Nokia's 41 megapixel camera phone.

Nokia's 41 megapixel camera phone. After about a month, it is now set to hit the Indian market. Before the launch though, the company invited a few reviewers to experience its latest gadget.

The 808 PureView is powered by a 1.3 GHz CPU, and has 512 MB of RAM. The handset's 4" AMOLED screen has pixel dimensions of 640x360. It include 16 GB of internal memory, expandable microSD card slot, HDMI out with Dolby Digital Plus support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, USB OTG (On-the-Go), 3.5 mm jack that doubles up as a TV-out port, GPS, FM-transmitter, FM radio, GPS, and an NFC chip. The phone is based on Nokia Belle Feature Pack 1, which is similar to what we've seen on the Nokia 701.

The phone sports a 41 MP sensor, the resulting images contain unbelievable amount of details. With a seriously big sensor, coupled with some pixel oversampling wizardry, you can zoom up to 3x without losing any quality. This is something you don't really expect out of a pocket gadget.

Coming to the video recording, the phone can record 1080p videos effortlessly. According to the manufacturer, this is possible thanks to the companion core of the processor. I'm guessing it's more like a GPU that is specialized to handle the camera algorithms. At 1080p, the 808 PureView supports 4x lossless zoom, 6x in 720p, and 12x in 360p.
 
 The handset is expected to release in a month or two, and will probably priced at around EUR 450 (approx Rs 30,000).
