Nokia launches two new camera-centric phones

In the camera-phone department, Nokia has regularly lagged behind Sony’s Cyber-shot series and Samsung’s high-end handsets. The company is not seeking to reverse its fortunes with two new offerings, the Nokia 6700 Classic and the Nokia 6303 Classic.
 
 
The 6700 is the big brother of the two, featuring a 5-megapixel sensor while the 6303 settles for  3.15-megapixel pictures. Both cameras are equipped with autofocus and LED flash, and can shoot VGA video footage at 15 frames per second.
 
While both phones come with a 2.2-inch screen that displays 16 million colours at a resolution of 240×320 pixels, the 6700 also has an accelerometer fitted underneath to auto-rotate the screen when you change your orientation.
 
The 6303, on the other hand, is a bit more music-minded as it features a 3.5-mm audio jack to connect your favourite headphones.
 
The 6700 has 170MB of internal memory, while the 6303 comes with 64MB built in. Of course, this can be expanded with a microSD card of up to 16GB for the 6700 and 4GB for the 6303.
 
For connectivity, both phones feature EDGE, Bluetooth 2.1 and a microUSB port. The 6700, though, goes a bit further and throws in 3G and GPS too.
 
As for battery life, the 6303 classic will give you seven hours of continuous talk-time, while those on the 6700 will have to settle for a slightly lesser average of five hours.
 
Considering these specifications, pricing the 6303 classic at Rs 8,000 and the 6700 classic at Rs 14,000 seems quite fair, yes?
