Nokia announces 808 PureView for America

Blair McClelland June 20, 2012 Mobile, Smartphone

Nokia could have chosen a better date for their own Monday press conference considering Microsoft's announcement of the Surface tablets, but what is done, is done. Yesterday, the falling giant announced that their 808 PureView camera-phone is destined for the US market. It will be available for $699 (roughly the same price as Samsung's Galaxy S III) from Amazon and will work just fine on AT&T and T-Mobile.

The Nokia 808 PureView will soon be available in the US for $699

The 808 PureView was one of the stars of the show at Mobile World Congress in February and as a quick recap its main feature is a 41 MP sensor combined with a Carl Zeiss lens and a Xenon flash that manages to offer impressive picture quality and up to 4x lossless digital zoom. It has a 4 inch (360 x 640) AMOLED display but unfortunately runs on Nokia's proprietary Symbian Belle OS.

KitGuru says: All we can say is that we hope that Nokia's PureView technology comes to their Windows Phones rather soon.

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.
