Hot on the heels of our full Nokia N8 review here come the results of the Finnish flagship’s battery test. With the N8 battery being non-user-removable (or at least not without a Torx screwdriver) the battery life will probably be more important to potential customers than usual.
The Nokia N8 managed to survive for 42 hours (or just under two days), enduring the following in the process:
- 30 minutes of general usage
- 90 minutes of video playback
- 2 hours of audio playback
- 40 minutes of voice calls
- 40 minutes of web browsing
- 10 minutes of gaming
- 10 minutes of shooting photos and videos
- 10 minutes of navigation
We also did a dedicated video playback test, by looping a standard definition XviD video with the screen brightness set to 50%. The Nokia N8 went on for 6 hours and 20 minutes before the N8 battery died on us.
Now this isn’t too bad and will probably be more than enough for most users. The only issue is that most of its competitors did better when exposed to similar torture and it might turn out that the battery life will count against the N8 when making direct comparisons.

Yesterday at 8:30PM I charged my N8 battery fully. It was completely full charged. Then after that I surfed internet, chatting and social networking..just for one hour. then i closed all applications, turn widgets to offline mode and locked my cell and kept it. then i slept. In the morning around 9am N8 was switched off automatically as the battery was over. How can it be????? is there some problem in my handset? or it gets over in this time? please reply …i need help. i unplug it to charger when its get charged completely…do i need to charge it for long once i got it?
