Nokia has announced a new camera called the 808 Pureview. It features a Carl Zeiss lens and a 41 MP sensor for what has been described as super sharp images (from a phone) and great low-light capabilities. You can see a video of this new camera below:
The claim of 41 megapixels is astounding given the size of the device. However, the claim comes with a caveat about the use of images from the camera. The phone is not meant to compete with a medium-format camera and of course the phone itself cannot offer the level of control of a DSLR. For an explanation of how Nokia crammed that many megapixels into such a small foot print and their usability go to: Pureview Explained.
While it can't compete with a DSLR (yet), the phone's huge megapixel count and features are the result of the new frontier in the war between phone manufacturers:photography.
