Nokia 808 PureView camerphone won't sell for Rs. 29,999 in India

Nokia has said that its 808 PureView camerphone will not be priced at Rs. 29,999, after various media reports pointed out the price of the device mentioned in the “source code” of Nokia 808 PureView page. Nokia adds that the price mentioned in “source code” is a dummy pricing meant for its designers and the actual price of the device will be announced at the official launch.

According to reports, forthcoming Nokia 808 PureView camera phone will be priced more than Rs. 29,999. The device, which went for pre-order in Italy last month, was priced at Rs. EUR 599, which is roughly Rs. 40,000. The PureView is likely to be launched in India later this month.

The 808 PureView cameraphone was first unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) earlier this year. The Nokia 808 PureView features an extra-large 41MP sensor, along with high-performance Carl Zeiss optics and new pixel oversampling technology. Along with a maximum image resolution of 38MP, the Nokia 808 PureView’s camera sensor condenses 7 adjacent pixels into one, downsizing it to an extra-sharp and light-sensitive 5MP or 8MP image. Max image quality at 4:3 aspect is 38 MP, while at 16:9 aspect is 34 MP.

Other specifications are - single-core 1.3GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 16GB built-in storage, USB-on-the-Go, Bluetooth 3.0, HSDPA 14.4Mbps, HSUPA 5.76Mbps, Wi-Fi N with DLNA, GPS and A-GPS, stereo FM radio, and even NFC connectivity.
