Nokia N82
Encyclopedia
The Nokia N82 is a smartphone
produced by Nokia
. It is part of the company's Nseries
line of smartphones which features the N-Gage gaming platform and the Nokia Music store (where available). The N82 runs Symbian OS v9.2 based S60
3rd Edition platform with Feature Pack 1, which may be updated with Nokia Software Updater
to the latest firmware (v35.0.002).
The first Nokia phone with xenon flash, the N82 has a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, and was considered the best camera phone
on the market until the arrival of the Samsung GT-i8510
.
Discussions and head to head comparisons of these two models demonstrate the N86 8MP, which is equipped with dual LED
flash, is not consistently capable of outperforming the N82 in variable lighting. The primary advantage of using LED is light source for video recording, whereas the xenon flash has a stronger burst of light, but it cannot be used for recording videos due to its technical composition.
The N82 includes a built-in accelerometer
for video stabilisation and photo orientation to keep landscape or portrait shots oriented as taken, and automatic 270 degree screen rotation.
The mainland China
market version of the N82 has a different hardware platform which has Wi-Fi and the UMTS radio removed (no 3G support), has a different product code (RM-314 as opposed to RM-313) and its firmware is incompatible with the regular model's. This version can be readily identified by the lack of "WLAN scanning" display on the idle screen.
