Despite dual cameras
Nokia PureView imaging does not cover dual camera shot imaging that allows taking images using the front facing and rear cameras at the same time. The lack of Instagram is replaced by GlamMe and users can opt for the 6Tag app from Wi
The editors didn't like
No storage expansion
Shot to shot time can be slow
It is completely unreasonable to say that I would prefer if the camera did not take over a second to save the beautiful images it takes since what it's doing with that time is crunching a kiloton of data
But yes
It would be nice if the images saved fast
Costly
No External Storage Option
Adds bulk to the camera
Poor battery
Camera is slow to get going
Shottoshot time should have been less
Not many games available on WP8 platform
Lacks memory card slot
Camera protrusion on back
Uneven weight distribution
Non removable battery
Heavy Phone
Expensive
Nokia Pro Cam app lags
Windows Phone is very limiting
A great sensor
Lens and optics stack coupled with advanced manual controls from Pro Cam app makes Lumia 1020 the top camera smartphone of this year. Lumia 1020 as a package offers a great display
Abstract: The Nokia Lumia 1020 makes them all proud - it has the big sensor (even if, at 1/1.5", it's slightly smaller than the one inside the 808 PureView) the OIS and a proper flash, all garnished with a modern-looking smartphone OS...
Excellent camera, tons photo-editing features, great build quality, better than average battery life, Nokia HERE services, Windows Phone runs like a charm
Windows Phone 8 app selection is still lagging behind iOS and Android, The handset is also pretty chunky and will not be to everyone's tastes
The Lumia 1020 is an interesting device. It has a market-leading camera, a unique overall design, plus excellent battery life and performance. However it is difficult to recommend the device with a new Nokia flagship –– the Lumia 1520 –– just around the...
Abstract: The first thing to note about the Nokia Lumia 1020 is its startling design; although it's available in four colours, we were lucky enough to road test the luminous yellow model. And rather than making the phone look garish, the hazardous yellow simply add...
Abstract: I now have 3 very good smartphones with awesome cameras in my possession, so it would make sense for me to do a “camera face off”.We are going to compare the Nokia Lumia 1020 and Xperia Z1 against the new-comer – the Huawei P7.The test is in no way scient...

Image stabilisation great to assist with shots in low light, bright exposures, manual controls available, touchscreen is responsive, inherent smartphone abilities to share/apps, raw files hold plenty of detail at low ISO settings
Chunky for a smartphone, image quality can't always rival a dedicated compact camera, some settings may confuse the uninitiated, no microSD/SD storage, tricky to hold without accessory grip
Let's cut to the chase: the Nokia Lumia 1020 is the smartphone to beat when it comes to photography. Its camera is a serious bit of kit that, given the right conditions, will create exceptional shots. The caveat is that the best smartphone camera s...

Abstract: We’ve seen many smartphones claim that they produce the best image, but which one actually does? The two most niche camera phones on the market, the Lumia 1020 and Galaxy S4 Zoom have been out in the wild for quite some time, and we’ve been able to see me...
There is no doubt that the Nokia Lumia 1020 is a good phone, especially for those interested in photography. It is well made, looks great and has an excellent camera. However, there is simply no getting around the fact that it's a Microsoft phone and with...
