Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you have heard the hype about Nokia’s new N8 phone, debuting in the Fall. However what you may not know is exactly how powerful this phone’s camera is, surpassing other portable cameras such as the Flip HD and even the iPhone 4. The video above illustrates the vivid clarity that this smartphone will offer users from around the world.

Below are some other additional specs about the phone from Engadget:

“…it’ll be rocking a 12 megapixel camera (with Carl Zeiss optics and a Xenon flash), 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen, HDMI output, 16GB of internal storage, a microSD expansion slot, HD video recording, access to Ovi Store apps, free Ovi Maps walk and drive navigation, and of course, the company’s new Symbian^3 operating system. The N8 touts multiple, personalizable homescreens “which can be loaded with apps and widgets,” native multitasking, support for multitouch gestures and integration with the Qt software development environment. It’ll also ship in a variety of lovely hues (read: five), with availability pegged for “select markets” in Q3 for €370 ($494) without any subsidies involved.”
