The editors didn't like

  • Limited video codec support
  • Design is starting to look like a blast from the past
  • Average macro shots
  • A less intuitive UI than we’re used to from Nokia
  • And you can’t share photos on most popular networking sites.
  • Sluggish Symbian OS
  • Tacky build quality
  • Small screen
  • No Xenon flash. Limited photo features. Flimsy kickstand stand
  • No Xenon flash
  • The lack of a Xenon flash does take the shine off what would otherwise have been a killer cameraphone. For a phone which prides itself on its camera
  • It's a pretty big oversight. That said
  • The picture quality is still high
  • So we're prepared to o...

  • User interface looks dated
  • Not the easiest phone to use
  • Connecting to Wi-Fi is fiddly
  • Keys are too small

  • Great camera, good music player, AMOLED display
  • Not as exciting as some rival highend handsets, UI getting a bit dated, annoyingly slow Ovi store
  • The Nokia N86 8MP is a great handset and a significant improvement in build quality from previous Nokia Nseries sliders. Overall, it seems that Nokia have polished their Nseries devices to a higher standard, cramming the most tech possible into the sm...

  • As a smart phone, the Nokia N86 8MP comes out ahead in our ranking, because it is fast and trouble-free device. There is no observable lagging when you switch between menus and applications start almost instantaneously. The accelerometer is overly sens...

  • Pictures taken in artificial lighting conditions have really good quality, Pictures shared on social network websites look great, Beautiful display, Active phone stand
  • Hefty, Inconvenient camera shutter, Operating system interface is boring and unfriendly, GPS tends to lose signal at times for no reason in particular

  • Abstract:  Introduction The N86 follows a well worn path; it is a device with a smartphone blood line stratching back a few years into the mists of history... The advent of the Nseries brand set Nokia on the road to the multimedia computer; devices that aimed to ...

  • Abstract:  Call quality was never an issue with the N86, as it easily lived up to our expectations of a Nokia-branded phone. Ring tones sounded quite loud; we also found the N86’s vibro alert was average strength-wise. Ive never had any high hopes for the Nokia...

  • Abstract:  The new Nokia N86 8MP, with an f/2.8 Zeiss wide-angle zoom lens and an 8MP sensor, represents a new step forward in that specific segment. The device sports centre weighted exposure, 1/1000 sec. shutter speed, multimode flash and several scene modes w...

  • Nokias devices have been high-scorers in our tests and weve generally found lots to like about them. They continue to make improvements to stay competitive with the market, such as the inclusion of 3.5mm headphone jacks instead of the 2.5mm jacks tha...
