Nokia 808 PureView

The Nokia 808 PureView is a <a href="/facts/Symbian/gbRl35V9">Symbian</a>-powered <a href="/facts/Smartphone/cSIrBMWG">smartphone</a> by <a href="/facts/Nokia/bCleFoF4">Nokia</a>. It was first unveiled on 27 February 2012 at the <a href="/facts/Mobile_World_Congress/79JBwHG2">Mobile World Congress</a> (MWC) and released in May 2012. It is the first smartphone to feature Nokia <a href="/facts/PureView/ckm1oGSX">PureView</a> Pro technology, a pixel <a href="/facts/Data_binning/542EIHcu">oversampling</a> technique that reduces an image taken at full resolution into a lower resolution picture, thus achieving higher definition and light sensitivity, and enables lossless <a href="/facts/Digital_zoom/mfy795NM">digital zoom</a>. It was one of the most advanced camera phones at the time of its release.
The Nokia 808 PureView features a 41 <a href="/facts/Megapixel/UzwBvXBV">MP</a> 1/1.2 in (10.67 × 8 mm) sensor and a high-resolution f/2.4 Zeiss all-<a href="/facts/Aspherical_lens/cSatFMFd">aspherical</a> 1-group lens. The 808's sensor was the largest (over 4 times larger than typical <a href="/facts/Compact_camera/w3EEJpMG">compact cameras</a>) sensor ever to be used in a cameraphone at the time of its launch, a record previously held by Nokia's <a href="/facts/Nokia_N8/PavN4VRU">N8</a> and, as of September 2014, by the <a href="/facts/Panasonic_Lumix_CM1/E2GuLegE">Panasonic Lumix CM1</a>. 
As of 2024, despite larger 1" sensors and AI processing modern cameraphones can’t provide resolution better than Nokia 808 PureView at least in broad daylight.[unreliable source?]
On 24 January 2013, Nokia officially confirmed the 808 PureView to be the last <a href="/facts/Symbian/gbRl35V9">Symbian</a> smartphone. In July 2013, Nokia released the <a href="/facts/Nokia_Lumia_1020/zd54eDlv">Lumia 1020</a>, a successor running the <a href="/facts/Windows_Phone/khEg0rGT">Windows Phone</a> operating system common to Nokia's newer products.
