The Nokia N86 8MP is a high-end smartphone announced on 17 February 2009[1] and released in May 2009. It runs on Symbian OS 9.3 (S60 3rd Edition FP2) and is part of the Nseries. It shares similar design features with the N97.
One of its main selling points is its Carl Zeiss photography features.[2] It was Nokia's first camera phone to have an 8 megapixel sensor, 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.[3]
The N86 8MP has a toughened glass front cover and metal detailing. It has a 2.6-inch AMOLED display, a fast 434 MHz processor, the "dual-slider" form factor and a 8 GB internal memory.[4][5] It also has the same kickback stand as the N85 so it's possible to use as a small standalone screen, and it's possible to configure the opening of the stand to launch applications such as the video player.[6] It also supports the N-Gage gaming platform. The N86 8MP is regarded as the spiritual successor of the N95 8GB, due to its advanced multimedia features in the same sliding form factor, and the commercial failure of the N96.[7] Some regard it a successor of the N82 due to its camera.[8]
