Nokia will start rolling out the Nokia 808 PureView smartphones in just a few days now, says the Finnish handset-maker. The first markets to begin selling the Nokia 808 PureView include Russia and India.

Jo Harlow  (Head of Smart Devices, Nokia): We’re going to carry on developing PureView for our future smartphones in ways that will again revolutionize the imaging experience.

The Nokia 808 PureView features a 41 megapixel sensor with Carl Zeiss optics and pixel oversampling technology. In addition to still imaging technology, the Nokia 808 PureView also includes full HD 1080p video recording and playback with 4X lossless zoom and Nokia Rich Recording.

Nokia Rich Recording enables audio recording at CD-like levels of quality, previously only possible with external microphones. The Nokia 808 PureView also features exclusive Dolby Headphone technology, and Dolby Digital Plus for 5.1 channel surround sound playback.
