Nokia could be planning to bring its true 41-megapixel PureView camera to a Windows Phone handset this year, according to a new report.


The company is working on a device, codenamed EOS, that will come with its full PureView camera, The Verge is reporting today, citing people who have knowledge of Nokia's plans. The device will be the first Windows Phone from Nokia that comes with the company's genuine PureView camera.


Although Nokia throws the "PureView" name around rather casually, the true, high-end camera has really just been available in its Symbian-based Nokia 808 PureView handset. The camera has 41 megapixels and a larger lens that captures more light. In a review of the Nokia 808 PureView last year, CNET editor Jessica Dolcourt said that the camera is "excellent" and "envelope-pushing," adding that it "will satisfy photo enthusiasts."
