At the time when Nokia's latest WP8 model is about to be fully launched, Damian Dining, head of Nokia's imaging department, recently officially announced his resignation. Dining has been a key contributor to the development of a series of Nokia's mobile phones focusing on photography in recent years, and the popular Lumia 920 imaging technology can be said to have a close relationship with him. Since joining Nokia in 2004, Dining has led the team to develop many amazing works, which have made Nokia significantly different from other products. Here's a summary.
Nokia N8
The Nokia N8 is a classic camera phone. With its 12 megapixel high-definition photography level, the phone has become popular, making the world eye-catching. In addition to high pixels, the N8 is also equipped with Xenon flash, which supports autofocus and 720P high-definition video capture. The camera adopts the largest sensor 1/1.183 inch on the mobile phone at present, and the sensor even exceeds most card cameras. In addition, the lens is also certified by Carl Zeiss, which can bring better imaging effect.


In other aspects, the Nokia N8 adopts an integrated aluminum shell, which makes the overall style more impressive. In terms of screen, the Nokia N8 uses a 3.5-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 360 × 640 pixels, which is also a good configuration. In terms of system, Nokia N8 is the Symbian 3 operating system. Compared with S60, Nokia N8 has greatly improved its operating efficiency, operating interface, and controllability.
Nokia 808 Pureview
The Nokia 808 Pureview is the first mobile phone equipped with a 41 megapixel camera, which is also the highest configuration so far. The machine has a 1/1.2 inch sensor built in, which is equivalent to 2.5 times the magnification of the Nokia N8 sensor, so it can bring a shocking imaging effect. In addition, Nokia 808 Pureview also has Nokia's own PureView imaging technology, coupled with Carl Zeiss lens and pixel supersampling technology, which supports full HD 1080p video recording and playback, CD like high-quality audio recording, and exclusive Dolby headset technology. It can be said that Nokia 808 PureView has opened a new era of smartphone imaging.


In addition, the Nokia 808 adopts a simple straight board full touch model, and its body line is relatively smooth. Its screen is a 4-inch, AMOLED multi touch screen with a resolution of 640x360 pixels. The processor is 1331MHz, provided by Broadcom. The system is equipped with Symbian Belle intelligent system, and the overall performance is excellent.
Nokia Lumia 920
Lumia 920 is the latest flagship model of Nokia, and its photo function is one of its selling points different from similar WP8 phones. Compared with the previous generation flagship Lumia 900, the Lumia 920 pixel has been upgraded to 8.7 million. It still uses a Carl Zeiss certified lens and is equipped with CMOS sensors. More importantly, the Lumia 920 uses a larger f-2.0 aperture, while the Lumia 900 uses a f-2.2 aperture. Theoretically, the former will also have a better photo taking effect. In addition, the Nokia Lumia 920 has OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer) floating lens technology, and the entire optical component can be well synchronized with the camera movement, so as to obtain better optical anti shake effect. In addition, the addition of the second generation PureView pure scene photography technology is also conducive to the grasp of tone and exposure. From the current actual photo taking situation, Lumia 920 has a very good performance in the megapixel level.


In other aspects, the Nokia 920 is equipped with a 4.5-inch touch screen with a resolution of 1280 * 768 pixels. The pixel density exceeds the Galaxy SIII to 332ppi. The screen also incorporates ClearBlack technology and PureMotion HD+technology, which enables the screen to have higher brightness and faster refresh speed. It is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual core processor, built-in 8.7 million pixel main camera, and the second generation PureView camera technology, which can also capture clear photos and videos in low light environment and at night. In addition, Lumia 920 also has 1GB RAM and 32GB large capacity storage space, equipped with 2000mAh large capacity batteries, and added wireless charging function.
