Nokia N86 8MP

The Nokia N86 8MP is a high-end mobile phone with emphasis on the camera. It was announced on 15 February 2009 and released in June 2009 as part of the Nseries. It runs on Symbian OS 9.3 (S60 3rd Edition FP2) and shares similar design features with the N97. Its name references the camera's megapixel count.

One of its main selling points is its Carl Zeiss photography features. It was Nokia's first camera phone to have an 8 megapixel sensor (although late compared to other manufacturers), and features both multiple aperture settings and a mechanical shutter (uncommon features by the standards of camera phones), and a Carl Zeiss lens with a wide angle of view (28 mm equivalent). It also has auto focus and a dual LED flash (3rd generation dual-LEDs), and an AF assist light. Video capture resolution is 640 × 480 pixels (VGA) at 30 frames per second.

The variable aperture adjusts between the three levels of f/2.4, f/3.2 and f/4.8, depending on lighting conditions.

The N86 utilises the dual-sliding form factor of the Nokia N95 and N85, whilst adding a toughened glass front cover and metal detailing and keypad, providing a premium look and feel. It has a 2.6-inch AMOLED display, a fast 434 MHz processor, and 8GB of internal memory. The Nokia N86 also features the same kickstand as the N85, and so it is possible to use as a small standalone screen, as well as configuring the opening of the stand to launch applications such as the video player. It also supports the N-Gage gaming platform. The N86 8MP is regarded as the spiritual successor of the N95 8GB due to its feature set in the same sliding form factor, and the commercial failure of the N96. Some regard it a successor of the N82 due to its camera.

The N86 8MP is a 3.5G or 3.75G(3GPP)device with dual-band HSDPA support, quad-band GSM and Wi-Fi. It has an A-GPS receiver, which links into location-based services via Nokia Maps, and photographs can be automatically geo-tagged. There is also a built-in digital compass, an FM radio, and there is also an FM transmitter. It is rated to give 6 hours talktime, 25 hours music playback and 11 days on standby on a full charge.

With optional DVB-H Nokia Mobile TV Receiver SU-33W it is possible to watch television on the screen of the phone.

Ovi Maps 3.03, with free navigation, was released on 17 March 2010 for the Nokia N86. The new version was available via the SW Update application and has a file size of 8.24 MB. The N86, E72, E55, E52, 6730, 6710 (S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2) and all of Nokia's Symbian^1 (S60 5th Edition) devices will get to experience beta-testing and free navigation.

The Nokia N86 8MP received a big firmware upgrade, to v11.043. That brought official Ovi Store compatibility (with Ovi web site shortcut and option to download the dedicated client), camera tweaks and the usual early firmware bug fixes and improvements.
