How the Nokia N9 differs from its predecessor, the N8
The veteran mobile phone manufacturer Nokia seems to be ready to address the huge market of smartphones this summer with the highly launch of his long -awaited phone N9. This new model not only looks some really amazing looks, but also a new operating system in the form of the Meego platform that has developed in association with Intel. The N9 is the successor to the popular N8 phone but what differences can we expect on this eagerly awaited new model?
As you would expect on any new model the display on the Nokia N9 has undergone some work and eclipses what the N8 offered us. Nokia has decided to give us an unusually sized screen with the phone’s 3.9-inch screen and it sits nicely between ultra-large models like the HTC Desire HD and more average-sized models like the iPhone 4 and HTC Desire S. Incorporating excellent AMOLED technology the screen uses its high resolution of 480 x 854 to produce natural color depth as well as excellent viewing angles. The Nokia N8 also uses the same AMOLED system but offering a lower resolution of 360 x 640 pixels. If we observe these two screens in terms of what they offer with respect to the pixels per square inch, then the new model comes out at the top with its 238 against the 209 offered by the N8. Both phones use Gorilla Glass, which not only improves resistance properties to screen scratches, but also helps to break if the phone accidentally falls.
Despite offering an excellent camera setup, the Nokia N9 struggles to match the N8 in this area. Much of this has to do with the fact that Nokia really built the N8 as the best camera phone all around with its staggering 12 mega pixel resolution that no phone has yet bettered. Although the phone was exceptional in this department, we do not ignore the fact that the N9 still offers excellent results both in fixed and video capture. Snapshots offer 8 million pixel resolution and there’s extra quality on offer thanks to Carl Zeiss optics which Nokia have once again opted to use just as they did on the N8. As you’d expect from any modern smartphone, video capture delivers high-definition quality in the 720P standard, which not only looks great on the phone’s screen, but also when transferred to a compatible big-screen TV. . The biggest issue that many users had with Nokia phones was the Symbian operating system that they employed. This often let the models down as the interface looked dated and the platform struggled to compete with Android and iOS. Nokia has taken note of this and developed Meego, which is visually a much more attractive system and offers much more functionality with what we can expect from other smartphones.
The Nokia N8 was an attractive phone that offered a lot of features and the N9 has just taken things to the level offering improvements in most areas, but above all the design of the phones and the excellent new operating system it uses.
