Nokia N8 Vs Iphone 4

The mobile phone industry will going to see the tough competition in the time to come in the smartphone market. The two great devices which are coming up by two great companies are Nokia N8 by Nokia and Iphone 4 by Apple. I totally respect these companies for their technology and innovation. Both these companies are great in their respective field. Nokia, though loosing its giant status to other mobile phone companies but still managing the top position in many countries. So lets compare these two devices:

Screen wise: Both have similar screen length though Apple has done some advancement in its display. Nokia N8 has 360 x 640 pixels 3.5 touch-screen whereas Apple's new Iphone 4 has 640 x 960 pixel display. Also Apple has Retina Display Technology which is very impressive.

Camera wise: Nokia should now also include digital cameras in their product list. This N8 has a 10.2 mega pixel Carl Zeiss camera  and  xenon flash whereas Apple's Iphone only offer 5 mega pixels camera. Surely, N8 is a mobile cum digital camera and this is the strongest feature of Nokia's N8 and it beats everybody here.

Operating System: Nokia has launched a new operating system in N8- the Symbian^3 which is yet to be tested by common people. Nokia claims that it is a very advance version of all the previous operating systems but still people will tell the verdict. Apple is using iOS4 which Mr. Steve Jobs has told all of us in his Speech on June 7 and it is impressive. The Apple Iphone 4 is really fast, but we still have to test Nokia N8.

Features: The Nokia N8 has features like HDMI port and Dolby Digital Plus surround stereo, Xenon Flash, 12 megapixel camera, Ovi Services, 48GB of storage with a micro SD card, 720p video and it comes in multiple colours whereas Iphone 4 has Retina Display technology, applications, glass casing, three-axis gyro sensor, 326ppi display, games, apps folders, 64GB of storage and the impressive, power-saving, Apple A4 Processor, which has more than proved its worth in the iPad.

Applications: Nokia's Ovi Store is impressive and have some great applications which they are showing on Nokia World 2010 but comparing with Iphone applications which is currently best in the market does not have match. The applications in Iphone are far superior.

Price: This is the main comparison which all the common user will gonna compare first. Nokia's N8 is far cheaper then Apple's Iphone 4. Though the price in India for both the devices are not available but still Nokia does have an edge here.

Lookwise: I find Nokia N8 far better than Apple's Iphone 4.

So if you are looking for a phone's quality then go for Apple's Iphone 4 but still my heart says Nokia's N8 will give a tough competition to Iphone. Nokia has recently changed its management and it will take some time when Nokia will again regain its market.
