The Nokia N8 is a Symbian smartphone of the Nokia Nseries and Nokia's flagship device of 2010. It was released on 23 September 2010 at the Nokia Online Store before being released in markets around the world on 1 October 2010. The N8 features a 12 megapixel camera, a pentaband 3.5G radio and image-based gesture recognition. Among the connectivity features are an HDMI output, USB On-The-Go, and Wi-Fi.
Nokia N8 has dual charging options. It requires either a standard-pin Nokia charger or a 'flat pin' "micro"-USB charger.
