Could we ever see a phone camera sensor as big as the one in the Nokia 808 PureView?

Could we ever see a phone camera sensor as big as the one in the Nokia 808 PureView?

The purist amongst mobile photography would still crown the Nokia 808 PureView to have the best of the best in still image quality in most conditions.

Jolla’s got that new modern website style whereby if you keep on scrolling, there’ll be some animations that walk you through the entire site, even going as far as switching to the next info tabs as you scroll down rather than having to open a new page. It looks really nice. Clean, minimal, modern. http://jolla.com/jolla […]

This is one of the neat accessories for the Nokia Lumia 830 which comes with a slim removable back cover. When you remove that back plate, you can replace it with another which has the flip cover. It helps keep the package trim. Now if only WP could activate with opening covers, eh? It kinda reminds […]
