Nokia 808 PureView review

The Nokia 808 PureView is the best cameraphone ever made. It is the true successor of Nokia N8. It is breaking new ground with its 41 Megapixel camera. It i is captivating because of one feature, and one feature alone: the on-board 41-megapixel camera.Most highest-end smartphones, including Apple’s iPhone 4s, Samsung’s Galaxy S3, and HTC’s One x, have 8-megapixel cameras. Compared to those cameras, a 41-megapixel camera sensor seems totally over-the-top and unnecessary. But what Nokia has developed with its homegrown PureView imaging technology is, by far, the best camera I’ve seen on a smartphone. It’s actually a pretty terrible phone with an outstanding camera. You should only consider buying the 808 PureView if you really love mobile phone photography. Another advantage is lossless zoom, because you are coming from a 41 MP sensor, there is no need of the useless digital zoom that ruins pictures without fail. The supersized 41-megapixel sensor, Carl Zeiss optics, a Xenon flash, and the phone’s loudspeaker

Nokia’s PureView camera technology has been in the works for over 5 years, which is plain to see in the 808 handset’s design. Whereas a 13.9mm thick phone may have been considered slim in 2007, that profile is decidedly plump by modern standards, leading Nokia to taper off everything that doesn’t need it and resulting in the abnormally shaped device you see before you. There’s a 4-inch AMOLED display, sat behind a Gorilla Glass screen. It’s only a 640×360 pixel screen, so if you’re used to an iPhone’s Retina display, you’ll be sorely disappointed. It’s an unfortunate drawback considering the device is centered around digital imaging.The 4-inch AMOLED display on the 808 is of the non-Pentile variety and doesn’t suffer from the same blue tinging when viewed from the side as you’ll find on Samsung panels.

The camera button and the volume rocker that sits above it are easy to find and operate.The 808 PureView is no shining example of industrial design. With its giant camera protruding awkwardly from the back of the shell. As with the rest of the 808 PureView hardware design, it works smoothly and cleanly. Micro sim, Micro SD, Micro USB,Micro HDMI packed.

CAMERA

The Pureview offers 3, 5, 8 and 38 megapixel shooting options the highest resolution photo you can take is a 38-megapixel photo at 4:3 aspect ratio in full-resolution sensor mode. The way the PureView technology works is that it uses pixel oversampling, essentially packing up to seven pixels worth of data into one pixel area. The results? Sharp, clear images with little to no noise. Video comes in at 1080p and is as excellent as the peerless, noise-free pictures. There’s even an excellent microphone, which Nokia calls Rich Recording.

Now here is the super quality of 808 PureView Camera
