CPU600 MHz ARM11 in GSMArena's exact production review; no specific chip identity inferred369 MHz ARM11 processor identified by GSMArena's exact-model production review
MemoryUp to 60 MB internal user storage in the maker datasheet; headline storage records that maximum. 128 MB RAM from GSMArena's exact review, not inferred from free memory.128 MB installed SDRAM from GSMArena, distinct from free application memory. Maker publishes up to 110 MB internal user memory; the configuration records that user-accessible capacity.
Storage typemicroSD expansion up to 16 GB and 1 GB card supplied in maker launch/datasheet; not E60 RS-MMC or E62 miniSDmicroSD expansion up to 8 GB in the maker launch sheet; optional card capacity is not built-in storage

Video recordingVGA 640 × 480 at 15 fps in both production reviews; panorama stitching is a separate still-photo modeMaker specifies QVGA video; GSMArena's production test records 320 × 240 at 15 fps
Camera features–Dedicated shutter key; scene, white-balance, exposure, self-timer and sequence controls in GSMArena's production test. Its tested software does not geotag photos.
Battery and charging
Battery1,500 mAh1,000 mAh
Wireless chargingNoneNone
Battery life detailBP-4L 1500 mAh Li-Po; maker datasheet claims up to eight hours GSM/six hours WCDMA talk and 23 days GSM/29 days WCDMA standby. Review endurance varies with use; not video playback.Removable BL-4U 1000 mAh Li-Ion. Maker maxima are 7.5 hours GSM or 3.5 hours WCDMA talk, and 11 days GSM or 14 days WCDMA standby. These are network operating conditions, not video-playback claims. GSMArena's stationary GPS/display-on test lasts six hours.
Wired chargingCharges through micro-USB, including a compatible USB data cable; exact guide says cable charging is slower and a USB hub may not work. No charging wattage inferred.Separate charging connector; compatible Nokia charger. No charging wattage published in the maker datasheet; micro-USB data support does not establish USB charging.

Weight detailMaker datasheet gives 98 g and 116 × 49 × 9.9 mm; no different configuration or hardware borrowed from E55Maker launch sheet rounds size to 107 × 49 × 13 mm and gives 121 g. GSMArena measures/lists 107.5 × 49.5 × 13.6 mm; that greater precision is review evidence, not a silently substituted maker claim.
Materials–Stainless-steel rear cover and slider body; numeric keypad slides out below the display. This is a mechanical slider, not a folding or flexible-display phone.
ColoursMetal Grey Aluminium, Graphite Grey and Golden Aluminium in maker datasheet; manufacturer launch gallery covers Metal Grey and Golden AluminiumGrey Steel and White Steel in original maker launch sheet; regional availability varies
ButtonsNumeric keypad, navigation key, Home/Calendar/Email one-touch keys, side volume and voice controls; exact guide describes shortcut customisationNumeric keypad, navigation control and one-touch Home, Calendar, Contacts and Email keys; dedicated shutter and side volume controls
Sensors–Accelerometer and ambient light sensor
SpeakersMono loudspeaker, music player and FM radio with RDS; wired stereo and Bluetooth A2DP audioBuilt-in loudspeaker and FM/Visual Radio; GSMArena reports no RDS. Compatible wired headset serves as radio antenna.
Software
Operating systemSymbianSymbian
Software at launchSymbian OS 9.3, S60 Third Edition Feature Pack 2 in GSMArena's exact production reviewSymbian OS 9.2, S60 Third Edition Feature Pack 1, identified by GSMArena's production review
Software featuresMaker datasheet lists Quickoffice editors, mobile VPN and business/personal email. Both production reviews test supplied editing; owner guide qualifies editing as requiring the editor version. Early firmware/service differences retained, with no claim that historical online services still operate.Business/personal home-screen profiles; Mail for Exchange, Nokia Intellisync and POP/IMAP email. PDF reader, ZIP manager and office-document viewing; editing required a Quickoffice upgrade in GSMArena's test, whereas TechRadar describes document creation. Exact tested software/upgrade status differs between reports. Historical online services may no longer operate.
Release detailNokia announced E52 on 6 May 2009 and planned second-half2009 availability. Maker's 2009 sustainability report lists it among products launched that year, and August production reviews establish retail units. Earliest maker-supported on-sale month unresolved, so year precision retained. No E51 predecessor link inferred from secondary descriptions.Announced 16 June 2008 alongside E71, with July shipments forecast. Nokia's 2008 annual report confirms actual E66 shipments during that year; earliest worldwide retail month remains unresolved. No speculative E65 predecessor relation added while that model is absent.
In the box–GSMArena's tested package contains a compact charger, 2.5 mm headset, leather case and 2 GB microSD card with maps; regional contents may differ
