Nokia N8 Hack Brings 30 FPS HD Video Recording

A hacker by the name of hyperX has hacked a Nokia N8 to achieve better digital still and video quality. Neither hacks are available at this point, but hopefully they will be released soon for users who want better control over the camera’s 12-megapixel sensor for digital photos and HD video recording for video capture. The digital photo hack reduces the compression. On a given photo, compression turns the final file size to 2 MB, but the hack expands that to 11 MB, which means that more details are retained in the photo. For video, the hack allows the camera to record videos at 30 frames per second. You can head over to The Handheld Blog to glimpse the final photo and video.

Nokia: Nokia is a Finnish communications company that was the largest phone vendor (per unit) between 1988 to 2012. The company's history go back to 1871 but the Nokia that we know today (the Nokia corporation) was founded in 1967 by the merger of three Finnish companies. It is then that Nokia worked on networking equipment and was ultimately involved in the launch of the first cellular network in 1981 (Mobira Oy). Nokia because a key developer of GSM, the standard that we all know today. Although Nokia still produces a range of phones that includes entry-level handsets and Symbian smartphones, the company is counting on the Windows Phone OS to regain the share that it once had. The current flagship Windows Phone device from Nokia is the Lumia 920.
