We’ve been bringing readers plenty of news about the Nokia 808 PureView, the smartphone offering a significant 41-megapixel rear camera. Although release dates for some regions have slipped a couple of times we have news today that press invites report that it will launch in India on June 13.
Plenty of people have been waiting for the Nokia 808 PureView although apart from its impressive camera set up the rest of the specs and features are not exactly anything to write home about. It was first shown at MWC earlier in the year and the camera capabilities along with PureView Pro imaging technology got a lot of people pretty excited. Previously we told of a rumored price for the Nokia 808 PureView in India and that price is still thought to be around Rs. 30,000 although that has yet to be confirmed.
News of the June 13 Nokia 808 PureView debut comes to us from NDTV and we’ll give you a brief recap of features and specs of this smartphone. The 808 PureView has a 1.3GHz single-core processor, 4-inch AMOLED ClearBlack display with resolution of 360 x 640, 512MB or RAM and 16GB internal storage (expandable with microSD).
