Camera functionality
Image Capture
This is probably the best feature that a phone can ever have, a huge 41 mp camera enabled with Carl Zeiss technology and powered with Xenon flash light. This is indeed is more like a camera with a phone. However, let is focus upon the facts rather than what is more obvious to the eye, the user can clearly shoot a 38 or 34 mp image resolution by this camera. The technology behind this camera is that of Carl Zeiss with 5layers of glass to help capture hi-quality images. Therefore, overall it is more like an image sensor than an actual camera to be precise technically.
The images shot via this 41mp camera or image sensor will be a visual treat, natural life like color and clear images. Shooting in dim light or poor light is now relatively easier as the Xenon flash comes in handy to help capture images when the lighting conditions are not favorable.

If you are using the mobile browsing then you may be disappointed by the slow performance. The functionalities of pinch and zoom are not well supported. To be able to experience good browsing you will require installing Opera Mobile or Mini, this will help you get through with basic browsing through mobile. As far as apps are concerned with 512MB these are rather sluggish in loading.
Multimedia capability
When it comes to the multimedia capability, the performance of this phone is not any better than predecessor. The music player is good in both the modes (landscape and portrait). The landscape mode has more functionality to offer including the album scan. You can easily store music and videos with its 16GB memory. Nokia 808 PureView is supportive of almost all the audio formats, so, now you need not worry about file conversion.

For all those who love listening to FM with RDS will be more than happy with the technical aspects and the capacity to deliver clear sound and Dolby music output. Of course, you will still need to plug in Dolby enabled headphones for experiencing the same. Flicking among stations is easy with simple finger touch.

Therefore, now you can easily put on the speaker functionality for listening to loud music or turn it on to get the feel of owning a music device.
