Nokia N8 review: Director of photography

12 October 2010
We’ve come to take Nokia for granted in the low end or the business class but it seems it has lost the knack for killer phones, run out of royal blood. It’s up to the Nseries to fix it all up. The Nokia N8 may just turn out to be the right cure. With that kind of hardware. Update, 08.02.2012: Symbian Belle update hands-on...

www, 01 Jul 2015bro, I know u from lumia 1020, PV 808 page. is it feasibl... moreIf you're a Nokia enthusiast it is worth buying an N8 if you still can. I love the N8's photo quality and for a 2010 phone it still beats most of the phones of today, and it's easy to make a good photo with the N8. In my opinion N8 makes more natural pics, but you can check this link for examples between bopth phones: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/item/18448_The_legendary_2010_N8_versus_t.php One other thing is that with the N8 you can store the photos on the SD card and easily transfer them with the SD card to the computer if you have many pics taken.

    I know u from lumia 1020, PV 808 page.
    is it feasible to buy a N8 now (its available in my locality) .
    previously I ve used 808,1020 both.
    Does the camera takes natural colour unlike 1020..?

              Even though this is an old phone and an old review I must point out that one can change the battery of the N8. There are small screws on the either side of the phone holding the bottom piece in place (one under the camera button and one under the usb port). It wasn't mentioned in the review.

                                      I really liked the Nokia N8 for its camera, design and all the different interface and expandable memory options. I also quite liked OVI Nokia Suite with with I was able to manage my phone efficiently.
                                      I did find, however that there seems to be a flaw with the socket for micro usb and phone charger. I had repaired twice and then replaced by o2- with the replacement developing the same problem after about half a year!
