Nokia 808 PureView

yeah the article states that they are doing it by using some algorithm but i still think the actual camera wud be around 12+mp. and then upscale it using algo by 3x. upscaling 8mp to 41 wud be difficult i think. considering its Nokia even a 12mp by them wud be miles ahead of the competition.

upscaling a pic ? what good its gonna do ? I am confused....:uncomfortableness:

from what i have read and understood it indeed has a 41MP sensor. they are not upscaling, but instead downscale the image

The Nokia 808 uses a 41 MP sensor, which captures image data from seven adjacent pixels and condenses it into one, resulting in stills at around 5 MP resolution with amazing detail and low noise levels.

apparently u get boasting rights and a gigantic sized image.
upscaling (interpolation) is usually achieved by adding pixels to a image and coloring them based on the surrounding pixel color to increase the pixel count. u cud usually do that 3x-4x hence i assumed 12+mp camera.

a 41mp sensor is not the same as a 41mp camera. since they are consolidating 7 pixels in 1 the image quality shud be fantastic. at first i actually thought they are using s/w to produce tht crazy numbers.

i think the camera itself is just around 7-8 megapixels. rest is done using a software. this is just PR billshitgiri.
no, it has 41mp sensor

Why was everyone laughing when the presenter said 41MP sensor?

wait for Q4

Well it depends on how the original sensor quality is @ 41mp. A small sensor with so much cramming of MPs would definitely not be of a very high visual quality. The reason why a 8MP dlsr quality is way better than a 14MP point&shoot. Well will have to wait for some real pics taken by the camera .... i mean phone.
