So yesterday I watched Fast & Furious 6 at the movies, and at first I thought I was imagining things. I caught a glimpse of the plastic end caps of a N8; nothing too suggestive, but after that I knew something was up; without fail almost every single phone in the movie was a Nokia… [...]
Although at the end of the day the only thing that really matters in the smartphone race is the number of phones you ship/sell, these numbers are of course influenced by a number of factors including customer satisfaction. In the latest poll Nokia have risen to 76% (tying with Samsung), while Apple who still hold first place slipped [...]
It’s always interesting to look at how far technology has progressed, and although with the latest Lumia 925 we can see that obviously in terms of actual performance (blowing away the S4, One and everything else). It’s also nice to see what’s inside the device (which is what counts); the picture above is a side by side of the camera [...]
I’m not sure we got around to posting this tip but I also just saw the same story tweeted by Damian. If it has, watch it again because it’s that good. It’s a creation from one of this imaging babies, a 4K video from a Nokia 808 PureView. Now, this isn’t actual video footage (though [...]
In a document obtained by @evleaks over at phonearena an unknown Nokia (safe to assume it’s a Lumia) appeared as seen above. The phone displays a new “color” unlike the current range used in the polycarbonate Lumia designs (could it be catwalk? Anodized aluminum is sure to give off a similar sheen). In the document Nokia [...]
We were emailed the screenshot above showing a PC Update for the Nokia 808 PureView that updates “3G network compatibility”. This fix is said to prepare the device for possible network updates, without which voice and data services may stop working properly. Cheers TSDetailer for the tip!
A very interesting comparison again for you to take a gander at. This one looks at the Nokia Lumia 920 vs 720 vs N8, all in one camera battle. The Nokia N8 was the undisputed camera king until being knocked into second place by the 808. The Nokia Lumia 920 is currently the low light [...]
Last week Deaconclgi posted about Symbian’s amazing file manager system, and how it was “uniquely Symbian”, and it’s admittedly one of the most useful features on the OS from my own personal use. Of course this sparked the age old conversation “Where’s the file manager in Windows Phone! Burn Elop!”; well here’s my take on why [...]
Quick heads up on this very useful video showing whether these phones can do some cinematic filming (well we’ve seen 808 results before so we know that can handle it). We’ve shown (or should have) a video from this guy before (Nokia Lumia 920 music video). I’m loving the use of professional filming accessories. Stabilising [...]
Hello MNB Readers! I couldn’t pass up sharing these YouTube videos from the Camera Check Channel (CCC). There is a lot of flexibility with the 808 PureView’s large sensor and Carl Zeiss optics. Even after having my 808 for a month, I am still learning how to best utilize all of the camera options and usage scenarios [...]
Raid kills bugs dead. Seems like Accenture emptied an entire CAN of Raid on the VERY REAL HSPA+ bug that terrorized Nokia 808 PureView users worldwide. Here is a little back story via a true and emotional comment that I wrote over at AllAboutSymbian: Pardon my openness, I was at my wit’s end with no hope of a solution [...]
It appears that there’s another update is available for the Nokia 808 PureView, this time including some new widgets: WebView – a window into any live website. You can have more than one webview widget over multiple pages, refreshing each time you view a homescreen. There’s a livetile app like this but I think [...]
A couple of Lumia comparisons from NokNok. First up comparing the N8 against the Nokia Lumia 720. http://www.noknok.tv/2013/04/22/nokia-lumia-720-and-nokia-n8-photo-hands-on-comparison/ Followed by the Nokia Lumia 620 against the hyperbudget Nokia Lumia 520. http://www.noknok.tv/2013/04/23/nokia-lumia-520-nokia-lumia-620-photo-camera-hands-on/ The 520 does a respectable job, lacking really in just the LED flash (to help drive the price down).
We’ve been told that there’s a new update pushed for the Nokia 808 PureView: telephony update wifi update and youtube gallery update Cheers Sandy for the tip
Hello MNB readers! We all know how revolutionary the 41MP Sensor, Carl Zeiss lens and PureView algorithms are in the 808 but there is still an obvious area of improvement: Image Stabilization. More specifically, Optical Image Stabilization, or OIS, where the actual optics are stabilized by the hardware. The Lumia 920 was the first phone to have [...]
Hello MNB Readers! As some of you may know, I finally purchased a Nokia 808 PureView a few weeks ago and I said I would post a few articles about my experience with it and other Symbian related topics. Here is a rundown of my experience with the 808 over the last 2 weeks. First and [...]
It’s always funny when websites have no idea what they’re doing and try to do some fancy Photoshop and screen rendering effect; well here’s some sort of bank slapping Symbian on a galaxy S3. I wonder how it would perform on those hardware specs?
Quick heads up on a very interesting read by Jo Best on ZNET. I have only managed to glance the first few paragraphs, it’s definitely one to finish. Jo looks at the history, the golden years, and the downfall of Symbian. There’s also some discussion over S40/Meltemi, S40′s limitations and the ongoing threat of [...]
We got a heads up from Hexpoll that the Nokia 808 PureView is on Amazon for about 360USD. I’m not sure which listing as there are a few, with one going at 349.99USD (That’s only 227GBP). Nokia 808 PureView Black Factory Unlocked 41MP GPS If you’re a US-based Symbian and Photo fan and are still [...]
1) In Deaconclgi‘s post earlier today on the Nokia 808 PureView, reader, dss shared some images also taken by the 808, showing all other smartphones just how to take a picture. The shots in this post are merely screenshots. Go check the links out yourself. It’s another set of images that makes you go and [...]
