The Nokia PureView 808 is a Symbian Belle based device and its key features is the monstrous 41 megapixel camera sensor which comes with various features and produces images in 5 megapixel resolution. The PureView technology uses pixel oversampling to condense information from seven pixels into one producing amazing image quality. The camera lets you snap 3MP, 5MP and 8MP photos and because they're saved in a new image format, you can zoom in those photos with little image quality degradation at any time after taking the photo.
The Nokia 808 PureView has a 4-inch AMOLED display with the rather lowly resolution of 360 x 640 pixels. Spiritually succeeding the Nokia N8, it runs Nokia Belle (previously known as Symbian) and it's centered around a 1.3 GHz processor. While this smartphone might technically revolve around that processor, what's got the public's imagination is actually the never-before-seen 41MP multi aspect camera sensor.
Capable of shooting full-resolution shots of up to 38 megapixels and utilizing the industry's first pixel oversampling technology for delivering vastly superior lower-resolution photos (5MP and 8MP), the Nokia 808 camera is a “quantum leap forward in camera phone performance,” as Nokia themselves put it. Another industry's first is the lossless digital zooming in less-than-maximum resolution shots and video.
The garnishes on this excellent dish are the Carl Zeiss lens, the xenon flash, a relatively large F2.4 aperture, the mechanical shutter coupled with a neutral density filter, and there's also, of course, Full HD video recording.

Nokia 808 PureView will come with Nokia Belle feature pack 1 operating system and Dolby Mobile Plus for 5.1 channel surround sound playback. Nokia has packed a 1400 mAh battery which promises 11 hours of battery life on Edge and 6.5 hours on 3G.
With the new PureView Pro imaging technology, the company has managed to use a technique of over-sampling for crystal-clear and noiseless 5 megapixel images. Imaging capability is further aided by the graphics processing unit (GPU), which uses a special algorithm to combine seven pixels into one better pixel. The camera also supports up to 4x digital zoom without compromising on quality. It captures full 1080p HD videos at 30 frames per second with up to 3x zoom; while for 720p HD resolution one can go up to 6x zoom.
