8MP Nokia N86 for the first time the appearance of the 2009 GSMA, the most advanced camera phone and improve the company N-series multimedia smartphones. Nokia has gone so far as to say that could replace the stand-alone point and shoot camera. We can not say that we agree with one hundred Statement 100, but we say that the Nokia N86's camera features are certainly impressive, and produces quality. Not to mention that Nokia made some design improvements really nice, and there's the fact that you can also get a smart phone capabilities in a compact package. However, it is not the only high-end camera phone lock. Memoir Samsung and Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot also sports an 8 megapixel (8.1 megapixel C905 actually slow), and comes much cheaper price contract operator. 8MP Nokia N86 is available unlocked for $ 500.
In addition, although not necessarily match the N86 in megapixels, you have smartphones like the iPhone 3G and Palm Pre and also a lot 'of images and will also feature high-resolution touch screens and more sophisticated operating systems. N86 is a smartphone to develop an excellent camera, but $ 500, will be a hard sell for most consumers.
Design
General appearance of the Nokia N86 8MP is not too different from that of the Nokia N series models in the past, but a closer examination reveals the phone with some other nice improvements. For one, the N86 is build quality and feels more stable than those of any of the other sisters, thanks to improvements in the new hardware, such as the edges of metal and tempered glass on the front of the device. A compromise is the phone is slightly heavier than 5.2 ounces (compare the Nokia N85 is 4.5 ounces). That said, we are ready to handle the tenth ounce more if it means more durable, rugged laptop. In addition, the N86 is still relatively small in size, overall, measuring 4 inches long 2 inches wide and 0.6 cm thick in a confined space.
Other areas of improvement include the cursor and buttons on the phone. From the first, the N86 design features a dual slider like the Nokia N85 and N96. The difference is that the sliding mechanism on the N86 is stronger than others, so that the screen does not move or moves when you are trying to manipulate the phone or use the controls beneath the screen. In fact, you have to give everything on the screen a strong push down to access the multimedia material on the / game controls. Meanwhile, the sliding screen reveals the alphanumeric keypad.
By the way, it is both the keyboard and media buttons easier to push through the fact that the buttons are now raised above the surface, and the distance between them. They are also easy to see in dark environments with backlit and lime-green and white. We have mixed feelings about the navigation buttons below the screen. The range consists of standard soft keys, buttons and end conversation, a menu shortcut key, a Back button and go sailing, and like the others, the test is now raised instead of being flush with the surface so they do not feel so stiff, and the phone does not creak when you press them as it did on the N85. Our only thing is that we just are not big fans of little buttons.
Above the navigation buttons is a 2.6-inch active matrix OLED display nontouch (AMOLED). Although not a touchscreen, AMOLED display can provide a sharper image with better contrast and draws less power than conventional LCDs. But we wish it was slightly higher than QVGA resolution (320x240) screen does not look quite as slick as its competitors. On the positive side, the smartphone built-in accelerometer, which was quick to change the screen orientation when turning the phone. Like most Nokia phones, you can customize the home screen with different themes and backgrounds, and also adjust the backlight.
On your device, you will find the power button, 3.5 mm headphone jack and a Micro USB port. On the left side of the lock house and the cursor right, where the volume rocker and camera activation / capture button. The camera is behind the lens is protected by the slide. There is also a flash and a tripod that allows you to place your phone on a flat surface when viewing videos or presentations. We thought that the stand felt a little 'fragile, however, so be careful not to be too strong with it. Last but not least, you'll find a microSD expansion slot behind the battery compartment on the right side.
We were packed into the Nokia N86 AC adapter, USB cable, wired headset and remote control, software, DVD and original material. More add-ons, check out our cell phone accessories, ringtones, and help page.
Feature
8MP Nokia N86 is the main attraction, of course, its imaging capabilities. The smartphone features 8-megapixel camera, which is higher than the N series camera phone, but certainly not the first in the field. Samsung Memoir, and the Samsung INNOV8 is 8-megapixel camera, while the Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot with all the squeaking over the 8.1-megapixel lens. Returning to the subject at hand, however, 8MP N86 has a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, dual LED flash, 20x digital zoom and video recording up to 30 frames per second.
The share often on the phone the same advanced editing capabilities of N85, as eight shooting modes, scene being shot, ISO settings, and red-eye reduction, and includes some new stuff like the panorama mode, variable aperture (F2 .4, 0.2 F3, F4.8) and a 28 mm wide-angle lens. The last two features are quite rare for camera phones, and provide the means to control depth of field and light exposure, which will surely fans of camera you. On the other hand, the N86 does not include some features such as face and smile detection, which is present in memory and Cyber-shot C905. The absence of these features is certainly not a deal breaker, but for a device that claims to be a substitute for your digital camera point-and-shoot, it would be good to have them.
But the most important thing, given the quality of the N86 8MP images. We took several pictures: inside, outside and at night, and the N86 is always provided sharp images and vibrant colors. The camera did very well for macro shots as well as landscapes and portraits. The only time I had a slight hint of a problem was with the night shots, when there was very little graininess of the photo, but still very impressive and the camera. The video quality is good even with a very smooth image reproduction.
Once you have captured the images, you can enhance your images with the integrated photo editor, where you can add various effects, text, clip art, and more. There are many options for sharing your photos with other users. You can, of course, e-mail or multimedia message. You can download the Nokia Ovi service, Flickr or Vox, and if geotagging is enabled, you can plot your photos on a map. You can also view photos in a slideshow or send them to a network printer. And do not worry, the N86 offers a storage capacity of 8 GB of internal memory and a microSD expansion slot can accept cards up to 16GB.
Of course, the bonus of the Nokia N86 8MP, it is not just a camera, it is a smartphone that includes voice capabilities, the mobile Web, productivity tools and more. The 8MP N86 runs on Symbian OS version 9.3 using S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 The interface is fairly intuitive, but as we have said before, it seems pretty outdated compared to some of the smartphones on the market today. You can choose between four menu options (grid, list, horseshoe and V-shaped) and create new folders. You can also view and switch between open applications, but its multitasking in this way is not particularly sophisticated or smooth.
For personal organization and productivity, there is a calendar, a postal manager, a transmitter, a PDF reader, a calendar, a clock, a calculator and a text message reader said. The office suite allows you to quickly view Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents and optimizes the pages of the phone screen, so you do not have to scroll around the room to read the text. There are some shortcuts to jump to the top or bottom of the page to minimize scrolling up and down, and there is a search function. However, if you want any editing capabilities, you have to update the preloaded copy of Quickoffice. You can buy more applications in the Nokia Music Store, if there were problems accessing the catalog.
For messaging, the N96 can access IMAP4, POP3, SMTP and e-mail accounts and comes with a full attachment viewer. It also supports a number of push e-mail solutions, as well as Microsoft Exchange Server synchronization. There is a wizard that can help you configure your e-mail and synchronization in the box.
As a phone, the N86 offers quad-band world roaming, a handsfree, conference, voice dialing and text messaging and multimedia. The address book is limited only by available memory and the SIM card has an additional 250 contacts. Each entry can store multiple phone numbers, work and home address, email address, birthday and more vital. For caller ID purposes, you can assign each contact a photo, a tone or a group ID. Bluetooth 2.0 is onboard with the support of black and white and stereo Bluetooth headsets, hands-free kits, dial-up networking, file transfer, object push, phonebook access, and more.
Connectors are Wi-Fi and 3G, but the N86 only supports AT & T, HSDPA 850/900MHz bands, and T-Mobile's 3G network, which operates 1700/2100MHz bands. Nokia Web Browser has a thumbnail option, which lets you browse the site, providing a page view, and the ability to point and zoom in on the specific location, instead of the dull, scroll up or down . In addition to surfing the Web, you can turn the phone on roads with a built-in GPS / A-GPS and preloaded with Nokia Maps and a digital compass.
Finally, if you want more fun, with a media player supports MP3, AAC, eAAC, eAAC + and WMA and has to repeat and shuffle mode, and an equalizer. You can create playlists on the fly, the smartphone, and view album art if available. In addition to the library of songs, podcasts N86 offers an FM radio and support, provided they use the included earphones, because the tuner is built into them. You can also play various games, Nokia N-Gage gaming. There are a number of securities included in the study on the phone, like FIFA 09, Tetris, and asphalt, and the purchase of N86, you get an activation code that allows you to download the full version of one of the game for free. N-Gage is also a component of it, and you can create a profile, points and space to build and interact and play with the other members of the N-Gage.
Performance
We tested the quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) Nokia N86 8MP in San Francisco with AT & T service and call quality was OK. Voices sounded a bit hollow on our end, and the sound cut a few times, but it was not a constant problem. We never had to hang up a call, because the sound was so bad. Meanwhile, our friends reported excellent call quality and had no complaints. They also said they could barely tell the difference between the speaker phone calls and regular phone calls. Unfortunately, we thought the sound was a bit strident on our side, and he was not very strong. We managed to pair the N86 with the Logitech Mobile Traveller Bluetooth headset and Motorola S9 Bluetooth headset is active.
8MP N86 is powered by an ARM 11 434 MHz. For all smartphones was sensitive to small delays. We played a trial version of the game Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D experience, and it was clean and quite funny. We saw a couple of video clips and playback was smooth with synchronized audio and video, but once again, N86 could benefit from a higher resolution screen, which becomes particularly evident when watching video. We also used the Bose on-ear headphones and enjoy a rich sound of music, a good balance between highs and lows.
The GPS Phone features were quite impressive. Phone consistent with the position we have found for 2 minutes or less, and be carefully monitored position as we shot in San Francisco. We have traced the course of the Golden Gate Bridge in the center seat of CNET, and at the same time, Nokia Maps, where the exact route, the route re-calculation of the properties were a little 'annoying. Although he was quick to find a new route, new directions were a little 'tortuous, and often taught us to make a U-turn to return to the original plan, rather than develop new directions based on the current position. In some cases, make a U-turn may be the only option, but we knew that a number of alternatives that we could take, then the repeated commands to do a U-turn to be annoying.
Nokia N86 includes a 1200mAh lithium-ion battery with a rated talk time of 6.3 hours (GSM) / 3.9 hours (3G) and up to 13 days (GSM) / 11 days standby. We are still conducting our battery drain tests but will update this section once we have final results. According to FCC radiation tests, the N86 has a digital SAR rating of 1.01 watts per kilogram.

The bad: The N86 is expensive. Compared to the competition, the phone's screen a bit low resolution and the software feels overwhelmed.
Bottom line: If you can afford, Nokia N86 is one of the 8MP camera phones more sophisticated and better on the market today, but there are cheaper alternatives.
