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: To capture a scene, we traditionally power up the camera, zoom and focus on an image and then hit the capture button. For most shots, this is more than ample to capture an image but what if there was another way? Imagine being able to capture a single ima...
WOW! the end of another interesting review, if this review has taught me anything its that anything is possible with smartphones as a few years ago I couldn't have dreamt up the 41 megapixel sensor for a phone! It's insane but it just shows you what a bi...
I'll end this article in the same way as I started it, the Nokia Lumia 1020 is an amazing camera. See what I did there? As good as the Nokia supplied software is I do feel like it could be so much better.It's only me being picky with the OS and the inner...

Best camera phone for image quality; Great build quality; Decent battery life
Windows Phone 8 app store still poorly stocked; Dual-core processor doesn't compete well against cheaper Android phones; Pricey
With its 41-megapixel sensor giving superb image quality, the Nokia Lumia 1020 is a great choice if photography is your chief concern. If a wide choice of apps is important though, Windows Phone 8 won't be to your taste. Instead, you'd be better off looki...
Abstract: The new Nokia Lumia 1020 has landed in the UK bringing with it 41 million reasons to give your camera or lens. Featuring a 41MP camera, the Nokia Lumia 1020 brings Nokia's imaging prowess to the Windows Phone era and sports a 41MP camera, Xenon flash, Pur...
Abstract: The Lumia 1020 is the most capable camera smartphone on the market but it's about more than just the 41MP image. Thanks to Nokia's PureView technology and oversampling, the 41 million pixels can be used to create some stunning images. The large image size...

Expensive; Bulky; Windows Phone OS needs work

Abstract: With a lot of people now taking more and more photos on their mobile phones, a decent camera has become something we all look to have. Until now, the megapixel race hit a wall around the 13 megapixel mark. To be honest this resolution is really good f...

Hailed by many as a compact camera in the shape of a smartphone, the Lumia 1020 isn't quite that. It's certainly the next great step in that direction, and indeed an excellent camera phone—the 5 Mpx images are fantastic—but a number of imperfections preve...
