Nokia 808 PureView blind test: The sum of all pixels

14 June 2012
The Nokia 808 PureView has finally landed in swirling storms of hype. And of course, it wasn't given a chance to catch a breath. We didn't meet it empty-handed either. We had a finger on the shutter of some mean cameraphones and an EVIL digicam...

If you choose to disagree with it, at least state one reason why you think it is not a smart phone?
Symbian Belle is a smart phone OS.

          I think the images with the letter "B" are those of the Nokia 808.....most definitely. And those of E and F shoild probally be of the N8 and OlympusDigiCam. That's my verdict

                      Next time use proper settings for all the cameras.

                          It will be really interesting to see same devices under low light and without flash conditions. Please consider this proposal, lot of readers would like to see such test.

                              Nokia 808 PV (and Symbian S60 phones in general) IS a smartphone, albeit not necessarily the best spec'd one by today's standards. (In fact S60 pretty much started it all back in the day.)

                              Personally I don't even have a touch-screen phone, I have a candybar S60 phone (Nokia C5), and find it sufficient for my needs right now. In fact I'm not sure why would I even want a touch-screen phone..

                                The raw files sentence is just parroting

                                  Treat this 41MP image sensor cameraphone with a dual or quad core processor and 1 or 2GB RAM. Then, without a question I'll get a one for it. That is my standard of getting a smartphone. Dear Nokia, take my suggestion and you'll reign the mobile arena again.
