Nokia X7 and E6 smartphones announced

Nokia has announced two new additions to its smartphone lineup, the Nokia X7 and Nokia E6. The two new handsets are the first phones to include the latest Symbian^3 software, codenamed Symbian Anna.

According to Nokia, Symbian Anna  delivers a better user interface with improved icons, better touchscreen typing, a new web browser and ‘refreshed’ Ovi maps.

In fact Nokia has produced a short video to show us exactly how much better Symbian^3 is now.

The older Symbian^3 models (N8, E7, C7 and C6-01) will be updated to Symbian Anna in the coming months though no date has been confirmed so far.

Like the rest of Nokia’s X series, the X7 is an entertainment-focused device. It has a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen which Nokia claims is ‘ideal for gaming’ and also X7 packs in an 8Mp camera that’s capable of recording HD quality video.
