Nokia N8 Specs Sheet Leaked

Evan Selleck — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 17:19:41 +0000

Right after the Nokia N8 gets reviewed by a Russian mobile site, the internal specification sheet gets leaked. And while it doesn’t necessarily decry a load of information you couldn’t discern from the review, we have to admit that we hate to see good specs getting wasted in a mediocre phone. And, that’s exactly what’s happening with the N8. As you’ll see, the specs detail a phone you might actually want. Unfortunately, it’s still the N8.

Noteworthy: 3.5-inch OLED touchscreen display, with a 16:9 widescreen ratio; 16M colors; a 680MHz processor; 12MP Carl Zeiss lens, Xenon flash, and 20x digital zoom; GPS; Bluetooth; WiFi b/g. So, like we said, some pretty good features, especially for a Nokia touchscreen device. That 3.5-inch OLED display is nothing to scoff at, either. We just wish the review had gone better.

There’s also something else worth mentioning. The spec sheet is dated back in November, so there’s obviously some things on there that are going to change. We’ll have to wait until the official one to compare it to, so hopefully we don’t have too long to wait before Nokia announces it, or it gets leaked.
