Nokia Advertising for Nokia Lumia PureView imaging Specialist: Next big thing related to imaging and camera for Nokia Windows Phones!

This morning when I wrote about the 808 PureView, I accidentally left Lumia in the title. Now there is no Lumia PureView yet, but Nokia have made enough explicit hints to suggest it is on the way.

The title is on purpose this time. Prasenjit emailed us a job description he found whilst helping update his sister’s CV. This was posted two weeks ago, March 19th.

In this Linked in job description, Nokia are looking for a Senior Specialist for imaging algorithms of Nokia Windows Phones. The Nokia 808 PureView is specifically mentioned and we are told that there will be the next big thing on Windows Phone.
