A new comer from Nokia 8 Megapixel snapper is on its way to capture lot of hearts, all set to be released in Second quarter of year, which is quite far-off ( so they are going to have a hard time maintaining the hype around it).

Seems to be the replica of N85 with the same OLED screen, what makes it different from N85 is the 8 Mpx camera (with the side stand , remember you saw that in N96 too)

Nokia should have experimented with the Kickstand to give it a unique look like SE w995 has done. Though nokia is pioneer with this concept..still..it would have been good to see something different.

At Nokia they claim that it’s the first phone of this class to carry a wide-angle lens onboard. As you already know, the N86 houses an 8 MP camera, and while its sample images from the press release look excellent.  It’s the first and only camera phone to offer variable aperture values and a 28mm wide angle lens.

The N86 is expected to come with the same set of applications, standard  suite and OVI connectivity. The Nokia N86 8MP runs on the Feature Pack 2 of the S60 Symbian user interface. It’s nothing new actually, but what you may notice about all new Nokia smartphones announced this week is that they have some newly customized interface graphics and it’s all about transition effects.

The only disappointment I see in N86 is the screen size, its camera seems to have bridged the gap of  a digicam and Mobile device, yet clearer picture can be obtained after the burn test of its camera.

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.

Check below some pictures we got from the Nokia N86.

The theme is very free and fresh. The background wallpaper shows an sketch scene where a woman is one the beach an is surrounded by water and sea gulls. The highlights are in light red colour. The fonts and the clock blend in perfectly with the theme.

They start off by giving us an introduction of the Nokia N86 8MP in which they state that it’s been a while since they saw a cameraphone as revolutionary as the Nokia N86 8MP.

Nokia has been behind in the mega-pixel race for quite sometime and they still are. But the wide-angle, variable aperture, mechanical shutter camera changed the way we think of shooting stills with cameraphones much like the Omnia HD reshaped the digital video recording on a mobile phone.

The goodies on board the Nokia N86 8MP make quite a count, including but not limited to a 2.6-inch AMOLED screen, dual-slide form factor, an active kickstand, 8GB of internal memory, a microSDHC card slot, FM transmitter, Wi-Fi and GPS connectivity and a digital compass, a 3.5mm audio jack and TV out. There’s also quad-band GSM and tri-band HSDPA support for a truly worldwide voice and data roaming.

The theme is based on the blue colour. It’s very lively and looks like a cartoon. The background wallpaper shows parallel blue and grey lines and a small skater like figure/toon. The icons are very cool, toon like and glossy. The theme is meant for QVGA resolution phones ie phones with screen resolution 240*320 or 320*240. The clock is also similar and in blue.

The theme is very lively and cartoon like. The background wallpaper shows spotlights of different colours on a light blue-grey background. The icons are quite nice and are of an animated style. The highlights are in a gradient green colour and the clock is in the same colour as the background. The theme is Full SVG which means it can be displayed in any orientation and resolution and still have the same quality.

Eldar Murtazin

He starts off by saying Nokia planned to release the Nokia N86 8MP as the N85 8MP similar to the Nokia N95 8GB and N95. He says it may be because the users were disappointed with the issues of the N85 and Nokia didn’t want them to think that this handset was the same. Nevertheless, he says the N86 8MP has excellent build quality.

He says that the N86 8MP is a refurbished N85 both in terms of build quality and camera. It’s Nokia’s Imaging Flagship. Nokia says it doesn’t believe in the Megapixel race saying it’s better to focus on the Lens Quality, Algorithm etc.
