Nokia 808 PureView makes sense

A few people have argued that the 41MP sensor on Nokia 808 does not make sense. According to such people current 8MP camera phones already offer great picture quality that they do not see any imaginable improvement that bigger pixels can offer. They claim that Nokia should focus on improving its user experience rather than come up senseless features.

My answer is that by shifting to Windows Phone, Nokia is already working on the user experience front. Symbian has reached its prime and there is very little juice that Nokia can squeeze out of it. It is also important for such critics to appreciate the fact that Nokia 808 PureView is a successor to a prestigious camera phone, the Nokia N8.

It makes a lot of sense that a top camera phone like the N8 is replaced by an equally marvellous camera phone that will keep the crown for long. The Nokia 808 PureView is surely a worthy successor for the Nokia N8.
