The New Nokia N96 16GB Multimedia Phone

Hello once again. Guess what! This time I am here with the new Nokia N96 Multimedia Phone and literally speaking I am spellbound over its features. Writing this article I don't know where to start with-"It has got such a bundle of features that you won't believe its a phone."



Starting with the camera, a 5.0MP is not a joke to work with. Yup,it has got a 5.0MP camera supported by Carl Zeiss Tessar™ lens optics. It has an amazing capability to capture images of size 2593 x 1944 pixels. Possesses an auto-focus and auto-aperture feature with a 2.8F aperture. Again a Dual-LED camera flash, video light, recording indicator and auto-focus assist light just as the currently approaching camera versions.Supported image formats are JPEG and EXIF. Also has a secondary VGA camera which is not much to be spoken about.



Following Video capture,capable of recording in MPEG-4 up to VGA at 30 fps Digital Video Stabilization (DVS). Special feature:"You can Record a complete football match using your N96."Supports video file format in .mp4 (default) and .3gp(for MMS).There are also special settings for scene, video light, white balance and color tone adjustment of the media.



Of course being a multimedia phone it will have to store a lot.So it has 16GB internal flash memory, microSD memory card slot (hot swappable) for expandability and flexibility so that you can expand up to a total of 24 GB.Approximate dynamic memory capacity indication with 16GB storage:
* Video: 40 hours
* Music: 12,000 tracks
It houses a 128MB RAM and a 256MB net system memory (operating system plus dynamic user data area).
