Nokia-808-PureView[1]

The Nokia 808 Pureview smartphone is garnering a lot of attention. Not for its OS, not for its ergonomics, not for its price but for its camera. Nokia 808 Pureview sports an astonishing ground-breaking 41 Megapixel Camera Sensor which captures the image from 7 adjacent pixels and combine it into one.

Surely, the camera is the highlight of this phone. We, at ProGamist, are also focusing on its other aspects.

Still Camera

Nokia 808 Pureview has a colossal 41 Megapixel Camera but let us burst the bubble. The Nokia 808 Pureview doesn’t literally sport a 41 Megapixel camera. The camera uses the 41 Megapixel sensor to deliver a highly-detailed image of 5 Megapixel resolution with an amazing rate of noise deduction.

Overall the Nokia 808 PureView smartphone is a pinnacle of camera phones with a whooping 41MP camera which is its unique selling point. We can clearly see this phone dominating not only the camera phones arena but also the stand-alone digital cameras arena. Apart from camera, multimedia features are impressive but the software and processing power is not justifiable.
