"Nokia 808" is an advanced camera phone from a Finnish company that impresses not only with the quality of the pictures taken, but also with the videos. At the same time, all other functions of the device turned out to be very modest. In this article, we will talk about whether a smartphone is worth the money or not.
Appearance
The case is made of plastic and looks rather bulky. The surface is quite vulnerable to scratches, which is a disadvantage of the Nokia 808 - a cover will correct the situation. The device lies well in the hand, there is no special backlash and creaking of the structure. We note that in the place where the back cover connects to the panel on which the camera and flashes are located, large gaps are noticeable, due to which dust enters the device.
The front panel is occupied by the display "Nokia 808", under which there are three physical keys. The front camera, earpiece and proximity and light indicators are fitted above the screen. The left side of the device is empty, and on the right side there is a volume rocker, a device lock button and a camera activation key. At the top, there are micro-USB and HDMI ports, an additional microphone and a 3.5 mm headset jack. The lower part was limited to the main microphone. On the rear panel is the most interesting feature of the device - the main camera. There are also xenon and LED flashes and a sound speaker. The overall dimensions of the device are 123, 9x60, 2x3, 9 mm, weight - 169 g.
Screen
In size, the display reaches 4 inches. ClearBlack AMOLED technology is another advantage of the Nokia 808: the device is overpriced not only because of the high-quality camera, but also because of the advanced matrix. This technology allows you to achieve good color reproduction and viewing angles, and the device does not fade much in the sun. It is worth noting the saturation and depth of black, which looks great here. The screen resolution is only 360x640, so don't expect too much from the picture. Playing games and watching videos with so many pixels is not very interesting, although the screen gives out its 16 thousand colors.
Specifications
The Nokia 808 has a single-core ARM 11 processor running at 1 GHz. Also, 512 MB of RAM are responsible for the technical component, which is clearly not enough. For data storage, users have access to 1 GB with the possibility of expanding memory via microSD flash drives up to 16 GB. Symbian Belle was chosen as the platform - far from the most promising operating system. Communications include USB, Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth 3.0.
Specifications have little to boast in terms of performance. Modern advanced software, and even more powerful toys, the smartphone simply will not pull. It copes well with ordinary tasks, such as quickly processing images, accessing the Internet or plotting a route using GPS, but system resources are not enough for complex programs. In addition, a very limited operating system affects.
Camera
The strongest point of Nokia 808 is the main camera, which has 41 megapixels, of which only 38 are available for taking pictures. There is also a xenon flash, high-quality autofocus and the ability to record videos in 1080p format.
Pictures with the help of optics are excellent: detail, brightness, zoom - everything works at the highest level. When testing the smartphone camera, it turned out that the gadget shoots even better than budget digital cameras and the closest competitors from other brands.
There are three main types of settings here. Auto mode only allows the user to turn the flash on and off, and the system takes care of all other image adjustments. The second set of options allows you to select one of the preset modes, for example, "beach", "night", "macro" and more. The third mode is the most interesting as it allows you to manually adjust three different shooting profiles and select any of them if necessary. Here you can set the resolution of photos, adjust the brightness and contrast, set the appropriate flash, activate effects and more.
The camcorder turned out to be very decent in "Nokia 808": the characteristic of optics will not leave indifferent even the most inveterate fans of video filming. Similar modes are available here as described above. 1080p videos when processed at 30 frames / s are clear and bright, the image does not slow down. Such videos are not ashamed to post on the Internet or watch on a big TV. The owners of the device have the ability to change the frame rate and zoom: the fewer frames per second set, the greater the image zoom can be used.
Battery
The model received a 1400 mAh lithium-ion battery. The figure is modest by modern standards, but considering that apart from the camera, the smartphone does not stand out in any way, the charge should last for a long time. The developers indicate that the device works in talk mode for about 11 hours, and in standby mode - about 365 hours.
Conclusion
Before us is a strong Nokia 808 camera phone, the price of which varies around 16,000 rubles. The gadget is capable of taking great pictures and videos. Pleases with a huge list of various settings that allow you to achieve high-quality and interesting effects on frames.
But unfortunately, apart from the camera, the device does not stand out for anything else: low screen resolution, bulky design, weak technical characteristics repel most users. Of course, we can note the screen matrix with ClearBlack technology, but with such a modest size and low resolution, the display does not look very good.effectively. The 0.3 megapixel for the front camera was a big minus - in the modern age of selfie shooting, this is unacceptable. So those who only take photos and videos in their smartphones will be able to purchase the Nokia 808 in Svyaznoy or another store, but this device will not work for fans of powerful smartphones.
