Nokia 808 PureView Review

Every once in a while a phone is released which showcases the best of technology possible at that time. Back in 2007, it was the Nokia N95 which showcased exactly how to build a mobile computer.

Since then we’ve had various permutations and combinations of the formulae attempted to various degrees of success.
