Nokia N8 officially unveiled - A 12MP Monster

Nokia today has unveiled their latest flagship device, the Nokia N8.  The N8 succeeds the Nokia N86 which held a controversial role as Nokia’s camera champ. This controversy was caused by Nokia opting to choose an LED flash for their camera phone instead of Xenon, which was very successful on the Nokia N82.

Nokia seems to have learned from their mistakes with the N8 and it promises to best its competitors in pure photography quality.





Check out some of the key features of Nokia's newest camera smartphone below:

• A 3.5 inch touch screen with 16:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of  360x480 (nHD) which is similar to older Symbian touch devices.
  -
• A 12 megapixel camera with a 28mm lens.

• Carl Zeiss Optics and a Xenon Flash. It captures 720p HD video at 25fps and offers built in video editing.
  -
• Up to 3 hours and 20 minutes of video capture or 7 hours of video playback (6 over HDMI). The talk time is impressive too - 12 hours, and the battery will last for 50 hours of music playback. All this thanks to its 1200mAh battery packed under its hood
  -
• Two different TV-out interfaces - the standard 3.5mm audio jack and a mini-HDMI port (a first for the GSM world). It also features Dolby Digital Plus Surround Sound over the HDMI link.
  -
