Thoughts on the Nokia 808 PureView

post thumbnail

I’ve always been a fan of Nokia’s cameraphones because it meant carrying one device instead of a point-and-shoot camera AND a phone. In regards to imaging, my favorites were the Nokia N93, N82, N86 8MP, and the N8. Nokia recently announced the 808 PureView which is going to be Nokia’s best imaging phone yet. I’ve played with the device at Mobile World Congress and was impressed especially with the technology behind it. There’s just one problem. It’s not a Windows Phone device.

This gives the Nokia 808 the ability to zoom without loss of clarity and capture pixels of information, condensing into one pixel for the sharpest images imaginable.

Here’s an alleged photo of the Nokia 801, a Nokia Belle phone, according to SmartPhoneGeeks and mobile insider Eldar Murtazin. I am very skeptic about this rumor, but I think it’s worth sharing and discussing. It looks a lot like the Nokia Lumia 900 and 800 with the unibody polycarbonate material. Specs after the jump.
