Lumia has hdmi function. Why Not the N9? Is it possible?

Last edited by johnsmith1as1; 2012-05-13 at 20:58. Reason: Lumia doesn't have hdmi slot- silly me... But Nokia N8 does even though much crapper hardware than N9

You mean HDMI out of microUSB, MHL?

Well, why there is no dual-core CPU in N9, although it was announced almost 1 year after Samsung Galaxy S2 was announced?

Why N9 has 1.4 Ghz CPU and Lumia has 1.5 Ghz CPU?

The answer to those, is Microsoft and Elop.
Full potential of Maemo/Meego was not even wanted to be demonstrated. N9 is about absolute minimum what was required in the Meego-contract between Intel and Nokia.

Seems like folks thought composite out of the N9 was good enough. In this HD world, it wasn't. It was barely acceptable on the N900.

Because Nokia chose that chipset as part of their step 5 of 5 in regards to Maemo. Blaming Microsoft is easy, but that decision existed before Elop. He'd rather have it killed.

N9 has a 1.0ghz CPU. Lumia 900 has 1.4ghz.

The answer to those, is Microsoft and Elop.
Maemo was in motion... no, Maemo and MeeGo was in motion before Elop was put in place. Blame the right people.

No proof of a contractual agreement exists that Nokia had to produce a product. Tons of other players that were in the MeeGo licensees and developers have not produced anything.

composite is more than enough in a device that doesnt properly play even some 720p videos....

Therein lies another issue.

Even mid-tier level phones can output via HDMI/720p and can play 720p. What I don't get though, the N9's SoC should be more than capable of playing that level of video without issues.

Not the case.

So two questions arise
(I have not purchased an N9 yet but am planning too)

So the Nokia n9 defiantly cannot play hd movies (even without possible software mod)?

Also so the ability to output to hd is not going to happen then?
(As I thought some clever coder would be able to mod the OS like the community updates for the Nokia n900)

Ah, it was even that much worse. Oh well, no surprise.

The N9 has 1GB RAM, the Lumia 900 a mere 512MB. IMO, nothing was a bigger show stopper on the N900 than insufficient RAM.

It's a phone and not a vacuum cleaner.

Get raspberry pi if you want hdmi mediaplayer for your TV.

Or Samsung Galaxy S2. You can get second hand for ~ 200 $/£/€ already. Install Cyanogen to it and forget Nokia. SGS2 has MHL.
