While it may lack the advanced image processing capabiltes of today's phones, that 1/1.2" 41MP sensor is absolutely no joke.
I mean, look at this photo:

And this:

Both were taken on the 808 (found these pics on dpreview). They look so high quality and so professionally shot for a phone in 2012.

Unfortunately, this was the last symbian phone ever made.

Bought this in 2013, the first Pureview. Phenomenal 41MP camera with xenon flash. All the bells and whistles. "The Last Symbian". I held on to it for 11 years. Some scratches here and there, but still working perfectly, nothing broken. Then HMD announced that they will stop using the Nokia brand. So I bought the last Pureview, Nokia X30. One would think that in 11 years, the camera technology would have progressed far and beyond from its early beginnings. But no. The X30 is better, yes, but not 11 years better. As their last phone legacy, HMD/Nokia should have made a proper re-release of this dream phone. Nevertheless: thank you Nokia, for all these years.

Does anyone know if there is any application that can further reduce the screen brightness beyond what is allowed by default?

Angga, 31 Oct 2023This phone is far ahead the competition at that time.
I re... moreAll that from a phone with 1.3ghz single core processor and 512mb ram
IOS and Android.... Go f$#k yourselves....
We're all being ripped off by incremental updates that implement planned obsolescence, remove features then bring them back as "innovation", and continue to give us form over functionality (glass sandwiches with titanium is not improving the real world strength).

NeonHD, 06 Oct 2023I mainly grew up with modern smartphones, but I am trying t... moreI couldn't afford to upgrade my n8 to this badboy at the time. Eventually I went to Sony z3 as symbian was dead by my 2014 upgrade.
I eventually got an unopened Latin American version (I'm in Aus) in the box in 2015 & loved every minute using it as a daily driver for about 18 months.
It survived about 10 - 15 of the same waist height & above drops that killed my Sony & 1 phone since & the 808 is still working fine.
I just did a clean install of cfw mohican & tried tienda sisstore to download the maps but the website is dead.
Does anyone know where to find off-line maps anywhere?

I re... moreMan, this makes me want to own one just as a tiny point-and-shoot camera.
And it probably doesn't have all the ugly post-processing that most modern smartphones have.

Anonymous, 16 Sep 2022it would be great if someone could port the PureView camera... moreThat's pretty much not possible, Android and Symbian are different to each other

I remember that I still can't quite comprehend when this phone's camera stated as 41 MP because most of the phones at that time is only at 5 or 8 MP.
Video zoom quality also unmatchable.
This phone is legend.

I mainly grew up with modern smartphones, but I am trying to imagine what it was like when this came out.
I could imagine this was quite an advanced and innovative phone at the time. Very refreshing and different from the typical 2012 slabs, both looks and spec-wise.
Must feel nice owning one at the time, having your hands on what would be the future of all smartphone camera technology (large MP sensors that rely on pixel binning).
P.S. It's a treat to go back and read the first comments on this page back in 2012.
