Nokia PureView stands for different technologies used by Nokia and later, Microsoft Mobile in their top range of smartphone cameras. Prime examples of PureView are the Nokia 808 and the Nokia Lumia 1020, which both possess a very high resolution (41 megapixel) image sensor with on-chipimage processors performing image scaling with oversampling, giving improved digital zoom and reduced noise. Both are combined with a Xenon flash, 1080pHD video camera and high resolution Zeiss all-aspherical 1-group lenses.[1] Unlike the Nokia 808, the Nokia Lumia 1020—along with other Lumia PureView smartphone cameras—possess Optical image stabilization, which has now become a part of standard Lumia PureView bundling.[2] the Nokia 808 does however, compensate with its own exclusive and camera complementing media features such as Micro HDMITV-out and built in video editing.[3]
As part of the acquisition of Nokia's telephone devices and services business Microsoft acquired the PureView trademark.[4]
