Photo quality is decent-there was little image noise, but colors were washed out. Video looks just average on the display.
PerformanceCall quality was quite good. The signal was strong and clear, the audio was free of static and interference, and callers sounded natural. Volume gets sufficiently loud, though audio is distorted with an echo sound at the highest levels. Fortunately, we didn't need to turn up the sound very often, but when we did, our call quality was slightly diminished.
The 5130's music quality is decent, though lacking in warmth. More importantly, the sole external speaker doesn't have the best output. Our tunes sounded best at lower volume levels, even if we could hardly hear them. When we turned the volume up louder, however, the audio became bass-heavy. Headphones will offer the best experience.
