Nokia abandons launch of 808 PureView in North America

March 7 news, according to foreign media reports, Nokia's latest release of 41 million pixels 808 PureView smart phones will not be introduced in the North American market.

It is reported that due to the 808 PureView body is too large, the Symbian operating system has been outdated, can only find a living space in a segment of the market, so Nokia only hopes to launch the product in countries with a Symbian phone with a certain appeal.

In addition, the share of Symbian phones in the North American market has always been very poor, and Nokia's cooperation with Microsoft shows that the company will fully support the Microsoft Windows Phone platform. The 808 PureView was launched by loyal users specifically for Symbian, and not many such users in North America.

The industry generally believes that Symbian still has a market outside of North America, but it will eventually be defeated by Android, iOS, and even Windows Phone.
