              Nokia N8 vs Nokia N9 - User Opinions

                The obvious changes though are the N9 packs an 8mp camera with Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus and dual-LED flash compared to the 12mp camera of the N8. While the N8 runs on a 680Mhz ARM 11 processor the Nokia N9 has been given more punching power running a 1 GHz Cortex A8 CPU – so you can expect a smoother experience.Jul 6, 2011

                The N9 sticks with the winning formula that made the Nokia N8 stand out as a camera phone. The obvious changes though are the N9 packs an 8mp camera with Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus and dual-LED flash compared to the 12mp camera of the N8.Jul 6, 2011
