Pureview 808 NOKIA 41 Megapixel Camera Phone

Nokia always makes good use of Carl Zeiss lenses, but the 41-megapixel camera on the Nokia 808 Pure View can shoot 7728 x 5354 photos in 16:9 format, or if you prefer 4:3, in 7152 x 536, which all is completely amazing and ridiculous.

Nokia executive vice president for smart devices Jo Harlow said that Nokia’s mammoth megapixel smartphone, the Nokia 808 PureView, would usher in a revolution in smartphone imaging with its 41-megapixel sensor, Carl Zeiss optics and Nokia-developed pixel over-sampling technology.

At standard resolutions of up to 8 megapixels, the Nokia 808 PureView will be able to zoom in without loss of clarity, while at its highest resolution of 38 megapixels, the Nokia 808 would be able to capture an image, zoom, reframe, crop and resize to expose previously unseen levels of details.

"The price before taxes and subsidies is estimated at about 450 euros and it is expected to start rolling out in May," Harlow said.

Nokia also unveiled three new Asha mobile devices, aimed at over 100 markets globally, further blurring the line between feature phones and smartphones.
