We Are About To Get Nokia 41MP Cam-Phone

by PrimeNokia - on Jun 15th 2013 - No Comments

The innovation and diffusion of innovation in field of smartphone is now atop of all news. There always goes a tight fight and high competition in this field. Now what is the good news now is the tag of war between Samsung and Nokia regarding their OS (operating system). The battle of OS has now been the hot topic and matter of speculation among the smartphone lovers.

Nokia-808-PureView-41MP-camera-phone

Going out of this trend this time tag of OS war is now the matter of great concern. Looks like smartphone-makers have now ditched the software war and are focusing on the camera. Just yesterday on June 14, 2013, Samsung has introduced the camera-special version of Samsung Galaxy S4. This specialty has been titled as the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom. The phone is available with a 16 Mega Pixel camera comprises of optical zoom; zoom lens and xenon flash that is not the salient feature of a smartphone but the significant feature of a cam-phone.

Nokia, the largest selling mobile company from Finland, till now held the position of the cam-phone maker with the Nokia 808 Pureview. But the record was broken with the introduction of Smasung. As the consequence Nokia is ready to take the revenge. It is not willing to take Samsung’s attack lying down. Immediately after this introduction and only a day after the lunch of the camera intensive Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom Nokia has invited a press conference for an event to be held on July 11.

The not very mysterious text on the invite just reads: ZOOM REINVENTED. “Now unless Nokia is planning to enter the camera market, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what the invite is all about. Nokia’s next camera intensive flagship has been in the rumors since sometime and with the invite, Nokia has set the rumors to rest.”

With Nokia EOS we can safely place our bets on Nokia EOS that will come with a complete PureView experience. It is just like the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom that came with an external zoom lens. But as it has been told and suggestion we get from leaked images we can say the zoom lens of Nokia EOS. But the advantage is that Nokia EOS is much smaller and compact than the bulky Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom. It looks very good and dependable. This surely has chance to gorge on the goodies.
