A Pure Leap
It was not too far back when a 5 mega pixel camera on a phone seemed out of this world. Now technology is taking leaps instead of steps and Nokia just took a big one. The Nokia 808 PureView has just taken tha game to another level with its 41 mega-pixel camera.
The average smartphone currently has a 5 mega-pixel -12 mega-pixel camera and no one has really been complaining. Now that Nokia has taken a leap to 41MP, are they changing the game or just getting ahead of themselves. The device is a capable smartphone but besides the camera can it keep up with the rest. 16gb of internal memory, 512 RAM, 1.3 GHz it is rather quite standard in the current market. In a world of dual core and quad core phones on the rise, the device lacks in several ways. It is certainly no contender for iPhone 4S and even the Sony Xperia S.
Nokia might have wanted to invest their splendid camera on a more powerful device like their Lumia series phones. For a 41MP camera each photo is roughly 10MB, so with apps, music and games in mind 16GB is rather small amount of space. So hopefully nokia will put a similar camera in a more powerfull and bigger device sooon.

I'm techno savvy myself and a 41mega pixel camera phone is rather bizarre, especially on a device that's not so powerful considering it's full specs, I mean at 1.3GHz CPU, that's a rather disappointing speed. While u have competitors like the Sony Xperia X, with a dual 1.5Ghz, not forgetting Asus' new innovation, the Padfone, (killing to birds with one stone) a device that’s both a phone and a tablet at the same time. I see it (Padfone) competing with the new Apple iPad – (ok maybe that's wishful thinking) but that's something Nokia would have at least had in mind while designing this 41mega pixel dull phone. My view is, while u design a new product, at least research what's out in the market so you come up with something as competitive, more especially coming from nokia, I mean they have been in this game for so long, I trust them to know this by now, but hey that's just my opinion.
