Nokia Introduces N8 12MP Camera Phone
Nokia today unveiled the N8 12MP camera phone, which is also known as the company’s first Symbian^3 smartphone and the first to be integrated with Qt, a software development environment that simplifies the development and makes it possible to build applications once and deploy across Symbian and other software platforms.
According to Nokia, Symbian^3 will provide “several major advances” including gesture support (multi-touch, pinch-zoom and flick scrolling), personalized home-screens, new 2D and 3D graphics architecture, and “greater memory management” for fast multi-tasking. Measuring 113.5mm x 59mm x 12.9mm and weighing at just 135grams, the new Nokia N8 features a 3.5-inch capacitive OLED touchscreen display with 640 x 360 pixels resolution, a 12MP AutoFocus camera with Carl Zeiss optics, Xenon flash and a large sensor that rivals those found in compact digital cameras. Its camera also supports face recognition and HD (720p) video recording.
Other important specs include a 16GB of internal memory, which is upgradable via a MicroSD card slot (up to 32GB), WLAN IEEE802.11 b/g/n, A-GPS, Ovi Maps with free navigation, Flash Lite 4.0 and Flash video support, Bluetooth 2.1, a 3.5mm audio jack, an FM radio with FM transmitter, an HDMI port and a 1200mAh battery. Additionally, this camera phone also supports GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA (HSDPA/HSUPA) 850/900/1700/1900/2100.
Available in black, silver, blue, orange and lime, the Nokia N8 12MP camera phone will be launched in the third quarter of 2010 for €370 ($495) before taxes and subsidies. Watch the promo videos after the jump to get more details.
