Nokia N8 hardware video tour

The camera itself can record videos in up to 720p HD at 25 frames per second for a pretty smooth experience. According to Nokia, they are using one of the largest camera sensors, a mechanical shutter, and glass for a crisp, sharp digital imaging experience. In addition to high-end optics for a camera phone, the Nokia N8, like the EVO 4G and rumored new Motorola Droid X and Droid 2 for Verizon Wireless, also has an HDMI port, which Nokia also bundles a mini HDMI to full HDMI cable. In partnership with Dolby, sideloaded and purchased movies from the OVI Store as well as other web content can play back videos (up to 6 hours via the HDMI connector) with 5.1 surround sound for a great theatrical experience.

Powered by the Nokia latest Symbian 3 OS, the Nokia N8 is surprisingly announced today with its powerful 12 megapixel camera and Xenon flash. The N8 will also go on sale in Q3 this year at an estimated price tag of 370 euro. Other than the dark grey version previewed by mobile-review, there are other colors available too in silver white, green, blue and orange. According to Nokia, the Xenon flash on the Nokia N8 is 30 percent smaller compare to its usual design but yet able to produce a similar level of flash power. Other than taking 12 megapixel still picture, the Nokia N8 is capable of recording 720p HD video and edit them using its pre-installed editing suite. The HDMI connector will then allow you to easily play your videos with a much bigger TV screen.
