Nokia N8 New Design

Generally, Nokia has always produced some very nice hardware and the Nokia N8 is not any exception. As soon as you select it up, you'll notice the high-quality construction having its metal finishes and glass exhibit. At 4. 47 inches taller by 2. 32 inches extensive by 0. 51 inch thicker and 2. 91 ounces, the smartphone can be a nice size: big enough undertake a sizable screen but thin and also compact enough to make it very portable and hold. The camera housing around the back sticks out just a bit, taking a bit away from your streamlined design, but it's not a problem.

Gracing the front of the device is a 3. 5-inch, AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display. With a 640x360-pixel resolution and also support for 16. 7 thousand colors, the display is vivid and clear, and we could actually see the contents of the particular screen outdoors. That said, it's not as sharp as a number of the latest smartphones. Compared with devices just like the HTC Evo 4G and the particular Samsung Galaxy S series, text and images don't appear as smooth as well as the pixels are more visible. It won't hamper the phone's use, nevertheless, you definitely notice the difference.

The display supplies a built-in accelerometer and pinch-to-zoom help. The responsiveness of both features can be a bit inconsistent. At times, it could be quick or instantaneous, and with other times, there can be described as a slight delay. This is also true with the touch screen in general. Generally, it registered our touches but there was occasions where it simply didn't respond or it absolutely was so slow to respond that individuals thought there was a difficulty. Also, scrolling through lists and residence screen panels isn't quite as smooth or zippy because it is some competing phones.

Regarding text entry, you get a great onscreen keyboards in portrait and also landscape modes, but you only get yourself a QWERTY option in landscape see. This means that if you would like to type any messages in symbol view, you'll have to peck away by using an alphanumeric keypad.

Aside from the touchscreen display, there are a couple of controls to assist you navigate and perform other functions around the phone. Below the display, there exists a lone key that brings one to the main menu or your home screen if you're in one more application. On the right part, there's a volume rocker, any lock switch, and a photographic camera activation/capture button.

Other features with the Nokia N8 include a strength button, an HDMI port, plus a 3. 5mm headphone jack together with the device. The left spine houses the particular SIM card and microSD expansion slots as well as the Micro-USB port. On back, you'll find the 12-megapixel camera and Xenon display. Curiously, unlike other Nokia mobile phones, the N8 doesn't have any user-replaceable battery. Though we found battery life being pretty good, this is nonetheless disappointing.

The Nokia N8 comes packaged with a large amount of accessories, including a travel charger, any USB cable, an HDMI cable tv, a USB on-the-go adapter, any wired stereo headset, and guide material. Though the included charger features a worldwide adapter, the phone can be powered by way of a charger with a Micro-USB connection. The N8 is also for sale in five colors: dark gray, glowing blue, green, orange, and silver white-colored.
