Thoughts On How Nokia's Pureview Technology Would Evolve

Thanks for the thoughts. Personally I don't care about the additional protrusion too but I would think a uniform thickness throughout certainly makes the phone more aesthetically pleasing. The Pureview 808 still doesn't look too bad in real life (with the hump) as the overall form is small. If the phone is slightly larger in dimensions and wider, I can just imagine the hump to be more prominent. I am visualizing the Lumia 920 to have the form of the 808, and I think it won't look too good. Also, when the phone is placed on a flat surface, the back of the phone won't lie flat due to the hump. A minor issue that may not be worth worrying about.

Perhaps I am over-analyzing, but I do hope the next generation of Pureview phones from Nokia will not be inferior than the 808 (if they follow the crowd in adopting form over function). In order to capture the market, they will have to come up with device that appeals to the MAJORITY of people, not a minority of folks that take photography seriously. I do hope Nokia will take the right path in the evolution of their next generation of Pureview phones. Otherwise, the 808 may just become a niche.
