The following is from Mobile-Review which has previewed N96.

The N96 also packs in a DSP for video processing (decodes to H.264 at 30 FPS and VGA resolution – other formats are supported too, but this one is more prioritized). For its audio needs, the handset employs a 24-bit DSP and a wealth of effects that come preinstalled with it, although it is all up to the vendor to enable them or not.

So as far as the graphics performance is concerned, it'll be on par with the N95/N82. The processor is also the same. So it won't be slow either. As for battery life which many people are worried/complaining about, rest assured it won't be as bad as the N95. Here are the battery life tests done by M-R on the N96 prototype.
The N96 has a rated battery life of 3.6 hours talk time and up to 220 hours standby time. For Nokia N95, the standby time was rated at 240 hours. So, generally, in all main usage modes (voice, web surfing, etc) you won’t notice much of a difference between these too. On a side note, the Nokia N81, thanks to employing different hardware solutions as compared to the Nokia N95, allowed it to excel in terms of battery time in all primary modes, and score 420 hours on standby tests, which is as close to perfect as it only gets. It takes the N96 a little over 2 hours to charge from empty to full.
The Nokia N96 comes equipped with a DSP for sound and video processing; this way, their presence should boost the handset’s performance on these fronts. Let’s take a look at our battery time chart and see how well it fared in a duel with the Nokia N95 8Gb:



  • GPS-navigation – 3 hours
  • Video – 4.5 hours (rated at 5 hours, the Nokia N95 8Gb lasted 3.5 hours).
  • WEB surfing (over EDGE) – 3 hours (same 3 hours on the N95 8Gb).
  • Wi-Fi (non-stop data upload) – 3.5 hours (N95 8Gb – 3 hours).
  • Music (in headphones) – 13.5 hours (rated at 14 hours, the Nokia N95 8Gb – at 10 hours)
  • TV (only for the N96) – up to 5 hours.

Obviously, the N96’s hardware feats help it stay up in the video and music modes longer while packing a less capable battery. Other than that, it was on a par with the Nokia N95 8Gb (give or take in view of its inferior cell).
In Moscow, the N96 stayed online for around 2 days when we were heavy on its features (regular mail checks, up to 5 hours of music and up to 20 SMS messages). We are confident the phone will easily last 2 days even in the most extreme usage mode (except for non-stop web-browsing), and if you are planning to use nothing but its voice calls, then expect 3-4 days of operation, depending on how much time you spend on the phone.

Sorry mate...U R Wrong..:lol:..it has same graphics chip as N95 & N82 :D

Unfortunately it is true Karan ;) (Check out the link by Third eye for an example)

N95 and N82 has Fully HW accelerated 3D (OpenGL ES 1.1, HW accelerated Java 3D) based on Texas Instruments OMAP 2420, which the N96 sadly lacks.

Again u r wrong it has same ARM processor as N82 :x

Again u r wrong :rolleyes:

N95 & N82 = Dual ARM 11 332 MHz CPU
N96 = Dual ARM 9 264 MHz CPU

N96 cpu is downgraded to Dual Arm 9 264 MHz.

When N96's graphics performance is concerned, then it is powerful enough to handle FP2 graphics like transition effects etc. and since based on the Dual cpu architecture its quite capable in recording at Vga @ 30fps.

But the fact remains that it will not deliver the same performance N95 & N82 give in 3d gaming.



But as i said before i will say it again

Its still quite an awesome phone :razz:
Superb looker + tons of space for ur movies :D

Why is the C902 brought into the equation ???
No need for lengthy comparisons ,
Ps . N82 is overall much better phone than C902 ;)

N82 has wifi which is really an important feature...The C902 lacks it...And C902 is expensive than N82...

The C902 does not have GPS also...

^^ Let us not discuss that here. Unless you want you-know-who to join and start another Nokia vs SE war. This thread is only for the N96. *s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj44/visio159/Unismilies/8.png
