Nokia 808 PureView

Camera specs are what set this phone apart from anything else in its era. The Nokia 808 PureView packs a 41 MP sensor (38 MP effective) with Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, and a Xenon flash, plus a 1/1.2 inch sensor size that was huge for a phone at the time. It shoots stills at 7152 x 5368 and records 1080p video at 30fps with lossless digital zoom, something few devices could match on paper.

Everything else on the spec sheet is modest by comparison. A 1.3 GHz ARM 11 chip and 512 MB RAM run the show, paired with 16 GB of internal storage and microSD support up to 32 GB. The 4.0 inch AMOLED display sits at 360 x 640, and Nokia Belle OS handles the software side rather than Android or iOS.

Battery capacity is 1400 mAh, on the small side even for its time, though the low-res screen likely helped stretch it further. Nokia 808 PureView price in Malaysia starts from RM1010. It comes in Black, White, and Red, and still carries NFC, GPS, and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n for connectivity.
