Nokia N86 8MP vs N96 live comparison

A member from our Network, Meraj Chhaya, was at the Carl Zeiss Factory tour powered by WomWorld and was able to review and to get in touch with the Nokia N86 8MP for a night (yah, he slept with the N86). At the Nokia N86 blog we decided to get you a huge pictures list, with comparisons to the Nokia N96.

This Nokia N86 contains the highest megapixel count in any Nokia, and is the flagship of camera-phones for the manufacturer. As you know the N8x series are normally phones with great cameras and N86 is the latest one with the best camera. Nokia N86 has an 8 Megapixel Camera and contains a 2.6″ AMOLED display with QVGA resolution (240×320 pixels), the camera has autofocus, dual LED flash, geo-tagging, panorama mode, wireless and online sharing capabilities. Nokia N86 has Bluetooth, HSDPA, DLNA-certified Wi-Fi, A-GPS, a 3.5mm audiovisual jack, an FM transmitter, Ngage gaming platform, and a kickstand. This smartphone runs on the Symbian OS9.3, with S60 3rd edition Feature Pack 2 software platform.

Nokia N86 versus Nokia N96 comparison summary

In a brief way, we got a comparison between the Nokia N96 and the N86 phone that can be complemented by the pictures, in the gallery, that are in the end of the post.

Despite Nokia N86 and Nokia N96 have the same dimensions the N86 is much heavier than the N96 and a bit more glossy, making that fingertips and other marks stay on the phone, weighing at 149g. The front of the N86 contains thin buttons, similar to the N82 but there’s no multimedia key. N86 has solid keyword buttons standing out from the phone, while the N96 ones stay in line with the rest of the platform. N96 display size is of 2.8″, while the N86 has a thinner 2.6″ display with AMOLED screen. Like the N96, Nokia N86 has a second slide keyboard with extra keys, that can be used for N Gage games, to take pictures or to make zoom, this keyboard has been really a success with N96 and not having it on the N86 would be strongly bad to the main function of this phone – entertainment.

In terms of camera The N96’s back part is filled with a glossy finish (I really don’t like it). The N86 instead has a clean surface. Both of the phones’ cameras are placed in the same position, but the N86 does have a shutter cover, unlike the N96. Both of them have the kickstand around the camera.

The 1200mAh battery of the Nokia N86 allows a great time without charging the phone, much greater than the N96. This way the Nokia N86 proves that it pays it price, 399£. You can buy the Nokia N86 from ebay, from the Nokia Store or from Amazon.
