iua, 21 Sep 2013why gsmarena is not comparing nokia 1020 with samsung s4 zo... moreS4 zoom is better than lumia 1020 in many aspects of photograhy. But the size factor also matters. 1020 can handled easily. One more thing nokia 808 is definitely better than the s4 zoom.
Note: I'm using both 808 and s4 zoom.

Regarding FM Radio and no audio out on loudspeaker, just press or hold your finger on the screen while FM Radio is available and you can choose loudspeker instead of playing through the connected headset.

AnonD-63176, 21 Sep 2013you are missing my point.
I understand people expect more... moreYeah,they also said the Z1 screen is nowhere near the 1020 screen. Maybe Amoled is better,but "nowhere near" is a pretty far out claim.And also they forgot that Z1 has an SD card slot which is important for storing larger media files.But 1020 does have more internal storage anyway.
Maybe my post will get deleted.

The camera is just out of this world, counting in the size of this phone, but also the rest is just an awesome phone. ... an (ex) x-peria android user.

AnonD-81729, 21 Sep 2013Camera on Xperia Z1 is not that good as you think. Check th... moreyou are missing my point.
I understand people expect more from the overly hyped Z1 on camera performance.
From the sample in your link, the 1020 is clearly better than the Z1, but does that mean it is subpar or worse than say s4 or Htc one?
Do you know what im trying to say here? Everything got praised in the conclusion, even though there are some shortcoming in them, but only the z1 get bashed so badly.
Z1 can do what htc one/ s4 can do as an android, or even faster, it is more rugged, and the design is one of the best, can you deny all these? or you can just simply skip all of these and just mention every downsides possibly found in the z1?

"Just like the still images, the videos produced by the Lumia 1020 are beyond the capabilities of any other smartphone on the market"
Same thing with audio recording. Rich Recording (High Amplitude) mics on Lumia 1020 are the best out there on mobile.
Here are some comparison pictures between Lumia 1020 and Sony Xperia Z1

Funny thing is that all the drawbacks that you mentioned on 1020 at the end, 808 pureview has it covered but of course it is older (specs).
And no, I don't want this Windows phone.

Really salute NOKIA for this phone. I am ex NOKIA user in its glamour days, but had to gave it up because of Symbian. A phone worth final salute to NOKIA.
Teh strangest thing I find here is, why is GSM Arena talking so negatively about Xperia Z1. I went through all blogs and review sites including CNET. Coincidently, GSM arena is the only website negating again Zperia Z1 so bad and that too when it used a Demo unit for review. A few my friends who baught Z1 told that it is absolutely stunning in camera and battery performance. I guess what phone did GSM arena tested.
GSM Arena. Please be transparent make sure to have unbiased reviews. If it continues like this, I think you will end being like Nokia one day.

I find it amusing that the HTC One is always relegated to an afterthought when comparing phones, when many reviewers favoured it over the SGS 4..

I do not think Nokia is dead.
And Windows OS is improving and will be reach the android and ios league. Nokia has a lot going its way.
By an Xperia user who was never a big fan of Nokia in the past.

Even the lumia1020 cant do HDR and supposes that everybody gonna take a 5 photos brackted and combine them in photo-editing software on a PC to finally get it ! Windows Phone Store ?!!! an empty redicilous store with no single decent app. !! if Nokia running after cameras they should make a digital cam instead of this pathatic combination.

Anonymous, 21 Sep 2013The colors of the sample photos says it all, this is as far... moreResults will still be the same no matter how many times they retest it. Sony camera suit is just lousy. A S4 using Sony lenses can even out perform Z1.

Many consider Android should be in this phone.
Many also consider Windows Phone is the right choice.
Majority don't even bother on which OS is installed in this phone.

Purely and utterly amazing. What really gets me is that even during tough times, Nokia never made a device merely to save their skin like most manufacturers do. They still delivered on their tested and proven quality both in the 808 and the 1020. For that, they have my utmost respect. Nokia will always live in me
