Guide Review - Nokia 6133 Review

The Nokia 6133 is a sound phone without anything special to rave about. Battery life is below average and it takes a while to recharge it. The quick camera access button is too easy to press and does not require to be held for a moment to start the camera, it fires instantly: sometimes, we would pull the 6133 out of our pocket to find out the camera was on. Speaking of which, the camera took below average pictures.

The keys on the keypad could be more raised, it wasn't as good as other similar Nokia phones' keypads. Sound quality is good, certainly one of the strengths of the Nokia 6133, but it also has a bit too many high frequencies, which may make it annoying to sensitive ears. Another weird sound issue we noted is that your ear must be really aligned in front of the earpiece or you won't hear much.

That said, the Nokia 6133 is not a "problematic" phone, just not a fantastic one, but it has great sides. There is an auto-flip button: just press it and the clamshell cover opens. The casing feels nice with a flat paint texture. The keypad's backlight is very well done, we had no problem using it at night. See the links below for a list of features and more options on the Nokia 6133.
