Camera quality:
For a 1.3 MP camera good results in bright light and normal lighting conditions. In the darkness makes us the 6131 but, despite night mode setting in the lurch. The result is useless, because hardly recognizable.

Sound quality of the music player
Surprisingly good sound thanks to the powerful and well positioned loudspeaker. The Ups and downs are clearly reflected in the mid and can find no major deficiencies. However, sounding songs with strong bass at max. Volume somewhat distorted. Can remedy the integrated audio controls and the equalizer, which in the recruitment and refinement of the songs clearly audible.

11 MB of dynamic memory for user data (according to manufacturer 10MB for gallery and 1MB of Contact) - far too low. Thanks Hotswap slot is the 6131 but extendable through Micro SD memory cards up to 2 GB.

Conclusion
The 1.3 MP photo / video camera with a zoom 8, sufficient and useful additional settings. Their quality is in normal light, bright light during the day and generally quite good. At dark they can but, despite the existing mode setting night, completely in the cold here and provides no useful results. The MP3 player with its relatively good speaker surprised with a clear sound. The settings are very easy to handle. The radio has 20 slots, the station name also can be stored and is also easy to use. 11 MB dynamic memory are rather a joke and far too low. Expandable thanks Micro SD memory cards up to 2 GB.

It also presents the Nokia 6131 in the elegant optical design and scores with a well-equipped, MP3 player. The built-in radio convinced regarding functional as well as acoustic aspects.
