The Nokia H8 model has won many titles, and quite justifiably. It is called the best smartphone running the Symbian operating system, the company's fastest and most stable smartphone, as well as the cheapest flagship, which also has no problems in terms of assembly.
Package
The scope of supply is large enough. It includes the Nokia H8 smartphone itself, the characteristics of which will be given below, a 1200 mAh lithium-ion battery, a charging unit with a USB-type cable, a USB OTG cable, an HDMI cable, a wired headset, instructions and a stylus.
Design
From the very first seconds of use, you can feel how comfortable the device is in your hand. There is no bad word to say in this regard. The characteristic of "Nokia H8" indicates that the phone is a monoblock type. That is, the sudden opening of any part should not be expected.
When developing the device, the company decided to abandon the use of the compartment that was used to integrate the battery intopast. There are two screws on the bottom of the smartphone. They actually cover the battery connector. Due to their presence, it was possible to solve the problem with backlashes, which is good. But there may be a situation when you need to change the battery. To do this, you need to buy a special type of screwdriver, specifically for screws.
Warranty with careless operation or careless disassembly can be lost very easily.
Strength
The durability of the Nokia N8 may be the subject of much discussion. The characteristic as a whole says that there are no problems with assembly, with the design of the phone at first. Of course, with a careless attitude, any device will give a hole. This device withstands about 10 drops on a flat tiled surface from a height of one and a half meters. After that, you can already notice scratches in some places. But this is already deliberate sabotage, and such options are not considered.
It is known that this model is supplied to the smartphone market in 5 different colors. It is dark gray, silver, as well as blue, orange and green. It is worth noting the fact that the phone looks bright and beautiful in any color scheme.
Dimensions and edges
The dimensions of the device in all three planes are as follows: the smartphone reaches 113.5 mm in length, 59.12 mm in width, and 12.9 mm in thickness. The weight of the device is 135 grams. "H8" is not too heavy model. However, its weight in the hands is still felt. In general, the dimensions were chosen perfectly: the device and notsmall and not big. It is impossible to talk about any advantages and disadvantages of dimensions.
The left side panel accommodates a MicroUSB connector. You will not see any plugs there, this is not a defect. A little higher are 2 slots. They are reserved for a flash drive, as well as for a SIM card. The design in this regard is different for the model, if you often use plugs, they can easily come off. That is why it is worth exploiting them with special attention and caution.
The right side contains the keys to control the volume of music playback, as well as the background sound mode. Very easy to use slider to lock the device. The bottom end contains a connector reserved for the charger. In the best tradition, there is a 3.5 mm standard wired headset jack on the top edge.
In addition, on the top edge there is an HDMI input, as well as a power button, that is, turning the device on and off. Some phone users say that the sound in the headset is of poor quality. In fact, you need to insert it all the way, until it clicks. Only in this way will the necessary contact be ensured.
Display
The Nokia N8 won't be able to brag about the screen size. The characteristic says that the screen resolution is 640 by 360 pixels with a screen diagonal of 3.5 inches.
The display is covered with glass. Color reproduction is 16 million different colors and shades. The screen design has a built-in layer that is designed to work outdoors. Perthrough the use of special elements, it increases such a parameter as readability. The advantage of the model in terms of display can be called the readability of the text in natural light. "Nokia H8" gives the user the ability to adjust the brightness level manually, without the participation of an external sensor. The contrast and brightness of this model, in principle, are at an average level. It is due to this that the device is quite actively diverging in the smartphone market.
Three font sizes can be selected using the settings, and usually about 16 lines of this or that text are displayed on the screen. “H8” supports multi-touch technology. It can be used both in the Internet browser and in the gallery of photos and images.
The screen is capacitive type. Sensitivity is good, no problems should arise. Rarely, the sensor may fail and not respond. But this is most likely a software problem.
In general, we can say that the screen is quite good. Even if it does not have such a high resolution, even if the color reproduction is not the best kind, however, the level in this price category is above average.
Memory
According to the standard, the built-in RAM is 256 MB. The size of the built-in long-term memory is 16 GB. Up to 32 GB flash drive can be purchased by the user for a fee.
The speed of work due to this amount of "RAM" has increased, but the stability of the work, if not dropped, then remained at the same level. Feature "Nokia N8"indicates that according to the amount of memory, the device falls into the range of medium models.
Most of the time users' problems are with the Internet browser. It slows down the entire device quite a lot. Other applications do not bother the user with such problems. You can run up to 5 programs at the same time. At the same time, the phone behaves quite cheerfully. It remains only to hope that the unstable operation of the device when the browser is running lies in the browser itself, in the software. So, software updates should correct these inaccuracies.
Food
“Nokia H8”, whose battery performance is also at an average level, can work up to 400 hours in standby mode, and function in continuous talk mode for half a day. The lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 1200 mAh.
The new architecture allowed to increase the time of the possible operation of the device in various modes. For example, you can watch video for about 6 hours, listen to music for about 45 hours, record video for 3 hours, play the same video using an HDMI cable for 5 hours.
In principle, the operation of the apparatus is sufficient. But there are many devices whose energy efficiency is at a higher level. The Nokia H8 00 model does not have this. The characteristic shows that although the operating time has been increased, but slightly.
An ordinary user can spend 2 days without recharging the phone. The largest percentage of energy consumeddesktop widgets. Using the Internet browser also drains the smartphone. Moreover, the more pages, the more energy is needed. The maximum brightness set on the display will immediately reduce the operating time by 20 percent.
Communications
Using USB synchronization mode with a personal computer involves choosing one of three connection options. One of them allows you to see the memory of your flash drive and phone, the second allows you to access hardware features, and the third allows you to print photos. The maximum value of data transfer by USB can be 5.5 MB per second. You can also charge your device using the cable.
The installed Bluetooth version is 3.0. The work is not very stable, there may be disconnections and the loss of a device that is literally a meter away. Wi-Fi works with three standards: b, n, g. There are no complaints about him. The characteristics of the Nokia N8 phone in terms of communications are not bad, the device gets a solid four. And this is only due to the fact that some technologies are incompatible with the flagship and are absent on it.
