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

Not many games available on WP8 platform

Camera protrusion on back
Uneven weight distribution

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
The 1020 follows in the same polycarbonate mould as Nokia's previous Lumia handsets. Our model came in a bright banana-yellow, and while it's also available in black and white, we'd go for the yellow every time. It really stands out in a sea of black and white devices. Despite the monster 41-megapixel sensor, the 1020 is still pretty slim, unlike the 808 PureView, which was quite chunky. Even wit
As a phone, or a camera, there's not much to fault the Lumia 1020 on. But Windows Phone 8 is its Achilles' heel. Unfortunately the OS still lacks plenty of apps that are commonplace on Android or iOS. Instagram, for one, which would pair up perfectly with the 41-megapixel shooter.The camera also lacks an optical zoom. But this isn't too much of an issue, as you can zoom right into such high-resol
Not only is the Lumia 1020 the best cameraphone we've seen, but it's easily the best Windows Phone ever. With incredible imaging abilities, a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some strong software smarts, it easily beats the competition. If you want a great c...
Sensational highresolution sensor, lots of effects, neat styling.
Some shutter lag and some will find the photographic emphasis too niche
Big and colourful, the Nokia Lumia 1020 is an unmatched camera phone. Some are faster, but none beats the 41-megapixel sensor here. It's also an accomplished Windows Phone 8 handset, with a lot going for it....
Good camera and features; Bright, colourful display; Neat, bright design
The Lumia 1020 features a powerful Carl Zeiss 41-megapixel lens and yet Nokia has managed to retain the slim chassis – it's just a shame about the disappointing auto mode and the dearth of apps...
Nokia's Lumia 1020 is a beautiful phone, expertly put together and with a stellar camera included. It's one of our favourite handsets of 2013.The problem is, it's held back by one simple thing: Windows Phone. As an operating system, it just isn't evolved...
Published: 2013-09-20, Author: Andrew , review by: theregister.co.uk
Abstract: Nokia's marketing department is comparing its new imaging champ, the Lumia 1020 smartphone, to digital SLR cameras. That's just silly. But what the Lumia 1020 can lay claim to is that it takes the best photos of any current modern smartphone – by a clea...
Strong camera and features; Bright, colourful screen; Neat and colourful design
Auto mode not as strong as we’d hoped; Pauses between shots; Lack of decent apps
Nokia’s Lumia 1020 is a much-improved version of the 808 Pureview, featuring a surprisingly slender body (even if it’s still a little chunky) and strong 41-megapixel snapper. Only the slightly dark auto mode and long processing times detract from a highly...
The best camera seen on any smartphone, Nokia apps are great, decent build quality, great screen and performance
Is still heavier than most smartphones, cost will put businesses off mass rollouts
The Nokia Lumia 1020 is the best camera-phone ever made, offering better imaging quality than most dedicated sub-£300 handheld cameras. However at £550 SIM-free, the improved camera functionality comes with a serious price tag....
Excellent camera in most respects, Punchy, colourful screen, Excellent build quality
Camera processing is sluggish, Camera lens housing causes handling issues, Not much more powerful than entry-level phones, Windows apps/games selection is poor
Nokia Lumia 1020 – Call Quality The Nokia Lumia 1020 offers good call quality. Its call speaker offers excellent clarity, with none of the muffled quality you can get in some phones that neglect call quality over flashier features. Earpiece speaker volume...
Best camera in a phone, ever, Keeps a sleek design, Features some great specs, Fantastic battery life, Accessories are great, Windows Phone 8 is as quick and responsive as ever, Great connectivity options, Nokia's updates and support are much welcomed
A little awkward in shape, The camera lens assembly is rather large, The Windows Store is still lacking a lot of apps, Internet Explorer is clunky compared to browsers like Safari and Chrome, Pro Cam app is too slow to capture immediate action, DESIGN/FIR
I found the Lumia 1020 to be a thoroughly good phone. The Windows Phone OS is great to use, battery life is fantastic and it really is a great-looking device for something with a 41MP sensor inside of it. The camera itself it simply the best I have ever u...
