Spot the pattern: Nokia Lumia 1020 hangs out with 808 PureView and N8

Spot the pattern Nokia Lumia 1020 hangs out with 808 PureView and N8

Since Nokia’s released yet another phone with a big camera, we thought it’d be fun to let this Lumia 1020 meet its glorious pixel-loving forerunners. These are, of course, the 808 PureView and the N8 that bucked the trend of phone photography during their time. In terms of sensors, the 1020 comes with a new 1/1.5-inch, 41-megapixel BSI sensor, which is smaller than the 808’s 1/1.2-inch, non-BSI offering of the same resolution. Still, both chips are understandably larger than the N8’s 1/1.83-inch, 12-megapixel sensor, which may sound less exciting but was well ahead of its time. We’ll try and get some sample shots from each of these in a moment for a quick comparison, so until then, enjoy our hands-on photos below.

Nokia rolling out Symbian Belle Refresh with new web browser, home screen widgets

Good news for Nokia owners, as the company has begun the phased rollout of Symbian Belle Refresh. First and foremost, the OS update brings a new web browser with support for HTML5 web apps. Users will also discover new home screen widgets, and for those who’ve yet to snag ’em, Microsoft Office and Nokia Maps Suite 2.0 are also made part of the update. Symbian Belle Refresh is supported by the Nokia N8, E7, C7, C6-01, X7 and Oro, and will also include new imaging apps that are specific to the N8. The vanilla version of the software is now available, and Nokia expects that operator and country specific updates will be up for grabs in the coming weeks.
