Review Nokia N8

Negative Issues
Nokia N8 bring enough supplies at the hardware side. It uses the ARM processor MHzplus 11 680 separate endorsement 3D graphics accelerators. Also with a decent 256 MB Ram, and 512 ROM. But the problem is when we try, we still often have reduced the speed performance of the phone. Once we thought nge-hang, and difficult to overcome, because we can not just remove the battery on this phone freely, a few minutes later the phone went back to normal.

We believe that this occurs because the operating system. Referring to the same phenomenon when we use the Symbian 3rd and 5th. But when compared to the second OS, the Symbian-owned N8 ^ 3 is already much better.

Battery
Judging from the specifications, the battery capacity of this phone seems to have quite able to maintain the performance of all the features are supported. But with the use of cameras that are optimal, the Internet sewaktui-time and the music player on several occasions, we found that the phone battery can last for 1.5 days.

Conclusion
Nokia N8 meruapakan best camera phones we have reviewed. Judging from the results of shooting in low light, near and far distances, such ancillary features Xenon flash is able to work in accordance with the requirement without producing images that are too bright. Especially if we look at the price it offers.

Even with HD features and multiple capabilities around networking, Internet and productivity, then this a multimedia phone it's capable of doing anything. Unfortunately a number of problems still found in the hardware acceleration, and internet reception less than perfect.

Pros:

* 12-megapixel Camera
* HSDPA
* WiFi b / g
* Xenon Flash
* Music player
* HD recorder
* HD player
* HDMI TV out
* Multitouch
* 3.5 mm connector

Disadvantages:

* There are still hangs
* Video player is limited to a certain framerate
* HSDPA receiver unstable
