The Nokia 808 PureView uses a 41 MP sensor, which captures image data from seven adjacent pixels and condenses it into one, resulting in stills at around 5 MP resolution with amazing detail and low noise levels. The optics are Carl Zeiss and there's Xenon flash and a LED one acting as a video light.
It will actually only cost around 600 dollars. And here's the full specs:

$600 with or without a contract? Sounds like a 2-year contract might make it more like $300, which is in line with top of the line Android phones right now.

This thing is hilarious. And it's a marvel. It's not REALLY a 41MP cameraphone. The sensor has 41MP, but in legible terms, it "layers" all those megapixels to create a super-detailed, compact, 5MP image that you can send in an email or SMS. You can shoot with more MP than 5 if you want, but you won't see improved image quality unless you're printing poster-sized copies of those pictures, and it only increases the file size to processor-clogging levels.
So no, your new Nokia 808 doesn't have more real-life MP than these new professional cameras. The 16MP Nikon D4 ($6000) and the 18MP Canon 1DX ($6800):
With the same photographer taking the capture, these low-MP cameras will still give you exponentially better results than this "41MP" cell phone. Many reasons why. But I'm not dogging on the phone. It's sort of genius, and it does give you great bragging rights if you're talking to people who don't get camera stuff.

Not really, it really is a 41 megapixel sensor, but like u said there is a pure view mode that takes 8 and 5mp pics. You can also take 38mp and 34 mp pics.
These 8 and 5 MP shots will literally be picture perfect because of the large sensor. Because of that it also has lossless zoom which is better than optical zoom providing no quality loss when zooming.
The Nokia N8 has the largest sensor ever on smartphone, and most point N shoots don't even have that large of a sensor, but this new phone takes the cake for camera king. It has a sensor that is 2.5x larger than N8.
