The Nokia 600 was an announced but unreleased touchscreen-based smartphone developed by Nokia. It was announced in August 2011 as one of three launch devices for the Symbian Belle operating system. The Nokia 600 was designed as a music-centric phone and would have been equipped with a 106-phon loudspeaker, which Nokia claimed was the loudest it had ever installed in a product.[1]

Features edit

The device would have featured a 3.2" nHD (640x360 px) display and 5 megapixel camera with flash, 720p video recording and 2x digital zoom. It would have offered 2GB of memory, expandable to 32GB via microSD card, and a 1GHz processor.

It would also have featured HSPA (3.5G) network connectivity alongside Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, and NFC.[3]

Music and radio edit

The device was designed primarily for music. The included loudspeaker, according to Nokia, would have made the 600 the 'loudest' phone it had ever produced.[1] The 600 was also to have included FM radio functionality with a built-in antenna, meaning that a set of wired headphones would not have been required for the FM radio to function.[4]

Software edit

The Nokia 600 would have been one of three launch devices for the 'Belle' update of Nokia's Symbian operating system,[1] which would prove to be the final update for the platform before Nokia switched to Microsoft's Windows Phone software.
