Nokia 808 PureView With 41 Megapixel Camera | Nokia 808 PureView With 41 Megapixel Camera. Nokia's lineup so far at the Mobile World Congress has been pretty modest. That is, until they showed off the Nokia 808 PureView, a sleek little phone that packs an industry-first 41-megapixel camera sensor.

Of course, resolution is far from everything. At these high levels of detail, sensor performance and light management matter just as much, if not more. Still, you can't help but be taken in awe by such a high pixel count. It's like the phone's camera has megapixels growing out of its megapixels.

The Nokia 808 PureView will be the first smartphone to use the company's PureView imaging technologies, which combines high-resolution sensors with Carl Zeiss optics to bring top-of-the-line phone cameras. According to Nokia, file size won't be ridiculous -- PureView uses a clever interpolation algorithm that condenses up to 5 pixels into one pixel. As such, the images won't lose any clarity when you zoom, which Nokia directly attributes to the high amount of detail it can capture. Of course, it can do 1080p video, too, which it pairs with CD-quality audio recording.

Other details of the phone include a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen (with a disappointing 360 x 640 resolution), a 1.3GHz single-core chip, 512MB of RAM, aGPS, 3G with HSPA, WiFi, Bluetooth, 16GB of onboard storage and microSD card expansion. Excited yet? Be ready to douse water on that fire in your belly -- the handset comes with Symbian Belle, instead of Windows Phone, so it's not entirely a must-have device.

Pricing for the Nokia 808 PureView will reportedly be around $600 before taxes and subsidies. It hits the market in May.
