Smartphone Nokia 808 has 41m pixel for camera

Nokia 808
41 million pixels! That beats all other smartphones, click-n-shoot cameras, and DSLR cameras (except for few Hasselblad cameras known to us).

To compare, iPhone 4S has 8m, so is Samsung Galaxy S II; a latest click-n-shoot camera usually has 10-12m, Canon’s flagship DSLR 1DX has 18.1m, Nikon’s flagship D3X has 24.5m, but damn it this hard-as-rock, indestructible Nokia cellphone has 41m!

Check out some of its amazing sample images.

One thing is for sure, if you have this phone, there’s absolutely not a single point to carry a click-n-shoot camera. Perhaps a DSLR still has its way, but why carrying a click-n-shoot camera when your cellphone has way better image quality and the ability to share photos instantly?

Next time when Tim Cook introduces iPhone 5, his voice will go down and skip quickly when mentioning its resolution, and you’ll go “meh”; people will boo when Samsung Galaxy S III is released with an 8m camera. I don’t even know how click-n-shoot camera companies have enough self-respect to release anything if they don’t at least enter into a similar ball-park figure.

The questions now are: is Nokia going too far on this resolution thing? Will customers buy it just because it has superior photographic function? Will there be enough customers to even know or care about this? (Ask your friends what resolutions their cellphones have, many of them probably don’t know or aren’t sure of it).

What do you think? Let us know below.
