Nokia N8: 12 megapixel mobile phone

This is the first Nokia mobile phone equipped with 12 megapixel camera, Carl Zeiss lenses supported and xenon flash that is very helpful when photographing at night. N8 is also the first handset using the Symbian operating system 3 that claimed more intuitive, modern, and responsive, compared to Symbian 5th Edition.

The likes of the N97 and X6 have both been trumpeted by Nokia over the last year or so, but neither has particularly won critical acclaim, mostly due to a sub-par OS when compared to the whizz-bang-iness of the iPhone and Android set, as well as taking a veritable age to start using the latest technology, like capacitive screens and slimmer lines.


The Nokia N8 is a fairly large device - but that's not to say that it's chunky. It's merely large due to having a large 3.5-inch OLED screen, and it comes in at just 12.9mm thick.Admittedly it's not the thinnest on the market, but when it's down to a matter of a few millimetres, it doesn't really matter in the pocket right?

The frame is covered in anodised aluminium, which Nokia was keen to show us was resistant to scratches. However, as you can see by the side unlock switch, this isn't always the case - some colour has been lost.
