Motorola ZN5 - Here to stay!

[Hitboxx]

As reviewed on mobile-review,

Motorola’s neglection of the imaging department in cell phones has been the maker’s tendency of late, although that's nothing to be proud of. Having missed the moment when this segment was only emerging, the company opted to ignore it for a very long while, so most of their solutions ended up several years behind the market's progress, and thus didn't look all that fetching. To mend the things they needed something not only competitive, but a phone that could surpass the rest of the pack. And they decided not to spare money or resources to hop on the bandwagon that seemed all but gone for them.

The first solution of the new breed is the PIXL (MOTOZINE ZN5), which, however, brings nothing extraordinary to the table with its 5 Mpix camera module and Xenon flash – all this is already available with the Sony Ericsson K850i, Nokia N82, Nokia 6220 Classic and the likes. Nevertheless, they have taken this hardware one step further and learned from the experience of their direct competitors to make up one unique device. Put it to you this way – the Motorola ZN5 is no revolution, but rather a revision and aggregation of what others have come up with to date into a user-friendly imaging-savvy handset. And since it was Motorola’s first experience with something of this type and scope, they had a real challenge lying ahead. But as I see it, they’ve coped well with this task.

No offence meant, but, what would you call the success of Moto Razr then ?

[krates]

^^^ they are all flip and looks rox

and btw i was saying good comparing to the other company phones atleast moto got something to showcase

[saurabhpatel]

They need another RAZR to tide them thru bad times. ZN5 does not seem to such a product.

[krates]

HEY ALL see the keypad

it is the same MORPHING KEYPAD used in MOTO E8

[Third Eye]

Keypad looks similar to L9.

[krates]

no i can see the morphing key wait i am editing the pic



see i have tried to mark them

[praka123]

Linux based?

Operating system -- MontaVista Linux 2.6.10 kernel, with Motorola MOTOMAGX Linux-Java UI layer, built atop Qt for Embedded Linux (formerly Qt/Embedded)

http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS3615635041.html

that means this mobo will be fast.and wont get slow down with time(like symbian or window$ ).

go motorola!

[cooldudie3]

Symbian is just awesome
nothing can beat it. This phone will never be like N95 or SE W960i etc. etc.

[Pathik]

Mereko laga hi tha ki tune hi ye topic banaya hoga. BTW, hows the E6 doing?

[saurabhpatel]

Yes. It also has the morphing keypad like E8

[yogi7272]

according to mobile-review .. it has the best 5mp cam now .. even better than n82 ..which i think is cool specially coming from moto camp ..

[praka123]

well ,motorola is yet to release it india.this may have saved them

[cooldudie3]

Looks like Moto is back from the dead

[dreamcatcher]

let this phone release first.LOL.

If it releases in September its the beginning of the nd for MOTO coz the C905 debuts at the same time.

[yogi7272]

just like c905 .. moto is also coming with 8mp one .. and dont be surprised if it outperforms the c905..

[dreamcatcher]

^^^has it been announced??Let the phone be announced before jumping onto conclusions.The C905 has an exmor sensor which is used in DSLRs and it is devoloped by SE japan. Let hey release their 5 mp first.

[praka123]

any phones commonly available in indian market do you find "made in japan" I am yet to see

[dreamcatcher]

^^^Se has their manufacturing units at china and sweden.So obviously it will be made in china. I meant the R&D is done by japan SE.

[krazzy]

The keys on the ZN5 are mechanical keys and not virtual ones like on E8.

[m-jeri]

@dream...

yaar..thers a limit....

Hell yeah..this phone could beat the knickers out of c9**...let them both come to the
shop before jumping to conclusions...Goliath have fallen before..it could again....
and dont underestimate kodak....

evryone knows in photo dept kodak beats cybershot...even the cybershots makers know that..just look at the product placing....

and even not..just go to a local photo booth and ask them which kodak or sony....

[yogi7272]

one thing is for sure ...

zn5 is ahead of competition in 5mp cam arena ..that means ahead of k850i too.. now how abt it .. moto cam phone outperforming k850i

@amd- u want to compare c905 to n82 .. wow! great .. comparing a 8mp phone to 5mp .. i have a feeling that moto 8mp phone will rock too..

here is zn5 review .

I will kill you if you call me a fanboy again.

LOL.Kodak beats SONY??? Yea right. And horses fly

kodak did during KB10 times, but with SLRS,DSLRS and XSLRS SONY rules. Check out the sale figures in digicams worldwide.

N82 and the C905 dont even compare.The k850 with the latter firmware takes better pics which you wont believe. C905 is in a different league altogether.

WHAT?????????????????????????

sony rules in cam dept.....boy get your facts straight..no pro photgrapher have a sony as their main anywhere i have read..check anywhere..unless they are paid....

try using google for market shares and then speaks..sony is just in point and shoot category..just look up the cam share in india..call some shops...please i know this very well...

photgraphy is my only hobby..and so dont even argue with me....personally i am fr canon..nikon..fuji.....

so pleas...KODAK is BIG in cam than SONY....

kodak is a CAM company..not a consumer elc company....

[dreamcatcher]

^^whatever. But sony sells muchmore than kodak. Kodak has virtually no say in the asian market. Beng American, it is outsold by Canon in the US, Fuji, Nikon and Sony in Asia and Europe. If moto wouldnt have come out with their kodak thing, i hardly would have remembered the company anyway.Admit it, kodak was a biggo a few years back, not now.

til 2005 it was one of the most sought after imaging companies

[m-jeri]

^^...

u know nothing about this..so dont bother replying..kodak is still a big name and it will be..sony is just the amateur one their... just try the no of IP's both registered in that field...enough said..

people in photgraphy still remeber and say kodak everyday...sony is big in japan...but there too other players slaughter them..

just go to akihabara in japan and ask around..i say this coz i bought my nikon d40 from there...

[dreamcatcher]

Damn!!! thers no site listing the market share of these companies. You get it this time.

[girish.g]

wtf from zn5 to digital cameras this thread is too offtopic

[Hitboxx]

Now shut it all, no more fighting, just posted a little info about a upcoming product and the big guns here started using their big brains! Wait for the product launch and then we can discuss!
