Nokia US President confirms in future Lumia handsets will come with Pureview technology

Nokia's US President says Pureview technology will be coming with Lumia handsets in the future with Windows Phone. He also says that they are also working closely with Microsoft so that the future iterations of the Windows Phone platform can support sensors like the 41MP module in the Nokia 808 PureView and unleash the full potential of their capabilities.
There is a lot more interesting stuff about the future direction Nokia is heading to with Windows Phone, so you can watch the whole improvised interview with Chris Weber in the video below

In Future the Nokia's PureView technology may come in Thinner Handsets

Is it weird that people seem genuinely more excited for a Symbian phone than a Windows Phone in 2012? Well Windows Phone isn't quite in the 'cool' crowd of tech yet, but the supremely impressive PureView camera technology is and it's going to feature its first public release on the 808 PureView in a few weeks. But as that device's release date approaches, it's hard not to wonder where the technology is headed in the future.

Engadget was thinking about that too so they asked Nokia's Head of Product Marketing, Vesa Jutila, what we can expect to see from PureView in 2012 and beyond. He confirmed to the site that Nokia is already hard at work on the next-generation of the DSLR-like imaging tech, which will lead to thinner PureView devices that won't sacrifice any Carl Zeiss optics or the software magic going on behind-the-scenes. What's more, PureView won't just be limited to ridiculous allotments of megapixels either, saying future tech "would not necessarily have the same 41-megapixel sensor" as found in the Symbian swan song.

Jutila unfortunately evaded divulging any info about a potential Lumia/PureView crossover device, but get real people -- it's probably going to happen. If Windows Phone is the future strategy of Nokia and that company is working on the technology for future products, it's not hard to put two and two together. Plus if rumors of customizable "Lens" camera apps for manufacturers to implement in Windows Phone 8 comes true, that leaves the door wide open for Nokia's software sorcery to bring PureView photos to Lumia devices. We'll be soaking our eyes in preparation.
