Slimline Nokia PureView phones on the way
Nokia's 808 PureView features a whopping 41MP camera, but cramming those Carl Zeiss optics into a smartphone means it isn't exactly svelte. But Nokia's going to put PureView on a diet, revealing to Engadget that it's considering plans to create slimmer phones using the PureView brand.
Now, making a slimmer PureView phone would mean ditching the 41MP camera that's the hallmark of the 808 PureView – but Nokia would still use the same Zeiss optics and oversampling techniques to make other PureView phones worthy of the name.
Nokia's keeping schtum on the possibility of a Windows Phone Lumia PureView. But let's be honest, it's pretty much a dead cert – future PureView phones are unlikely to come packing the 808's outdated Symbian OS.

The reason that this phone is on Symbian, or even exists at all is because it's the OS that can handle it. Windows just doesn't have the power or processing ability to handle anything like this. True Pureview will ultimately end up in Windows phones but this ground breaking technology is only possible because of the British designed OS that is Symbian.
Outdated? You obviously haven't used Belle Feature Pack 1 which is on a par with any OS out there. But hey I'm wasting my breath right? Cos you're more concerned with the phone being slimmer........ Please.
