Nokia will reportedly add its 41 megapixel PureView sensor to the future entries in its Lumia range of Windows Phone-based smartphones.
Sources close to the Finnish manufacturer told The Guardian that a new model featuring the technology, known as the EOS, will launch in the US this summer.
The sensor’s omission from the current flagship, Nokia Lumia 920, has been curiously noted by observers who believe that it could have been a key hardware differentiator. The Lumia 920 did feature the ‘floating lens technology’, a gyroscope that detected uneven hand motion and moved the camera mechanism to compensate. Confusingly, this was also called PureView.
The aim of the sensor is not to produce massive photos, but to improve image quality of photos taken in poor light thanks to pixel oversampling techniques. The actual size of pictures taken by the 808 PureView was actually around five megapixels, with redundant pixels used to improve the quality.
