Nokia has been out of the limelight after Apple came out with their iPhone and Android smartphones came out. Nokia tried to relive their glory days by coming out with their first and only MeeGo handset the Nokia N9. Again, it failed to bring them back on the top. They came out with the Nokia Lumia 800 and still, Apple and Android phones are outshining Nokia. Everything changed when Nokia introduced its newest handset during the Mobile World Congress 2012 (held in Barcelona Spain). All eyes are on the unveiling of this powerful camera phone. I am talking about the new Nokia 808 PureView. Let’s try to find out more about this powerful camera phone and why it was able to put Nokia back on the right track. Read on!
We all love to use our phone’s camera. It doesn’t matter whether we are using a VGA camera or high-resolution 8 or 12MP camera on our handsets. But then again, sometimes we do wish that our phones are pre-installed with higher resolution so we can start taking pictures and capturing videos like professionals. Even though, we will never be able to match their shots at all. Now, can you imagine a handset that is equipped with a powerful 41MP shutter with Carl Zeiss optics and Xenon flash? Yes, your eyes are not fooling you. I am talking about Nokia 808 PureView’s powerful camera. This is the first handset to ever boast a high-resolution camera. You will be able to enjoy it at 7152 x 5368 pixels. The handset also features 1/1.2″ sensor size and up to 4x lossless digital zoom. Imagine all of these on a smartphone? It’s just purely amazing.
What is more, with this handset you will be able to enjoy the latest Symbian OS the Nokia Belle. Enjoy the phone’s powerful processor at 1.3 GHz ARM 11. You can also choose from three different colors: Red; Black; and White. When it comes to the phone’s memory, I am sure that you will find it enough for all of your files. The phone ship with 16GB worth of storage space and you can have as much as 32GB more via the phone’s microSD card slot. It also comes in with 1GB worth of ROM and 512MB worth of RAM.
The features I’ve mentioned above are enough to put Nokia back on the right track. I can truly say that the Nokia 808 PureView is the most powerful camera phone ever.

Nokia and Symbian still number one in China - The Register
Android may have an insurmountable lead in the Chinese smartphone market, but when it comes to internet-connected mobiles Symbian and Nokia are still number one according to new stats from search giant Baidu.
The company’s latest quarterly Mobile Internet Development Trends Report for Q1 2012 measured only internet-connected phones which have browsed the web through Baidu.
Discarding the category of ‘other’ which came out tops on both counts, the breakdown by brand shows Nokia in the lead with 22 per cent, counterfeit or shanzhai products with 16.1 per cent and Samsung third with a share of 10.4 per cent.
Apple is fourth with 5.9 per cent, which tallies with Analysys International’s estimates that iOS had a smartphone market share of 5.7 per cent by the end of 2011.
The times they are a-changing, however, with Nokia at risk of losing that impressive lead if it doesn’t innovate and produce more smartphones that appeal to users, said Baidu.
It may need more than the recently launched Lumia 800C and the planned 610C to do this, especially given the fierce competition in the smartphone market.
One strategy would be to target the entry-level, which is set to provide great growth opportunities for handset makers in China. In fact, with domestic giants such as Huawei, ZTE and Lenovo all set to launch in that area, the days of shanzhai manufacturers could also be numbered.
“Nokia’s mobile market share continues to drop, with 5.8 [per cent] decrease month-by-month and 18.4 per cent drop year-on-year. Shanzhai phones’ market share is also steadily decreasing, with 4.3 per cent decrease month-by-month and 10.3 per cent drop year-on-year,” said Baidu.
Over on the platform side, Baidu hasn’t broken the results down in English but TechInAsia has a handy translation.
Android is surprisingly down in fourth place with a share of 14.4 per cent, despite an overwhelming lead in the pure-play smartphone market of around 70 per cent, according to Analysys International stats.
Discounting ‘other’ again, number one spot goes to that old classic Symbian S60, with 17.2 per cent of the Baidu-surfing market, followed by MTK – an OS favoured by shanzhai handset makers – with 16.7 per cent, and then the nondescript ‘feature phone’ with 16.1 per cent.
Apple’s iOS is fifth with 5.8 per cent, just a percentage point higher than Symbian on the S40.
All of which proves that while the smartphone market is where most Chinese users are headed, the majority are still on much more basic handsets, according to IDC research manager Ian Song.
“The biggest thing to consider here is that China is still predominately a feature phone market. Based on our sell-in numbers, feature phones made up 75 per cent and smartphones made up 15 per cent of the total PRC mobile phone market in 2011,” he told The Reg.
“Going forward, IDC believes that feature phone brands and OSes will speed up in decline as smartphones becomes cheaper and more useable in China.” ®
