Nokia Oro is covered with 18ct gold, but Symbian is still swimming inside
Nokia has announced yet another new phone, still running on Symbian, but the phone looks awfully familiar. It’s called the new Orco, and it’s essentially the older C7 slapped with some gold paint and a rear cover made of real leather. The Nokia Orco still has the same 3.5-inch AMOLED screen, 720p video recording, 8 megapixel camera, a pentaband radio, and the dreadful Symbian OS thought. Price wise, well anything slapped with gold will be pretty pricey. The Nokia Orco is going to sell for €800 ($1,126) before taxes and subsidies and launch is expected in Q3 in select countries across Europe and Asia. Russia in particular is called out as a successful market for such “premium” phones, with Nokia’s Gabriel Speratti, General Manager for its operations in the country, explaining that:
“We have a large number of users who are looking for products with a build quality and superior materials that attest to their success and social standing. In some areas, possession of such premium products is the passport to being taken seriously.”
