The Nokia N9 and the Nokia N8 are both popular phones from a few years ago. Here’s how they match up.
Nokia N9
The Nokia N8 is running the MeeGo OS. It’s a bit larger than the N8 in terms of dimensions, but interestingly enough both the phones weigh exactly the same amount at 4.76 oz or 135 grams. The N8 display size is a bit larger at 3.9 inches, and it has better resolution at 480 x 854p. Both phones used the AMOLED tech, and both have multi-touch and similar sensors. The N9 has an 8 MP camera. It has a single core, 1000 MhZ processor and about 1 GB of RAM. The built-in storage for the N9 is an impressive 64 GB. It will last 11 hours with its 1450 mAH battery, which is larger than the N8.
Nokia N8
The Nokia N8 is running the Symbian operating system, and it has a smaller screen at 3.5 inches. It also has less resolution. The camera for the N8 is actually considerably better though, at 12.1 MP, though both cameras on the phones shoot the same resolution video. The N8’s processor is a little slower at 680 MHz, and it has less built-in storage at 16 GB, though it does come with the microSD expansion slot whereas the N9 doesn’t have this feature. You’ll get 12 hours of battery time with the N8, which is a bit more than with the Nokia N9.
Conclusion
Overall, the phones are rather similar, with the N9 having mostly better specs overall. The N8 does have the better camera though, and it has the expansion slot which makes it have potentially more storage than the N9, which doesn’t have this slot. Both phones have similar software abilities with the N8 having a bit more in terms of extra features like playing music and voice dialing. It’s hard to go wrong with either phone.
