Nokia
recently released its revolutionary 808 PureView, Nokia’s first smartphone to
include its award winning PureView technology. The 808 PureView comes with a 41
MP sensor with Carl Zeiss optics, which makes it the best device the smartphone
imaging industry can offer right now. This phone is one big step towards the
smartphone imaging revolution, with more and more companies now trying to
provide the customers with a better imaging experience in a smartphone than
most high-end cameras.
After
its launch, the 808 PureView has won the Best Mobile award at the prestigious
Mobile World Congress, 2012, as well as the Best Imaging Innovation award from
TIPA (Technical Image Press Association) The 808n PureView comes with a single core, 1.3 Ghz processor, with 512
MB of RAM, running on the Symbian Belle platform. The screen is a 16:9 4” inch
AMOLED unit of nHD (640 x 360)
resolution, covered by the sturdy Corning Gorilla Glass. The phone is only
available on Amazon UK and Amazon US right now, but a worldwide release is
expected.
As Samsung recently overtook Nokia in terms of
worldwide smartphones’ sales, it can be safe to say that Nokia is planning to
take the market by storm. The PureView technology looks promising, and Nokia
plans to release more smartphones based on it .For the photographers too, it’s
not really a bad deal either. Even though it is launched at a steep price of
500$, the 41 MP sensor makes sure that resolution will not be a problem, and
add the latest imaging processing apps from the OVI store, and we might be
looking at the best imaging oriented phone till date. Its performance can only
be fully judged after its worldwide release, but it sure looks very promising
on paper.
