Phones are no longer mere functional gadgets; they’re lifestyle accessories that can say as much about you as the brand of shoes you wear. If smart design is your thing, you can’t go wrong with the new Nokia N9.
Launched this week in Cape Town and Johannesburg, the nifty mobile boasts a user interface that’s bound to change the way you interact with your smartphone. Developed specifically for one-hand use, the N9 makes it easy to multi-task while browsing apps, the Web, email and contacts – all with the swipe of a finger.
Here at VISI, we particularly love the fact that the phone allows for easy sharing of images and videos between devices – simply by touching them together.
Music fans, your prayers have also been answered: as the world’s first smartphone with Dolby Digital Plus decoding and Dolby Headphone post-processing technology, the phone offers a surround-sound experience with any set of headphones.
Other noteworthy features include an 8-megapixel autofocus sensor, wide-angle lens, HD-quality video capture and large lens aperture, which make for high-quality snaps. Videos are also easily viewed in widescreen format.
The Nokia N9 will be available in South Africa in November 2011 at an estimated retail price of R5,999.
