What was the last Nokia smartphone to run Symbian OS?

The last Nokia smartphone to run Symbian OS was the Nokia 808 PureView. Unveiled at Mobile World Congress in February 2012 and released in May, it became the final handset in Nokia’s long Symbian era.

The 808 PureView ran Nokia Belle, a later version of Symbian, and was built around an extraordinary 41-megapixel camera sensor. Its PureView Pro technology oversampled the sensor’s high-resolution output into smaller images, improving detail, noise performance, and digital zoom.

Nokia had already announced in 2011 that Windows Phone would become its primary smartphone platform, gradually replacing Symbian. The Lumia 800 represented that new direction, while the 808 was effectively Symbian’s spectacular final showcase. The Nokia N8 was an important earlier flagship, but it was not the last Symbian smartphone.

The 808’s successor in camera-focused Nokia phones was the Lumia 1020, released in 2013 and running Windows Phone. That operating-system change is the key distinction behind this trivia question.
