Nokia offers N8 instead of White iPhone 4

by L.K. - on Nov 4th 2010 - No Comments

It seems like the global hunger for white iPhones will never be satisfied.

A delay of the white iPhone release was not passed unnoticed by the Apple competitors. So Nokia’s Indian unit has reacted to the news recommending in Twitter: «Why wait for the white iPhone in 2011, when we can now have the Nokia N8 in five stunning colors».

For all those who are tired of waiting for the white iPhone Nokia offers an alternative Nokia N8 smartphone in several color options, that’s blue, silver white, dark grey, burnt orange (some say red), & light green. However I should note that Nokia N8 is still not available in white color.

Recall that Nokia N8 is running Symbian^3 platform, packs a 3.5 inch AMOLED touch-display with the extension of 640 by 360 pixels and internal memory of 16 GB with 256MB RAM.

The phone went on sale in late September so take the chance to add color to your life!

Nokia N8 vs. iPhone 4: Clash of the titans

by Sona - on Sep 6th 2010 - No Comments

There is no doubt that the most awaited smartphones of this year are Nokia N8 and Apple Iphone 4. As these two “titans” have already been launched, we can compare their cameras.  So, below we introduce the characteristics of these smartphones’ cameras:

iPhone 4

  • 5 megapixel CMOS sensor
  • LED flash
  • 4:3 aspect ratio
  • Focal length: 3.85mm (equivalent to lens of 29.4mm)
  • F number/Aperture: F2.8
  • Autofocus
  • Zoom : Digital 5x

Nokia N8

  • 12 megapixel Carl Zeiss lens
  • Xenon flash
  • 16:9 aspect ratio (wide screen)
  • Focal length: 5.9mm (equivalent to 28mm wide angle lens)
  • F number/Aperture: F2.8
  • Zoom : Digital 2x

At first sight there must be no doubt of Nokia N8′s privilege, but let’s study deeper.

Differences between cameras:

  1. The first difference is the resolution: as we see iPhone 4 has a 5 Mpx camera, while Nokia N8 captures with a 12 Mpx camera. The difference is more than evident.
  2. Nokia N8 could take pictures in a wider angle. Below is a picture which clearly explains the advantages of wide angle.
  3. The picture clarity is the third significant feature of cameras, which discovers how clear could be the pictures no matter when they have been taken – on the bright sunlight or on a gloomy day.
  4. The colors of both cameras are of a very high quality: there is nothing to compare.
  5. And finally the flashes, to know what flash is better, we must learn more  about both handsets.

So, take pictures by both smartphones and decide for yourself which of them is more powerful.
