Nokia 808 PureView’s PureView Super Pixels vs HTC’s “ultra pixels” #oversampling

Nokia 808 PureView’s PureView Super Pixels vs HTC’s “ultra pixels” #oversampling

| February 4, 2013 | 20 Replies

Advertisements This time last year, the media outside the Nokia bubble didn’t understand the purpose of Nokia’s 41mp PureView sensor and pixel oversampling. One year later, after Nokia destroyed the megapixel race (who will compete against 41mp? :p) companies are now opting for oversampling instead of fighting Nokia in the MP wars.

Remember the post Ali linked to and expanded on that described some of the things that needed fixing in WP8? WP’s Joe Belfiore is apparently reading and saying that he and his team “hear you”. https://twitter.com/joebelfiore/status/298160049224814592 Lots of MS folks (including me and other team members) reading it! 🙂 If nothing else, know that we […]

Nokia Lumia 920 coming to Vodafone UK on Wednesday (820 and 620 too!)

It’s been known for a while that EE’s exclusivity for the 920 would end in the UK and that Vodafone would one day pick up the Nokia Lumia 920, but we weren’t sure when. Today, the Vodafone Blog confirms it’s coming this Wednesday.  I’m surprised they’re proudly picturing the infamous yellow one and not BIG […]

When I watched this on Reddit, I didn’t realise it was actually from MS themselves. The presentation seemed too down to earth. Anyway, here’s a demo of the burst mode lens in action, taking pictures before and after your shot. With BLINK for Windows Phone 8, you’ll never miss the best shot. BLINK captures a […]

New Update to WP8 To Bring Back Flip To Silence?

New Update to WP8 To Bring Back Flip To Silence?

| February 2, 2013 | 8 Replies

One of the cool features of WP7 that went MIA in WP8 was flip to silence/snooze; something I heavily abused every morning (and got about an extra hour of sleep out of). Unfortunately the feature hasn’t been in any WP8 device…yet. A new update spotted on Navfirm for the Lumia 620 seems to bring this […]

Another comparison between the Windows Phone 8 flagships of Nokia and Samsung, the Lumia 920 and ATIV S. The screen of the 920 is set to be brighter and more natural, whilst the ATIV is less bright with more saturated colours. Both panels said to be really good, but with the Nokia, you can use […]

WP Showdown; HTC 8X and Lumia 900 Show Up in “Revenge”

| February 2, 2013 | 1 Reply

While watching the latest episode of ABC’s “Revenge” I noticed that both a black Lumia (900 probably) and the HTC 8X showed up back to back in the same episode. I’m not sure if the Lumia was a paid placement, but the 8X was definitely a paid placement seeing how it got about 5 minutes […]
