Nokia Takes on Android, New Symbian-based Smartphones
Nokia unveiled new Symbian-based smartphones during the NokiaWorld event
Nokia unveiled new Symbian-based smartphones during the NokiaWorld event in London. Alongside the previously announced N8 flagship device, Nokia is going to launch the rumored C6 and C7 handsets and the new E7 business smartphone. Like the N8, these new products will ship with Symbian^3, the latest generation of the open source Symbian operating system.
The new phones were demonstrated during an opening keynote by Anssi Vanjoki, Nokia executive vice president and general manager of mobile solutions. One of the major themes that Nokia executives emphasized during the NokiaWorld event is the company's desire to offer a broad product lineup that serves different kinds of consumers. As Vanjoki introduced Nokia's new lineup of Symbian smartphones, he explained the target audience for each product.
The Nokia N8 Vanjoki described the Nokia N8 as a breakthrough multimedia device with a top-notch camera. It has a 12MP sensor, Carl Zeiss optics, Xenon flash, and a mechanical shutter. Although he acknowledges that it still can't rival a dedicated digital camera, he contends that the N8 has a better camera than any other smartphone.
To demonstrate its efficacy, he showed a series of impressive photos that were taken on the device. To further illustrate its multimedia qualifications, Vanjoki plugged the phone into the theater's projectors with an HDMI cable and played a high-definition trailer of the upcoming Tron film directly from the device.
