The presence of an HDMI port (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is embedded in the body for connecting the N8 with TV function. What makes a video that appeared on TV looks sharp, and supports up to 720p HD resolution. Plus equipped with Dolby Digital Plus sound technology that seemed to have its own home theater. In the sales package included HDMI adapter cable. Cable and USB On The Go which allows N8 is connected and can read the USB stick.

Performance:

Performance of the Symbian ^ 3 in activating various features considered too fast and responsive. Unfortunately from the side view looks less animated user interface, and no different from previous Symbian series. Armed with powerful 1200 mAh battery, the Nokia N8 can survive as long: 50 to play a song, 6 hours to watch HD video, 3.5 hours of video recording and 2.5 hours of video calls.
