Nokia Announces 808 PureView SmartPhone with 41-Megapixel Camera - Offering Stills & 1080p HD Video with 4x Lossless Zoom
Nokia 808 PureView ushers in a revolution in smartphone imaging
Nokia sets a new industry standard
with the first in a range of high end experiences based on exclusive
Nokia PureView imaging technologies.
Barcelona, Spain - Nokia today ushered in a new era in high-end smartphone imaging with the Nokia 808 PureView.
This is the first smartphone to feature Nokia PureView imaging
technologies, bringing together high resolution sensors, exclusive Carl
Zeiss optics and Nokia developed algorithms, which will support new
high-end imaging experiences for future Nokia products.
The Nokia 808 PureView
features a large, high-resolution 41 megapixel sensor with
high-performance Carl Zeiss optics and new pixel oversampling
technology. At standard resolutions (2/3, 5 and 8 megapixels) this
means the ability to zoom without loss of clarity and capture seven
pixels of information, condensing into one pixel for the sharpest images
imaginable. At high-resolution (38 megapixel
maximum) it means the ability to capture an image, then zoom, reframe,
crop and resize afterwards to expose previously unseen levels of
details. With superior low-light performance and the ability to save in
compact file sizes for sharing in email, MMS, and on social networks,
the Nokia 808 PureView makes it possible for anyone to capture professional looking images in any conditions.
In
addition to superior still imaging technology, the Nokia 808 PureView,
also includes full HD 1080p video recording and playback with 4X
lossless zoom and the world's first use of Nokia Rich Recording. Rich
Recording enables audio recording at CD-like levels of quality,
previously only possible with 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.
"Nokia
PureView imaging technology sets a new industry standard by whatever
measure you use," said Jo Harlow, executive vice president of Nokia
Smart Devices. "People will inevitably focus on the 41 megapixel sensor,
but the real quantum leap is how the pixels are used to deliver
breath-taking image quality at any resolution and the freedom it
provides to choose the story you want to tell."
