An interesting coincidence, shortly before the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Nokia Conversations is writing about the use of Graphene technology.
I’ll quote the first lines: “Today, ‘the future’ just got a little more present, thanks to news that the Graphene Flagship Consortium, a collection of industry and academic partners – including Nokia – looking to improve the world using graphene, was chosen by the European Union for the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) program, triggering an investment of 1 billion euros that will be spread over the next 10 years.”
So that means that a lot of money will be invested in the development of graphene technology. Why is this interesting? Because last year – thinking about how the Nokia Lumia 920 could possibly offer the same imaging quality if the device wouldn’t offer the same 41MP sensor of the 808 PureView – I wrote about a publication on Unwiredview.com (via WPCentral). You’ll find that post here.
Now this is the kind of high-tech defining our future, and that’s not the kind of stuff I can write about easily. But I think it’s interesting to see an announcement like this on Nokia Conversations. Is it just a coincidence? Holler if you know more about it, or think you do. Meanwhile you’ll find more information in the post over at Nokia Conversations.

Always surprising when someone just completely copies my text, including the link to this article. The blog is giving me “credit”, without linking to the source, which is http://www.pureviewclub.com/2013/10969. Whatever.
Hi Marc,nice to read this news allbeit in the hospital. Nice because it seems that Nokia is still one of the frontrunners. And indeed 1 billion is a lot of money. This underpins my confidence in Nokia!
BTW: 1 new Aorta valve and 4 bypasses loaded last friday.
hold on Peter!
Thank you for your reaction Peter! And good to know all went well!
Just read about it on the dutch tech site tweakers.net
Realy interesting stuff for the comming years
Yeah, I remember that technology (or that patent) being mentionned here.
Hmmm … a bit too high level for me, but I’m intrigued. Can’t wait till the usage of this technology comes out to the public in form of a cool, buyable gadget. Would love to watch “Nokia intelligenzia” working on this, even though I don’t understand it. Now that the Graphene Flagship Consortium (First time I heard about this) was able to raise 1 billion, I hope some interesting innovation will see the light!
shall i buy 920 or 820 help me marc
A bit off-topic I’d say, but okay… If you can afford it I’d choose the 920, although it’s heavier and the look and feel of the 820 were a pleasant surprise to me. But I just love the screen size and quality of the 920, its design, and of course PureView II. Still have to work on shots the compare the cameras though… So much to do in so little time :-)
