The Nokia 808 PureView is a Symbian-powered smartphone by Nokia. It was first unveiled on 27 February 2012 at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) and released in May 2012. It is the first smartphone to feature Nokia PureView Pro technology, a pixel oversampling technique that reduces an image taken at full resolution into a lower resolution picture, thus achieving higher definition and light sensitivity, and enables lossless digital zoom. It was one of the most advanced camera phones at the time of its release.

The Nokia 808 PureView features a 41 MP 1/1.2 in (10.67 × 8 mm) sensor and a high-resolution f/2.4 Zeiss all-aspherical 1-group lens. The 808's sensor was the largest (over 4 times larger than typical compact cameras) sensor ever to be used in a cameraphone at the time of its launch, a record previously held by Nokia's N8 and, as of September 2014, by the Panasonic Lumix CM1.

The 808 PureView was the last Symbian smartphone from Nokia. In July 2013, Nokia released the Lumia 1020, a successor running the Windows Phone operating system common to Nokia's newer products.

As of 2024, despite larger 1" sensors and AI processing modern cameraphones can’t provide resolution better than Nokia 808 PureView at least in broad daylight.
