Nokia 808 PureView - user opinions and reviews
MihaiPopa16, 24 Jan 2025Ok. Nokia 110 (2023) is a joke of a phone. Trash QVGA camera with no focus and flash is decent... moreHMD could have good keypad mobiles with Android version on name of Nokia.
Flip one with around 3-3.4 inch of screens, side sliders with full qwerty with screen of around 5-6 inches.
At least people could have choices of different versions of mobile.
At least other companies might fall for it to invent similar kind of mobiles with better hardware.
And HMD definitely could have earned more and could have established in better marketing position thant what they are now.
Actually this is the phone for re-release with exact same hardware and android go version with WhatsApp and banking app support.

Ok. Nokia 110 (2023) is a joke of a phone. Trash QVGA camera with no focus and flash is decent for taking photos if you put in a specific location and angle. Worse for taking video. Decent OS with no browser and NO app store/way to install apps.
Maybe for Christmas I put Nokia 808 PureView on white/black on the checklist. Red also looks very good.
Great photos, great video quality. 41 MP sensor with WAY better quality than any recent Nokia's garbage. Can film in 1080p at 30 frames per second. Way ahead of the Nokia's recent junk.
From what I saw in the review, it has a smooth experience with the Gallery app for example, even if this has a whopping 512 MB of RAM. Take the iPhone 7 for example, which has 2 GB of RAM or the iPhone XS, which has 4 GB of RAM, or even the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which has A WHOPPING 8 GB of RAM!
And I like Nokia's Belle OS, it's like Android and WAY smarter than the OS that's using in Nokia 110 (2023)'s junk phone.
Such 2012's nostalgia, I wish if Santa has the phone to give to me as a gift.
And screen resolution is still pretty great for a tiny display that I can still see so sharp, man this phone IS WAY AHEAD of the recent Nokia's garbage.
If this has Romanian on it, I will take it and daily drive this thing. Because it is WAY better in any category than the recent Nokia's junk phones. Has great camera quality, has great OS, has browser, 3G (not too slow, but not too fast, it's pretty decent if you watch YouTube on it at like 360p quality).
Overall, the most perfect phone for myself. I will enjoy it. 2012 is the most perfect time for phones like this.

While it may lack the advanced image processing capabiltes of today's phones, that 1/1.2" 41MP sensor is absolutely no joke.
I mean, look at this photo:

Both were taken on the 808 (found these pics on dpreview). They look so high quality and so professionally shot for a phone in 2012.

Unfortunately, this was the last symbian phone ever made.

Bought this in 2013, the first Pureview. Phenomenal 41MP camera with xenon flash. All the bells and whistles. "The Last Symbian". I held on to it for 11 years. Some scratches here and there, but still working perfectly, nothing broken. Then HMD announced that they will stop using the Nokia brand. So I bought the last Pureview, Nokia X30. One would think that in 11 years, the camera technology would have progressed far and beyond from its early beginnings. But no. The X30 is better, yes, but not 11 years better. As their last phone legacy, HMD/Nokia should have made a proper re-release of this dream phone. Nevertheless: thank you Nokia, for all these years.

Does anyone know if there is any application that can further reduce the screen brightness beyond what is allowed by default?

Angga, 31 Oct 2023This phone is far ahead the competition at that time.
I remember that I still can't quit... moreAll that from a phone with 1.3ghz single core processor and 512mb ram
IOS and Android.... Go f$#k yourselves....
We're all being ripped off by incremental updates that implement planned obsolescence, remove features then bring them back as "innovation", and continue to give us form over functionality (glass sandwiches with titanium is not improving the real world strength).

I eventually got an unopened Latin American version (I'm in Aus) in the box in 2015 & loved every minute using it as a daily driver for about 18 months.
It survived about 10 - 15 of the same waist height & above drops that killed my Sony & 1 phone since & the 808 is still working fine.
I just did a clean install of cfw mohican & tried tienda sisstore to download the maps but the website is dead.
Does anyone know where to find off-line maps anywhere?
