hey everyone it's anton from pocket now the apple iphone 4s and the samsung galaxy s3 as well as the HTC One X according to some are the best camera phones on the market we have eight megapixels eight megapixels and eight megapixels in total 24 megapixels here but still 17 megapixels shy from the Nokia 808 PureView which has a 41 megapixel sensor I like to call it a camera with phone functionality we have it here in our labs we're going to unbox it review it so stay tuned and let's get to it so here we have the Nokia 808 PureView of course you have to disregard the butchering which was basically made by my customs authority because this is a phone which is coming from the States so it's outside of the European Union but that aside we have the basic blue carbon box which is standard for Nokia phones we have the Nokia 808 PureView branding on the side with pictures of the phone and it's strange that the first picture you see and also the second one are pictures of the phones back and that's exactly because the camera is the main selling point of this phone flipping it over to the back you can see that the box contains the phone battery manuals charger headphones and USB cable and of course the first feature here is the 41 megapixel sensor and the curled size optics together they both form the PureView technology we have a four inch AMOLED ClearBlack display we have xenon flash 1.4 gigahertz processor and 16 gigabytes of internal storage now let's get the obligatory Swiss Army knife and let's get this open so let's get to it let's open the box and we are greeted as usual by the phone itself we'll put it to the side just for one second let's take a look at the battery the battery is one of 1400 million powers we'll see how much battery life and real-life usage that offers we have some usual manuals with some NFC instructions here we have the wall plug which is us standard I'll have to use an adapter for that we have your headphones which are in ear headphones noise-cancelling we have a lanyard you can wear the phone strapped to your wrist and we have the standard USB cable for syncing and charging let's put everything to the side and let's take a look at the phone itself let's take it out of its bag and I have to tell you straight from the beginning that this has some pretty hefty it's pretty heavy weights for for a phone without its battery introduced let's compare it to the Samsung Galaxy s3 the Apple iPhone 4s and the HTC One X we have one happy family here everything on one frame probably the best camera phones on the market at the moment we have 8 megapixels 8 megapixels 8 megapixels and we have 41 megapixels here so if we add up all the megapixels on the HTC One X galaxy s3 and the Apple iPhone 4s we're going to be still 17 megapixels short - the Nokia 808 PureView now in terms of thickness really there's no debate here if you can see it's one to probably three times as thick as the Samsung Galaxy s3 if we take a look at the hump where the camera is and that's exactly what we're going to take a look at right now let's just take the iPhone out of the frame and this is the main attraction of the phone this is the Carl Zeiss lens and of course the 41 megapixel camera sensor together they form the PureView technology we have dual xenon flashes four flash firing while shooting pictures and we have an LED flash for assistive light while shooting video now on the top of the phone on its front we have a speaker grille and of course the sensors the 4-inch ClearBlack AMOLED screen we have three buttons which are hardware buttons on the side we have the volume rocker for volume up volume down we have the screen lock slider here and the two-stage camera shutter button nothing on its left at the top we have a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack USB port and micro HDMI port for mirroring and that's pretty much it the bottom holds a microphone and the back holds the camera as mentioned plus the speaker which you can see right about here nothing else on the phone will power it on get back to you once we have booted now the 808 has 16 gigabytes of internal storage but you can also expand it via a micro SIM card of course pictures taken in full resolution 41 megapixels they will be huge in size so you want to add a micro as the expansion card as soon as you get this one open and this is the slot for the Micro SIM we have just installed that we don't have anything else just let's insert the battery which pops in like this and we have the battery cover with the NFC antenna on the plastic itself so let's pop it back in its place like this and let's see the first boot of the Nokia 808 PureView let's just zoom in a little bit just like that there we go nokia logo and as you can see the clear black screen really shines you see male backlight bleeding the black is really black and while it's working we need to mention that this phone has a 1.3 gigahertz processor it runs Symbian Belle has 16 gigabytes of internal storage and of course the camera which is the main selling point probably everybody will talk about the camera and neglect the phone there we go with the nokia boot animation so I would rather regard this Nokia 808 PureView as a camera with phone capabilities rather than a smartphone with a huge camera attached but we will take in-depth look at every aspect of this phone stay tuned to pocketnow.com follow us on pocket now tweets check us out on Facebook this is Anton the united front pocket now thank you very much for watching and we will be back soon with more details with the Nokia 808 PureView
