Nokia 808 PureView Nokia managed to surprise everyone with the release of the 808 PureView - the ultimate cameraphone, largely thanks to the huge sensor, which the device features…
The Nokia 808 PureView is going to hit the market later this months and the Finns have decided, that it’s time to remind us the most important stuff about the device. After all, they have been working on the smartphone for 5 years and the PureView technology, which won the TIPA Best Imaging Innovation award, is going to become a vital part of the company’s future smartphones, especially the Lumia series.
To do so Nokia have published an 8 minute video, which has been shot entirely using the phone. The clip gives us information, through interviews, about the path from the initial idea – sketched on a napkin, to the final device. Throughout the years, Nokia had to develop their own photo sensor and the technologies, needed for its production, because the available ones turned out to be too limited for the company’s needs.
We first found out about the Nokia 808 PureView, a smartphone with a 41MP camera, which can’t be compared to anything seen on a phone up until now, at its debut in the beginning of this year. Back than the company announced, that its sales would begin this May and now they have confirmed this information. At first the device is going to be available in Russia and India – hardly a surprise, considering the popularity, which Symbian has on these markets and, of course, their sheer size.
We remind you that the Nokia 808 is the first ever smartphone to use Nokia’s new PureView technology, which won the award for innovation of the photography organisation TIPA. It relies on a huge sensor, special Carl Zeiss optics and complex algorithms and the result is frankly stunning. For instance, the phone is able to shoot Full HD video (despite the single-core processor) with 4x zoom without losing any of the quality – this is achieved with the usage of all of the available megapixels.

Along with the Nokia 808 PureView, the next major Symbian update was revealed. Surprisingly it’s not the Carla, as we thought it would, but rather “Belle Feature Pack 1” , so it’s a sort of update of the Belle update. Still, it features a lot of improvements for both personalisation and performance. The FP1 is going to be available for the 603, 700 and 701 in the recent future and it’s going to bring Dolby Headphone and Dolby Digital Plus support for the devices, providing a better quality of sound, when connecting your device to a home cinema or headphones.
The winners of this year’s Global Mobile Awards were announced a couple of day ago, but we had to wait a bit more for one of the most interesting awards – the Best New Mobile Handset, Device or Tablet at Mobile World Congress 2012. It’s not really a surprise, that the award, which has been chosen by a special group of experts and journalists, goes to the Nokia 808 PureView, a phone, which not only impressed everyone, but also literary changed both the camera-phone and camera industries with the innovative technologies it incorporates.
