Nokia has finally launched the Nokia Pureview 808 officially in India. The phone was expected to enter the market a tad early, but due to some delays the launch was moved to yesterday. The good news is that it’s here. All those smartphone camera fans can now get ready to buy the phone if they are ok with Rs 33,899/- price tag. This is the MRP, so one can get it for cheaper price as well. And of course if you are willing to wait, you can get it for even better price. Price aside, Nokia Pureview 808 is an impressive smartphone. As you know, it has 41MP camera that uses the pureview technology to capture amazing pictures with huge details while still maintaining the size and resolution under decent limits. The Pureview 808 runs Symbian Belle FP1, sports a 4″ screen with Nokia’s Clear Black Display, 41MP Carl Zeiss Optics with Xenon flash, WiFi, BT, NFC, HDMI port, USB OTG, Dolby Digital Plus, GPS and a 1400mAh battery.
The camera on the phone is just amazing. However one may wonder why they should still go for a Symbian after Nokia’s own CEO Stephen Elop announced Symbian as long dead platform. It’s also surprising that why Nokia brought Pureview technology to Symbian and not to their newly wed Windows Phones which has very poor camera performance. Nokia may have plans to bring it to WP, but the question is when ?!! Nokia really doesn’t have good track record in bringing products on time to the market. Besides a 1400mAh battery seems a bit less comparing to other high end phones in the same segment from other brands. Then again Symbian usually delivers good battery life and the OS’ battery management is impressive. However, one may have to actually use the device themselves to see the actual performance of the phone after all the photoshoots with this amazing camera.
Flipkart already has the phone listed on their website with Cash On Delivery. So are you getting this camera beast ??
