Nokia's 41 megapixel camera phone comes to India

Nokia has finally launched its much-awaited 41 megapixel camera phone - the Nokia 808 PureView - in India at a price of Rs 33,899. The phone sports a 41 megapixel camera sensor with Carl Zeiss optics.
The 41-megapixel sensor does not mean shooting pictures the size of billboards. Instead, it's about creating pictures at normal, manageable sizes.
