Nokia 808 PureView Arrives on Shelves in May

Today, Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia announced that its Nokia 808 PureView smartphone would arrive on shelves starting this month. 

The handset, the first one to arrive on shelves with Nokia's award-winning PureView technology packed inside, will be launched on shelves in India and Russia initially. 

The mobile phone brings along an impressive imaging experience, putting together high-performance sensors, exclusive Carl Zeiss optics, and Nokia developed imaging algorithms. 

Nokia 808 PureView was made official in February at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and received the Best Mobile Device award at the event, along with the Best Imaging Innovation for 2012 title from the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA).

“PureView has completely raised the bar on imaging performance for the whole smartphone industry - and Nokia is not stopping here,” said Jo Harlow, head of smart devices at Nokia.

“We're going to carry on developing PureView for our future smartphones in ways that will again revolutionize the imaging experience.”

The main selling point of this device is its high-resolution 41 megapixel sensor, which delivers great imaging performance capabilities. 

Additionally, the device will also provide users with various options for fast and easy sharing of images via email, MMS, or social networks. 

“The Nokia 808 PureView makes it possible for anyone to capture professional looking images in any conditions,” the mobile phone maker notes. 

At the same time, the handset is capable of recording videos in full HD resolution, being the first in the world to use Nokia Rich Recording. 

The technology enables audio recording at CD-like levels of quality, a feature that was previously possible only through the use of external microphones. 

“The Nokia 808 PureView also features exclusive Dolby Headphone technology, transforming stereo content into a personal surround sound experience over any headphones and Dolby Digital Plus for 5.1 channel surround sound playback,” the Finnish handset vendor continues.
