The camera has a resolution of 3.2 megapixels, it has autofocus and two LED flashes. The highest available resolution for photos is 2048 x 1536 pixels, while videos can be recorded at 640 x 480 pixels. The camera’s software is the well-known one from other Series 40 handsets, it’s easy to use, but it doesn’t have much settings. We can tamper with basic stuff like white balance, JPEG compression, etc., but let’s just forget sensitivity or light metering.
Image quality is average, this camera is perfect for archiving interesting and memorable moments, but we can see that this is not a camera phone. At 100% zoom we can see that noise level is quite high even in a sunny weather, the software trying to (unsuccessfully) compensate this with a powerful noise filter. The photos won’t be rich in details, the colors are quite pale as well – but I’m very satisfied with video recording, the only problem being that the picture becomes very pixelated when recording fast motion. Here’s a short test video (3GP format, ~2.5 MB).
There are no problems with the music player either. It can run in the background, it can filter tracks by ID3 tags, it displays album covers, has an equalizer, it can seek and it’s fast. The FM radio is similarly good, I had no problems with it.
The HS-48 headset that comes with the phone is a medium quality one. When turning on the handsfree I had some mixed feelings, as thanks to the metal case there is barely any distortion and it’s loud enough, but practically we will hear only the medium frequency range. We are still waiting for the Nokia that has a sound quality at least close to the one of 6290.
