Nokia 808 PureView review: Photo Finnish

22 June 2012
The Nokia 808 PureView is the best cameraphone ever made. End of story. Now, how do you proceed from there? And why is this particular phone so hard to write about? How about because a picture is worth a thousand words and we just had a...

since when did android and iPhone learned to record 1080p videos? That's when they acquired dual cores, they only record up to 720p when they have single core. But nokia made full HD recording even on one core, that's how amazing nokia is . Nokia is just struggling at the moment but it will definitely return as king. Nokia, of all oem's knows how this industry works. And nokia will surely figure this out soon. And i'll stand by them till that time comes, i know i wont be waiting long.

              How could a 4.0 inch screen is larger than 4.8 inch screen?
              Because I want it to be.

                  Sebakamelot, 26 Jun 2012Minimal focus distance 20 cm??? what a dissapointment. bye... moreThat disappointed me also, but think about that zoom. You can zoom to over two times in 8 MP mode and it gives you very sharp 8 MP pic that is comparable to under 10 cm macro. In 5 MP it is about 7 cm, 3 MP almost 5 cm. Or you can take full res photo and crop there the area you want still getting sharp photos.

                            I prefer my Nokias made in Finland....especially if I'm going to pay $700 for one.

                              The link you showed in you previous comment where 808 was compared to iPhone 4S, that photo isn't taken by PV at all or it was at least modified to look as worse as possible, we have seen its capabilities and that photo has nothing to do with it. Stop comparing 808's camera to other cameraphones, it is in a completely other level. It's like comparing a cheap P&S with a top DSLR...
                              In GSMarena's blind test, only blind fanboys didn't see that picture E was the best.

                                we see the color of the sky in fact is Light blue not dark blue like 808
                                i see that sgs3 more realistic than the others

                                  BJD, 25 Jun 2012Excuse me. look at how many comments the blind test had... moreYes, it really had very much comments. That was because of the voting. They asked to tell what's the best of them so almost everyone who red it replied.

                                  Now, there‘s one interesting thing. That new about Nokia air shows an interesting OS(Carla?). IF it is true it could be interesting to see it on 808. Won't probably buy but if there comes phone with smaller PureView sensor and that OS it would be on the list for my next phone in the future. Looks gorgeous.

                                      But I do not suggest you look at the photos, the iPhone image just pathetic relative to Nokia 808 PureView .

                                        Full-sized images, not this poor picture you show.
