I rather have single core smartphones which only quarter a second less responsive that multicore android phone that last for day than android multicore phone which barely last a half a day..android Needs a multicore processor to work, a battery sucking OS..

      Dr Nayyar Raza, 29 Feb 2012This megal pixel craze has no end and many common people do... morein pure view mode the phone will take very high quality 8/5 megapixel photos the phone will "make use of a technology called oversampling, which means that out of 7 adjacent pixels of information it captures, it outputs to memory a single resulting pixel, which hopefully, is picture perfect." the ultra high resolution allows user to lossless zoom got it.

                    This megal pixel craze has no end and many common people dont understand that too many pixels on a small sensor means degraded quality.
                    For camera, quality optics means a lot which is not possible on such small thin phones. A small 3-5 MP camera with enhanced quality optics, and enhanced image processing algorhythms with a large sensor, which will definitely mean a thick phone, will give you much better quality than 8-10 MP shooters on a thin mobile phone.
                    My 6MP DSLR takes 1 million times better pictures than a leading 12 MP cam phone. The reason is quality optics, large sensors etc etc.
                    No matter whether cell phone cams are 3 MP or 50 MP, they are just good enough for some causal shots, where you dont want to pixel peep or dont want images larger than a post card size to be printed, or to be posted on websites. Moreover they are just good enough for close or medium distance photography.
                    For some serious tele photography, there are no substitutes to quality digital cameras

                        [deleted post]wishful thinking lol, no one can break the law of physics you cant produce a quality image in a tiny sensor, ip4s sensor is 1/3.2" back side illuminated.

                            Anonymous, 29 Feb 2012you don't know that shipments is the same as sales? of cour... morePlease, dont exhibit your immature knowledge, if you are not aware, you should get educated.
                            And dont give such pathetic, wrong explanations for business terms, it'll be an insult to your Management professor.

                            Consider that a 'x' company produced 100 units & send them to stores in Q1, shipments for Q1 = 100.

                            consider only 40 units are sold at those stores during Q1, Sales for Q1 = 40.

                            Refer the definitions below as simple as one can understand.

                            Shipments refer to--the number of items a manufacturer or vendor sends to retail outlets.

                            Sales refers to --the actual number of items purchased by customers,not every item shipped to a retail store is going to be sold to a customer.

                            Well, i dont blame your knowledge & udnerstanding, the sooner i learnt that you are a NOKIA FANBOY, i can take it. lol

                              This phone only takes maximally
                              8 MP wide (16) not a 41 MP its a
                              41 MP sensor and this is the
                              biggest advantage on it which is
                              incorrect
                              In Nokia sheet it said "7152 x
                              5368" when you divide it on 2 it
                              gives you 3500 (8MP)X2 so its a
                              8MPX2 actually its not a 41MP.
                              Nokia uses a tricky
                              advertisement.
                              And i checked video sample for
                              this device it lags in night even
                              my old Galaxy S doesn't lag in
                              dark like that!

                                Shail, 29 Feb 2012No use....will give more Hanging problem in Nokia Pure view... moreIts Symbian not buggy Android to run on 1GB RAM soon 1GB will become minimum requirement for Android OS, Symbian can run smoothly even on 256MB RAM, can't you see how efficient Symbian is it can do 1080p video on a single core processor can you name any other phone which can do this using single core processor
