Nokia N85 vs N82 – Part 2 : OLED vs LCD

on July 2, 2009 – 2:20 pm3 Comments

The 2nd part of our Nokia N85 vs N82 comparison tackles the N85′s biggest addition: the OLED display. OLED which stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode bring a new technology to the N85′s screen removing the small light bulbs from underneath it, and thus allowing for more accurate color renditions, darker blacks and a better contrast. Here is a comparison of the same image being displayed on the N82 (regular LCD screen) and the N85 (OLED screen).









One other advantage of OLED displays is that it remains visible even from very extreme angles. Check out this same picture, displayed on both the N82 and N85 and see how much of an angle we can get with the N85 (compared to the N82) while still being able to see the details of the image.





The final part of this comparison will be up shortly and will show you the difference between the N85′s Dual LED and the N82′s Xenon flash.

    Excellent! the only image missing is the one under direct sunlight (which is btw the only downside of OLED). Cheers, Miki

    small add (as I cannot edit my comments): you should also mention few lines about build quality, N85 was very interesting device for me when came out, however due to EXTREMELY thin plastic on front cover (where those keys are “hidden”) tend to break easily. So many people discussed that flaw, and that was the major turndown for me. Also back cover plastic is very thin, which doesn’t leave the impression of durability. Cheers, Miki
