Unlike its sibling Symbian Belle handsets, the processor of the phone was not overclocked from 1.0 GHz to 1.3 GHz after receiving the Feature Pack 2 software update.
The Nokia 603 features a 3.5-inch ClearBlackIPS LCD display at 360×640 resolution, or 213pixels per inch. The capacitive display supports multitouch of two points and is covered byCorning Gorilla Glass. The screen is coated with Nokia's proprietary ClearBlack polarization filter, which increases visibility in bright sunlight.
The Nokia 603 is the workhorse of the new Symbian Belle OS. The operating system has many bug fixes and a smarter user interface than its predecessorSymbian Anna. Later, with the release of Nokia 808 PureView, a Belle FP2 update was made available for other phones, including the Nokia 603.[2]
Major updates in the Belle FP2 were seen in the phone, including a faster UI with slide unlocking feature, updated browser, updated apps and widgets and finally theDolby Headphone stereo widening feature and lots more.
