The Nokia N86 8MP features an 8-megapixel camera that takes excellent pictures and include advanced options, such as a wide-angle lens and variable aperture. It's also a capable smartphone and offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 3G support

The N86 is expensive. Compared with the competition, the phone's display is a bit low resolution and the software feels outdated

Design The overall look of the Nokia N86 8MP isn't too different from Nokia N series models of the past, but a closer examination of the phone reveals some nice improvements. The Nokia N86 8MP first made its appearance at GSMA 2009 and stepped up...

Nokia N86 review

By Philip Berne

With an 8-megapixel camera and a stylish new design update, this may be our favorite Nseries phone, but can it compete with the best smartphones? Find out in our Nokia N86 review.

Great OLED display. Takes great pictures. Packed with features, including surprises like FM transmitter and intelligent kickstand. Design, especially keypad, improved over Nokia N85

that preceded it, the Nokia N86 is more trim and polished, but almost exactly the same phone. The buttons and the keypad have seen some comfortable improvements, and the phone now features an intelligent kickstand around back. Pull out the stand and ...

By PhoneArena Team

The Nokia N86 8MP is the first 8-megapixel camera phone of the manufacturer. Camera itself is equipped with wide-angle Carl Zeiss Tessar optics, variable aperture and double LED flash. Nokia ......

Pictures taken in artificial lighting conditions have really good quality, Pictures shared on social network websites look great, Beautiful display, Active phone stand

Hefty, Inconvenient camera shutter, Operating system interface is boring and unfriendly, GPS tends to lose signal at times for no reason in particular

As a smart phone, the Nokia N86 8MP comes out ahead in our ranking, because it is fast and trouble-free device. There is no observable lagging when you switch between menus and applications start almost instantaneously. The accelerometer is overly ...
