That's what we hope when we see a black box labeled: Nokia up to something.

Pureview became a brand-name (set of imaging experience enhancing tech blah marketingblah) under MS rule to quickly explain the setbacks in quality and lack of mega large sensor in the first "Pureview" enabled Lumia's.

The core Pureview feature (pixel oversampling) might still be out of Nokia's reach and in the progress of becoming irrelevant in Microsofts morgue of unwanted irritating tech that stand in our way to shape the world.
It took years to develop it, it was a great idea but since 2012 nothing significant has been done with the technology.

Soon also the 1020 Lumia may become a last vintage Pureview camera phone.
Maybe Nokia will revive it after 2016?
