What's the difference between innovation and an upgrade? Real innovation is when you do something nobody has done before you, that was deemed impossible or not worth pursuing. In the Nokia 808 PureView , which has been conceived and tweaked in Nokia's R&D labs for the last five years we have these...

Groundbreaking PureView camera technology; Good sunlight visibility; Excellent Nokia Rich Recording audio; Free offline voice-guided navigation in most countries

Symbian lacks in apps; browsing and user-friendliness; Low screen pixel density; Chunky and hefty design

I've purchased the Nokia 808 PureView mainly for photography purposes and when I received it I was surprised by other features of this phone as well. The camera quality is excellent for a smartphone like this.

Back in the good old days when Nokia was still at the top of the chain, one of the strongest features of their flagship devices is its camera. Earlier this year, the Finnish company has once again shocked the mobile world with the release of the Nokia PureView 808 with its 41MP image sensor.

I've been using the Pureview 808 for about six weeks. In that time I've taken over a 1300 exposures. Here is what I love and what I don't love.

I absolutely love this phone! It fits my needs to a T - although my needs may not be the same as yours. For instance, I'm not a social butterfly and don't do Facebook or Twitter. What I do love about this phone is the amazing camera and video capabilities, music playback/streaming abilities, and...

Nokia had revolutionized the mobile camera market with the launch of the 5.0 megapixel N95 the way back in 2007. Now, after almost five years, the brand tries to do the same with the new 41.0-megapixel sensor toting 808 PureView . The PureView comes with some very decent specs.

The Nokia 808 PureView is quite simply, in a class of its own when it comes to its photographic abilties. The highest-resolution capture mode (the 38MP figure that grabbed the headlines when it was released) is only part of the story. PureView oversampling means that the 808 gives truly excellent image quality in its 3, 5 and 8MP capture modes, and we love the amount of manual control over shooting parameters. The 808 is let down by less than perfect color and white balance, and occasional focus issues.

Excellent detail resolution in all modes; Very good image quality - detailed, colorful JPEGs; Impressive photographic feature set - controllable ISO, WB, scene modes et al; Generally reliable AF and metering; Automatic white balance works well in all but the trickiest of light; PureView allows 'zoom' without penalty in image quality; Excellent video quality (and sound);

Highlight clipping problematic in scenes with wide tonal range; No automatic HDR/dynamic range expansion function (but bracketing is available); Metering can be rather wayward in bright light; On-screen histogram only available while exposure compensation dialog is open; Interface somewhat dense in 'creative' mode; Obscure on-screen icons for ND filter and white balance in creative mode; On-screen ISO indication just shows 'M' when any setting other than Auto is selected; Non-optical 'zooming' doesn't allow control over depth of field; No image stabilization in still capture mode; Red-eye can be an issue in flash shots (but red-eye reduction works well);

Tweet Nokia delivers the successor to the N8 smartphone , the venerable 808 PureView . Can it set a new camera phone benchmark like its predecessors managed to do? Although the snapper's tech might be novel, the design of this device is pretty conventional, measuring in at a chubby 13.9 mm and bulky...

Great camera; good selection of pre-installed applications; excellent battery life if you are not in the business of snapping a great many photos

Outdated OS experience; chubby device; not the highest display resolution; and single-core CPU on R8 000 device

The 808 Pureview: In typical Nokia style of these days, it's excellent quality. Design is excellent and ergonomics is excellent. Call quality is impeccable and so is cellular reception. The major selling point, the 41MP camera, is quite unmatched compared to all other camera phones.
