Abstract: Nokia's 808 PureView smartphone landed at UKMR's European HQ (courtesy of Nokia Germany) yesterday and as always, the first thing we did was unbox the smartphone with the world's largest ever smartphone camera.Featuring a 4inch AMOLED display, the 808 Pur...
Abstract: The Nokia Pureview is an odd phone to look at and hold - it's a relatively small device though in terms of proportions it seems long and thin, but it's also quite chunky thanks to the hefty camera seated in the top of the back-panel. The size and position...
Bulky, screen could be higher res, processor could be more powerful, nofuture Symbian OS
The Nokia 808 PureView is basically a one-trick pony, with a cracking camera attached to an average smartphone that just happens to be saddled with an out-of-favour OS. If you want to treat yourself to a new camera that also acts as a phone, it's certa...

The Nokia 808 PureView is a camera first and a smartphone second.As a compact camera, the PureView scores top marks. It is amazing what Nokia has produced in such a small package and this must point the way for up and coming Finnish flagship phones. This ...
There’s only one place to start: that 41-megapixel monster of a sensor. Forget the megapixel arms race, Nokia has just won it with a sensor bigger than any smartphone before it, and bigger than most ‘normal’ cameras. However, the 41-megapixel sensor isn’t the most important thing here: it’s the PureView technology. PureView ‘oversamples’ pictures to deliver shots that are bursting with detail, th
It’s a big shame that the operating system running the 808 PureView is already on the process of being outdated by the likes of Android and iOS Nokia soon won’t be investing in its own operating system either, so there might be a lack of updates in future. For a top of the range smartphone, it’s not exactly the quickest either, not when compared to the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S3. Do you reall
It’s the best cameraphone around for taking pictures. The best there has ever been, and may be for some time, but a prehistoric operating system makes the Nokia 808 PureView difficult to recommend. Especially not at £500. Nokia 808 PureView is tagged...
Camera, great features, lots of handy apps pre-installed, good email support, good battery life, fantastic call quality, music player
Display is low resolution compared to most, Symbian still confusing at times, too expensive
Make no mistake, we love this phone. The price means that we can't really give it a higher score, as it's enormously expensive. But, that doesn't change the fact that we think the 808 is a lovely handset, with one of the most remarkable cameras we've e...

Abstract: Back in 2002 Nokia introduced the world to the notion of the cameraphone with the launch of the Nokia 7650. That handset had a mere 0.3-Megapixel sensor, capable of handling snaps of a resolution up to 640 x 480 pixels.Since then Nokia has pretty much led...
Exceptional detail, Very good lens, Good performance
Poor metering, No optical zoom, Awkward handling
While there's no question that the Nokia 808 PureView is technologically interesting and represents something of a breakthrough in photographic technology, at the end of the day it's still only a phone camera, just one with a larger than average sensor. ...
Excellent camera that's comparable with compacts; Snapper performs well in low light; Good screen readability under direct sunlight; Robust build; MicroSD card slot
Extremely sluggish web browsing; Symbian OS lags behind the competition; Ovi Store needs more apps; Low-resolution display; Hefty and bulky
The Nokia 808 PureView's 41-megapixel camera is a rocket strapped to a rollerskate. It easily trumps all the better smart phone cameras, including the iPhone 4S and the HTC One X. But the Symbian operating system is less easy to use than Android or iOS...
