pulled out a surprise during its recent press conference as it
introduced a smartphone equipped with a 41-megapixel camera. Yes, 41
megapixels! Whether or not you are a believer of the megapixel myth,
cameras such as this in a small mobile device certain catches our
attention. What is even more shocking is that the Nokia 808 PureView runs on Symbian Belle OS. Windows Phone gets no love here. The 808 PureView features a 1.3GHz single-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 4-inch AMOLED display, and a curved Gorilla Glass for a scratch-proof screen. The camera, meanwhile, comes equipped with Carl Zeiss lens and can record videos in 1080p quality. Despite the 41-megapixel sensor, the camera can only capture images up to 38 megapixels, but we cannot imaging people wanting to store photos that large. Nevertheless, the large-megapixel sensor would enable to device to zoom up to 3x without sacrificing the quality. The Nokia PureView 808 will hit Europe in the second quarter of 2012 for about 450 euros (US$603.45). No official announcement yet on whether this will land North American shores. | |
