Engadget on Nokia 808 PureView ”New Benchmark for Mobile Imaging” (+Vs iPhone and HTC OneS)

Now this explains why Engadget’s Nokia 808 PureView sample post consisted of merely 2 lines. They just wanted to share the images first and then discuss it later in a separate post. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/05/24/slashgear-and-engadgets-nokia-808-pureview-galleries/ Mat Smith from Engadget takes a look at the Nokia 808 PureView’s capabilities, comparing it even with the iPhone 4S and the [...]

Engadget have brought together, what seems to be, their own sample pictures from the Nokia 808 PureView. I’m not quite sure who was tasked with taking the photos but they did decently enough. Going through the whole gallery, you can even see some of the 808 PureView team (though I don’t know how to look [...]

Filing this under ouch. The Nokia 808 PureView is priced at Nokia Italy, SIM Free at 599 EUROS. Approx 480GBP. http://www.nokia.com/it-it/prodotti/telefoni-cellulari/808/acquista/ That’s a little more expensive than what we’ve heard for UAE. The price is listed at the same retailer we saw back in April. We had expected the price to come down a bit, [...]

The most interesting of which is the fact that “Nokia Carla” Which was supposed to be the successor to Nokia Belle is no [...]

The above image shows a firmware update for the Nokia N8 seen in Spain at Navifirm. Looking closer, you can see it says 111.30.610. An unfamiliar firmware. (Cheers Antti for the screenshot).

Nokia 808 PureView, creative long exposure ND filter photos.

| May 22, 2012 | 38 Replies

  Neutral Density filters are sometimes used sometimes used to prevent over exposure by reducing the amount of light that enters the lens. Useful outdoors in bright sunlight. Often, it would be seen on big DSLRs to achieve motion blur on slow shutter speeds/longer exposure times.  I believe the key Nokia phones have had ND [...]

Nokia 808 PureView pre-booking at UAE

More signs of Nokia 808 PureView pre-ordering at UAE according to Jeevan.  As seen before, the booking cost is 500AED, with total unit cost of 2149AED. Both black and white are available. 2149AED is roughly 369GBP. I think they have to be careful with that 41MP thing. 41MP Sensor is fine, but it doesn’t output 41MP. Cheers [...]

Quick tip, anyone itching to get their hands on the 808 can now register online via Nokia India to preorder/be informed once it’s available; frankly I’m surprised it hasn’t launched yet in India, but from what I understand the first countries to get it will be the MEA region (Lebanon, Jordan…)- first time we ever get [...]

  Screen replacements. Or any type of phone disassembly. This is NOT something I would recommend anyone try. But I have come across plenty of people who have said they’ve had to replace screens themselves so I guess there will be people out there who might find this useful. e.g. if you smash the screen [...]

This is an interesting looking theme. We’ve seen plenty of iPhone style themes and skins for Nokias but I think this is one of the better ones – it’s also nicer than a ‘skin’ because it works with the actual phone UI. It’s just coloured/themed to look more like iOS. Now that might make some [...]
