‘Nokia 808 PureView’ Stories

Nokia’s Lumia 925 will resurrect the “true PureView” question

, May 13th 2013 Discuss [0]

All eyes are on Nokia this week, as the company prepares for another new Windows Phone, expected to be the Lumia 925, and one with even more of a photographic bent at that. The Finnish firm has made no bones over the past months that digital imagery is one of the key differentiators it sees as distinguishing it from the rest of the mobile market, both from other Windows Phone manufacturers and the smartphone segment at large, and its London launch is expected to be the most camera-centric of the year. Speculation that we could see the “EOS” or the “Catwalk” is rife.

Nokia teases new Lumia PureView phone ahead of Tuesday reveal

, May 12th 2013 Discuss [0]

Nokia has teased its next camera-centric Lumia, running a promo campaign on UK television this weekend for the new Windows Phone 8 handset it is expected to officially unveil on Tuesday, May 14. The commercial, which focused on the dual-LED flash of the new smartphone, as well as what looks to be its slightly protruding lens, gives away little in the way of technical detail, but did drop the hint that it would be "more than your eyes can see," leading to speculation it will be the device so-far known as "EOS".

Nokia tipped to bring 41 megapixel sensor to standard smartphones (again)

, Feb 5th 2013 Discuss [0]

This week The Guardian is tipping the world from one of their anonymous sources that Nokia may well be bringing their full-on Nokia 808 PureView 41 megapixel sensor to a set of standard smartphones in 2013. This tip comes from "sources close to the Finnish handset maker" and is indeed appearing to us to be just about as incredible as it may seem to you. What we'll likely see instead is a continuation of the Nokia Lumia 920's high-powered camera technology rather than the beast that is the lens configuration on the 808 - let's have a chat about why.

See ya, Symbian: Nokia calls time on passé platform

, Jan 24th 2013 Discuss [0]

Nokia has officially pulled down the shutters on Symbian, confirming that the Nokia 808 PureView would be the last device from the company to run the little-loved platform. The news, buried in Nokia's Q4 2012 financial report this morning, painted Symbian as the lingering remnants of the Finnish firm's transition over to Windows Phone, with the 808 PureView being a last-hurrah for the OS.

Nokia EOS Windows Phone tipped with “proper” PureView

, Jan 23rd 2013 Discuss [0]

Nokia is readying the first Windows Phone to be truly worthy of PureView branding, currently codenamed EOS, new whispers suggest, with the 2013 handset expected to drop on AT&T later in the year. The Nokia EOS – the project name of which may well be a nod to Canon’s DSLR range – will pack a “similar sensor” to that of the 41-megapixel Nokia 808 PureView, according to The Verge‘s sources, as well as a new industrial design.

PureView rebooted: Nokia shows why Lumia 920 camera is special

, Sep 5th 2012 Discuss [0]

Nokia’s new Lumia 920 may not be PureView as we’ve known it, but that doesn’t mean it’s not some darned clever camera technology all the same: think springs in your smartphone for a start. A new side-by-side video demo of the stabilization system in play – which you can see after the cut – shows another string of PureView’s catch-all camera bow, relying not on masses of megapixels but on how a more average sensor does its business.

Nokia graphene camera tech tips true PureView without the bulk

, Sep 4th 2012 Discuss [0]

Nokia is experimenting with graphene-based camera sensors, potentially smaller and cheaper than existing CCD and CMOS systems, that could allow future high-res PureView models to still fit in your pocket. Revealed by a freshly published patent application for "Sensing of Photons," Nokia's approach combines multiple layers of photo-sensing graphene that are stacked with color filters, each stack representing a single pixel.

Nokia PureView chief slaps down Lumia 920 camera criticism

, Sep 4th 2012 Discuss [0]

Nokia's photography expert has struck out at PureView criticisms, apparently taking to task those who doubt the rumored Lumia 920 PureView is eligible to bear the brand. Damian Dinning, who spent five years developing PureView, took to Twitter to give an impromptu lesson in the advanced camera technology and - though he was careful not to reference unannounced Lumias - why an 8-megapixel camera could still deliver PureView-class stills and video.

Excitement, about a Symbian phone? The Nokia 808 PureView has forced many to reconsider their platform loyalties by virtue of its big number boast: 41-megapixels of camera goodness.
