Nokia unveiled its 41-megapixel cameraphone, known as the 808 PureView, at Mobile World Congress 2012, surprising all in attendance. And now the handset is officially up for pre-order in Italy.
Scheduled for a May release the Nokia 808 PureView is powered by Symbian Belle, features a 41-megapixel camera and will cost €599, according to online Italian retailer, NStore.
News of the device hitting pre-order comes via Engadget, which reports that Nokia is cooking up a Lumia-flavoured PureView handset as well. So if Symbian isn’t your bag – but you like the sound of a 41-megapixel camera – then you might want to hold fire until Nokia introduces this technology into one of its Windows Phone-powered devices.
Of course there’s no official word on when this is happening as yet or how Nokia plans on getting around Microsoft’s strict hardware regulations. But we guess all will become clear in time.
One thing is definitely certain though: USPs like a 41-megapixel camera will be very useful in the Windows Phone ecosystem. Hardware, after all, is the only way manufacturers can differentiate their devices.
The Nokia 808 PureView is expected to launch in Europe during May.
