Nokia N86 8MP, tech specs and pics

It’s easy to see why the Nokia N86 8MP was saved till last, as this is clearly the flagship device that everyone will walk away from Mobile World Congress wanting to own.

But how has Nokia managed to keep a device as good as this under wraps for so long?

The AM OLED screen alone makes this such a desirable device but add the Carl Zeiss Tessar optics, as well as Nokia’s continued support for sat-nav and social networking features using Nokia’s own Ovi services and you have a device that's gone straight to everyones 'Must-Have' list.

So, what does the Nokia N86 8MP actually consist of? Well, the full metal body and scratch resistant glass are only small parts of a great whole. Here we present the full tech specs for what could be the device of the MWC, if not the year ahead…

    Isn’t this just an 8 megapixel version of the N85?

    Still no HSUPA and they appear to have dropped the feature buttons for music playback and N-Gage. No LED flash either.

    Not as exciting as you guys appear to think, particularly if this won’t hit the shops for 9 months. A minor upgrade.

    Oops – Xenon flash

  • Jijo

    If Nokia can offer a high 8 MP cam, why cant they add on a Xenon Flash? The younger brother, N82 had a 5 MP cam, but came with a good xenon. An 8 MP cam still stuck with an old dual LED flash. Nokia doesnt intend people to take pics at night?
