8 megapixel Nokia N86 leaks with full specs, confirms rumors

16 Feb, 2009
So there is an 8 megapixel cameraphone by Nokia in the works. Meet the Nokia N86 - as official as it gets, it still didn't get an announcement at the MWC 2009. We can't help but wonder why. Whatever...

    Let us make all variables equal except the megapixels. If we take three photos. One with a 5MP, the others 8 and 12MP.
    We now print the photos to 6*4 inches; will there be any discernible difference?
    Well, in theory the 12MP shot would be the sharpest because there are more MPs to print. The question is, will the human eye be able to detect a difference at the common print size of 6*4 inches? Will the human eye be able to detect the difference on a phone screen? We all know that if we blow up the photo to poster size the 12MP photo will shine but how often do people do that? So, although SE (Idou) has won the megapixel race, is it useful to have 12MP on a phone??
    Anyway I am pleased the MP race has been fought and won. No phone manufacturer in their right mind will go for higher than 12MP unless they have succumbed to lunacy!
    Hopefully now manufacturers will concentrate on improving processors, screens and software.
    As far as I can see, the N97 is the phone to buy.

      I hate to say it but the n86 kind of look ugly and outdated.

                              [deleted post]dude, the "SOON EXPIRE" name calling is really pathetic, u better make some other smart remark because that wont happen, really!

                              its not funny and people will actually have to think what brand u are bashing, i assume its sony ericsson, right? its no way close to sounding like Sony ericsson!

                              a good example would be the one with
                              nokia: connecting people =
                              nokia: DISconnecting people
                              see my point? its simple, its funny and people actually knows its bashing nokia. dude, be creative ffs.

                                try to compare n82/innov8.
                                youll see that, innov8 has much better colors.
                                example, if its green, it is really green.. unlike n82/n95

                                  Yaaawwwwwnnnn..let's run through a checklist:

                                  1. The design is fit for someone who has no life.
                                  2. 8MP? Guess Nokia never got the memo informing everyone that SE had moved the goalpost. 12MP is the new benchmark.
                                  3. It looks like a N85 from pretty much every angle. Why would I want to spend 600ish dollars (or whatever is its price) for something that looks like a 350 dollar phone?

                                  Sorry Nokia but you've not just been thoroughly beaten but smashed.

                                    hay gays.....wait a secand, cant you see what is happening here, when other compatative companies of nokia r to release a new phones with a higher cameras mps. nokia r trying to follow up with them.....see samsung and sonyericsson they did the 8 mps at least a year ago, and they r thinking of the 10 and the 12 mps. , and nokia is proud to say that n86 has an 8 mp camera, so the roumer is hopefully becoming true ,i hope....
