Belle-powered Nokia 603 goes official with a 1GHz CPU and NFC

Nokia introduced a new member of its family of Symbian Belle-running smartphones. The Nokia 603 is a youthful looking, compact smartphone with a 3.5" ClearBlack LCD with IPS technology and a 1 GHz CPU.

The Nokia 603 screen has nHD resolution (360 x 640 pixels) and 1000 nits brightness, so it's probably the same unit that we saw on the Nokia 701. The smartphone offers quad-band 2G and tri-band 3G with 14 Mbps HSDPA and 5.7 Mbps HSUPA.

As for local connectivity, the Nokia 603 comes complete with GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, FM radio, a 3.5 mm audio jack and NFC. The smartphone has 2GB of on-board storage, which can be expanded by up to 32GB thanks to the microSD card slot.

The Nokia 603 fixed-focus camera with an extended depth of field can capture 5 megapixel still and 720p video. Unfortunately, there's no front-facing camera so video-chatting with this one will be quite a challenge.

The Nokia 603 will cost €200 before taxes or subsidies and will come in a choice of colors. The front comes in either black or white and you have 6 different options for the back cover.
