NOKIA HAS ANNOUNCED A NEW SMARTPHONE, THE 808 PUREVIEW, WHICH HAS AN UNPRECEDENTED 41-MEGAPIXEL CAMERA AND IS EXPECTED TO LAUNCH IN EUROPE IN MAY.

The €450 device, however, which was announced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, runs on software that Nokia is phasing out in favour of Windows Phone.
Mary McDowell, the firm’s executive vice president for mobile phones, said that the firm’s engineers had been working on the product “for years”.
She said it was “natural” to assume that its technology would be used in other Nokia products in the future, although she declined to be drawn specifically on whether it was “when or if” the company would produce a Windows Phone with such imaging capabilities.
At 41mp, the phone is able to shoot images that Nokia claims can be printed at “poster size”. Files, however, condense four or five pixels into one, and Nokia claims they are smaller than equivalent products from rivals. A Carl Zeiss lens shoots in continuous focus HD video, at 1080p.
