However, as a shooter I don't think it really stands a chance to win here. Nor does it really bring anything different to the table than what you already see here....camera wise

      You should have included Lenovo K900 in the list. I think this one really worth mentioning.

        why do all the close photos taken on the 1020 seem to be further away than the other phones almost to make the other phones distort . either that or the other phones are zoomed in ???/

              GSMA Team you forgot to include the Padfone Infinity or you guys didn't get the review unit from Asus? It has feature to recrod high frame rate video at 60fps in 720p as well. And the still image quality is comparable to those devices in this review.
              Please consider to review it.

                  Anonymous, 30 Oct 2013Note 3 camera only great in day light but in low light mehh... moreThe others dont get the best color accuracy either...And the 5s only seems to take natural colors in low lighting..Where with normal and bright lightling it's colors are washed out. G2 definitely off on contrast as well as One, but not as bad.

                          Note 3 camera only great in day light but in low light mehhhh. Still prefer HTC one , Xperia Z1 and IPhone 5s camera more realistic and true to live colors. 1020 yeah great camera but over saturate colors a lot even the white looks yellow exactly like S4 and Note 3 camera that over saturate the blue and green and white doesn't looks white.

                            Why no include the S4 zoom in the mix? After all it's the only real competitor in terms of what is being aimed for to the 1020.

                                    Boldi, 25 Oct 2013Please update test with new Sony Z1 firmware updated phone!Yes. Even though it was a test done with all the phones on their latest software and Sony failed to update it earlier and all other phones could as well potentially improve from an update....
                                    Let's just redo the entire review every time SONY makes an update for the Z1. Because endless and endless and endless Sony fanboys keep whining over and over and over and over about software update...I have seen more sony fans whine about a software update in this page than I have seen people fight in all the other pages....

                                    Like updates is some special Sony only thing. And if it happens to Sony then anything depicting their device has to be redone just to make all you happy....and I guess everyone is under the impression that Sony is about to release an update that dramatically fixes all camera software issues????

                                        I'm a Samsung user and I hate Nokia, have to admit defeat though, the sensor on that thing is massive, winner has to be the lumia.

                                        Only thing thats actually good about it though :p
