  • Se nota mejor el samsung pero es una comparacion inutil simbyan 3 es una mierda, porque no lo comparan con un n8 que tenga simbyan BELLE.

  • si ps el sansung galaxy pierde gente por no tener una buena cámara

  • i like nokia n8 $

  • Which one do you most like? I wanna buy ineof them, but i don't know which one should i buy!

  • @spray7679 decide, you want a good camera with good free apps (as gifts) n8, if you like gaming and overall speed of the UI selec galaxy. if you wanna use calls and message and free chats, get a cheap ass blackberry. depend on your needs.

  • vi los 4 videos y se nota como el samsung le gana en todo, en velocidad es terrible. El nokia es solo camara nada mas. Nose como hay gente q mirando el video eligen nokia, yo antes tenia un nokia n85 y ahora tengo el samsung galaxy s scl y la verdad se nota la diferencia.

    aguante samsung

  • I don't fucking care about the weakness of N8. I'm buying that camera :P

  • nokia ya paso de moda,,,,no puede competir con samsung nunca!!!!!! no hay manera de comparar la mierda de nokia con un samsung galaxy

  • @goro08100 sansung le copia a todos los mejores celulares... ejemplo ese sansung tiene todo lo que motorola saca... se que te sirve un procesador increible como este si no lo puedes utilizar como pc... mientras motorola lleva la delantera! ojo con eso!

  • n8 browser is so shit, so unresponsive and laggy the phone moved up when he scrolled. Nokia = SHIT.

  • nunca van a comparar esa poruqeria de samsung galaxy con un nokia n8 el nokia es en casi todos los puntos millones de veses mejor en lo unico que el samsung lo supera es en pulgadas y en sistema operativo pero en los otros aspectos el samsung perese ante el nokia

  • mmmmmm me parece k no !!!!! si te compraste nokia te kagaron!!!!! no hay manera de comparar un nokia con semejante samsug galaxy s,,,,mejor lee en los foros asi te sacas las dudas

  • imbecil

  • wow Nokia dudes have a LOT OF WORK of their web browsing functions.

    Samsung is a much better.

  • Samsung ruless... nokiaa...... :(

  • nokia is the best~~~~~

  • n8 better for camera :D

  • 0.39 nokia battery life is still full rather than samsung despite samsung has the quality multifunctional,faster than nokia...

  • my N8 still the best just waiting for symbian belle

  • Samsung Galaxy S  = Mobile phone with camera.

    Nokia N8 = Camera with mobile phone

  • I have both phones n I think both phones are great in its different ways..

  • nokia n8 really sucks :/ . just rescued the 12 px camera

  • NNNNNOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKIIIIIIIAA­AAAAAAAAAA n8

  • I don't understand these people. Why the hell would you compare an smartphone that has a 1 Ghz app processor with another one that has an 600 mhz app processor? I mean, come on guys, it's a HUGE difference. It would be more wise to compare different operating systems on the same hardware or at least the same frequencies of the hardware.

  • =HMMMMM

    =N8'S DEFAULT BROWSER SUCKS NEED TO USE OPERA ANYWAY AND THHAT ISNT LAGGING HEHE

  • What the fuck is sumsang?

  • i like samsung and nokia

  • Comment removed

  • Forget nokia,got left behind by samsung among others.

  • almost 400 MB of Processing and 256 of ram difference please

  • Even a chimp would buy an SGS over an N8 any day !

  • I'm reading the comments and i see that all of them are a Nokia n8 fans !! I don't know why but i see that Samsung is way better ..i mean look at the colors , resolution , touch flawless , browsing speed and the bigger screen plus beautiful interface ..all that make Samsung galaxy way better than the n8 .. camera and sound is better in n8 ..that's all in my opinion

  • @slimmy666 I still keep my opinion. I could have bought a Galaxy S, but I did not. They cost about the same. I have a friend of mine who is a huge Android fan. He always tried to convience me, not to by an N8. And this is do annoying. I don't blame others' phones, I respect your opinion. When we compared our devices, his screen was not better, only in direct sunlight - it was more visible, but I could very easily read anything on my N8. The N8's battery life is much longer and has a higher [...]

  • @slimmy666 I could have bought a Galaxy S, but I didn't. They cost the same. I have a friend who is a Fandroid. He always tried to convience me not to by an N8. And this is do annoying. I don't blame others' phones, I respect your/their opinion. Wwe compared our devices his screen was not better at all, only in direct sunlight - but I could also easily read anything on my N8. The N8's battery life is much longer and has aluminium and gorilla glass casing. Galaxy S is made of plastic. *Peace*

  • @molbal Galaxy S INFACT has gorilla glass too ;)

  • how slow is nokia:)))

  • ODIO NOKIA OJALA LES METAN UN TUBO OXIDADO POR EL CULO A LOS DIRECTIVOS DE NOKIA, ES UN SISTEMA CULERO QUE NO PUEDES EXPANDIR Y EXPLOTAR COMO ANDROID, PARA PENDEJOS QUE NO SABEN DE TELEFONOS LE BESAN LOS HUEVOS A NOKIA, COMO DICE EL DICHO EL Q NO CONOCE A DIOS A CUALQUIER BARBON SE LE HINCA, PINCHES TELEFONOS CULEROS MIERDEROS Y ADEMAS CAROS, EN CAMBIO MI GALAXY TAB ESTA A AÑOS LUZ DE CUALQUIER NOKIA INCLUSO AL N8, JAJA NO ES MAS QUE EL PRIMO MENOR DEL SATIO U1, TAMBIEN EN INGLES LO SE DECIR EH!

  • @5534555264 Retarded comment:)) eres un/una puta ;).Pussy:D.

  • n8 saves u time for zooming into web pages, it already zoomed it 4 you

  • what an idiot

  • Nokia N8 can be used also as an eReader with mBooks app. For more information of what mBooks can do or if you already have it and encountered problems, watch this video on youtube called "Nokia mBooks Hands On Presentation"

  • I have Nokia N8, only problem with it is that Internet is SUPER LAGGY, youtube webside is all weird as it shows in this video, and for some reason youtube videos are in horrible quality (it's hard to see on video, but in real life you'll see it).

  • god... juz send wome one here n put in a better processor and larger RAM n ROM into N8. put android in it oso. i really like the body design

  • ...is it no-kee-ya ..or noke-a

  • The best brainf*cking browser is Symbian browser...

    In past im used SGS and N8... N8 slow, non user friendly, epic fail device with great camera and battery device... Galaxy S fast, userfriendly, comfortable device, but camera and housing - suck...

    Currently i am use sgs2.

  • Comment removed

  • but i would like to know if i use another browser , would i get a better experience with the n8????

  • @jasbullanguero yes, mate.. thats the advantage of having a symbian device.. the availabiltyof free/cracked apps is good.. use opera mobile browser for N8.. it blows away the default nokia browser. You wont use the default browser once u install Opera on ur N8 ;)

  • i choose nokia... more easy n usefull

  • иди всё нахуй мудаки ебаные... N8 the best!! Обама лох... Америка хуйня я вас в рот ебал 300 раз... ВЫ ВСЕ ГОВНО!!! Peoples, please kiss my ass)

  • android os is faster than symbian and it has more features than symbian.. in case of hardware nokia beats galaxy s in camera and build quality.... but galaxy s has 1ghz processor, super amoled screen, better touch screen... i will go with galaxy s...

  • i love n

    8

  • Try Opera for browser...much, much better...Android or Symbian, doesn't matter

  • @smartydix How can I install Opera on Nokia N8?

  • @fotosony Here's the links:

    opera.com/mobile/download/noki­a/n8/

    store.ovi.com/content/20975

    N8 supports Opera Mini 6(int. language), Opera Mini 6(pref. language), Opera Mobile 11 and Opera Mini 4.3.

  • even with flash "ON" galaxy s finished first.... that shows how gud the device is...

  • для браузера есть опера, глупо через стандарт сравнивать, даун делел обзор

  • on galaxy s is the web is just  like your desktop, with full flash!

  • People say the nokia has failed! it matters what you want in your phone! if yu want better quality pictures and videos and better music quality and layout the nokia is top

  • Who gives a shit ... Uptight tone of reviewer.. Bullshit criteria ... Then some idiots take the whole thing seriously ... Wise up

  • that nokia phone is a joke compared to a flagship phone like the Samsung Galaxy S. The screen is way too small on the nokia, and the android phone is running circles around anything else out there. Just the flash support alone, is quite different on these two devices. This wasn't even close. Galaxy was clearly the superior device here.

  • n8 bad bad bad

  • part 4?? Galaxy S killed N8 in part 1

  • Android huh.....Test the fucking android and nokia with th eupdates and you will see Android is the slowest system

  • he he he

    all samsung always sucks.

  • @tony3dmax agree,samsung is easy to broke,it sucks

  • Samsung failed again.....Nokia will update n8's OS so it will be way better^^

  • @AlexMangekyo i don't think symbian will ever be better than android but even if it was better the sgs has better hardware so it wouldn't matter

  • @Smenu10 I think you must learn better English because it looks like you don't know WHAT hardware is, when N8 is WAY BETTER THAN Galaxy S , in hardware N8 is better than HTC phones.....pff.

  • @AlexMangekyo wtf?? the only hardware thats better on the n8 is the camera...the cpu and ram is weaker

  • @Smenu10 Yes, it's the camera i mean, the CPU and RAM are weak but it couldn't be so grave if the phone had at last Android OS on it.

  • @AlexMangekyo yeah so who cares about the camera at all ? this is a phone not a fucking camera...i wouldn't choose the n8 over the sgs but thats just me

  • @Smenu10 what do you say about aluminium case, scratch-free front glass? When you buy a Macbook Pro you are certainly not looking just for processing. Aluminium case, backlit keyboard and other aspects count more than only analyzing a device basing yourself on CPU specs.

  • @semiografo who gives a shit about an aluminum case and scatch-free glass...i can always buy those after and i would still have a superior phone.And mac's are useless...esspecialy for gaming. I would never waste my money on one

  • Samsung kicks ass....Thumbs up if you agree :)

  • N8 is cheaper because it has lower resolution display, a 680 Mhz processor, lesser RAM and ROM and it DOES NOT provide a market to die for. Galaxy S wins this easily.

  • Before comparing the two phones would you be so kind to deactivate the energy saving mode in N8 causing screen to lose brightness thx

  • nokia update pr1.1 make the browser faster

  • is the internet on the galaxy s free or do u need a wireless conection because i dont have a wireless conection in my home. could u please answer this question ASAP because i will buy this phon in a weeks time. thankyou :)

  • 1:16 It did show up, but I think the browser had some formating issues and the picture of the Sony ericsson ended on top.

  • I can't believe there are still Nokia fanboys after what, maybe 6 or 7 years since they last made a quality, leading edge phone? Why support a company that wastes so much money churning out junk and resting on long past glories. 3 billion dollars a year on R&D and this is all they can come up with?

  • OMG...i can see now that u are a big samsung fan...the engadget.com page loads in opera in les then 3 sec.have fun

  • why are u even showing this when everyone knows that nokia browser really sucks...do this and on the nokia instal opera...and trust it will show all the content

  • Is Opera browser on N8 comparable to the Samsung stock browser?

  • really seeing the advantages of the 4 inch screen during web browsing. really seeing just how annoying and unusable the N8's default browser is, too. what are they doing with the same retarded 5 year old browser? MicroB was sooo good in the n900

  • iv done the same test with these two phones, but with opera mini on n8 and the n8 was quicker, any thoughts?

  • Thank you for this brilliant 4 part review, it was very helpful. It's unlikely I will now get an N8 - I'm disappointed at how the UI and web browser has not moved on much from the N95.

  • Android Phone is battery drainer that will be your problem.

  • as most of u may know, opera mini runs on n8 equally as good as the iphone or the samsung in that matter

  • @united7866 Yes,and my opinion because i have been seen it Opera Mobile made my N8 as fast as my PC

  • They are both exceptionally nice smartphones. I was a bit sceptical when I bought my N8 but I have to say I love it, LOVE IT! There are definitely some issues in web-browsing in N8 and galaxy is better on that area. However that is a fixable issue. N8's design and hardware are better than Samsungs. If I have to recommend the best all around phone which can do everything adequatelly I would go for N8. If somebody is mainly interested in web-browsing I would go for Samsung.

  • i have n95 8gb and it's great, but next mobile i will buy is galaxy s...nokia n8 is good but not enough for that price..

  • if you could not make a comparison between x10 xperia vs nokia n8

  • the galaxy s is lag too the iphone is the best it scroll very fast and dont lag in multitouch

  • @iFLYq8y ahhh ...apple fanboys....dont u love them?

  • Samsung Galaxy s Vs. Nokia n8. Didn't know which one I had to buy! But Now ive seen that galaxy s is much faster. The camera is even better :O They are both the same price. GPS of galaxy s is much better as of the n8. So ive made my choice :D GALAXY S :d

  • 2:58 I checked in my phone. the flash adv does open bt sometimes it's slow. though i wd love if it dsnt open or the browser hs options to block it. i hate flash ads unless it's a flash video.

  • samsung galaxy S is the best phone ever,the super-amoled display is just....

  • Samsung rocks. Nokia N8 sucks.

  • the galaxy s screen kicks the crap out o the n8. you can even see it really clearly in this simple video.

  • I prove the same webpage and I can tell you that you have a bad connection, the web was open really fast

  • ► Samsung Galaxy S. Like speed, playing time was related to the program Acne Apple Pi K. Nation various ► Nokia N8. Like the same video camera.

  • galaxy s doesn't suck -.- it depends on what you do whit your phone i like to game i like to watch movies i like to use the internet so i pick galaxy s because of the 1Ghz processor simple remember both are god phones it yest depends on what you do whit your phone

  • Dont get fooled by the browser!!! Nokia has promised a BIG update in Februari i think wich includes a new browser and a lot of other juicy stuff that will speed it up :D

  • difiicult to read in n8 this is all n8 is a pussy shit

  • i would like a phone as easy to use as a nokia, as cool as an iphone and with a cool music player as a walkman :)

  • ►Samsung Galaxy S

    → advantage: faster and fancier user interface

    → disadvantage: unit is too expensive, you've also got to pay for GPS (like an open wound bleeding out your money as you navigate)

    ►Nokia N8

    → advantage: costs only 2/3 the price of Samsung Galaxy S, lifetime FREE GPS Service. Not so bad OS for its price. Excellent Camera and HDMI port.

    → disadvantage: Slower user interface/OS/ Processor

    I drive too often to unfamiliar places, so I'll go for Nokia!

  • @LakanDemonio

    You fail, with Google map 5.0, don't need data map online, can use data map offline, don't need money charge for map data. Google map 5, faster, smoother, and greater... GalaxyS can out HDMI port.

  • @LakanDemonio You don';t have to be for your navigation for samsung galaxy s :) It's free haha :P

  • @LakanDemonio paying for the GPS must just be a network thing or something as I dont have to pay for it on my Galaxy S

  • @josepheuan09 good for you. Yeah it must be a network thing for the Galaxy S. But for Nokia - that's all free whereever you are whatever network you have. I hope the other mobile phone brands makes the same step... It's really cool when they compete with each other producing better and better stuffs to choose from.

  • @LakanDemonio 2/3 price of samsung galaxy s? Here (the netherlands) nokia n8 is 406 euro and samsung galaxy s is 426 euro ;p

  • @VNDDT08 good for you in the netherlands, here in manila the galaxy S is around 30,000 pesos while the N8 is only around 20,000 pesos. Also the cheapest non-china brand phones around here is the Nokia, like you can buy a basic call and sms phone for only around 1,200 pesos or around 20 euros - they sell like pancakes! Other china-brand phones like those that includes features such as TV, multiple sim card slots...you name it they got it all under one cellphone unit at a low price, nyahahaha!

  • @LakanDemonio What's the point of having free maps if they're outdated ( I think you drive to unfamiliar places because of the maps on the Nokia). I think the galaxy S is worth the extra price because of the faster cpu better and bigger screen more apps and a better os (except for the battery life). I do admire the supirior camera of the Nokia N8 and the USB feature though.

  • @LakanDemonio the samsung is more expensive where you come from maybe cause here i can buy one cheaper than the n8

  • @LakanDemonio Whatever happened to Google Maps Navigation?

    Unless, of course, you live outside the US...

  • @LakanDemonio Just wait for new WP7 OS/interface and 1 Ghz Processor, and then find another disadvantage for Nokia :)

  • @smartydix i can give you one instantly, battery life dropping to 1 day like all other phones on the market which is shit for the price it will cost (and the price androids sell for atm).

  • @esdjji How do you know how much will it cost? Almost All Nokia phones are much cheaper than Android ones...

  • @smartydix what i wanted to say is, no matter what price, it won't be worth it since battery won't be lasting even for a day.

  • @esdjji How do you know that? And is that for Symbian and Android or just for Symbian?

  • @LakanDemonio In Romania, Nokia N8 is more expensive than Galaxy S ( Nokia N8-600 $ and Galaxy S-550 $, but Galaxy S has just 8 GB. The 16 GB Galaxy S has the same price with Nokia N8. Samsung has a better screen resolution, better colours, but the battery sucks- just 1 day, vs 2 days at Nokia N8. Finally, I have decised: I will buy a Nokia N8

  • @LakanDemonio dude.. wad d hell.. in india... galaxy s and n8 cost almost the same..!!!!!

    i would prefer galaxy s with better processor.. and open source operating system... and i dont trust nokia at all becoz evry time i buy nokia... within months my cell lands up in d dustbin becoz of repeated software updates!!!! :D

  • @9322002898 yes now its the same here in Manila, I wonder why Samsung suddenly drops the price from Php 35,000 to only about Php 22,000, this now matches the price of the N8.

    Choosing a device depends on your needs... I use my cellphones primarily to make calls&sms, and with nokia's free Ovi Maps and navigation to find my location. While I prefer to use my computer with a larger monitor & a thousand times better processor than galaxy for browsing the internet and other multimedia functions.

  • @LakanDemonio Good luck carrying your computer around.

  • I want the N8 :(

    Samsung Galaxy S has it's fair share of bad reviews for it's lag and GPS fail. The fact it won't get Android Gingerbread when it can run it fine.

  • I want n8`s options(and luks) and galexy`s speed :(

  • the screen of samsung much better than Nokia8 ...

  • i want a handset for multimedia...which one should i choose...perhaps N8 ??

  • Samsungs suck. Iam happy broken sum-sang owner :)

  • @KiintoisiatVideota dude its not samsung fault that you break your phone .... and samsung doesn't suck ..... yest because you cant take care of your phone doesn't mean samsung suck -.-

  • @KiintoisiatVideota That's your problem. You can't blame that on samsung :) Samsung galaxy s keeps surprising me :) I have been having it for almost a 6 months!

  • lol @ nokia,,, is that it?,,,,,, oh well of to the shop to get me a galaxy s

  • As an iphone user, I must say I am bored of the layout, very BORING. Time to switch to Android I guess... Have to admit, they really done a good job on their OS.

    And Nokia... Sorry to see such painful navigation.... they do offer good hardware, but their OS is just.. well outdated and slow :(

  • Samsung Galaxy S have got moooooooore better display, Software and hardware too.

  • im sorry the galaxy kicks Nokia N8's ass! ya the camera on the N8 is better but nothing else and if u have a digital camera already the issue doesn't matter, so sorry Nokia, Samsung beats u on this one!

  • samsung dominates now :)

    even iphones until 3gs model used samsung chipset inside them and now they make another chip of same technology and renamed it to apple A4 chip :)

    and funny thing is samsung made such a big market around the world and now dominates US smartphone market while apple still only limited to US and now they ship it worldwide (better marketing than 3gs) but iphone 4 was epic issues phone

    badluck apple

    samsung to rule ^^

  • @cdnml I-Phone is the best

  • lol nokia was good some years ago whit symbian, lol i loved intal sotwatre on my ngage, but samsung its to powerfull now, the new galaxy S and android, beats easly iphone and shit aple sofware, the only thing that was good to improve in galaxy was a flash led, and the image quality of samsung its the best now

  • no tienen ninguna punto de comparación...android está mucho más avanzado que el pobre y viejo symbian. Nada puede hacer el n8 respecto al Galaxy...solo le puede llegar a ganar con la cámara.

  • All in all the N8 is better just the browser is very bad but you can download opera mobile on it and than the nokia browses faster than befor so I would buy the N8 in the end. But if you want to I think nokia will release the n9 running on meego next year this will be even better... ;)

  • Samsung is by far the best in the market right now. I've owned plenty of nokia phones ranging from the classic 3310 to the X6 16 GB and towards the end nokia's done nothing but let me down. There's always something wrong with it and the customer service... i'd rather be sucked into a worm hole. A year back i brought the samsung jet and i must say its really good. My next one will most definitely be the galaxy s or later. As an overall package the galaxy's pretty neat.

  • @ethan999oz same here had a 6280,, firmware corrupted 3 times,, had n95 8gb,,as soon as you used 1gb of memory it would run very slow, only do like 1fps in video mode,,,and take ages to boot up the camer,,,I WILL NEVER BUY NOKIA AGAIN!!!!

  • @TheRichmole Amen to that!

  • trhe n8 is not a bad phone but not as good as the android beast

  • N8's Browser and Home screen is updated and it is much more like N900 browser and no delay on home screen~

  • Soon N8 will have over 50+ feature update.

  • yes nokia should work on its browser ....i think so only browser makes n8 weak

  • @bomi1952 the nokia n8 still has the old s60 browser, which was developed for the nokia 5800 and n97, but no wonder they are working on a new browser, which will be available in the first symbian 3 update, other than that i see no weak point for such a small processor device, remember the galaxy doubles n8 in hardware!!!

  • @alex8903460

    Double? well i saw a video where a guy ran 5 games in the backround of the N8 and it ran smooth even after that. would the galaxy run 10 than? i doubd't soo.

    Sorry for any misspellings, im norwegian.

  • @kabelfjernsyn

    Don't be silly. GaS have 1Ghz ARM Cortex-8, N8 have CPU ARM11 680 Mhz. Never fast when compare.
