The Nokia N8 is a Symbian^3 smartphone from the Nokia Nseries. Featuring Carl Zeiss
optics and xenon flash, the N8 is the first Nokia camera phone to utilise a 12 megapixel camera
sensor size of 1/1.83″, making it the largest image sensor in a
camera phone at the time of its launch. The N8 display features a 3.5-inch (89 mm) 360
x 640pixel capacitive
touchscreen, and is the first Nokia smartphone to run on the Symbian^3 operating system
with single-tap interaction, featuring the addition of multiple home screens, customisation
abilities, andmulti-touch capabilities with gesture support.
Among its connectivity features
areHDMI out, USB On-The-Go and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n support; the N8 is also the first device to feature aPentaband 3.5G radio. It was Nokia's flagship device
for 2010.The Nokia N8 feels great in your
hand. It’s mostly made from anodized aluminum which
comes in vibrant colors. The chrome accents around the
camera lens, camera button, and volume controls get the thumbs up too. There are no wiggly parts
and the buttons all feel solid. As expected, the hardware design is top-notch. The build quality is excellent, too. The screen is made of gorilla glass which is damage
and scratch resistant.
The rear of the phone
prominently shows the N-series
branding and houses the crowning jewel of the N8; its 12MP Xenon-flash assisted
autofocus camera. Because of the complexity of the camera module and the associated optics
used in the N8, the camera itself (along with the loudspeaker) is housed in a bulge, and as a result the phone cannot lay flat on any surface. While that in and of itself
isn’t an issue, what concerns me is the possibility of excessive visible wear appearing on the
lower part of this bulge as it is the only part of the phone that
comes in contact with any surface when the phone is made
to rest on its back
