Nokia 808 PureView with 41MP camera announced!

magano po tong Nokia 808 Pureview d2 sa philippines?

To “Thanks but no thanks”; developer here, would I consider developing for symbian, big Yes of course!! 4 years is a long way to go right!? oh did I mention that what I have developed today on symbian, will live on to Nokia’s feature phones soon? not only that, my apps are compatible with Android and IOS & BB 10, and mind you it runs natively! and not just some phonegap/webified craps. oh and paid Apps is avaible here already with operator billing in fact. I surely am not disputing the shortcomings of symbian, but during these symbian’s last days (that’s next 4 years yet), like a dying star that shines so bright.. it’s been and will still be cash cow for me and for others.

While I agree with you that the hardware is very very impressive, the software leaves much to be desired. Symbian is a dying OS and support from Nokia will stop in 4 years. As an app developer, would you bother developing for an OS that will be gone in 4 years? For existing developers, they could go on and stop when Nokia calls time, but for those only beginning, you wouldn’t invest time and money on a platform that will cease to be supported in a few years.[/q]

It’s 4 years well spent for a smartphone. Much less I could say for Android and iOS devices, which has more or less 18 month life cycle until the next upgrade.

Nokia makes damn fine hardware, not much so for the software, but 100 REALLY useful apps over 100,000? Anytime.

Even if Nokia Anna/Belle/Carla/Dana is dead in the water, still it has a damn good camera, excellent I/O in ONE device, to sample:

1.) NFC;
2.) HDMI;
3.) 3.5″ output jack with AV out;
4.) DLNA through WIFI a/b/g/n;
5.) At least one (1) noise cancelling microphone;
6.) Beyond run-of-the-mill speakers, after all it has Dolby HD;
7.) Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP;
8.) FM transmitter
9.) Excellent AMOLED 4″ screen (probably made by Samsung, just like the Nokia N8)
10.) micro USB 2.0 chargeable port that supports USB On-The-Go (plug in any USB device, and the device will read/write/recognize it, e.g., USB flash drives).
11.) Xenon flash that is around 2x brighter than the ones in Nokia N8;
12.) LED video light for capturing video in low light or in total darkness.

Show me a device that can do all of these.

[q]In any gadget, it’s not about the hardware, nor is it the software, but how you can maximize the efficiency of the hardware with your existing software. It’s about the software utilizing as close to 100% as possible of the hardware. I had an N8 for 10 months but I sold it last month. As a PHONE it was excellent. It could maintain a good network connection and had very good voice quality compared to my SGS. It also had a superior camera, and audio quality was a match for SGS + voodoo sound, but that was it.[/q]

You are comparing a 2 year old product (Nokia N8 ca. 2010) to a new product (Nokia 808, 2012). Samsung Galaxy S I9000 surely kicks Nokia N8 in a lot of department, but when it comes to photography, well, you know which is the gold standard.

[q]The camera, I found, took forever to load that I ended up missing the shots I wanted to take. If you have kids (or pets), you would know what I mean about missed moments. So the superior camera was only useful for set pieces, not for capturing those “precious moments.” In the end, it didn’t matter if those moments were captured in 12MP or 5MP, as long as they were captured at all.[/q]

Again, you are CONDEMNING Nokia 808 for Nokia N8’s sins. Have you tried Nokia 808 for yourself? Why all this hullabaloo about Nokia 808 when clearly the camera of the 808 launches merely milliseconds from a locked screen? Watch the Youtube videos of the 808 before you rant about the camera launch and shoot to shoot interval time. We are talking about the 808 here, not the N8.

About your beloved SGS I9000, how long did it take for you to launch the camera app?

[q]Although a personal preference, I found the screen too tiny that I made a lot of mistakes when typing. The browser was god-awful which, I believe, everyone is in unanimous agreement. Belle browser was a marked improvement over stock ^3, but it still paled in comparison to its competitors. Paid apps aren’t available in the Philippines. I couldn’t find a decent audiobook player (MortPlayer on android is still the best for any platform). And it takes them forever to roll out updates. I wouldn’t mind if it shipped with a usable OS. But symbian^3 out of the box was barely usable outside of texting, phone calls and music. Anna made the phone usable, and Belle was what it should have been. But before Belle was even rolled out, along came Ice Cream Sandwich. So I sold my N8 and SGS and bought a galaxy nexus.[/q]

Again, you are ranting about Nokia N8. This is not about Nokia N8. This is about Nokia 808. Get your facts straight or GTFO!

Show me a DSLR which has a 1920×1080 FULL HD screen in 4″!

It’s a Nokia Belle hardware limitation for the measly 360×640 screen. Either love it or hate it.

[q]All in all, my experience with the N8 and, more importantly, symbian was disappointing. So much so that I have no interest in ever trying symbian again. However, I am not closing the door on Nokia as a hardware manufacturer. They make great phones, and with windows on board, I will seriously look at what they have to offer when the time comes to retire my current phone.[/q]

Nokia will not share this PureView technology as of the moment. I don’t know if that even extends with their Microsoft phone offering. As it is, we are talking about Nokia 808 here, not your much-hated Nokia N8 or anything else.

If you hate your Nokia N8 so much, go create a blog about it or go to some sites and forums about your Nokia N8 and blast away all you can!

GET YOUR FACT STRAIGHT! THIS IS ALL ABOUT NOKIA 808 PUREVIEW, NOT NOKIA N8, NOT NOKIA ET AL!

Too bad it’s Symbian then

ganun din sa akin yung last page lang na access

what a stupid product. embrace the android nokia [/quote]

What a stupid comment, Android fanboy. Y u no get camera lovin’ from your Android momma? :D

Stick in your bunghole, fanboy.

xenon flash din po ang N8 ko.

to the doubters please check this blogs of the camera experts(DPREVIEW). They too picked the noise and most are quite impressed with the technology. Some even ask why the camera biggies didn’t thought of this when this is their own game.

hahaha.. malamang mag welga ang mga taong mansanas nito…pangit daw specs tsaka ndi tunay na 41 mega pixels ang cam….sa n8 palang taob na ang cam sa iphone 4s

ah oh, it’s almost perfect for the spec except it’s a single-core unit? hmmm

this would be a crap just like the comments section of this blog

before you say that 41 MP is just a gimmick, read this first:

http://mynokiablog.com/2012/02/27/the-story-and-secrets-behind-the-nokia-808-pureview-everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-pureview/

To those asking why didn’t up the display resolution? it’s because there are way to many symbian apps that rely on that dimension. the last thing nokia needs is resolution fragmentation on an exiting OS.

lol, 41mp for a phone cam? playin the mp game too much nokia?

It has a Xenon flash as well as an LED video light.

I’ll just wait and see…

how’s the thickness sir abe? ilan ang dimension nito?

Hey genius! It’s not really 41MP image size but 5Mp x 8 oversampling. Meaning to say, a better looking 5MP picture than any other 5MP picture taken by a point and shoot or a camera phone. There are lots of 8Mp and 12MP camera phones out their with sucky quality pictures. Next time, aim before shooting, you just might shoot yourself, LOL!

True, but not in Nokia 808’s case.

The camera sensor takes 41mp but the resulting photo is reduced to 8mp/5mp which means high quality images with “zero noise”.

It has Xenon+Led flash combo. Led flash for video recording.

I’m sure kung Apple ang gagawa niyan sa iPhone, mapapamura kayo sa tuwa. Pero dahil Nokia ito, hahanapan niyo talaga ng something negative.

@patricia: cameraphone, as in phone na may camera. bakit camera o phone lang nasa choices mo? haha!

It’s a camera with a built-in phone. I agree that higher MP doesn’t mean better picture quality. The specs are ok but the screen…?? Why, oh, why??

ano ba talaga ang gusto natin? phone or camera? and why would you want a 41MP camera on a phone? even on a dslr you won’t even need that.

Here’s what I’ve read from engadget: “…Now that Carl Zeiss-lensed camera: it handles continuous-focus 1080p, but is claimed to have an incredible sensor resolution of over 41-megapixels when shooting stills — or 34-megapixels for 16:9 images. It’s achieved by some clever sub-pixel interpolation jiggery-pokery that basically entails five pixels being merged into one, but we’ll dig deeper very soon…”

Now that’s new!

Dude! Symbian Apps doesn’t need dual core to run blazingly fast!

Now, I want to have this one. :)

Of course it will not take the full 41 megapixels. it just oversamples — taking the image data from seven neighboring pixels and consolidating it into one pixel’s worth — and generates pictures roughly 5 megapixels in size. -theverge

Read it from mashable.. Im still n0t impressed with the specs beside the m0nster 41 megapixels.. They should improve the processor and the display.. Lo0king forward for the full review sir.. :)

Wow… Now this is tempting.

What would be the price? That’s astonishing!
