Phone giant introduces latest model as a
photo breakthrough.
The
Nokia PureView 808
The Nokia PureView 808 is making waves,
with the manufacturers claiming that it should be considered a breakthrough in
photography.
The cameraphone features a 41 megapixel
sensor, a f2.4 Carl Zeiss lens and four-inch touch screen, making it an
attractive package.
Nokia uses ‘pixel binning’ technology to
distil seven pixels into one to create a super-detailed five-megapixel shot in
default mode. It collects data from multiple pixels to produce one ‘super
pixel’. Nokia claims that this technique helps to filter away noise from your
shots.
The sensor measures 1/1.2 inches in size –
that’s two and a half times bigger than the iPhone 4s sensor and produces
images between 9MB and 13MB. The bonus of such a huge megapixel count is that
the digital zoom becomes a useful feature. With such a high-resolution image,
you can zoom in up to 3x without losing any detail.
