But let's be specific: it needs to be that same type of PureView that helps the 808 (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/26/nokia-808-pureview-review/) to take such amazing images, with something at least similar to that 41-megapixel sensor. That's why it's slightly perturbing to hear The Verge's suggestion from "sources familiar with the matter" that the Lumia 920 (http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/31/nokia-lumia-820-920-leak/) will ship with a paltry 8-megapixel version of PureView, which doesn't sound like it could deliver the same noise reduction or lossless zoom or other powers. With the expected announcement (http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/15/nokia-microsoft-windows-phone/) just two days distant, let's hope it ain't so.
