Sorry, did you just say 41-megapixels?
Yes, that’s right. But this combination isn’t about shooting pictures the size of billboards! Instead, it’s about creating amazing pictures at normal, manageable sizes. There’s a combination of benefits.

The technology means that taking typically sized shots (say, 5 megapixels) the camera can use oversampling to combine up to seven pixels into one “pure” pixel, eliminating the visual noise found on other mobile phone cameras. On top of that, you can zoom in up to 3X without losing any of the details in your shot – and there’s no artificially created pixels in your picture, either.

Otherwise, you can use ‘Creative Shooting Mode’ to capture images at high resolution – 38 megapixels; then reframe, crop and zoom to find the best “picture within the picture” after the image has been shot and before saving it at convenient sizes for sharing and storage.

dafuq!?? i want oneeeeee.............

Putting aside the mechanics on how it gets 41Mpixel but has a far worse quality than an 8Mpixel DSLR, for a camera phone the samples found on GSMA are very good IMHO, though images you get when you use the phone may vary, but still Im impressed. The N8's camera was not really amazing but this one is good!

[blu bizcuitz]

it is symbian...last symbian phone

[flipee]

n8 camera was simply amazing, and this is 10x better than n8. i dont like the design of the phone though and puol na ang symbian OS.

[SioDenz]

mahal sad ni dah.

[flipee]

around 25-30 daw.. di ko mopalit ani. pero if its reviews will be good, maybe that would make me change my mind.

[neoripper]

kamahal ra pud kung 25-30 ang kani nga phone. Dapat unta upgraded na ang OS nga gi gamit.

[arf2]

sa ako wa ko kau nag prob sa os haha d man sad ko lingaw sa mga games mainly for text call lng ug a little fun this phone would be awsome

[CRAZYFISTS]

strategy wise gyud kau ang nokia d man cla mo top end sa os,daogon nila sa hardware and it really gives u a reason to crave for one....but soon i think apple and htc would consider as top as this sensor do,coz they dont sell cameras unlike sony,samsung and lg.. d na mahalin ila mga digital cameras..hehe
