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!

        The MSN weather app on Windows Phone 8 shuts down in February, sadly.

              still my dream phone

                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.

                  joe nodden, 17 Nov 2019"You're about... five years too early"Perhaps then, it's not a surprise that this phone's camera can still compete with today's algorithm or AI-focused Android or iOS smartphones.

                          Aadrian , 20 Apr 2019Yes it is worth it, I also have the N8, 808 and Lumia 1020.... moreThanks!

                          I'll think of that. 145€ is not much. I use only the n8 and 808 as cameras. 808 also as a voice recorder. And the main porpouse of the 1020 is "repalce" the 808 and the n8 as a compact camera.
                          Thanks

                            Pepe, 14 Apr 2019Question: I have found a brand new lumia 1020 for 145€ ... moreYes it is worth it, I also have the N8, 808 and Lumia 1020. It is a magnificent phone to have and makes a great camera phone trio. But if you use it only as a camera, then you can probably also keep your Nokia 808 for that.

                              Question:

                              I have found a brand new lumia 1020 for 145€
                              I have a nokia 808 and a n8. I sold the 950xl because I didn't like the photos of people and the strange skin tone it produce. I use the 808 and the n8 as my photo camera.

                              Is it worth buying the 1020 for 145€ to replace the 808 and being my camera? Or is it better to buy a compact camera?
                              I like the sony rx100 but it costs 300€ and I don't know if the picture quality os better than the 808 or the 1020.

                              Thanks!

                                Aadrian , 14 Apr 20197 euro? Or do you mean 70 euro? I mean 7 euro would be real... moreI was talking about extra battery. :) Phone itself (near mint) cost me 120 euros.

                                  SpiritWolf, 09 Apr 2019Then you should opt for 808 instead. Noticeably less noise... more7 euro? Or do you mean 70 euro? I mean 7 euro would be really cheap or it must have been for parts or something.

                                    SpiritWolf, 09 Apr 2019Then you should opt for 808 instead. Noticeably less noise... moreI do like the 808, but sadly it doesn't have RAW image support. That's a shame. :(

                                      YUKI93, 21 Jan 2019This phone may be 5.5 years old now and only runs on Window... moreThen you should opt for 808 instead.
                                      Noticeably less noise in full resolution (bigger sensor, bigger pixels).
                                      More versatile, you can choose between full resolution and 8mp, 5mp and 3mp pureview modes.
                                      You can adjust sharpness, contrast and saturation before shooting. (Also colour modes.)
                                      Xenon flash (and pretty powerful).
                                      Battery lasts longer, especially in offline mode. (And is swappable. Pretty cheap too, got one for 7 euros few weeks ago.)
                                      Screen has much better sunlight legibility (pretty important, imho).
                                      And last but not least, after comparing tens of pics from 1020 and 808, latter can squeeze out more detail.
                                      Only con: a bit narrower dynamic range.
