We told you about an 8 megapixel Nokia Nseries to be announced at MWC and we were right! Nokia haven’t announced it at MWC yet, but Lester Chan from Singapore has taken close-up photos of the device from Showcase Nokia 2009. It is labeled as the Nokia N86 8MP.

Let’s take a look!

    The N86 seems to be a great phone. Does it support the divx & xvid formats. If yes, thoes it support the all versions of codec?
  • nice
  • No way an Led, even dual, is better than a xenon

    this IS not pure crap. you're bellend

    I believe Nokia is running out of good designs and feature packed phones. that's why they are just following the lead.
  • In searching for sites related to cellphone reviews and specifically comparison of prices, your site came up. Interresting read..
  • I've been saying this for a while now, same phone slightly different specs. 8 megapixels on virtually the same phone is silly. Its nice to see they stepped up their camera game, but why the same cruddy resolution on the screen.

    @Andrew Leung, becoz of many reasons. one of them is that the innovations for the nseries with the line of n81, n85, n86 is just starting. :lol:
  • I read this too about the Flash, be interesting to see how good it is in the flesh. Just doesn't make sense that a LED flash could be better than a xenon flash.

    @Nokia N86 Review, your wrong..

    dled generation is now starting its battle. hehe :lol:
  • nics
    Actually I found this link where it says that 3rd gen dual-led flash or those with supercapacitors are more efficient and can provide brightness equaling or surpassing xenon
    here's the link

    Everyone is Slagging Nokia down for just upgrading the camera on the N85 to call it the N86,but they might be think of people budgets nowdays, an they would have got slagged down more releasing an mobile to expensive for most buyers,but this will show the C905 an i8510 up,but with June the release date another late release time from Nokia which seems odd from them again,Why? do the announce phones to early then 6 months before they are released

    @Andy Burgin, ryt dude
  • illusionado
    although nokia is late still the taste and glamour for a Superb Camphone is still at for nokia becoz of the big focal view for cam. goodjob!

    As a nokia fan, I'm sure I'm not the only one, to say - WTF?!!!

    This should have been the n85 - what a joke, no xenon and 8gb is standard - we should be looking toward 32gb. Nokia is really lagging behind.

    I won't be upgrading to a Nokia anytime soon.

    I can only hope they sort out their act and have a surprise on the way, but I highly doubt it.

    @k, hays...price does matter..why d heck nokia make a phone that only few people can buy it. :lol:
  • nkav
    @k,

    lol the same comment as on gsm arena!

    same here!
  • k
    @nkav,

    Yup, I felt the need to spread my disappointment lol

    Here is something I added on another site.

    It is just an n85 rehash - there are loads of solid, reliable nokia models.

    It’s not just about pushing the specs - having an n82 successor and xenon flash is not a big ask. We should have seen this ages ago.

    It is disappointing because we know Nokia can make amazing phones and they are resting on their laurels. Fans are usually harsh on companies (like Nintendo) because they don’t meet the high standards they themselves set.

    Like Wesker from Resident Evil 5 says - Poor performance indeed!
  • nkav
    @k,
    lol @ spreading the disappointment!

    Wat do you think the chances are the new camera will make it into other nokia handsets?? (namely the N97)

    Talking of fans being harsh, it was the reason that alot of peeps gave sony the finger for the bs around the ps3

    So nokia kinda needs to pull its head outta its ass!

    Hi,

    1st time poster here!

    Im kinda confused, nokia have boosted up a n85 (good starting point) and turned it into highly polished product but why the heck did they leave the screen the same size??

    Surely alot of peeps use the pics catpured with the phone as a wallpaper??

    And with every other company and its aunt currently increasing screen size this looks kinda half assed by by our Finnish friends

    WHAT GIVES NOKIA?

    This is really infuriating as i currently have a N95 (was a proud owner since day of release) and have been waiting with Zen like patience for a decent upgrade but the N86 (loooove the 8MP) is already starting to look kinda flawed!

    Im just gona wait on the N97 now (im praying that by time of release they give it the N86 camera!)

    Peace!

    @Nkav, bro phone for all not phone for riches.

    also the standard screen size is now 2.4"

    2.6" is quiet a difference :lol:

    The N86 in White looks Brilliant an will definetly be my next mobile i will be getting,o.k Samsung started the 8 mega-pixel race, but the software on Samsung mobiles is not on Par with Nokia,Samsung make good looking mobiles but the features on there mobiles do not match Nokia anyway,
  • illusionado
    @Andy Burgin, ryt choice bro

    Like many people, I'm holding out for a N82 replacement with a xenon flash. If Nokia want to convince me that the new lens on the N86 combined with their latest 3rd gen LED flash is as good as xenon, I'm going to have to see some pretty conclusive proof.

    Also, as according to the Nokia road that surfaced a while back, this is the N85 revamp. If that's so, then have we still got a 8mp, 3" screen, candybar Nokia to come too?....
