Revolutionary Smartphone - Nokia 808 PureView

Revolutionary Smartphone

Nokia launched a new phone which has 41 Megapixels camera! This is going to set off a revolution with other major brands to follow the same example. My next bet is Sony is going to bring in a phone whose megapixels camera will break all records.

With its groundbreaking 41 MP image quality, Carl Zeiss lens, and PureView imaging technology, you’ll take the best photos ever with a smartphone and render the DSLR cameras powerless. The smartphone allows you to take pictures or video even at pitch dark due to its powerful Xenon flash and LED video lighting.

Nokia's 808 Pureview also have 1080p Full HD video recording with up to 4 x lossless zoom that’s smooth and completely silent, combined with distortion-free audio recording at levels of up to 140 dB.

Also it is the first smartphone to ever have a Dolby® headphones, enjoy superb sound quality for music, movies or YouTube videos.
