Nokia has said that it will begin rolling out its Symbian-powered Nokia 808 PureView to “select markets” in May, initially launching the 41-megapixel handset in Russian and Indian markets, The Next Web reports.
Having been unveiled in this year’s Mobile World Congress, the 808 Pureview won awards for its impressive optics and ability to capture incredible amounts of detail in its photos.
The company noted at the time that it would look to launch the device as soon as possible but it has today confirmed that it will be available in two of its most popular markets from this month.
The device sports a 4-inch 16:9 nHD (640 x 360 pixels) AMOLED screen, 1.3GHz single-core SoC, 512MB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory. However, the Nokia 808 PureView is obviously going to attract attention for its high-resolution 41-megapixel sensor with Carl Zeiss optics and its ‘new pixel oversampling technology.’
Recently, the company launched a new marketing campaign, sharing a new promo video on its YouTube account that was created using video and image stills taken using the smartphone itself.
Nokia is said to be working to incorporate its PureView technology into its future Windows Phone smartphones, expanding the capabilities of its Lumia range.
