Nokia has finally launched the much awaited, jaw dropping camera mobile, the Nokia 808 PureView in India for Rs. 33,899. The new device will be available for purchase from the Nokia retail stores and also from Nokia Online stores.
Nokia has been teasing the launch of Nokia 808 PureView device in India for a long time now, and the device was expected to launch in India on June 6th according to a teaser website, but it did not happen since the website mainly concentrated on cracking a story for the PureView launch. But Nokia has now brought the device to the Nokia fans in India, and the device is available for a price that’s slightly higher than it was expected.
The gigantic 41-megapixel sensor phone, which sports a Carl Zeiss camera amazed the audience during the launch, when they got their hands-on with the device. Nokia also previewed how the PureView technology came into picture, and also, the company aired an ad, that was completely shot with the PureView device. Even though the device runs Symbian, some of the key smartphone features like MMS, email, and also we loved the camera app that comes with the device.
Talk to Vipul Mehrotra, Director and Head of Smart Devices at Nokia India says:
“Nokia 808 PureView stands for industry leading innovation – it represents Nokia’s highest level of smartphone imaging experiences and marries it effectively with Dolby’s cinematic sound experience, resulting in a smartphone that has set new standards in mobile technology.”
Mr. Vipul also added:
“Nokia is a full line player with focus across product lines. Our aim is to bring innovation at every price point, be it the Asha series or the Lumia devices. We would look at taking the Pureview technology, which has taken five years to develop, across categories,”
The overall music experience has been satisfying, and Nokia’s partnership with Dolby is expected to grow to the Lumia devices too in the near future. Overall, the device is a worthy buy for the camera, but we were not pretty impressed with the Symbian OS. But fortunately, the company is also planning to bring the PureView technology to Windows Phones.
