The Nokia N8 is out and is being touted as Nokia's answer to Android and Apple, being the very first Symbian smartphone manufactured by the company. However, the question is, can it really compete with the market space occupied by other smartphones, or even with its own predecessor N95?
The phone practically comes filled with every feature that one would want in a smartphone. Not only that, the smartphone is probably the best of what Nokia has given so far. The smartphone looks quite promising considering its looks and features. A smart camera, video facility, Dolby 5.1 and HDMI output, truly makes it a multimedia device.
The camera is probably one of the best features of the smartphone, where features such as color tone, white balance, contrast, flash control and ISO sensitivity can be easily adjusted. With 12 megapixel, auto-focus, xenon flash, mechanical shutter and Carl Zeiss optics, you can safely leave your digicam at home. You can even take HD videos using the same camera at an amazing 720p HD, much better than even what some of the digicams offer.
The device comes with 16 GB internal memory along with a MicroSD card of 32 GB, so you can safely play your movies in true HD. It also enables access to Ovi Music Unlimited Service for you to download and listen to your favorite music. The 3.5" touchscreen is an absolute delight in terms of display and effects, especially when watching movies or videos on YouTube.
The built-in graphics processor is pure joy for avid gamers. With new Web Browser, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth 3, FM Radio and 10 Mbps HSDPA, what more can one ask for. The only thing that can probably hold it back in the market is its user interface, which looks pretty outdated compared to other such devices. Supporting almost every email service out there, Nokia N8 truly looks to beat the competition.
