cool phone :) So many unique aspects.

[@the_winged_helm]

Yes, the X7. I think it was marketed as a gamer's choice at that time. But that was just silly marketing as it didn't have upgraded internals over the N8 and E7. The design was also hyped, but it wasn't to my taste. So leaving this aside, it didn't really have any selling point over the N8 (far better camera) or the E7 (that sexy sliding keypad). I kinda liked the sleeker and rounded design of the C7 rather. But I really wish I could get an E7 now!

[@AbdullaZaki]

The design for this is definitely a bit too in your face compared to the softer C7 :) But yeah, it wasn't different enough compared to the other lineup for it to sell well, and it was quite expensive too.

[@Rene_vlog]

This is cool if full screen oled. Excited to see nokia on track again

[@digbickboss_bdb]

A morden interpretation of this phone would definitely sell like hot cakes, was so mesmerized by the design when I was a kid

[@freezinfire]

It was really cool phone, I still would enjoy a phone as X7 even today.

[@199gSauerkraut]

Perfect size for a compact smartphone. It should be possible for a successor with actual specs.

[@mikkoajt]

Great video! Could you do more videos on Symbian devices?

[@AbdullaZaki]

Hi Mikko, there are many symbian devices already covered on the channel. N8, E7, N82, N95, N96, and more to come :)

[@mikkoajt]

@@AbdullaZaki Thanks, I'll check those out!

[@georgesingh8284]

I have used this phone and this phone was beast at in its era.

[@ΚωνσταντινοςΓ-ω6φ]

I remember how in love I was with the x3-02 I was using

[@naheedrayhan]

When i was student, X7 was my real crash. But i can't buy it as it was too expensive for me. I used to go to Nokia showroom to see this allien in Sylhet, Bangladesh. I can remember, i advised one of my senior to buy this X7. Still like it. If i get chance i will buy it sure. Thanks for your nice review 😊.

[@celsocosta9970]

after my Nokia x03-02 I almost bought this one but I went to the Lumia line in 2012 with the Lumia 610 that lasted until the Lumia 820 came out 👌

[@wordart_guian]

You should do the 5230 next. It's not an amazing flagship but it's still one of the most popular smartphones ever, and the fact that it was hugely popular and that nokia didn't manage to reproduce its success is the big story ignored by virtually every "analysis" of nokia's fall.

[@Debamalya]

Love this video... Continue reviewing such phones

[@sidokchari]

❤️ still in my lockbox

[@derrek-lee]

I was always hoping for an updated Windows Phone version of this phone

[@wasiwahyudin]

I bought it in 2013 super unique phone looks like transformer. One of my fav features of symbian belle is you can change or edit Theme display and theme effect as you want.

[@patrese993]

Still have my E7. It was absolutely fantastic for its time. At the time, I only wished it had a more powerful processor and more RAM.

[@patrese993]

Oh, and an SD card slot, like the N97.

[@sudiptakumar4847]

My dream phone from those days...

[@jameelomar8513]

I still want this phone!

[@nic7227]

Almost bought one back in 2012 but got my first android phone instead. The lack of auto focus was a deal breaker for me

[@parsipax6337]

Great video! it was actually 640x360, a bit low for 4". Also I'm sad to say that I believe that Nokia deserved to fail, a premium handset that lacks autofocus, to get more sales on the N8, it's just stupid strategy.

[@annaroshchupkina6366]

This phone does look super futuristic :)

[@altabdo1541]

I really want this phone, even for now.

[@hudori_0636]

I used Nokia 6.1 plus and NOKIA 5.4 I like it device I'm from INDONESIA

[@goodquestion1]

I loved the old Nokias, just wish I could get apps for it

[@chiragm5375]

Symbian was the legend, should be include in hole of fame

[@amalendughosh2703]

Nokia X7 is excellent in look. Let's wait for the mobile

[@kforkrish]

Still Remember Tech Reviewers Describing Its Design As A Supercar Like Looking When It Was Launched 😉

[@harishbista7525]

Nokia was way ahead of time, if they would have continued with android instead of windows, we would have seen a alot of futuristic devices. HMD should have continued their Nokia 7 plus designs for every phones with only minor changes. The only phone design from HMD that feels so good.

[@KT43124]

X7 is perfect for today with Android 12. Cool compact phone.

[@haziqsembilanlima]

I vaguely remember that I kinda want this back then. This was the time android looks laughable that buffed phone like this, Sony Ericsson and Blackberry were the big deal. If I recall this still has Ovi Store?

[@AbdullaZaki]

Yup, good old Ovi store was present

[@saqib123ali]

My favourite phone. I wish i could use it with latest software and hardware 🥲🥲

[@farhadhossendhali4823]

I still miss Nokia very much.

[@lensagadget6121]

i think one ui from samsung is similiar with symbian anna and belle ui...

[@dityaharryalitprakoso8447]

This phone is appear in Transformers Dark of The Moon. I still have it..

[@ashishahlawat2604]

Where do you buy these phones from. Will be thank full if you can add the link too. Great video btw.

[@kevinturista]

4:02 is this what I think of. The Taal Volcano here in the Philippines??

[@bravybicky7593]

This was my dream mobile

[@glpzdmd9259]

Is that a volcano in the Philippines called Taal? Looked similar

[@alihejazi2060]

I remember the x7's camera was undefeated back in 2011, i was jealous of my friend who had it, but couldn't appreciate its camera 😅

[@km99999]

When this type new one comes out .!!

[@rahulkmuraleedharan]

Amazing look 🥰🤩

[@diyanaomar9090]

Abdullah, what is your advice for me! Buying Nokia X20? Or wait for a better Nokia smart phone will be released soon!???

[@AbdullaZaki]

Hi Diyana. I don't know if they will announce something better, but no harm in waiting till the end of February to see

[@asifmulla1381]

You are real Nokia fan bahi

[@BatManok-xc3mx]

4:01 is that Taal Volcano?

[@clemenmarv5198]

Got any ideas how to check my mac address for my nokia X7?

[@Mr.AdhaM1]

Still have it imaging that phone an android phone !

[@abhishekkumarshukla6084]

Nokia should launch all three devices in Android...its gonna rock.(Of course with a larger display)

[@rustyholt6619]

soo miss the old days when nokia had all the coolest phones , i hate glass slabs

[@shaunigothictv1003]

Agreed

[@marioeagle93]

Nostalgia.

[@fidod19019]

[@tdpforever84]

People don't know nokia was alian at 20's because it has features now we have in 2021 :)

[@_SJ]

4:00 Is that Taal Volcano?🤔

[@185CMBOI]

I had nokia 2730 classic that time.

[@aporady136]

Where to buy

[@dennyjoy]

Symbian OS👌

[@liveroy]

What's the name of the track you use for title?

[@AbdullaZaki]

Shake and stir

[@alexikenna9955]

Lovely 😊😘😊

[@jatinpatil706]

How to get ?

[@tunglam8210]

Although I lament over the demise of Nokia, does anyone at Nokia HQ care ?

[@easezgin]

Abdulla I like your content and am a fan of these real Nokias. Why don't you consider using a new background music though? This got really boring :).

[@AbdullaZaki]

Thanks for the feedback. I sort of use it now as the channel music. Honestly finding a good track is such a hassle :(

[@Pankajsoragi]

How to buy this phone

[@كريم11]

My old phone i bought 18.99$ in 2016

[@kamalkapoor8801]

I still have nokia x7...but the folder of this is damaged..

[@dimitrismandas]

I can't understand why we can't use those phones now and nokia shut down everything.

[@mdshzhsn]

what happened to phone design innovation?? where did we go so wrong?

[@MosinKhan-ec7hc]

I m waiting 🇮🇳 nokia

[@StomerMadGermzOfficial]

It's sad how phone designs are non existent now ah days .

[@stupidshaitan215]

Give this design A Android update with full display setup #nokia #nokiamobile

[@Ultrainstinct_9009]

I have that phone right now in my hand but not turning on any solution means reply here folks

[@acharyapranoy]

nokia should relaunch this with latest Android

[@TheSimoc]

WAY better than Android. Had TRUE, USER-controlled multitasking, where you could just keep background-running exactly the apps YOU want, not the ones the SYSTEM wants not to kill, and you can easily kill and keep from popping up those apps YOU want to not run. BlackBerry was similarly good. Android has been broken by design since it beginning, and the lack of user-controlled multitasking - which makes it extremely inefficient, insecure, impractical, unuseful, and annoying - will become its demise immediately when a proper alternative emerges. Which will happen less or more soon, due to ever increasing bloat, compatibility droppings, worse and worse UI designs making users more and more fed up, and helped by the component shortage which makes demand for lighter weight software due to reduced hardware capacity obtainable in masses. Times seem promising, let's keep up the hope.

[@AbdullaZaki]

While what you are saying is true, the reason Symbian died wasn't because it wasn't better technically than Android, it was because using Android was a much more pleasant experience on a day to day basis. Symbian had all the technical aspects nailed down, but the final and most important element, which is how a user would interact with it, was weak. I would love to see a true competitor for Android emerge tdoay. I think we need more competition.

[@nasirshal7633]

Others make phones Nokia creats art

[@JesusMartinDzulNoh]

Alguien lo vende aunque sea usado soy de mexico

[@RandomNJ]

I want a new Symbian device. Android ad iOS are stale.

[@NaveenKumar-dy5zf]

Why now a days nokia not bring their innovative phones like this 😒...best brand ever 🔥

[@rikeshshrestha7mail]

Cause nokia is dead and hmd is not nokia but a cheap trash company

[@Brainlizard]

@@rikeshshrestha7mail yes i agree. It feels like hmd just makes phone just for the sake of making it and selling it. Gone are the creativity and the innovativity of the Nokias of old

[@faisal-nl2vf]

HMD wants to cash on Nokia's glory by selling crap products. Thankfully not many people are buying it

[@AlexisTichko]

I was lucky to have the E7. I just loved the design and loved Simbian Ana and the improvements it brought. I was perfectly fine at the time with what Ovi offered in terms of apps and so. Of course, at that time I hadn't yet had any experience with Android and it's store and apps experience so I cannot say if it was worse or something else. At that time I wasn't so focussed on apps but rather in love with touch screen devices. At the same time I had the LG Cookie, the Samsung Star, these kind of devices so compared to the latter ones, the Nokia was far more "smarter". Looking back, the cookie was so hyped but actually plain rubbish in tems of user frendlyness. It was dreadfully slow, laggy and the screen was so unresponsive that typing a simple sms while on the move was resulting in a new language at the receipient side :-). For all these simple, dumbphone kind of activities, the Nokia was superior at all levels. It's soo bad that Nokia abandoned Symbian or the Linux based attempts the did with the N9. It's soo bad that they refused to think ahead and further developed their systems as soon as the rumours of Android and Apple emmerged.

[@AbdullaZaki]

Lg Cookie, Samsung Star, man that brings many memories :) I had used the Samsung Galaxy S before buying the Nokia N8, which is why my experience with Symbian wasn't very good on touchscreens. They were behind Android and iOS, but were fine in isolation. I could see that continuing with Symbian without a major change was not sustainable, but the Nokia N9 fixed everything. It was fantastic to use, and its truly a shame it was abandoned.

[@JOHNWICK-5903.5]

X7-00 is one of the most funky design from Nokia. I love it’s design after N9.

[@Stinger430]

Even with its issues, I loved that phone!!! I'm a sucker for good design...lol.

[@aaronoralan5314]

One of my most favorite mobile design. I had bought one second hand unit in 2019, but spoiled just merely a few months. I tried to find someone to reformat the software but sadly Symbian was died long before this. Watching this video via 8.1 AKA X7

[@RudolfSikorsky]

Symbian is not dead

[@larrylee238]

Not sure if there's anyone like me who is currently not using a Nokia phone, but always have a place for Nokia in my heart. Thanks for bringing all the sweet memories back

[@barneyDcaller]

I hope HMD remake this classic phone.

[@backyardaviator2920]

@4:01 lemme guess,you from the Ph ehh? Since that landscape seems a wee bit familiar lmao Anyways Nice review of one of the Rarest Vintage Phones out there rn,this prolly one of my Dream Phones back then alongside the N8 & 5800 Xpressmusic till the Galaxy S2 & S3 took its spot

[@BISHOOO1]

"Even tho it's 11.9 mm thick, you really don't feel it at all here" That's what she said

;)

[@ANINDYA-001]

This phone deserves a photo with cybertruck side by side

[@navaneeth.p.uunnikrishnan2231]

Hey...i bought Nokia 5.4 6gb/64gb phone last week..it is nice

[@Chhatrapati72]

I want nokia to be making comeback with everything new

[@SR-be5hr]

Instead of the rows of substandard mobiles Nokia is pushing on the consumers, I think they should continue the Lumia series with android

[@shaunigothictv1003]

Agreed

[@davie_grrr]

I never understood why Nokia at some point decided that autofocus was no longer necessary on the cameras of its non-camera-centric smartphones

[@AbdullaZaki]

One of many stupid decisions that led to their downfall.

[@curious_Bot]

This was such an awesome phone; I used it for a long time and the display, camera and speakers were really nice. Some of my fondest memories were captured from this phone.

[@rakamartan7476]

I like nokia 😭 legend 😭 love from indonesia
