Nokia raises new flag

The new flagship device Nokia, N8, not yet reached the market, but has already reached us. First Review of the advanced prototype

Finnish Nokia has a place of honor in the Hall of Fame of the mobile device makers, thanks to years of producing high-quality instruments, reliable and easy to operate, as well as because it is the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer today. Many of its competitors have tried and still try to imitate the Nokia in terms of reliability and quality instruments.Take, for example, the N95. In 2007 Nokia launched a phone that flag, which became over time one Ahsmartpunim most successful ever. He was not innocent of impairments (poor battery time, a little awkward), but the hysteria surrounding the drawbacks caused the device as if it were to disappear. Upgraded his brother, the N95 8GB, continued the tradition like a magnet, pulling more and more customers to purchase it.Then something happened. Although the company produced a variety of devices and those who long to be followers of the N95, but somehow things did not work out. Record the "Chapel" was probably after the launch of the N97. Unlocked Nokia which hung many hopes, crashing the company inside. Failure, at least in image, was great. Even proponents of Nokia, those customers who go with the company through thick and thin, they could not (and never really tried) to stop the snowball of deadly Reviews satisfied responses. Nokia even made the sound of fluttering when launched the mini version of the device, but she did not give them the rope rescue.Has not passed a long period and there, in the corridors company in Finland, Nokia executives admitted that this is a mouth full of hardworking failure. You see? The company proud, that for years left dust all the other manufacturers, admit that the N97 failed miserably.So what do we do? Gathered the best minds, the designers moved on and sketches - all in order to break the head and create the ultimate device. Such would not be too big, not too heavy and too bulky, but equipped with contemporary technology summit. Operating system also has a serious form of refreshment and upgrading Symbian ^ 3 is so intriguing. Does she succeed in what his previous Symbian versions?The N8 is the device special unit whose job is to restore its former glory, to bring Nokia back to the top of the cellular world. And we we had to use it throughout a week, and publish the world's first visit to one of the device. This is the place to clarify Shliorokom was not part of the device's arrival to our table, still not a final version of the operating system.
Design and quality construction;
Certainly one of strong points on the device. The N8-built aluminum undergoes a process which expect the metal protective layer making it more durable. For example, it is very difficult to scratch the device, rather than remain on fingerprints. Also, the coating process compares the device shows a prestigious and strong. Beyond that, the device is not too big, and comfortable are Holding it in hand and Achshmcmidym the same ear.For the first time, Nokia has decided to produce a device without battery replaced, and consequently has no lid that opens easily. A single hardware button decorates the front of the device, Achsabcidio is the volume knob, lock button and shutdown screen keyboard, memory card slots available (Micro SD) taxes. In addition, there is a socket Charging Micro USB synchronization.Bottom of the N8 is another charging socket (Nokia Classic) in the upper part micro HDMI socket allows display on the device screen LCD or plasma screen large. Sound output is Dolby Digital format (5.1) which allows the device to display movie-quality sound and picture excellent big screen without any problem.
 
Screen: 
Screen is another place where Nokia Company has improved significantly positions. Ahakpsiteibi screen 3.5-inch 640x360 resolution and responds much better quality than other touch device Nokia to date. Screen 16 million colors and is made of quality material that prevents scratches.
To N8 graphics processor that works in conjunction with the device's normal processor, it takes some of its burden when it comes to viewing movies and games. The result is that HD movies playing smoothly (with good image quality even when you connect the phone home screen) and speed is impressive running games. Screen lighting good, but weaker competitors like iPhone 4, Galaxy S-Wave devices of Samsung.
 
OS:
Symbian 3rd - not a radical change, but improvement MborachachThe N8 is the first device with Nokia Launches Symbian OS ^ 3. This is a new operating system, but is not a dramatic change, at least in terms of design, the previous system was the N97 devices and -5800.A few cosmetic changes, and some features give Nokia the new time interval required to provide their customers up to Symbian system Logiatan ^ 4 which should be fairly significant change, until the arrival of the system based Meego - Linux developed in collaboration with Intel Corporation.Ability to display three different screens is one of the most significant changes in this system, and here aligns with Android Nokia wonderful line that goes gaining momentum every day. The area of the home screens dedicated widget various Nokia, presenting information and updates both the device and network.Music player received a new design (like Apple) and calendar display now supports several calendars simultaneously. Running applications and the transition between one another screen with the click of contact time is one and not double as was the previous system. Hold gives more options "right click".The device shows real support for multi - Taskynge hold the home button will display the open applications, the possibility of going to them or close them.It is very important to note again that the device we checked the final version and not the global Nokia told us version of the device will be updated once or twice more before leaving the global market in about 6 weeks or so. However, in conclusion of this part, the new operating system is improving the previous system but by no means a revolution. Together with the improved screen we get a better experience of Nokia devices, but still inferior to previous leading competitors - iPhone Android.

Camera - a device strengths
Although the camera's physical bulge over the back of the device (about 3 mm) camera still is one of the great advantages of the N8.Still camera phone equipped with Carl Zeiss lens quality of the 12MP with Autoapox (by clicking the camera button), a powerful xenon flash. Outgoing picture look great both on screen and the device on the computer screen after post them. Device video camera HD camera and its results look great.
In the coming days the cameras wearing a comparison between the new instruments (N8, iPhone 4, Galaxy and S Wave) in a war of worlds between the flagship.

In summary:
Excellent in relation to his predecessors, not good enough in relation to its competitorsNokia's leaders believe that the N8 is a device which will return the company to the top Ahsmatpunim world, but we think that Finland is too optimistic and probably do not read the market correctly. As we have suggested in a review several times, there is no doubt that this is the best smart phone company ever produced, both in terms of hardware and operating system features, but it is not anything new and exciting as we expected it would be.There is no doubt that Nokia fans wherever they are found in N8 all they want to remain loyal to the brand, but our assessment, who crossed the street to the operating systems from Google Android and Apple's iOS not cross it back.Right to write this review, there is still no final pricing to N8, but there are Aspkocioat network that will range around 350-400 price EUR.
