How to open front camera in Nokia lumia 1020?

    How strange it is living in a time where this sensor isn't weird.

      Its camera is still superb even now in 2020.

          Wish Nokia would re-release this phone but with a larger screen (like 6.1"), larger battery of 4200 mAh would be good, flat OLED screen with small / tiny bezels and an under display selfie camera, 8 gb of RAM and 128/256 gb storage. If they did that with the same camera hardware, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I even miss the feel of the polycarbonate body, it might look cheap but feels great in the hand

            I do not understand why the current Nokia does not make phones like this, changing only the operating system for Android instead of Windows. This was a great phone. The current HMD is a complete disaster for Nokia.

              Still the phone doesn’t have the camera sensor like 808 pureview but it do better image sharpening auto customizations for it's better processor and GPU drivers!

                Thisguy, 05 Mar 2020I've looked at this phone for years bc of the camera review... moreTo be brutally honest, I can't think of any except for these four:

                (i) The 2012 Nokia 808 PureView is definitely a strong contender, considering it to be the 1020 predecessor. But unfortunately, the 808's camera is FSI and it lacks OIS and RAW image support.
                (ii) The 2014 Panasonic Lumix CM1 is also a worthy 1020 contender. As of right now, this is the only Android smartphone with a proper 1" sensor without all those Quad Bayer or Nona Bayer nonsense. It does have RAW support, but unfortunately, there is no OIS and Xenon flash.
                (iii) The 2015 Microsoft Lumia 950 or 950 XL is definitely the best flagship-grade Lumia smartphone you can own right now. Yes, the camera sensor is not as big as the 1020 and the flash is a triple RGB LED flash instead of Xenon+LED combo. But with the 950, you still got the ever-excellent PureView oversampling technique and also 4K recording support. While it does OIS on board, bear in mind that we are talking a 2015 device so it won't be as quick as today's modern smartphones.
                (iv) The 2019 Huawei Mate 30 Pro is still, to me, the modern Android smartphone that you need to look out for. Finally, at long last, their horrendously famous waterpainting-like oversharpening is gone for real! Now I'm finally seeing crisp detail and clarity, unlike old Leica co-engineered Huawei flagships. The lack of Google Mobile Service may be a deal-breaker, but if you don't care about Google and want to go Google-free, you can definitely consider this phone as your deGoogled companion.

                  Thisguy, 05 Mar 2020I've looked at this phone for years bc of the camera review... moreWell I can think of a couple, like the Nokia 808 Pureview. That phone is even older, the camera however is magnificent. The Huawei Mate 30 pro also makes very good pictures but there's no PlayStore, and it costs you an arm and a leg. The Lumia 930 has a 20MP camera but also Pureview technology, and the pics it makes are of excellent quality.

                    I've looked at this phone for years bc of the camera reviews. I know It's been out for 7 years and technology has come a long ways, but I'm tired of poor pics. Does anyone know of any phone that takes pictures as good as this phone ?

                      One of the best phone Ever!

                                YUKI93, 29 Nov 2019Perhaps then, it's not a surprise that this phone's camera ... moreIf I need to take photo's for things I occasionally sell, I always take the Lumia 1020 because its pics are superb and clear and it has a dedicated camera button, also easy to adjust taken photos with the Lumia camera app.
