Nokia’s Amazing PureView Camera Coming to Windows Phone
It looks like Nokia is working on a Windows Phone that will include the vaunted PureView camera, which is powering Nokia’s comeback attempt. The Verge, which broke the news, expects the upcoming phone to be a Lumia with an aluminum body. The codename for the new phone is EOS.
Nokia first started getting attention for its excellent phone camera with the Nokia 808 PureView last year. The camera has a 41MP sensor and Carl Zeiss lens, and is widely accepted as a high-quality camera for a phone. But the 808 PureView runs the Symbian operating system, which is a deal breaker for many customers. Given Nokia’s long-term commitment to Windows Phone with its Lumia line, it makes sense that the struggling phone maker is pairing its best feature with the well-known, fast OS. The main beef that many customers had with the 808 was speed, which shouldn’t be a problem with the new OS.
The Nokia 808 PureView is got a lot of props for its camera, but its outdated OS held it back. With Nokia planning to put the camera on a Windows Phone, things are getting interesting.
