Nokia N86 8MP review: Lens wide open

 

You may've thought Nokia lost their touch, you may be out of love with the Nseries but the Nseries are always keeping an eye on you. Their wide-angle, variable aperture eye. On you. Whether the Nokia...

2.6" 16M-color OLED display of QVGA resolution (scratch-resistant surface) ; 8 megapixel autofocus camera with dual-LED flash and AF assist light ; 28mm wide camera lens, variable aperture, mechanical shutter, geotagging, time-lapse, camera lens cover,...

Camera feature set is last year's stuff (and even older) ; Image processing isn't very well tuned at this moment ; VGA@30fps video is no longer top of the line ; No xenon flash ; HSDPA only 3.6Mbps, no HSUPA ; Poor display sunlight legibility ; No DivX...

Armed with one of the most advanced cameras in terms of hardware and features you don't just find on every other handset out there, the N86 8MP is keen to take cue from the N85 and shake the Nseries out of their slumber. Now, in case you forgot, it's...

Nokia N86 review: Nokia N86

 

The Nokia N86 8MP first made its appearance at GSMA 2009 and stepped up as the most advanced camera phone in the company's N series of multimedia smartphones. Nokia even went as far as to say that it could replace your standalone point-and-shoot...

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 Compared with the competition, the phone's display is a bit low resolution and the software feels outdated.

If you can afford it, the Nokia N86 8MP is one of the more advanced and better camera phones on the market today, but there are cheaper alternatives.

Nokia N86 8MP

 

Though it's well designed and solidly built, the N86 is a tough phone to get excited about. Its AU$949 price tag is a bit ritzy for what you get.

Solid construction, Great keypad, Good 8MP camera, 8GB storage

2.6-inch screen is small for this price range, Earpiece speaker was muffled during tests

Nokia N86 8MP Review

 

The first Nokia mobile phone to reach the 8-megapixel camera mark, Nokia N86 8MP revives the N-series, which was almost overrun by the competition. Following the same line imposed by its N85 predecessor, Nokia N86 8MP is stuffed with the latest camera...

The strong point of the smartphone is definitely the 8-megapixel camera, which should receive a software update to perform better. I would also highlight here the HSDPA (3.6 Mbps) connectivity, the accelerometer for auto-rotate, the good battery, the...

Perhaps a fresher design that would meet nowadays demands would've made the phone more appealing. Also, the lack of a document editor or DivX and XviD support drags the phone a little backwards. The AMOLED display is also a negative point, as its...

Nokia N86 Review - Smile for the Camera

 

The Nokia N86 was released way back in June, but because Nokia has so many products to feature and introduce to the market, we got the unit a bit later than expected. But that doesn't mean this phone should be ignored. Three words: eight megapixel...

Wide camera lens with mechanical ; shutter and lens cover, VGA video ; recording, Wi-Fi, GPS with A-GPS support ; and geotagging, good audio quality ; plus a 3.5 mm headphone jack ; active kickstand

Camera feature feels old, image ; processing needs to be improved ; no DivX or XviD support ; no office document editing

As the title says, the Nokia N86’s key selling point is the camera feature. It is mainly a camera phone, but is packed with 3G, Wi-Fi, Document viewer, and media player among others. For people who want an all-around multimedia device, with focus on...
