The Nokia N86 To Get Face Detection Via Firmware Upgrade

By - Vaibhav Sharma On 15 September 2009 7 Comments

In what should come as great news for those of you who already own the N86 and even greater motivation for those of you thinking of pulling the trigger on Nokia’s imaging flagship, AAS reveals that the next firmware of the N86 will bring ‘Face Detection’ to the device. This mode allows the camera to automatically scan and focus on human faces and should help the N86 notch up even better results.

The new firmware is also expected to brings a bucketload of bug fixes and even greater improvements to the camera such as less artefacts and better colours. I’ve always believed that the N86 was a great device, but all of this makes me wonder why doesn’t Nokia promote the N86 more, infact it should, much more. Remember the video zoom?

    This is cool! Any idea if this is coming to other phones like N97? I don’t think it has face recognition yet.

    I use N86 and trust me, its cool. I am very much satisfied with its features, design and performance. Face Detection technology is really a good feature. I was waiting for this.
