     The Finnish phone manufacturers have stunned everyone when it introduced the Nokia 808 Pureview, the phone which packs 41 MP camera! It works on Symbian Belle operating system. It also comes with 1.3 GHz processor and has 512 MB RAM. It has a 4” AMOLED capacitive touch screen. Since now high end phones come with a maximum of 12 MP camera but Nokia has made a revolution by introducing 808 pureview. The high megapixel count doesn’t necessarily produce good pictures. But Nokia with its over sampling technology has teamed with Carl Zeiss lens to produce sharp pictures and it looks very good even in low light. Even with all these Nokia also found its way to save the image in compact file size so that sharing becomes easy. But with all these Nokia could have offered a resolution higher than 360 x 640 which now it offers. The camera lens protrudes slightly and thus it is not so slim but feels very comfortable in hands with the rubber finish.

         Nokia 808 also has a good performance with its 1.3 GHz processor and doesn’t show any considerable lag. But as we all know Belle OS doesn’t provide customization as we get in android OS and number of apps is also less. You will feel irritating once you try to customize the menu and all. However you can easily say that this phone has got the best camera in any phone in the market. The camera is definitely mind blowing and shoots pictures like in a digital camera. Overall it is not very good as an entry level SLR camera but it is far ahead of any other camera phone. Dolby sound system in 808 pureview is also not as good as the beats audio in HTC One X which is in the same price range. Considering its price, this phone is just not worth buying for its camera alone. You will get many other good digital cameras lower than this price if you want same camera quality. All in all 808 pureview is the most modern innovative phone in the mobile camera category.
