In one of the highlights so far of the Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona, Nokia lifted the lid on the 808 PureView, a smartphone featuring a high-resolution 41 megapixel sensor.

Nokia sets a new industry standard with the first in a range of high-end experiences based on exclusive Nokia PureView imaging technologies.

Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this morning saw the unveiling of the Nokia 808 PureView, a phone which features a large, high-resolution 41 megapixel sensor with high-performance Carl Zeiss optics and new pixel oversampling technology.  

It is the first smartphone to feature Nokia PureView imaging technologies, bringing together high resolution sensors, Carl Zeiss optics and Nokia developed algorithms, which will support new high-end imaging experiences for future Nokia products. According to Nokia, it "ushered in a new era in high-end smartphone imaging".

At standard resolutions (2/3, 5 and 8 megapixels), it has the ability to zoom without loss of clarity and capture seven pixels of information condensing into one pixel for the sharpest images imaginable.  At high-resolution (38 megapixel maximum) it means the ability to capture an image, then zoom, reframe, crop and resize afterwards to expose previously unseen levels of details. With superior low-light performance and the ability to save in compact file sizes for sharing in email, MMS, and on social networks, the Nokia 808 PureView makes it possible for anyone to capture professional looking images in any conditions.

In addition to superior still imaging technology, the Nokia 808 PureView, also includes full HD 1080p video recording and playback with 4X lossless zoom and the world's first use of Nokia Rich Recording.  Rich Recording enables audio recording at CD-like levels of quality, previously only possible with external microphones.

The Nokia 808 PureView also features exclusive Dolby Headphone technology, transforming stereo content into a personal surround sound experience over any headphones and Dolby Digital Plus for 5.1 channel surround sound playback "Nokia PureView imaging technology sets a new industry standard by whatever measure you use," said Jo Harlow, executive vice president of Nokia Smart Devices.  "People will inevitably focus on the 41 megapixel sensor, but the real quantum leap is how the pixels are used to deliver breath-taking image quality at any resolution and the freedom it provides to choose the story you want to tell."

We generally pass on random phone rumors, but PocketNow seems to have scooped something that sounds awfully tasty. The LG X3 (codename) will supposedly have a Tegra 3 quad-core processor, a 4.7-inch 720p screen, an 8MP camera, and NFC. Um, yum?

It will supposedly launch in the first half of this year with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) on board. It's also said to have a serious 2000mAh battery under the hood, and 3G/4G radios will vary by region. It's possible that we'll see this thing unveiled at MWC this year. Or maybe it will dissolve into thin air. I think that's less likely, though, because 2012 is looking like it'll be the year of the quad. [PocketNow via Phandroid]
