If they could release this software and this camera in 2007, just around the iPhone the mobile market would be very different today. Honestly this is not so laggy like the N8.

The smartphone world got stunned when 808 was announced with a huge 41 mp sensor back in 2012..Had a great memories using that..Still giving tough to many smartphones

Aaaah this camera made me feel like a badass in weddings and parties standing next to my friends with their mirrorless cameras. ND filter, Zeiss optics, insanely pure pixels, super large sensor, Xenon flash, .. I could write an entire book about how much this phone was everything! This may be my last Nokia phone but it’s the perfect swansong of Nokia and my love for the brand since I got my nokia 5110 in the late 90s. Good times. 🍻

It's crazy when you think this phone was basically 9 years ahead of its time. We just now have 40 MP cameras with these kind of sensors.

This device's camera could probably still rival today's smartphone cameras. It's an iconic Smartphone. I wish if Nokia releases a 2021 version of this Smartphone then it would be impossible for other manufacturers to beat and would easily rival the likes of iPhone 13's, Galaxy S21 Ultra, Sony Xperia 1 Mark iii, etc.

i lovvvvvvvvvve this phone . still have it in black with perfect shape

Preordered mine 808 and picked it the first day of launch, it has served me many years and still running strong as I keep it alive. Original battery! Nokia thank you for making this concept phone a dream comes true. With 41mp data to process at a click of shutter buttom, that imaging processor is a beast!

Not gonna lie, Symbian was epic and Nokia always had the most unique design ideas and so on

So far ahead of it's time. Loved that phone

My favorite camera phone, the colors and sharpness are naturally soft without much interference by the software. it is still useful today

I also own one, and couldn’t be any less proud of having used it in its heyday! Let’s hope Nokia comes back with its true successor✌️

I still have my Nokia 808, it was a gorgeous and feature packed phone for its time.

Thank you for reviewing all Nokia products Mr. Abdulla Zaki...

I absolutely love all of these retro reviews from your channel man. Keep up the great work!

seeing the video from my nokia 808, i m from Syria and i searched 3 years for one in a very good shape

If you notice, the modern day MI 11 ultra took design inspiration from this phone. Just look the back of both phones in white color.

Thank You So Much Dude, Ur Awesome ... Love Nokia

I owned an N8 since they launched and remember when I saw thst the 808 came out this was the natural and best upgrade the N8 can have (as in N8 2.0) BUT the N9 was.. The future. MeeGo had what it takes to blow away the competition but nlNokia were struggling back then so sadly it never was.

I loved symbian Os, very underated in my opinion.

Great job analysing the camera... Keep up the good work...

The father of all camera phones ❤️

Totally agree! I still have an 808 in white and the phone would still work, except ATT blocks it now (3G). As to the dimensions, well it is far more comfortable to hold in the hand than any of today's slabs... period. Wrt the screen resolution, it was only an issue when looking at the hi-res pix on the phone, for everything else the brightness combined with pure black tech made it the standard, still is IMHO. Oh, don't forget Symbian Belle supported widgets, e.g. the mail app showed new emails as they arrived and the window was scrollable.

Exactly like mine! What a beauty!

This video is just viral.. great job man

Well done, thank you for this review

Not only do I still have one, I have all three colors. Unfortunately I no longer use my 808 to take pictures. No, that responsibility goes to my awesome Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, soon to be the Mi 12 Ultra that I just pre-ordered. So now my beloved Nokia 808’s have joined the rest of my Nokia’s, on display throughout my house inside of custom cylinder glass cases, in which I own an unhealthy amount of as I own an insane amount of tech that I loved throughout the years, including a lot of Nokia phones. I mean I have the Nokia 2520, a Windows RT tablet that I purchased as a bundle with the awesome Nokia 1520. Communicator, I own them all, including the E90, E7, E75, N97, N900 and the N950 Dev phone. Though my favorite Nokia business phone was the E72, in which I had immortalized by also buying a Vertu Constellation Quest. On a side note, I love Vertu, in fact I just bought the new iVERTU in Calf Leather Caramel Brown. It’s the same with my Porsche Blackberry P'9981, I just had to have it to honor the Blackberry Phones that I had loved and used for so many years. This also included the 24K Gold BlackBerry Passport Edition. Talking about gold, I also own every gold edition Nokia ever produced, even the Oro. Though it was the Gold Nokia 6700 that stole my heart.

It was *THE* camera phone. Elop, as I remembered back then, did launched it half heartedly. I didn't have that luck to had it... By the way the setting of colour, sharpness and contrast is there in Xiaomi phones.

I had this phone way back in 2012. Took a lot of photos. When viewing it today, it feels like it was taken yesterday. I had the best quality photos from a cameraphone that was made way back in 2012. This is the holy grail of cameraphones!

Using mine daily. Although my P30Pro is no slouch in mobile photography, I prefer 808 camera in most of situations. Plus. I just happen to like Symbian and hate Spydroid. Migrating to Harmony OS soon.

i still have this nokia 808, its already 10yrs with me. comparing to the new smartphone today this beast will prove its features especially the camera sensor

I was kicking myself when this was announced. Because just a month back I had bought the Nokia N8 with the first incentive on my first job! Of course the N8 was really amazing and I love it to bits even today (can't for the life of me find where I stowed it away though). But the imaging prowess on this was next level, which was my main consideration in going for the N8 over the E7 in the first place.

I think I should buy Nokia 808 PureView as a second phone. 😍🤩

Best phone ever!! 😍 My fav. If Nokia is listening hope they get it back...

This was ironically my last Nokia phone. The major problems were charging and battery issues. Since it had micro USB port it was nightmare to charge this device. Thankfully I had E5 as the secondary device and fortunately both phones have similar capacity battery. So I have to swap them back and forth to charge them . The problem was back panel of both the phones lost their grip. 808 was accidentally dropped which aided in complete destruction of charging port and E5 well it died with time. Both phones are still somewhere in my house.

Most beautiful smartphone ever 💙 2011

This is the perfect exams of the thing that nowadays phones are crap . Phones were best at that time.

It's time for 2nd gen 808( hope so). Mimicking only the hardware design can fire up the brand again.

thank you brother

Looks so good and still feels great to hold.

I have one, but can't make it start. Love the camera quality and I still use my N8 , photos are always perfect in the auto mode and still have very professional setting options.

Thank you. You responded to my request for Nokia 808 review. This is my dream Phone.. I request you again for the review of Nokia E6 ,the ultimate QWERTY keypad and TOUCH Phone...😎😎

Thank you for bringing back Nokia

I love your nostalgia content

Literally my biggest dream is the return of dedicated camera button to Nokia phones

THIS TREASURES YOU HAVE 😍

if there's a phone like this in my country that available in the market i will surely buy it. I love nokia forever. still now my nokia 1208 is still alive and I'm still using it as a daily drive phone..

How much I love this phone 😍...I had the black one I wish I could have it again

Nokia was really known to go all out and do as much as possible....that's what HMD needs to do even now...atleast bring one flagship which may be higher in price bt has crazy features especially in audio, camera and some software tweeks held within brackets of android one

Pre Elop Nokia was so awesome, the phones were so awesome. I had all the N devices except the N8

you have explained very well

808 IS LEGENDARY LAST NOKIA PHONES ! I STILL OWN IT AND USE IT LIKE 10 YEARS AGO ! THE CONDITION OF THE DEVICE IS VERY GOOD 4/5 ! CAMERA AT THE TIME WAS UNAVAILABLE FOR THE COMPETITION ! WELL DONE ZAKI ! 👍

Legendary phone ❤️

dammm i miss nokie so much...plz release the new version 808 pureview

I still have this phone❤

It really focused on quality media. Would be nice for a modern version. Maybe the Sony Xperia Pro-i is the closest thing, but that trades off motion capture focus excellence but you then need the lower quality telephoto lens to zoom in

Can't scroll down without seeing this

my nephew saw me watching this video and was like thats an among us phone. i just smiled at him

My favorit!

*Nokia N8 & 808 Pureview both are legendary phone. I've Nokia N8. 😍*

i borrowed that kind of phone way back 2013 with my friend.. i try to shoot the rotating ceiling fan .. even the ceiling fan rotate so fast.. still that phone take a good shots on every profeller like looks the fans stops..i was amazed back then on how good that phone on its cams

My dream phone...

hi Abdulla, I'm a huge old nokia phones fan and your work of course...where can I get this phone from, I would like to buy it for sure

This video is nostalgic

amazing ♥️♥️

The audio recording on this device is pretty amazing. Take it to a concert and you wont be disappointed

miss you nokia

I need it!

Wish I could have it for my use today for free...Great Fan of Nokia...

I remember having a Nokia back in 2012, I have no idea what model that was. And one thing I won't forget is that it's camera was very good during that time.

I WAS THE USER OF NOKIA 701. And Nokia 808 is the upgrade version of 701 I see. And can't wait to have this sexy phone.😲😲😲😲

Thank you

I have a black one and i still open it from time to time and make it daily the wifi transmitter is somthing i wish more company will implement in their phone, + the camera is a beast

Love NOKIA

N808 users can check the Delight Custom firmware. Version 1.5, 1.7, and 1.8 bring updates to the phone and there is also the Sistore app, with which you can get a lot of Sy!Brian apps. You should do a review of the Delight software, Abdullah!!

still my favourite phone ever

I still have it. Works perfectly fine along with N8, E7 slider keyboard. I switched to Android only after WhatsApp stopped supporting Symbian. That os is out of the world . Smooth kinetic scrolling.. that too with a weak cpu. Vivo boast of dedicated image processing chip. Nokia got thay ages before. The best stereo HAAC mic ever on all pureview series. Powerful xenon flash Ability to switch infinity, hyperfocal lens setting Inbuilt ND filter Exposure bracketing shot 3 custom preset modes for video Ultra smooth zoom cropping With usb on the go adapter, I have connected seagate pocket harddrive 1TB and the phone reads without issues Cons Highlight clipping . I always under expose to preserve highlight Some kind of image stabilization is much needed Hunts for focus sometimes. I enjoyed more on my 808 than Android counterparts.

Hey, have you tried inserting a 4G sim in it? Does it still work? Mine can't seem to get a decent signal ugh

i have this bad boy 808 I love it no phone camera can beat even now days i tested all big phones but my old bad boy beats all.

نفسي فية لليوم و كل أجهزة نوكيا عائلة N روعه ما شاء الله

The best camera system on a phone to date, period.

Maan it’d be very nice if u review the latest custom firmware for nokia 808 adding 12mp mode, removing vignetting in 41mp mode etc.

Still really really want to have this phone, it's more interesting than any other budget or high end phones

1st mobile according to me which had Dolby playback with recording and mini HDMI

That UI is so nostalgic

You've now seen the trained kitty assassins in action in this video, so LIKE the video or I'll send them your way :p

The REAL NOKIA, were truly ahead of the game

Well well well nostalgia is back 808 pureview had some really different colours and options as limited editions.I don't remember the name but one of them is McLaren edition maybe not sure

Damn, I miss Rich Recording. No phone has THAT recording quality nowadays. I still bring my Lumia 950 for concerts and clubs, No distortion at all. I couldn't afford this phone back in the days, but my father still uses my legacy Nokia N8. Miss those camera innovations :(

Nice video

Can u do a comparison with the s21 Ultra for the camera?

A proud Nokia 808 PureView owner here 💪😎

Ive always wanted to own this phone, now that i have some money ill definitely buy it

I love so much your reviews and you can how to thrill those who listen to you❤️… In your opinion between this phone ()Nokia 808) and the Lumia 1020, which of the two ones takes the best photos?

Thanks

After 9 years 48 megapixel camera is just a regular standard camera nowadays in smartphones

This phone is king of that days

hi do you have any idea how to install messenger and whatsapp on nokia e52 in 2021 ? :) Is it possible to install other popular and famous applications like facebook, youtube, google maps/chrome, skype, etc ?

Still by far one of the best looking phones

I was able recently to buy one to see what it is about. I feld in love with it. I am going the oposite way of modern phones, leaning back to blackberry classic, Nokia E72 and recently updated my collection with Nokia 808 and 1020. I enjoy more 808s photos but 1020 has raw photos, that are double of 808s size, meaning better for editing. Literally, I prefer this 2 phones over all modern cameras in phones, that uses destructive Ai. Just to compare, for example photo of Samsung Galaxy Ultra 20 is about 10 - 16mb, 808 is 20+mb and 1020 40mb+. Also Ai destroys absulutly detail of photos. This is personal opinion, but I think if you zoom in gallery photo taken with modern phone, it is just discusting result. To compare with 808 and 1020, has just beautiful weight in the photos and zoom. Literally it is like taking photos with dlsr cameras. Main downside of 1020 is that the colours are kinda off, but that can be easy edited.

Aaah I now know 1020 lumia is next... its the successor of the pureview
