All About Symbian’s hands-on of the Nokia N96
AAS has published a mega hands on review of a pre-production model of the Nokia N96. There are plenty of pictures and a lot of information about Nokia’s next flagship here. Some important points highlighted are:
- Excellent build quality, unlike the fragile-ness noted in the earlier versions of N95
- The camera is very similar to the one found on Nokia N95
- The 3.5 mm audio jack is now on the top of the device
- There is an additional lock key, which avoids crazy key sequences to unlock the device
- The USB data transfer speed is 5 times that of Nokia N95
- Geo-tagging is now a standard feature on the camera
- Photos can be tagged for a ‘tag cloud’ view
- The FM radio now supports RDS
- The audio is processed by separate DSP, similar to Nokia N91, which means excellent sound quality
- Unlike N95, which used TI chips, the N96 uses ST Micro’s Nomadix platform
- The N96 does not have a graphics accelerator chip, which means game performance may not be upto par.
