If they could release this software and this camera in 2007, just around the iPhone the mobile market would be very different today. Honestly this is not so laggy like the N8.
Aaaah this camera made me feel like a badass in weddings and parties standing next to my friends with their mirrorless cameras. ND filter, Zeiss optics, insanely pure pixels, super large sensor, Xenon flash, .. I could write an entire book about how much this phone was everything! This may be my last Nokia phone but it’s the perfect swansong of Nokia and my love for the brand since I got my nokia 5110 in the late 90s. Good times. 🍻
I still consider this to be the last unadulterated product from Nokia. The Lumia s that came later are more Microsoft than Nokia. Really miss the age of Nokia feature phones
The smartphone world got stunned when 808 was announced with a huge 41 mp sensor back in 2012..Had a great memories using that..Still giving tough to many smartphones
Not only that, this sensor is still technically much superior to your average 40+ MP sensors made today. There are very few sensors today that are better, and usually found on only the most expensive of flagships
@@AbdullaZaki Yes, most of todays phones still have a small sensor. Too bad Nokia failed. They should've never done the deal with M$ and instead improve Symbian. I still miss having Nokia battery life, I remember having 3-4 days with a 5800 express music on the latest FW while iPhone users already had to charge every day.
This device's camera could probably still rival today's smartphone cameras. It's an iconic Smartphone. I wish if Nokia releases a 2021 version of this Smartphone then it would be impossible for other manufacturers to beat and would easily rival the likes of iPhone 13's, Galaxy S21 Ultra, Sony Xperia 1 Mark iii, etc.
Actually it won't. In ideal conditions it will come close to the quality of modern flagships but ideal conditions are not always... Ideal. So overall it will lag behind them but not by much and not because it's bad but because technology has advanced since 2012. Lenses have become nore complex, bigger and software has started to play a huge roll into phone photography.
@@DeyanIliev-mi9zq yes sensor, lenses and software has come a long way since then but still todays smartphones have doing lot of over processing which eventually end up with very unnatural, unpleasing looking images.
@@yash_kambli Depends on who you ask. The average consumer for example doesn't care or mind. They want the photos to look good to the eye and they themselves to look good when taking set photos. If that means a bit more contrast here or over saturation so be it.

And obviously pro photographers just use specialized cameras not smartphone ones. So yes there is a lot of software touching up when it comes to modern phones but it's not always bad. For example the pixels for photos and iphone for videos.

Of course the N8 was really amazing and I love it to bits even today (can't for the life of me find where I stowed it away though).

Not only do I still have one, I have all three colors. Unfortunately I no longer use my 808 to take pictures. No, that responsibility goes to my awesome Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, soon to be the Mi 12 Ultra that I just pre-ordered. So now my beloved Nokia 808’s have joined the rest of my Nokia’s, on display throughout my house inside of custom cylinder glass cases, in which I own an unhealthy amount of as I own an insane amount of tech that I loved throughout the years, including a lot of Nokia phones. I mean I have the Nokia 2520, a Windows RT tablet that I purchased as a bundle with the awesome Nokia 1520. Communicator, I own them all, including the E90, E7, E75, N97, N900 and the N950 Dev phone. Though my favorite Nokia business phone was the E72, in which I had immortalized by also buying a Vertu Constellation Quest. On a side note, I love Vertu, in fact I just bought the new iVERTU in Calf Leather Caramel Brown. It’s the same with my Porsche Blackberry P'9981, I just had to have it to honor the Blackberry Phones that I had loved and used for so many years. This also included the 24K Gold BlackBerry Passport Edition. Talking about gold, I also own every gold edition Nokia ever produced, even the Oro. Though it was the Gold Nokia 6700 that stole my heart.
if there's a phone like this in my country that available in the market i will surely buy it. I love nokia forever. still now my nokia 1208 is still alive and I'm still using it as a daily drive phone..
i still have this nokia 808, its already 10yrs with me. comparing to the new smartphone today this beast will prove its features especially the camera sensor
Nokia was really known to go all out and do as much as possible....that's what HMD needs to do even now...atleast bring one flagship which may be higher in price bt has crazy features especially in audio, camera and some software tweeks held within brackets of android one
I have one, but can't make it start. Love the camera quality and I still use my N8 , photos are always perfect in the auto mode and still have very professional setting options.
808 IS LEGENDARY LAST NOKIA PHONES ! I STILL OWN IT AND USE IT LIKE 10 YEARS AGO ! THE CONDITION OF THE DEVICE IS VERY GOOD 4/5 ! CAMERA AT THE TIME WAS UNAVAILABLE FOR THE COMPETITION ! WELL DONE ZAKI ! 👍
Yes, absolutely mostly using manual - c1, c2, c3, creative mode. Yesterday i was shot same scene with p20pro and Nokia 808 pureview, and pictures from 808 was way better, clearer, noise free images almost looks like from entry level DSRL 🙂👍
Even night shots from 808 are very good, when shooting on tripod, when zoom the night shots from 808 and Huawei p20pro, shots from 808 are almost noise free, and p20pro are noisy, artificial looks compared to 808🙂🤔
It really focused on quality media. Would be nice for a modern version. Maybe the Sony Xperia Pro-i is the closest thing, but that trades off motion capture focus excellence but you then need the lower quality telephoto lens to zoom in
I remember having a Nokia back in 2012, I have no idea what model that was. And one thing I won't forget is that it's camera was very good during that time.
I have a black one and i still open it from time to time and make it daily the wifi transmitter is somthing i wish more company will implement in their phone, + the camera is a beast
Well well well nostalgia is back 808 pureview had some really different colours and options as limited editions.I don't remember the name but one of them is McLaren edition maybe not sure
I was able recently to buy one to see what it is about. I feld in love with it. I am going the oposite way of modern phones, leaning back to blackberry classic, Nokia E72 and recently updated my collection with Nokia 808 and 1020. I enjoy more 808s photos but 1020 has raw photos, that are double of 808s size, meaning better for editing. Literally, I prefer this 2 phones over all modern cameras in phones, that uses destructive Ai. Just to compare, for example photo of Samsung Galaxy Ultra 20 is about 10 - 16mb, 808 is 20+mb and 1020 40mb+. Also Ai destroys absulutly detail of photos. This is personal opinion, but I think if you zoom in gallery photo taken with modern phone, it is just discusting result. To compare with 808 and 1020, has just beautiful weight in the photos and zoom. Literally it is like taking photos with dlsr cameras. Main downside of 1020 is that the colours are kinda off, but that can be easy edited.
Loved reading your insight. I wish the older devices could be updated to just run some basic modern apps or even a usable web browser. I'd be rocking one as a daily then
I'm also always amazed when transferring pictures taken with the 808 and 1020 to a PC and viewing them on a big screen. So much details, such pleasant and clean processing too.
Damn, I miss Rich Recording. No phone has THAT recording quality nowadays. I still bring my Lumia 950 for concerts and clubs, No distortion at all. I couldn't afford this phone back in the days, but my father still uses my legacy Nokia N8. Miss those camera innovations :(
Nokia should relaunch this masterpiece. That time people were not ready for this, but now we know almost everything. Nokia need to relaunch this with some other features.
i borrowed that kind of phone way back 2013 with my friend.. i try to shoot the rotating ceiling fan .. even the ceiling fan rotate so fast.. still that phone take a good shots on every profeller like looks the fans stops..i was amazed back then on how good that phone on its cams
this phone set the standard in mobile audio recording, it does not distort with heavy bass. Most expensive modern phones ( iphone 13 pro) definitely compete with audio capturing ability but my currently broke ass still uses this to capture live footage.
If they could release this software and this camera in 2007, just around the iPhone the mobile market would be very different today. Honestly this is not so laggy like the N8.
They never went for top of the range hardware back then which is why the N8 and the E7 struggled.

Even night shots from 808 are very good, when shooting on tripod, when zoom the night shots from 808 and Huawei p20pro, shots from 808 are almost noise free, and p20pro are noisy, artificial looks compared to 808🙂🤔
It really focused on quality media. Would be nice for a modern version. Maybe the Sony Xperia Pro-i is the closest thing, but that trades off motion capture focus excellence but you then need the lower quality telephoto lens to zoom in
I remember having a Nokia back in 2012, I have no idea what model that was. And one thing I won't forget is that it's camera was very good during that time.
*Micro HDMI port 😊 Favorite phone of all time! 🧡
A proud Nokia 808 PureView owner here 💪😎
I have a black one and i still open it from time to time and make it daily the wifi transmitter is somthing i wish more company will implement in their phone, + the camera is a beast
fm transmitter was such a cool feature :)
@@AbdullaZaki and still is , you can basically run it in any car old and new ones
Well done, thank you for this review
My pleasure!
Love NOKIA
This phone is king of that days
Well well well nostalgia is back 808 pureview had some really different colours and options as limited editions.I don't remember the name but one of them is McLaren edition maybe not sure
I need this phone
Aaah I now know 1020 lumia is next... its the successor of the pureview
I was able recently to buy one to see what it is about. I feld in love with it. I am going the oposite way of modern phones, leaning back to blackberry classic, Nokia E72 and recently updated my collection with Nokia 808 and 1020. I enjoy more 808s photos but 1020 has raw photos, that are double of 808s size, meaning better for editing. Literally, I prefer this 2 phones over all modern cameras in phones, that uses destructive Ai. Just to compare, for example photo of Samsung Galaxy Ultra 20 is about 10 - 16mb, 808 is 20+mb and 1020 40mb+. Also Ai destroys absulutly detail of photos. This is personal opinion, but I think if you zoom in gallery photo taken with modern phone, it is just discusting result. To compare with 808 and 1020, has just beautiful weight in the photos and zoom. Literally it is like taking photos with dlsr cameras. Main downside of 1020 is that the colours are kinda off, but that can be easy edited.
Loved reading your insight. I wish the older devices could be updated to just run some basic modern apps or even a usable web browser. I'd be rocking one as a daily then
I'm also always amazed when transferring pictures taken with the 808 and 1020 to a PC and viewing them on a big screen. So much details, such pleasant and clean processing too.
Damn, I miss Rich Recording. No phone has THAT recording quality nowadays. I still bring my Lumia 950 for concerts and clubs, No distortion at all. I couldn't afford this phone back in the days, but my father still uses my legacy Nokia N8. Miss those camera innovations :(
The best camera system on a phone to date, period.
This video is nostalgic
*Nokia N8 & 808 Pureview both are legendary phone. I've Nokia N8. 😍*
1st mobile according to me which had Dolby playback with recording and mini HDMI
I hope they put that sensor on a modern phone these days
Nokia " its all about uniqueness, durability and capability"
Nokia should relaunch this masterpiece.
That time people were not ready for this, but now we know almost everything.
Nokia need to relaunch this with some other features.
thank you brother
i borrowed that kind of phone way back 2013 with my friend.. i try to shoot the rotating ceiling fan .. even the ceiling fan rotate so fast.. still that phone take a good shots on every profeller like looks the fans stops..i was amazed back then on how good that phone on its cams
*The best phone ever*
Legendary phone ❤️
this phone set the standard in mobile audio recording, it does not distort with heavy bass. Most expensive modern phones ( iphone 13 pro) definitely compete with audio capturing ability but my currently broke ass still uses this to capture live footage.
still my favourite phone ever
Bro when i was a kid i used to dream about owning one
Nokia Was the Real deal back then, everyone else was too lazy to do such Epic innovations. 🙂🙂
my camera..used it from the day it was available until 2 years back !!!
i have this bad boy 808 I love it no phone camera can beat even now days i tested all big phones but my old bad boy beats all.
I still have this phone❤
Still by far one of the best looking phones
This is the best plastic phone I've ever held. Quality wise.
My favorit!
We need that camera button in today’s gen smartphones
That UI is so nostalgic
I still have it. In running condition. It still takes more authentic pictures than my Mi 11 Ultra in optimal lighting condition.
Tbh I really like design of 808. I wish it was released in two SKUs, one with PV camera and other with N8 camera so it would be flat lol.
Ive always wanted to own this phone, now that i have some money ill definitely buy it
A really tough oldie ... a beast still today . Please nokia release a pure view in 2021 it will destroy every phone today and even after 10 years also
