The Nokia N97 Mini, announced in September 2009 and released two months later, is a refined and a slightly smaller version of the original Nokia N97. Nokia N97 Mini addressed many of its predecessor's shortcomings and criticisms, was well reviewed and went on to win several industry awards for the best handset.
Specifications Display The device has a 3.2-inch TFT resistive touchscreen with a resolution of 360 × 640 pixels and support for 16 million colors. It supports handwriting recognition.
Performance A 434 MHz ARM 11 processor powers the Nokia N97 mini and runs on Symbian 9.4 with Series 60 rel. 5 user interface. It has 128 MB RAM and 8 GB of internal storage, expandable via microSDHC cards.
Camera The rear camera is a 5-megapixel unit with Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, dual-LED flash, and a video light. It records video at 480p@30fps. The front camera is VGA resolution and supports VGA@15fps video recording.
Reviews were generally positive about the camera performance, but it was nowhere near the best-in-class at the time. Other Nokia phones were noted to have significantly better camera performance.
