Nokia N8 is a Moderately Priced Midrange Smartphone

Nokia used to dominate the smartphone segment until the Apple iPhone was launched a few years ago. Now, the company certainly not in the forefront of smart phone sales and in order to revive the falling sales, the company has launched the new phone by entirely changing their strategy. The new Nokia N8 is that phone and you will know about the shift in strategy by taking a look at the phone's impressive hardware specification list. The major issue with the Nokia phones previously used to be the operating system and hence, Nokia has listened to the feedback and included a brand-new operating system in this phone.

Symbian 3 is that operating system and it has a lot of improvements over the previous Symbian S60 operating system. However, it is only users who can tell that if the Symbian operating system has finally caught up with the Android operating system. It has certainly done so with respect to the number of applications available since even though it is the new operating system, there are plenty of apps that are available for the Nokia N8. Running the apps will certainly not be a problem for the 624 MHz processor and it is quite evident from the number of HD games that are available for downloading. The 624 MHz processor does not function on by itself and it does so with the company of graphics accelerator, which is similar to a graphics card seen in the PC. The Nokia N8 on Vodafone out an enjoyable range of entertainment features.

There is a 3.5 inch AMOLED touchscreen and the development of the operating system has been mainly based on usage in touch screen phones. Hence, it is far more easy to use than the previous S60 versions, which found its way into the previous touch screen phones from Nokia like the N97. It is not surprising to learn that such models were a big flop for the company and it is only with the Nokia N8 that Nokia has managed to steady the ship. It is probably the first decent phone to be coming from the Nokia stable in over five years. The Nokia N97 had 16 GB memory internally and there is not too many changes in this regard in the new Nokia N8. Like the N97, it also has 32 GB memory card support. However, the major difference between the two is in the camera and the Nokia N8 comes with a whopping 12 megapixel camera, which not only defeats the N97, but almost all phones that are currently on sale.

The camera comes with HD video recording capabilities. Not only that, it has a number of new algorithms to reduce the wind noise and has video stabilisation feature in order to reduce the unnecessary shaking that come about when you are not using a tripod. In fact, if this phone is provided with a tripod, then in all probability, it will be called as a camera rather than a mobile phone. The phone can be procured with and without contract options in the UK. Moreover, you may also desire to explore Nokia E7 for other available deals.
