Get ready to take 41 MP image with Nokia 808 PureView

Nokia, the most popular cellular phone brand few months back, seems to be back in the race. On the opening day of ongoing Mobile World Congress being held in Barcelona, spain, Nokia unveiled its 41 megapixel sensor phone Nokia 808 PureView, which runs on Symbian Belle operating system.

As per Nokia, this will not be the only phone with this feature as Nokia is planning to introduce the same technologies into other handsets in the future too.

The high-density sensor comes paired with a Carl Zeiss lens and new pixel oversampling technology. The heavy weight sensor will allow the smartphone to shoot high-detail images at standard 5 and 8 megapixel resolutions while still providing the super clarity of large 38 megapixel images that users can crop down as needed. The high-resolution sensor also means that the phone can record 1080p HD video with 4x digital zoom with no loss of detail.

Not only 41-MP sensor, 808 PureView will also come equipped with several multimedia enhancements, including a Nokia Rich Recording, which enables audio recording at CD-like levels of quality. It also packs Dolby Headphone technology and Dolby Digital Plus for 5.1 channel surround sound playback.

Equipped with 512MB of RAM and 16GB of storage using a microSD, the 808 PureView can be expected to be launched in May 2012.
