As we all know, the N86 was recently announced and it’s the successor for the current N85. The N86 comes with an 8megapixel camera, kickstand and a hard glass-nonscratchable screen…. but what else makes it different than the N85?

Ewan Spence from AAS has come up with a very comprehensive article that compares both from the hardware aspect.

Oi, tudo bem? Não entendo muito de hardware essa coisa toda em celular, e parabéns pelo seu ótimo trabalho e informações, sou seu fã, aprendo muito com você sobre celulares e suas tecnologias. Por gentileza, gostaria de saber se o video gravado pelo N86 é realmente melhor do que os gravados pelo N95? Obrigado
