12 July 2013
Their Windows Phone endeavors may have not been all smooth sailing for Nokia, but the Finnish company finally came up with the smartphone to beat – the Lumia 1020. Combining the best of both worlds - solid smartphone experience and...

2GB Ram is nice but I think nokia should have used Snapdragon S4 1.7 Ghz Dual Core and Adreno 320 Gpu like Sony Xperia SP. Hope many people will agree with me on this!

        Neither the dual core nor the HD 768p display (with better than retina 334ppi) are negatives in my opinion. The HD AMOLED screend with hi nit, CBD hi refresh rate and super sensitive touch capability are strong selling points that actually benefit user experience. HD 1020 on a 4.5 in screen has no meaningful benefit for the vast majority of discerning users. Quad core is useful if you have programs written for quad core and an OS that requires it to be smooth. Since the programs market for quad core is practically empty...and WP8 runs buttery smooth with dual core...again, no meaningful benefit to user experience by going quad core.

          Android fans are getting jealous coz der top dog produces a bulky n ugly phone...pity Samsung....nokia FTW

                too thick and only good for camera,

                not balanced features

                still LG G2 is good choice...

                    I had the N8, s2,s3 &iphone 5.
                    The N8 have The best Camera.
                    I will Get this supercamera phone.

                      It is a good thing not to be left alone after the 808. The 808 has just a superb camera. According all the information present on the media, the 1020 has adressed not only the big size, but some other things that were missing on thw 808, like shutter speed control.

                      It has to be a pretty good gadget all around, since this preview hints that way

                        I must say I was slightly dissappointed of the sample photos when compared to the 808. The 808 seems to produce sharper and less noisy pictures. Hopefully this is something Nokia will fix and that might also be the reason why sites aren't yet allowed to post any shots taken with the phone. Crossing my fingers that they also put back the 8 Mpixel option.

                          I am loving this phone, though i am satisfied with my SGS3 but this is amazing gadget. A collectible i must say. One cant get novelity of having pro cam in pocket. This phone + proCam. I really want to play with tles. I hate androids unlimited apps. Mostly bugs and viruses. Good one when you download ask the permissions to control my phone that i never give. So for me IOS is better as far as security is concerned. And if Wp is working on same lines then i wont hesitate buying one.

                              Samsung never had the best camera phone. Read this preview or do some research. Best cameras from the beginning of time has always been Nokia's. From N95, N82, N8, Pureview 808, Lumia 920, and now Lumia 1020. Other manufacturers can't beat Nokia when it comes to cameras. Simple as that.

                                i noticed at least 20% detail lost comparing to 808, together with dual core procesor and limited OS, 1020 feels like beta release
