Nokia PureView is a term getting bandied about quite a bit. The Nokia Lumia 920 is the latest smartphone to feature it but it was the Nokia 808 PureView that was the one that heralded it after the announcement at Mobile World Congress 2012. So exactly what is “it”? What is Nokia PureView?
Step a little closer, and let PL tell you a story.
Once upon a time in Barcelona, Nokia held forth the Nokia 808 PureView cameraphone in front of the people. It was a phone with the biggest image sensor in the back of it that the world had ever seen. And the people saw it, and it was good.

we should wait for full resolution samples, but I partially agree.
I think "phase 2" wasn't supposed to be featured in a product by it self, but more likely added to Phase 1 eventually.. but they kind of ran out of tricks for the Lumias so they had to do something.
WP (just like android) is not very friendly when it comes to imaging, at least not for the stuff Nokia is trying to do, for that you need a REAL TIME OS like Symbian, that way you can sync the Xenon, the two GPU-s, etc. without any latency issues....
Still, its innovation, which seems to be a rare thing in the industry these days.

Really? Even if it's true, is it so hard to update WP, Android so that it can do these tricks?

Sad, but true.

No. They can't be updated .. the issue is with the kernel itself, which is the "heart" of the OS, very difficult to update in such major way, and pointless at this point.

I still think the Lumia 920 is great device but Nokia should have left out the Pureview

So there is no point to wait for a phone with good OS and good camera. Good to know

As soon as someone makes a SoC that can handle the load from the 808 sensor, there will be a WP8 phone with the system.
Symbian 10.1 is a pretty good OS actually, for me personally, its the best on the market.
