At standard resolutions (2/3, 5 and 8 megapixels) this means the ability to zoom without loss of clarity and capture seven pixels of information, condensing into one pixel for the sharpest images imaginable. At high-resolution (38 megapixel maximum) it means the ability to capture an image, then zoom, reframe, crop and resize afterwards to expose previously unseen levels of details.

A 41 megapixel sensor in a phonemade the world sit up and take notice of whats going on at Nokias end and in a nutshell, theyve managed to wow us all. The camera and the optics on thePureView are nothing that you will find on your existing smartphone. In a time gap of 0.09 seconds between two snaps, the dedicated GPU was working like a charm behind the scenes.

Nokia has managed to simplify the camera interface as well withthe bare necessities and if needed, additional customizations can be enabled aswell, making it quite appealing to beginners and professionals, alike. Theres 1080p at 30fps, time interval shooting (for timelapse videos), instant sharingto Facebook, 38 megapixel shots and an option to choose between 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios. With the PureView, Nokia has also introduced lossless digital zoom and it worked like a charm on the phone. The viewfinder doesnt exactly zoom into the image, but shows a cropping rectangle on a smaller section, allowing you to go to different levels of zoom based on the megapixel shot you have chosen. Zoomed in shots had such an immense amount of detail that we had to try it for ourselves to see if it actually worked as shown. And boy oh boy, were we impressed with the 808! And mind you, this was just the prototype. So, if it does, it's only going to get better.

Back to the images part, here are a couple of things we managed to grab. An ant in motion, a flower tinier than our thumb, macro shots of rust on a battery and a couple of leaves with sunlight in the background. The detail, colour capturing, ability to focus, depth of field was second to none.
.
.
After fully zooming into the images, we noticed there was little to zero noise capture inthe dark areas. Overall, this easily surpasses all the other camera phones in the market right now, including the Xperia S we reviewed earlier.
With the Nokia 808 PureView, the camera megapixel race is officially over. Or has it just begun?
