Users will not have to wait too long to lay their hands on the Nokia 808 PureView as an official announcement by the Finnish manufacturer has confirmed that the device is slated to enter India in May itself. It will also be released in some other select markets including Russia this month.

We’re going to carry on developing PureView for our future smartphones in ways that will again revolutionize the imaging experience,†stated Jo Harlow, Head of Smart Devices at Nokia.
