The word on the street is that Lumia’s sporting PureView technology unfortunately wont be around for another year, according to WMPU.

First off, if you want a clearer comparison of imaging between iPhone 4S and Nokia 808 PureView then see James Burland’s piece: http://mynokiablog.com/2012/03/04/james-burland-nokia-808-pureview-proto-vs-iphone-4s-vs-nokia-n8/ The 4S is no slouch – whilst we might have different preferences over the level of saturation, it has come a long way since the first iPhone.

  We’ve been following the comments by Nokia staff on their official blogs and at interviews and the gist we have got from them is that, well, Nokia Windows Phones will also get PureView. One of the main criticisms by certain tech media sites was why wasn’t Nokia using Windows Phone in this beastly camera. [...]
