41 million pixels for the Nokia 808 into focus

Nokia has just released the 808 is the world's first camera smartphones PureView technology. It may become a family of Symbian (Symbian) Finally a flagship camera phone. The main hardware configuration: 4-inch capacitive touch screen, Material of AMOLED, with the CBD, for nHD resolution; 1.3GHz processor; 16GB internal storage, support for MicroSD card expansion slot; certification of Carl Zeiss (Carl Zeiss) optical lens; large-size sensor, 41 million pixels; Nokia original pixel sampling techniques; equipped with Bella (Belle) the FP1 system (improvement) original Bella systems, to do; weight of 169 grams.

This unique sampling techniques are: the coordination of hardware and software, combined with unique algorithm, so that a "Pure" pixels separated into 7 pixels.

I asked the Nokia Staff: "This is What kind of ideas?"

His answer was interesting: "We do not want to cause an arms race in the camera, just in everyday applications, the consumer does not need to print a substantial advertising posters, so the significance of the high pixel exactly where? Is that after shooting a distant object , and then amplified the interception of which one. "

In other words, Nokia do not want to use the optical zoom lens to increase the thickness and weight of the phone, turned to take another digital zoom.

 "Pixel-for-zoom"

In the official press release, we can see this description:

This camera can shoot 1080p resolution video rate of 30 frames / sec, the period can be used four times lossless zoom (equivalent to a small piece cut from the large-size sensors). 720P resolution six times "lossless zoom; 12 times lossless zoom" nHD (640 x 360) resolution.

Ready before the period of "pure shooting scenes" trailer, you can see the vision of the 808 shooting and close-range, which is "lossless zoom" effect. No optical distortion, did not seem too much noise, it really is an advanced digital zoom means.

"Only the pixels on the incorrect

Of course, the digital camera system is definitely not only able to measure the pixel index. Is like saying that Hasselblad is the H4D-50, with 50 million pixel sensor. This Kodak sensor to 36 x 48 mm, double the existing 135 full frame sensor and equipped with a range of support to focus and lock technology, the price of sets of machines can be sold for more than two hundred thousand.

Nokia 808 apparently can not be used with Hasselblad, but this mobile phone is enough Nokia "do not take the unusual way".

Nokia approach has been recognized by consumers, believe that other manufacturers will follow. A variety of "Do Level" hundreds of millions of level "phone posters, but also far away from us.

Bella the Feature Pack 1

The 808 equipped with Bella (Belle) Feature Pack 1 version of the system, compared with the original system of Bella could not see any surface changes. In fact only make a fuss on the system stability, performance optimization.

Nokia 700 , 701, 603 users can upgrade to this version of FP1 in the summer. But earlier, E7, C7 and N8 are not the upgrade services.
