Nokia 808 PureView packs a 41MP camera

The camera of the Nokia 808 Pure View has placed the Finnish manufacturer a new pixel record: forty-one megapixels of resolution, it proposes itself expensive full-frame SLR cameras. The huge number of pixels is not used to taking pictures of huge images - the maximum adjustable image size is 38 million pixels (7152 × 5368) - which are 41 megapixels used to zoom in without loss in the photo or video, and by calculation noise and distortion of the optics. Nokia calls this oversampling.

Nokia Lumia 900 in first test

The Lumia 900 with 68 x 128 millimeters somewhat larger than its sister model Lumia 800, but not with 12 millimeters thick - making it even seems subjectively somewhat slimmer. Otherwise, the models look very similar. Both are stuck in a noble, a block made ​​of polycarbonate enclosure. The matte finish feels very high quality and a little reminiscent of the first iPod minis. In the appeal, but the similarity ends there, the Lumia is 900 with its high-contrast 0.3-inch AMOLED touch screen 4, definitely "maxi". The display is protected by scratch-resistant Gorilla glass.

Nokia Brings entry-level model Lumia 610

Nokia expands its range of Lumia smartphones with Microsoft operating system Windows Mobile 7.5 (Mango) from continuing. After Lumia 710, 800 and the new top model Lumia Lumia 900 now follows the basic model Lumia 610th The 131 grams lightweight phone with 3.7 inch display (resolution, as with all Windows phones: 480 x 800 pixels) speaks to the younger audiences.

Nokia's first Windows Mobile 7 devices first in six EU countries

Symbian OS is Nokia's undoing, and the same in several respects. After having taken over for 250 million euros on the platform broke with the release of Apple's and Google's Android iOS a difficult time for the old-fashioned system. Symbian recently announced it dead and transferred all responsibilities to a service company that is now taking care of the Symbian fleet.

After all, Nokia had already opted for a long Neuanfag: Windows Phone 7 This seems in light of the fact that all the world relies on the powerful Android OS and Windows Mobile 7 is in these days of the biggest-sellers, a little odd.

Nokia's Windows Mobile 7

But in Finland it has made ​​the decision that they would not engage in Android, because there simply would lack the unique selling points - probably true, at least if one's unit is Rooted from the manufacturer's software remains very little. Therefore, the Finns joined together with colleagues from Redmond to its mobile operating system also could not sell so well. This alliance will strengthen both now and to position Windows Mobile 7 on the high end market. We may incorporate Nokia's own Ovi services such as Maps, the store's own and other adjustments, while Microsoft and Nokia has probably the best handset manufacturers in the hand, there was.

Very interesting is the marketing strategy, Nokia has planned. Thus, the first devices will first appear in the EU, specifically in Germany, France, Belgium, Britain, Spain and the Netherlands. Ironically, Finland is not among the countries that have access to Nokia's first Windows Mobile 7 devices. What's behind it can be difficult to assess. Much more important than the partner countries, the launch of Nokia devices themselves thus confirmed that even in 2011 the first units will be available - this time we are likely to come before the Americans the benefit of brand new hardware, it will be fascinating.

Nokia: Symbian OS in use by 2016

Slowly, Nokia plans to separate from the operating system Symbian, although it still even in some models of the higher-lying segment is utilized. Accordingly, Nokia will focus on Windows Mobile 7, but the support and updates to the Symbian platform will be guaranteed at least until 2016, as announced Nokia chief Steven Elop. As quickly would you give up despite the long construction not on the Symbian OS operating system. How quickly the Finnish company would divest it has always been unclear.

Furthermore, shared with Elop on the Chinese Nokia Conversations blog that you want to focus in the coming years not only to the serious errors in the operating system. The investment in the platform is expected to continue as long as, as well as the support is given for it. As several of Symbian models will be presented in parallel to the appearance of the first Windows phones from Nokia and out, a possible example of this could be the next Nokia N9. But mainly it comes to smart phones they would rely on the cooperation with Microsoft and use the Windows Mobile platform.

In 2016, one could therefore expect the funeral of the time was so successful Symbian OS. Other manufacturers such as Siemens, Motorola, Panasonic and Sony Ericsson also put some time no longer on the platform. Initially, Nokia via cooperation with Intel trying a new operating system based on Linux called MeeGo to develop the project, however, was canceled due to delays on the part of Nokia.

Nokia: Windows phones with ST-Ericsson U8500 Dual Core

In the style of Apple's rivals, whose operating systems execute only on certain hardware hack is not, Microsoft has to be carried away on his mobile operating system to create strict requirements for the equipment. Whereas in the past always had to Qualcomm SoCs are used one has apparently been suppressed in the new major partner Nokia one eye and this allows for the use of "foreign"hardware.

Specifically, these are a dual-core SoC of ST-Ericsson, a joint venture consisting of STMicroelectronics and Ericsson. The ST-Ericsson U8500 has two ARM Cortex A9 core and is clocked at 2x 1.2 GHz. For the graphics department, a responsible Mali draws 400, also made ​​by ARM. Apart from that, it supports the inclusion of HD video and camera sensors up to 20 megapixels.

Exact information is currently not yet, but next year will appear a total of 12 Windows Mobile smartphones on base, some of them with Windows Mobile 8th Whether it put all the new phones on the ST-Ericsson SoC is still unclear, possibly even the first models set to a version of Qualcomm.
