Debuting at MWC 2012, Nokia's new 41-megapixel camera touting smartphone the Nokia 808 PureView has been dated and priced for launch
Capturing headlines for its staggering 41-megapixel camera inclusion, the 808 PureView was unveiled with no official word from Nokia regarding a release date or pricing information but has since hit online retailers ahead of launch in a matter of months.
Nokia 808 PureView UK Release Date and Price
Although not yet confirmed by Nokia, online retailer Unlocked Mobiles has made the latest Finnish camera phone available for pre-order in the UK with a Nokia 808 PureView UK release date tipped for April 23rd.
Listed as a SIM-free device with subsidising networks yet to be announced, the online handset outlet has posted the newly unveiled device with a premium price tag comparable to that of its Windows Phone touting counterpart the Nokia Lumia 800 as a Nokia 808 PureView price is set at £464.98.
Nokia 808 PureView Specs
Boasting a 4-inch high-resolution screen the 808 PureView is powered by a 1.3GHz single-core processor with 512MB of RAM and 16GB of storage landing to provide ample space for all those high-res images.
The handset’s party piece, however, is undoubtedly its 41-megapixel camera with the Nokia 808 PureView set to utilise some rather clever sub-pixel wizardry in order to squeeze a 41-megapixel resolution into the sensor’s 16:9 ratio. Further bolstering the 808’s snapper, 1080p Full HD video recording features alongside 4x lossless zoom.
Dolby Headphones technology is also on the 808 PureView’s hit list providing videos with audio as strong as the image quality as Nokia's Rich Recording Mic technology means that videos will also pick up flawlesss sound.
