Nokia 808 PureView With 41 MP Camera | Photos and Price

Nokia PureView tease from a few days ago? Well, suddenly it all makes
sense. We are indeed looking at an imaging flagship phone and a true
successor to the N8. It's called the 808 PureView and it's expected
to reach Europe in the next quarter for a price of 450 Euros. Before
we move on to its craziest feature -- the camera, of course! -- let's
run down the other key specs: The OS is Symbian Belle; the engine is
a 1.3GHz single-core chip; the display is 4-inches corner to corner
but its resolution is a Nokia-style 360 x 640 (nHD). There's 512MB
of RAM and 16GB of on-board storage that is thankfully expandable
via microSD. A Pentaband modem increases the chances of getting a
signal while globe-trotting, while data speeds will top out at plain
HSPA 14.4Mbps. Now that Carl Zeiss-lensed camera: it handles
continuous-focus 1080p, but is claimed to have an incredible sensor
resolution of over 41-megapixels when shooting stills -- or
34-megapixels for 16:9 images. It uses some clever interpolation
jiggery-pokery that condenses four or five pixels into one pixel,
to produce a smaller file size for the output image. It's expected
to arrive in May at a price of €450 and if you're curious, we've
got a gallery of hands-on images and video for your viewing pleasure.
Just follow the break for our first impressions.

Nokia has clarified to say that you are able to take true 38- and
35-megapixel photos with the 808 PureView. It's just that their
pixel-level quality will pretty much suck, with Nokia admitting that
it added those options as a sort of creative mode more than anything
else. To get the real quality, you'll want to benefit from the
oversampling technique and downsize to 3-, 5- or 8-megapixel shots.

The Nokia 808 PureView is expected to roll out in May for around US$605
