Nokia
has always been one of the most popular mobile phones manufacturers. Now that
smart phones are the becoming increasingly popular, Nokia has had to
continually upgrade their phones and they have finally released a phone that can
hold its own in the smartphone market.
The Nokia N8 is one of Nokia’s most popular smart phones and
has many features that will keep users happy with the product that they
purchased. While the Operating system on the Nokia is not considered the best,
the 12 megapixel camera and a few additions to this model keep it in contention
with the other smart phones.
The first feature that makes this phone a good choice for potential buyers is
the camera that is built in. Most smartphones have anywhere from a 5 megapixel
camera to an 8 megapixel camera. The Nokia N8 has all of them beat with a very
powerful 12 megapixel camera that takes excellent quality photos. With the
camera, users can not only take great pictures that they can view on their
phone, but they can also get them printed out and have the pictures look
excellent. With a 1 megapixel camera, a person can print out a standard photo
and have it look crisp and clear. With a 12 megapixel camera, a person can make
use the picture for a poster and not notice any pixilation within the
image.
For touch screen phones, it is very important the screen be strong and has a
great resolution. With the Nokia N8, users will find that while the screen
resolution may be lacking, at least in comparison to some more recently
released models such as the HTC Desire HD, the strength of the screen makes up
for the loss in resolution. The screen is almost completely scratch resistant
(thanks to Gorilla Glass) which may be a big factor for people that have a
history of their phones breaking. The resolution of the phone is 360 by 640
pixels with a screen size of 3.5 inches. This is decent enough for the vast
majority of users and provides a great user experience on a day to day basis.
The internal processor may not be the most powerful on the market; multitasking
is asking a bit much, but for carrying out standard functions it is fine. One
of the better features of this phone is that the memory can be expanded quite a
bit and the phone is actually surprisingly affordable. The standard memory size
for this phone is 16GB but can later be upgraded to double that amount thanks
to a microSD slot. Another feature that user will enjoy is the HDMI output.
Users can connect their phone to their high definition TV for a larger viewing
screen.
Overall, the Nokia N8 is by no means a groundbreaking standard smart phone.
What it may lack in certain aspect, it more than makes up for it in the camera
department, which to be honest, blows the competition out of the water. It is
easily affordable and has a few of the bells and whistles that the more
expensive phones have. The phone is fun to use and is durable enough to
withstand some o the harshest treatment. If you are a fan of Nokia handsets,
their offering to the smartphone market is likely to impress.
