Nokia N86 App Review-Nokia Magnifier

We have been talking about themes for Nokia N86, now let’s look at applications. Here is an interesting application developed by Nokia Beta Labs. I decided to post it now because the application has received an update as the first release had many bugs.

What the application does on S60 phones, like Nokia N86 is basically turning your phone’s camera into a magnifying lens. It can be very useful in day-to-day life especially for people having problems in reading fine text or small objects/text.

It has a built-in stabilizer system that reduces the blurring of the image when the users hand shakes and causes disturbance to the phone. There is also a negative effect users can apply to shift from light to dark background and thus ease the process of reading.

You may also take a picture if you wish for future reference etc.

• Here are the current phones the Nokia Magnifier has been tested on: N96, N95, N95 8GB, N82, N73, E90, E71, E66
• It does not work on: N85, N78, E65, 6220

It should work on the N86 8MP since they say it works on any phone with an auto zoom feature. More phones may be compatible with further updates.
