Nokia N8 created quite a stir in the cell phone market all over the world. The reason behind this was its impeccable features and affordable price. It is a worthwhile product for those looking for a feature-rich smartphone at a price that is less expensive compared to other models present in its class. Although the product has some minor flaws, it is still the best product that Nokia has ever created in the smartphone category.
Nokia N8 has features that simplify a person’s life. A 12 megapixel camera with Carl-Zeiss lens, xenon flash, 2x zoom, free navigation maps for life, unlimited music download from OVI music, unlimited app download from Nokia Store (formerly OVI store) and menu facility handling are some of the important features present in the phone. Nokia’s recent operating system update for the smartphone was Symbian Belle. The new operating system offered a lot of customization: 6 home screens, widgets, shortcuts, attractive icons, and faster operational response.
Let’s talk in detail about the features of the phone. The first to arrive are the home screens. A home screen is a place where you can add shortcuts and widgets to different apps loaded on your phone. As per the requirement, a person can add the widgets for the most used apps. Through this option, they no longer have to visit the main menu every time they want to access a particular application. The responsiveness of the home screen has been increased on the updated OS (Symbian Belle).
The second best feature is the addition of a 12-megapixel camera with a revamped Carl-Zeiss lens. Now it’s possible to click high-definition photos right from your phone. Multiple settings are available for resolution, sharpness, contrast, exposure, color tone, white balance, and light sensitivity. Users can also shoot high-definition videos and save them on the massive 16GB of built-in memory. Nokia also provided the option to expand the memory up to 32 GB with the use of a microSD memory card. With a RAM of 256 MB, the smartphone is powered by a 680 MHz processor.
Another important feature of Nokia N8 is the use of the Maps application. With free navigation for life offered by Nokia, it is now possible to reach destinations in unknown places with ease. Voice navigation is also included in the updated version of Maps and users can select from different languages for the speaker. The availability of maps in offline mode is a great advantage for a user looking to find destinations in a location other than their country of origin. This feature removed the use of the Internet requirement to download maps at a destination. Maps can be downloaded and stored in the app’s memory and it’s absolutely free.
By installing the Nokia Suite application from Nokia, one can connect their smartphone to a PC. The application allows you to make backup copies of all the content of the Nokia N8. Users can also use the suit to download maps, music and apps directly to the phone. The USB connection cable provided with the smartphone connects the phone with the software on the computer. With the number of applications available in Nokia Store, you have every reason to smile because you can find the application you are looking for.
With great features packed into a compact device, Nokia N8 is undoubtedly the best smartphone in its class. High performance, attractive design, aluminum casing for maximum protection, long-lasting battery and scratch-resistant glass make it an essential product for professionals and individuals looking to make the most of the potential offered by a Smartphone.
