12MP Nokia N8 gets official

Last night, Nokia finally revealed its latest 12-megapixel HD handset, the Nokia N8 (leaked pictures came in as early as two months ago here). It’s got a large camera sensor that rivals most point-and-shoot cameras out there.


Yugatech 728x90 Reno7 Series

Nokia N8
3.5 inches AMOLED screen @ 360×640 pixels
16 GB storage
up to 32GB via microsSD
256MB RAM, 512MB ROM
HSDPA 10.2Mbps, HSUPA 2Mbps
Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1 w/ A2DP
12MP autofocus camera w/ Carl Zeiss optics, Xenon flash
Symbian ^3 OS
ARM 11 680MHz processor
3D Graphics HW accelerator
FM Radio with RDS
FM transmitter
GPS w/ aGPS support
1200mAh Li-Po battery

This could be the most capable cameraphone Nokia has ever built. Nokia N8 uses a 1/2 inch (1/1.9″) CMOS sensor 30% larger than most compact digital cameras with a maximum shutter speed of 1/1000 of a second (aperture F2.8; focal length 5.4). Video recoding can go up to 720p HD @ 25fps.

That large storage option (16GB internal + up to 32GB external) should be enough for doing all that HD video recording and large photo file size. The AMOLED capacitive touch screen should make video playback really nice and crisp although the 1200mAh battery seemed a little lacking for all that juice-guzzling features (a number of earlier Nokia handsets have 1500mAh batteries already).

The Nokia N8 is set to be released by 3rd quarter of 2010 with an estimated price of Php22,000 before taxes.

    N8 have a very good cam but not so nice in application features.More better to have iphone and android handset than any of NOKIA Units…

    nokia n8 is incomplete in system both its videos and photos are on the same folder, it is not that much in application, but its camera is above all of the phones, that’s the only thing that good about this thing, the rest… i think samsung SGS were best!:D

    What would be the pros and cons of buying this phone from another country? Coz I’m planning to buy the phone in UAE and have it shipped here.

    Just bought it at DEC 9… The entire Metro Manila Nokia store are Out of Stock and even to the non-nokia appliances store… Well end up having the Chrome at Megamall..with the help the reps there. its such an amusing phone.. but i hate the thought of the dark grey is a limited edition… when liked the dark grey and end up with Orange just to have N8 for sake… these are the best of its features…

    – Xenon Flash like the digital cameras
    – Photo editing features like photoshop
    – Most essential application
    – Music playlist interface like itouch
    – Good GPS connectivity built in Asia Map

    Whats not…
    – No handwriting mode
    – Cannot change the keyboard settings
    – No Lights for Night Vision Video
    – On Night Video does not respond smoothly
    – Limited for Black color case (housing)

    Hindi ako nagkamali ng i trade yung HTC desire ko sa nokia n8. OO mabilis ng HTC because of 1ghz procesor kaya kapalit naman ng performance eh battery kahit anong battery saving gawin mo basta android tpos 1ghz madidismaya ka lang for sure. Ive been a nokia user since 5110 pa lol ganun ako ka loyal sa nokia kaya lng triny ko mag HTC desire. OO ganda ng UI pero anong gagawin mo dun? kung mabilis naman ma Lowbat kahit i off mo un mga 3g and etc wala rin. Mga 2nd week lng nagsawa ako agad sa UI ng adroid although daming customization. kung habol mo browsing then mag android ka parang desktop. pero balik ako sa symbian^3 ok nmn sya. wla pa nmn ako naging problem sa N8 ko. sakto lng performance. Impresive sa video and picture taking. para sakin mas ok to kesa sa HTC desire ko. sa mga negative na mababasa nyo tungkol sa n8 wag kyo maniniwala unless kyo mismo merong n8 at na experience nyo. Sakin ok na ok ang nokia n8. sa mga nag hahanap ng mura eto website http://kimstore.multiply.com/photos/album/245/Nokia_Mobile_Phones p21,400 dyan ko binili yung akin
