    Why Nokia doesn’t utilize Windows phone OS? It is because the platform doesn’t support that beast camera yet. owever, the number really wows me with 41-mp camera onboard and let’s see hw it performs on the real world..

    What a file size… but unless you want huge prinouts for day to day sharing on Social media 7 MP is also too much.

    haha its pretty crazy. 8 mp is more than enough for cellphones I guess. It also depends on other things like lens quality

    41 megapixel? Is that possible? Or is it worth it? Why not buy a DSLR camera to take even better photographs? The lenses are a lot better in professional cameras..
