Nokia 808 PureView - 41 Megapixel Camera - Review


Nokia has used Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona to out a cameraphone to rival all cameraphones - the Nokia 808 PureView offers a whopping 41-megapixel sensor.

While it's not going to win any awards for being the skinniest phone on the market, the tech under the hood of the 808 PureView is quite something. It's the first phone to feature Nokia's new PureView imaging technologies, which packages high-res sensors and excellent Carl Zeiss optics for a high-end imaging experience on your phone.


This PureView technology will enable you to shoot in two modes - standard resolution at up to eight megapixels and high resolution at up to 38 megapixels. In standard res you'll be able to zoom in before taking a shot without any loss of clarity. In high-res, you can capture your image, then zoom and crop later without missing a single detail.

As well as high quality stills, the 808 PureView also offers full HD 1080p video recording and debuts Nokia's Rich Recording tech. This means you can record CD-like sound quality previously only possible with an external microphone.


The Nokia PureView 808 will also feature Dolby Headphone technology, transforming any stereo content into a "personal surround sound experience" through your headphones. It'll also offer Dolby Digital Plus for 5.1 channel surround sound playback.


The Nokia 808 PureView has a UK release date of May 2012, with UK pricing to be confirmed.
