41 mega pixel camera phone?

Nokia recently made a shocking announcement - they're marketing a 41MP camera phone, the Nokia 808 PureView.

"The Nokia PureView Pro imaging technology is the combination of a large, super high resolution 41Mpix with high performance Carl Zeiss optics. The large sensor enables pixel oversampling, which will be explained in detail in this paper but in a nutshell it means the combination of many pixels into one perfect pixel. PureView imaging technology is the result of many years of research and development and the tangible fruits of this work are amazing image quality, lossless zoom, and superior low light performance."

It's a Europe-only release. But, who knows ... Check out the technology here.

Enjoy.
