The Nokia 701 is a bit more of a high-end device than the Nokia 600 and Nokia 700. Its biggest selling point, however, is its display. The smartphone has a 3.5-inch IPS LCD display with ClearBlack technology, which Nokia says is the brightest on the market today. The screen is also protected by Corning Gorilla Glass.
