Nokia Pureview 808: Injustice to the 41MP camera

It has a 41MP Carl Zeiss camera and it has won the "Best new mobile handset" Award at the Mobile World Congress 2012. It's the all new Nokia PureView 808.

I love the fact that this phone can get me a 9meter wide portrait of me with my girlfriend. Wouldn't it be wonderful to paint your wall with the smiles you care about with a device in your pocket!

But is the current technology scenario ready for 7728x5368 sized mammoth images.
Let's see the things gone wrong with the PureView:

Symbian Belle

Symbian OS should have been long buried into the deepest corners of the Pacific for the following reasons:
1. Too slow.
2. Developers try to avoid it.
3. Very less quality apps.
Instead if Nokia sticked to the Windows platform, it's success would have been written in stone. It would have the beauty of Windows to showcase the 41MP beast to the world.


1400mAh Battery


Common guys, is that much battery enough? Not at all!
I own a Galaxy Note which has a 2500mAh battery and I still hate that it sucks up the juice too fast. Considering that Symbian Belle is not so much resource hungry, but keeping the camera app on for a few minutes will considerably eat up the battery. And processing those huge pictures would surely require hell lot of power.


16GB internal + 32GB SD:


I don't exactly know the average image size of the PureView, but it surely is greater than 8MP images from Galaxy Note. Considering you get 12GB internal storage to use(rest is taken by the OS) and a 30GB SD makes a total of 42 GB to use. Since the phone is made considering the camera, we are doomed to keep clicking or shooting. The space doesn't seem sufficient to store those special moments you share with your friends and family.

Wish that Nokia packs the PureView technology with its Lumia range.
Anyways, that was Nokia going Insane with the Camera. Thank you guys.
Leave your opinion, share it with the world.
