CNET’s Nokia 808 PureView Review: “easily beats all current handsets on the market.”
The main CNET page (not the various local variants) have published their Nokia 808 PureView.
Seems CNET got the message regarding the camera, with their headline saying:
“Its small display and and Symbian OS are pitfalls, but as a camera phone, the Nokia 808 PureView easily beats all current handsets on the market.“

- They accidentally dropped the 808 but it had no sign of scratches. Their foot was worse for wear though.
- 4″ screen was apparently too small and too low resolution. (I can agree with maybe nHD being too low, but too small?)
- However screen isn’t just about size and pixels, the quality of the AMOLED CBD is recognised too.
- Curved screen nice touch
- Not keen on the booty bulge
- Complaints of Belle FP1 apparently the same as Anna (?)
- Predictive text input not improved enough

Judging from early experiences with the phone and quick glance through the review, it seems to be quite a very fair review from CNET.
The screen display is crisp with deep colors and vibrant display. Beats HTC, Iphone and even my E7..
Symbian? Well is no longer the symbian we used to know, it is Belle , and its just as good as Android and more screen features than Iphone. There is nothing wrong with it.
The camera is just superb.Best phone ive used yet.
The screen on the 808 is actually surprisingly good. A major improvement over N8 and looks better than the E7 screen too (although specs are same, so who knows). At least in camera use the resolution has not bothered me, although things like web browsing probably could use a better resolution.
A four inch screen is OK for this resolution, but of course after the 4.3″ in Lumia 900 (and even larger screens in some competing devices) even 4.0 inches can start feeling a bit petite. Though consider that the iPhone is still at 3.5 inches, but that’s Apple for you, they have the loyalty.
From initial experiences Belle FP1 is quite good on this device, and much faster than Belle on N8/E7, but I wouldn’t put it on par with Android though. More experiences once I get them, I’ll try to gather some personal verdict on the user-experience then.
I do agree that the CNET article and many others have gotten some OS details wrong, but glancing though this particular review I thought at least the overall sentiment and conclusions made are something that I can agree with.
I have heard the battery life of 808 is very good. Probably due to the low resolution.
As long as Android and iOS converts aren’t flocking back to Symbian, it isn’t fine and isn’t just as good as Android.
fp1 same as anna ? What are they smoking.
I can’t wait to see how engadget will try to make the 4s take better pictures that the 808.. The difference is so big now, that they will have to get really creative this time around.
hahaha i agree
. Engadget is very apple biased
Actually I’ve noticed Engadget has gotten WAAAAY better. I think they are jealous of all the page views Jay gets!
Oh ya, there is hope there.. I really like Myrian (@tnkgrl), she is fair and for the most part there is no bs with her. She is also into photography, as far as I know, and I think she is the only one from the endgadget team that can review the 808… But something tells me they won’t give it to her.
I think Myriam will absolutely be the one to review the Nokia 808! The question I have is if The Verge will bother to review it, and if so, will Vlad do the honors…
Defend symbian all you like, but as an 808 and N9 owner, the 808 still lags behind even meego harmattan when it comes to user experience and day to day usage. It’s not a bad OS, not at all. Its not a pain to use like symbian anna for example, but its still not as smooth/modern as the top end androids ( smoothness of scrolling and homescreen scrolling most evident examples) or meego, or iOS.
I still love the 808 though. The OS is decent, but should be better. Keyboard and browser are my biggest grips. If those 2 are improved, I’d say belle fp1 is 95% there.
Another thing is that the camera is so darn good, you can easily forget the 808′s shortcomings. Having a fantastic camera like this on you all the time is very handy. I’ve been using it as my daily phone even since I got it. Can’t get back to the N9 simply because of the camera.
I know people are going to hate me for this comment, but I’ll just post it because it is true. For me the 808 has not been able to replace the Lumia 900 as my daily driver. The 4.3″ screen on the 900 is just so good for web browsing and Windows Phone is also very sweet for that purpose.
However, the 808 is very close to making my aging point and shoot completely redundant. Also, I plan to swap my SIM to the 808 when I head out to events or things that I’ll be photographing but where I don’t want to carry a separate camera. The 808 can indeed carry itself just as a camera with phone features too. The camera is that good.
My N9, unfortunately, finds very little room in this mix for me. Swipe is good, but the 900+808 combo is just better.
That all depends on your personal needs, and what you are willing to sacrifice: a great camera for a good browser, or a good browser for a poor camera..
I want both. Nokia still has not produced a phone that has a great browser and a kickass camera with xenon. It’s always one or the other. It’s like they purposely want to make life as difficult for themselves as possible.
I don’t like IE on my Windows desktops and I think Windows Explorer blows chunks as a file manager.
But, IE is good enough to allow me to download alternatives (and apparently, according to web browser market shares, I’m not alone). I hope you get my point.
Well played sir
IE on WinPhone is pretty good actually. IE10 on W8 seems very well done as well.
Do you know if it has support for plugins?
The 1 and only reason I don’t use IE as my primary browser is because I can’t load adblock!
Use it as a camera.
Many consumers are going to use their current phone and buy the 808 to be used as a camera. That makes sense.
What I don’t understand is why Nokia is not going to make a camera with a proper optical zoom? That would be a nice device without the bad reputation people associate to the 808.
Maybe I’ll buy one if the price is reasonable. Maybe 300-350$ or max 400$.
Nokia did have a camera phone with optical zoom in the market a few years ago, but they just found it too much of a compromise considering the size-expectations people have with phones now and the quality of optics and picture quality they could fit in. The oversampling, huge-sensor PureView was the best solution they could come up with.
Or so they have told us anyway.
dss:
Sure, I’ll be the first to admit that no Nokia has had a good camera, except the N8 and the 808, since Symbian^3 launch. Nokia have not been able to bring their camera magic to miniaturized sensors. The N9 has slightly better camera results due to software than the 900, which has slightly better camera results than the 800… But none of the cameras are really great. I’d see the 900 camera is passable in my use, as in I can usually use the resulting pictures with a little adjusting. They are OK-enough most of the time. The 710 camera was quite poor though.
Like Jay, a combination of good UX and good camera (and throw in a hardware keyboard too) would be really good in my eyes. The size wouldn’t matter to me as much.
Nice to see you be honest with the (albeit very slight) edge the N9 has, that’s been my experience too.
I mean strictly regarding photography.
Janne
You should know better and understand N9 vs L900 is not valid comparison…
You should open up the reasons for it: bigger screen, faster, apps, what. Depending on your answer, I have questions.
Question: could it be that also the L900 was done on planned N9-02 chassis?
Q: would N9 be snappier, if it had dual core and devs had not fled after Feb11 and be more motivated. Eg the head of MH devs sayd that he was told Spring last year that his contract will end Aug 2012
Q: would there be much more apps on the store had the MH not discontinued.
Too bad we cannot make true comparisons between the two product lines.
Ill post here one last time on this blog within some time, when we see who are left at Nokia. Soon always any WP centered blog is better for following Nokia smartphone news since it will cover the MS ecosystem better since a lot of it interrelated in the future. Im not really intereated in Ashas or Nokia 102. You always seem to find excuse on Elop’s actions on the external factors. I claim that most of the external factors with one exception, cheap Androids. And even that is not completely isolated from Elop/Nokia. The Feb 11 immediately forced sales channels to fill in order books ans sho floor with alternatives to Symbian devices. And ofcourse any sane competitor would start price dumping knowing that Symbian was dead meat. But back to my question to you:
assuming that Elop has done his best to adjust to external factors, was he able to negotiate correct price level with MS? I say absolutely not. They are getting 0 eur. Nokia will get savings in R&D, but they would have had most of the savings also with Android. So its not really specific MS value. Consider at least the following:
- Exclusivity on Pureview
- Localisation support
- Navteq maps with no extra charge (part of the deal and no additional sums given in the financial reporting)
– Nokia’s development support to get WP to lower price points (Elop has himself mentioned how Nokia brought in ideas)
- Free use of Nokia’s patents. If MS is launching their own tablet for instance, they would for sure need Nokia’s patents. Will Nokia make them pay for those?
- Stalling mobile Linux by years
- Exclusivity to Nokia desing
- etc
I dont think Elop was knowingly a trojan. Ballmer just fooled him 100% Evenif Elop has been doing ok decisions, his contract negotiation skills are lacking big time.
jiipee:
Completely fair points there, who knows where Harmattan might have been taken to. And may I add, there are things that the N9 can do that 900 can’t. I do acknowledge this. However, the N9 is no N900 in my eyes. N900 was special. Its browser, keyboard, resistive stylus for sharp pointing, no security layer… That was a thing of beauty, truly a computer in the pocket. And N9 still lags compared to Lumia.
But I can’t live with what-ifs. Lumia 900 is currently in my eyes the best phone from Nokia. 808 is the best camera, of course. Hence I have both. But I do appreciate this is down to personal preference.
Just my preference.
We’ve been over this….
The N9 has already evolved almost completely to the point where the N900 was in-terms of hack-ability.
The right sort of resistive tech isn’t around for there to be decent resistive, too many compromises nowadays.
It exists, but doesn’t seem to have been embraced by many OEM/ODM’s yet, cost prohibitive perhaps.
Browser is also not an issue, what’s available is as good as what’s available for the N900.
There are VERY GOOD BT/NFC keyboards, sometimes I’d prefer one built-in, it’s something I flip-flop over.
Janne was just stating his/her preference. No amount of long winded typing where you pander to one spectrum and alienate the other makes your OPINION more valid than his OPINION and vice versa.
Here’s a person who for once clearly forms and honest opinion without bashing anything and he gets a canned paragraph. If you want to go back to 2005 great, but this is where Nokia is at now. I’d hate this blog if it were just a bunch of miserable fucks posting about how great Nokia was in 2005 and bashing everything else.
FANSITE != miserable POS site
I do agree with you though Janne, I will be buying the 808 for those times I don’t want to lug a camera and a phone (I was at a wedding this weekend and it would have been perfect). However I just have gotten so used to my Lumia900 and WP7 keeping me organized that I can’t abandon it yet. In addition I find it hard to make room for my N9 although it feels the nicest in hand, at least my brother can use it now that he broke his iPhone.
I’m hoping for some real groundbreaking shit for Win8 and Nokia, I feel like they have something planned…

Just use Opera Mobile.
yesterday experience with 800: calculated some numbers with calc app..several minutes, need to check dates, switched to calender, switched back to calc….ooops! ZERO! I’ve win f&^&(g ZERO!
I’m done with WP
Maybe, but at least it was fluid and lag free.
I dont wonna “fluid & lag free”! I wonna my data back! and 20 minutes of my life!
LOL +1
Are you sure you did it right? Oddly enough I do this all the time and has worked flawlessly. When you are in the calculator app and needed to switch to the calendar, did you hit the back button or the home(windows) button? If you hit the back button, it backs out of the app, losing any info you had. Hitting the home button allows you to go to the home screen (by freezing the calculator app), open any app (calendar in your case) and when you need to go back to the calculator, LONG press the back button, select the calculator app from the “multitasking” view and it should be where it left off. I do this quite a bit so I know it works. Hope that helps.
Uh…right…? If you exit an app by backing out on any mobile os you lose progress. If you just change apps it’s still there.
I just tried this and it works fine. Same thing happens on an N9. If you launch another app it’s fine, if you close it out of memory all together you lose progress. You’re basically bitching about your own inability to use any mobile OS with multitasking. Hit the home button and launch another app, you’ll get the same results, but if your compulsively ignorant no amount of explanation would help you.
Not all apps will forget their state even if you explicitly close them on the N9 – for example the Messaging app will always remember what you’ve typed even if you haven’t sent it. Saved me a great deal of aggravation…
Poor web browsing on the 808 is surely compensated by Opera Mobile, no??
yes
That’s really the ace in the hole. Given that the 808 had to be Symbian because it would have taken them longer to do it with Windows Phone or M***o, hopefully it won’t take them ages to get it out. If Nokia keeps that going, they’ll be dominating cameras for years, and given HTC has made some impressive strides with the Titan II camera, you can expect Windows Phone (and therefore Nokia) to be getting the premium camera and photo apps.
And if they can’t get a WP PureView out within a year, they should follow up the 808 with an 818 that has a 4.5″ 1280×720 screen and updated internals to handle the pixels, still running Symbian, just to have something new to sell people.
Symbian will never get a modern processor and high resolution screen. It’s all WP at Nokia now. Time to move on…
Man, have the Swype keyboard installed. It’s way better than the original one.
From what I’ve seen so far, this comment seems very much in line with my own experiences. Thank you for posting it. (Although I’ve felt that homescreen scrolling is actually very snappy.)
But it is early days yet, we shall see how it feels in longer use. Nevertheless, what a great camera the 808 is. Wow. And the one-finger zoom, magic – especially when video filming.
You’re right. I meant I dislike that in the homescreen while scrolling, the phone won’t register any clicks unless you completely stop scrolling. Its just a little annoyance though. Why not be able to click on an icon before the screen is completely still like in every other OS?
This is what’s killing me!!! I sooooo want to get this. But I can’t bring myself to it.
If it had either Win or MeeGo I would buy it in a heartbeat. Otherwise I can’t feel like I’m regressing.
I wish I could rent it for a summer!!!
Despite Symbian’s flaws, I’d still recommend it in a heartbeat
I think only to cameraphiles. For my brother, I think it could be a great phone (but he won’t be able to afford it at the moment), since he really only cares about the camera. For myself, I don’t mind that the camera on the Lumia 710 is crap, so having a great camera on the 808 is nice, but it’s just a bonus feature, not a selling point.
It’s good that Nokia has that niche cornered again, after it looked like the N8 wasn’t going to hold the line for much longer.
“Defend symbian all you like, but as an 808 and N9 owner, the 808 still lags behind even meego harmattan when it comes to user experience and day to day usage”
Doesn’t that depend on the individual user wants/preferences/priorities?
He probably should have inserted the word “average” before “user”
yasu
I think you’d get a better understanding of what I mean if you get to use the N9 and the 808 side by side. Meego is smoother, much nicer looking, much more modern, easier to use, more fun to use etc etc.
I wish they would fix my lag in PR1.2. It’s so bad now that every time I open email I get “fenix not responding.”
shallow ocean shoal
just download fasterN9!
it will make your n9 fly.
I looked into that actually. Maybe I looked in the wrong place (I was reading the maemo.org thread), but I couldn’t find anywhere details on what it was actually doing to achieve the results.

It’s quite a “hackish” mod though, so do your homework!
Once all done properly, you shouldn’t have any issues.
If I were you I wouldn’t use it alongside apps like N9Tweak.
It doesn’t improve the performance of some apps.
“I think you’d get a better understanding of what I mean if you get to use the N9 and the 808 side by side. Meego is smoother, much nicer looking, much more modern, easier to use, more fun to use etc etc.”
I know what you mean, but again, I feel that you project your tastes on everybody else.
There are a lot of folk like me who want a shit keyboard, so Symbian still keeps us happy.
Good for you, guys.
It’s definitely down to personal preference. I couldn’t get into using the N9. After using it as my Daily driver for a week, I reverted back to my N8. I tried the Lumia 710 and it was nice, but it also did not last for more than a week. I liked it better than the N9 though. I like the Metro UI.
If Nokia comes with a WinPhone 8 phone that can match my N8 when it comes to the most important functions, I’ll switch.
I do not even care that much about the camera. (I ám getting the 808 though…)
We really dont care about how Nokia manages their company. Yes its sad to know that Nokia is letting go thousands of people to cost-cut. But, as long as they provide us quality phones like 808 PUREVIEW, they still have the chance to regain what they have lost.
NOKIA always know how to create a phone that will STAND-OUT from the crowd(UNIQUE and BUILT WITH QUALITY). Nokia is the only OEM that creates unique designs, other OEMs always follow the same form-factor that makes design boring.
Not to mention the hardware features you will get from a symbian smartphone. They pioneered FM transmitter, USB OTG, HDMI port, USB and PIN charging, DLNA, Dolby surround, 3.5 mm jack with TV out, free Navigation, offline GPS, sturdy built, SUPERB CAMERA with rich sound recording, and so on. Just to name some.
Its also a good thing that nokia didnt use android, because if they do, we will not have the freedom of choice then, we are now filled with OEMs that use android. We dont want that, right?
Personally, I really want Nokia to keep symbian alive, whatever they want to call it(Nokia belle or whatnot).
There are so many features that only Symbian platform can offer. When i used android, it felt like its missing something, even if it should have all the things i want in a smartphone. And i dont want Restrictive Iphone nor Windows phone.
Nokia should construct their ecosystem that will both work with Symbian/Meego, s40 and Windows phone (basically for all of thier Phones). Not just for windows phone. If they do, Nokia will just simply be the KING again.
And this PUREVIEW 808 kicks-ass!!!
Well, belle fp2 is on the way (hopefully Nokia won’t cancel it too). So at least there will be improvements with the keyboard as well as give the camera ui to all original belle devices.

Well, let’s face it this CNET review is negative. Ok, they prize the camera quality but how could they have not?
The rest of the review is a mix bag of clichés and unthoughts comments. Chosen moments:
- “…there are no dedicated Twitter or Facebook apps in the Ovi Store…” => did they really opened the Store App?
- “there’s no burst mode setting, though you can capture sequential shots by holding down the physical shutter button…” => if sequential shots capture is not burst mode so what is a burst mode then?
It shows once again that too many specialist journalist are most of the time not doing their job and should not be trust for most of their speech. To some extent this behaviour can be perceived as disrespectful to their readers.
By “dedicated,” perhaps they mean “native.” Does a native Facebook app exist?
I think “burst” is commonly thought to mean many per second to capture a quickly moving target, vs. sequential which is one every second or two without releasing the button.
Social (that they refers as “Ovi Social”) natively (here meaning pre-installed on the phone) covers this area. But they clearly mentionned that they blame the Store for not containing any app for those social networks :/
The thing is that from a pure semantic point of view, burst is the action of taking several successive shots. The 808 does that. Now if their concern is about burst speed, a fully legitimate concern, why don’t they give a measure of the speed of the 808 in comparison to other smartphones/cameras performance? Isn’t part of the journalist job to be pragmatic and give documented arguments?
Err, sorry, by native I mean either made by Facebook themselves, or made by someone else (e.g. Nokia) with the official Facebook stamp of approval
When I think of burst mode, I’m just thinking of the speed necessary to capture a photograph during an important play in a football game
Overall it’s a pretty tootin’ positive review!
Ok, so the word you think CNET is searching for is official, not native. And again, this does exist, the Facebook app by Facebook is available from the Nokia Store (http://store.ovi.com/content/238066?clickSource=publisher+channel&channel=&pos=1). Though I do think a Qt app like facinate is preferable to the official app.
Again, what you are refering for is not a tangible repeatable measurement. When you say that to 10 different people, they’ll see 10 different situations where the player can be running 9 or 25 km/h, even be walking. The only way to compare burst is to give a “shot by second” measure, that they do not think of. Then they could have even compare the result shots. CNET did only think about complaining, not documenting.
If I give a break about their technical and scientifical inabilities, I still perceive the review as negative. I do mean negative, not bad. They’re not saying the 808 is crap. But as their basic conclusion says that the overall experience is so-so but yeah, 808 has a nice camera. They say “near-perfect imaging chops for a mobile phone”, but the point should not be there. They’re not saying if yes or no the 808 can replace a fully grown camera. Their review says, “yes it has a great camera, for a smartphone, but it has nothing much than that”. I do not think of that as positive.
And well in their conclusion, they’re judging showing superiority of other phones by “broad user base”… This is utterly stupid. Symbian had been for years and until recently the most selling smartphone OS, given him the “broadest user base”. But it never meant Symbian was the best OS available. Symbian smartphones have been hotselling too, it still doesn’t met those cells were the best. People never only buy the best (first best means a criteria to tell it is the best there, there and there), pricepoint, availability,… there are so much factors guiding a buy. And the Galaxy SIII is available since less than 3 weeks, how could it have a broad user base? So maybe they are refering to iOS and Android, but then could’nt they call a spade a spade?
@fneuf
You’re right, it would be their job to properly distinguish between burst speed and the availability of sequential mode. Unfortunately 99.999% of their readers will not realize that these are mixed up so the authors of that review will get away with these deficiencies. Things like these are basically a common occurrence in all mainstream news these days.
Deeply sadly yes.
I’m with you on this one and said as much on the webpage. The overall sentiment actually appears negative in my opinion.
4″ will be MORE than big enough when the Iphone5 gets released CNet will be “OMG ITS PERFECT not too small that you can’t see anything and not too big so you can still use it with 1 hand”
oh.. no.. you don’t understand.. if you ask them if the iphone 4s has a big enough screen right now, with its 3.5 inch, they will say “YES! Perfectly fine!” but.. since this is a Nokia.. no go.
On ios 3.5″ looks bigger because it’s made with magic
LOL. This is EXACTLY what is going to happen. Once the iPhone does it or has it, it won’t be annoying any more and should be standard on every phone out there. But if anyone else does it before hand,it’s too this or too that.
Yeah, the resolution doesn’t matter if the screen looks good. Vain resolution just eats battery and processing power. Belle is great and the camera is easily the best. Eat that Elop!!!!!!!! This sells itself. What ever Lunias sells, the Marketing Bonanza eats the profit.
We’ll find out if it sells itself in the USA real soon!
Surely resolution matters, no matter how nice the screen looks? We had some beautiful old Trinitron monitors, but the resolution is far too low for something I’d like to use today.
They way phones sell in the US is if they are offered with a carrier. No other way around it. Maybe Nokia can do a cool marketing campaign for the PureView.. but that won’t help. The american mind is condition for years that phones should be cheap to buy.. the expectation used to be “free phone” but Jobs managed to change that and ATT went along for the ride. So now, since the iphone is around $200 .. anything over that is an overkill.
*conditioned
Have they tried the subsidy model elsewhere in the world? I’m just curious if it was tried and if it failed, why?
I am not sure.. I though Europe uses a similar model ? But I really don’t know. The US might be unique in how much they subsidy.. i think the iphone is $600-800 but AT&T sells it for $200-400 so that is around 50%..its similar with all the other higher end droid phones. I am sure that I am simplifying.. but that is how I see it.
It’s not subsidy, it’s credit sales. People are easily fooled by these kind of advertising semantics.
I’m not sure people are as gullible as you think. “I’ll gladly pay you tomorrow for a hamburger today” makes sense whatever you want to call it.
I would have taken a Lumia 900 in exchange for a 2 year commitment, were it available on tmobile.
Look at the automobile industry. Why do so many people choose to lease cars for 3 years, if they could just buy a new or used car outright?
The bottom line is the only highlight to this device is the camera; this is all that the tech blogs will focus on as Symbian is simply an afterthought and always has been even before the February 11th announcement (Vlad’s review of the N8, when he was with Engadget, is a prime example).
Belle is nothing to write home about as no other device utilizing this OS has been featured on any of the major sites, with the exception of PhoneArena and GSMArena (and I don’t recall them ‘praising’ Anna or Belle, for that matter).
I think the phone will get ‘decent’ reviews and scores, but only because of Pureview; reviewers will definitely critique Belle FP1, as they should, and point out those negatives (or positives?) – it is their duty to inform consumers of every pro and con associated with the device.
Another problem is that non of the reviewers here in the US use Symbian, so when they get a device with it, they just can’t use it and to them it seems worse than it really is.Its almost like having to learn something new, and Symbian is not really easy to learn, just like Android.
GSMarena is “old school” .. they were doing smartphone reviews when Symbian was king, so their review team is way more familiar with the OS than say.. BGR, PhoneDog, or engadget.
Belle doesn’t really lack in any major way.. the only issue is the browser and to a certain extend the text input, both of which very important, but other than that.. it does everything all the other platforms do, and even more.
Here is a good review of FP1:
http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/reviews/item/14975_Belle_FP1_on_the_Nokia_701.php
I hate that Meltemi is dead and that Elop has gutted a lot of Nokia’s R&D, but if they keep bringing out quality devices, I’ll keep buying them!
If they don’t, I sure hope another company can pick up where Nokia leaves off.
Elop didn’t gut the HW R&D, that’s still going strong. But let’s face it, Nokia wasn’t doing anything good in the software department.
IYO.
Price for pureview 808 in India dropped to Rs. 32499(611 USD) from Rs. 33899(586 USD) in just a week.
