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.
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.
@CuriousOne
Mas maganda nga to sa n900.
just consider yung multimedia capabilities nya. I’ll definitely go for this one..
Pero kung gusto palaging magnet sa phone and di naman masyado gusto ng mutimedia features, N900 suites you.. well fitted kasi ang slide up keyboard and the maemo OS.
N900 is 24k ngayon sa market, so sana malapit lng ang price ng n8 sakanya.. since denisign nmn xa ng nokia na para sa middle class users…:| hehe
@redMine
sana nga wag lumagpas…
mukhang mas maganda to sa N900 eh…
kaso hindi pa din ako makapag decide kung N900 or N8 bilihin ko e…
Sana wag lumampas ng P30,000 pag narelease na sa market.. (fingers crossed)
@ ncute – kung may kilala ka sa singapore mern na.
gusto ko ng bumili ng n8 celpone but saan nmn ako makkabili nito.gusto ko n sya mapasakin pero d ko lam kung san sya mabibili.
which is better? N900 or N8?
naghahanap kasi ako ng bagong phone, as of now, N900 pa lang ang nakikita kong magandang model…
can someone suggest me a good phone? thanks!
is this for real….? http://www.cgena.com/1206/onlineshop/Brand+New+NOKIA+N8+silvers+and+green%3D%3D%3D$280+usd.aspx
wow,so many comments.honestly,im a nokia fan because of its many feats and am already used to it.but then when this iphone thing launched,aun na,im getting confuse na what to really buy.Upon reading all the comments here,it seemed like marami ang my gusto sa nokia,so i would say i’ll go for nokia n lng tlg.
I am an avid nokia user for almost 8 years, whan i switched to apple, everything was fresh and new, then i realized iphone is a major downgrade of my former nokia phones. No free apps, no superb camera, no drag and drop applications, honestly even with an iphone, i still can’t get over my lost n82, it has superb camera. I will be definetley going back to nokia
Yeah, The iPhone is not for professional users. The only reason why iPhones are top sellers is because they “dumb” down the interface for new users. Removal of flash on their browser and little drop down menu options. If you’re a novice user, you choose Android or Symbian. For me, Android is a tad better in usability and in touchscreens, but the new Nokia N8 just packs a punch with the HDMI and USB-in ports. I can’t wait to have this phone!
Oh yeah, that iphone 4 thing. It burns. Dropped calls. Don’t use your left hand with it, btw.
The Nokia N8 is the world’s greatest gadget and phone ever made. Nokia Meego might topple it. Might.
Honestly, everybody bashing iphone here were clearly nokia fan boys. The world has already spoken. Kahit nokia, underdog na sa apple ngaun. what the iphone lacks in features makes it up for its superb user interface and ease of use.

someone try this…
hey guys can u pls update me pag meron na neto here in phil… chaka kung anong price.. thanks alot.. :)
Finally, a xenon phone after the succesful n82. Call this camera phone at its finest. Para sakin mas important ung xenon kesa sa pixels nung camera, the 12 mp is just an added bonus. The feel of the user interface kinda reminds me of iphone, I maybe considering this for christmas along with iphone 4. The only major drawback for me is its appearance. But overall, the features are superb. Bet it will start at a price of 30+k pesos
hayyysss sana nga hindi ganun kamahal pag dumating ito d2 sa pinas… iphone kc ginto ang presyo eh…
dpa nlalaunch d2 sa pinas most probably last week of aug pa ilalabas sana nga d same price lang kgaya sa ibang country bka pagdtng nyan d2 nsa 30k na
kano mo yan d2 sa pinas? mron ba sa sm north?
san po kakabuy nyan? mron ba sa sm north?
Too much info and videos already on N8 on the web. Is it possible we’ll have it sooner than the planned August 24th release? This phone is a must-have for all gadget lovers. I’m not waiting for N9, Meego, or N-thing Nokia plans to get out soon. This N8 is it.
