Samsung i8510 - Nokia N96, C905 Killer?

Samsung i8510 - Nokia N96, C905 Killer?

Techtree News Staff, Jul 14, 2008 1820 hrs IST

Will the Samsung i8510 make Nokia N96 outdated?

Rumours, rumours everywhere. This time it's Samsung. If initial reports are to be believed, Samsung is readying the mother of all Series 60 phones - the i8510. This one boasts of an impressive specs list that may make the likes of the N96 cringe and turn in their graves.

So what's the big deal?

To start with, there is the 8 Megapixel camera, reportedly, the same unit as the Sony Ericsson C905 Shiho. Other features include:

  • A 2.8-inch QVGA (240 320 pixels) screen, capable of displaying 16 million colours

  • 120 fps (QVGA) video recording. (Note: These are not the final specs - so that might go up to VGA.)

  • UMTS with HSDPA support, WiFi, GPS, TV out, DivX support, dedicated 3D graphics chip

  • Optical mouse (Similar to as i780 and i900 Omnia)

  • 1200 mAh battery

  • 106.5 53.9 16.9 mm metal case

  • 16 GB internal memory - probably an 8GB version is expected too




  • If the above specs are true, the N96 seems to be outdated even before its been launched. As for the Sony Ericsson C905, a direct comparison would be unjust as the latter is not a smartphone. No word on face detection on the new Samsung though.

    Let's sit back and wait for Nokia's answer!

    Samsung very serious about s60 and ready to launch anthere s60 device. This is good thing but standing against Nokia need some powerfull improvement in the field of Gallery option like Nokia rotted 3D Gallary &Wi-fi at standby screen and xenon flash. No dout i8510 will be a great device but lake of these absence will keep it down. I hope in feature samsung will care on these absence.

    The Samsung may look like a winner, but the reality is that Samsung will not be able to really compete with Nokia for a long time! The devil is in the details!
