Struggling phone-maker, Nokia will be launching its 808 PureView phone equipped with a 41 megapixel camera in India and Russia this month according to an official statement from the company.

Nokia 808 PureView won accolades and awards at the Mobile Phone Convention in Barcelona earlier this year and is equipped with PureView technology which allows it to capture really sharp images. The phone is equipped with a 41 megapixel camera. According to Nokia’s press release the first markets to begin selling the Nokia 808 PureView include Russia and India.

The smartphone comes with a large, high-resolution 41 megapixel sensor camera, powered by high-performance Carl Zeiss optics and new pixel oversampling technology.

The release states, that at high-resolution 38 megapixels maximum, the phone will allow users to capture an image, then zoom, reframe, crop and resize afterwards. This means that it’s possible to shoot professional images that were only possible with a DSLR with the smartphone. It also allows users to make the best of low-light conditions while taking pictures with their phone.
