Over at New York, Nokia finally announces their next flagship phone – the Lumia 1020. The ultimate cameraphone reels in a 41 megapixel shooter with tons of hardware & software features, enough processing power with 2GB RAM and the playful & solid, yet familiar design from the Lumia series.
Previously dubbed as the EOS, the Nokia Lumia 1020Â packs a 768 x 1280 PureMotion HD+ ClearBlack AMOLED panel, a 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU and an improved 2GB RAM. It is all wrapped around a unibody polycarbonate casing with 32GB internal storage, Windows Phone 8 and a non-removable 2,000mAh battery.
But of course, let us not forget one of the main highlights of the phone – the camera. On the hardware side, the 41MP PureView shooter on the back of the phone has an aperture of f/2.2, and it features a mechanical shutter. It packs optical image stabilization, improved low-light performance, oversampling technology (now on video as well) and loseless zoom.
On the software side however, Nokia employs their new app called “Pro Cam”. What it does is it allows you to adjust specific settings to your liking such as ISO, white balance, focus & shutter speed. Features such as long exposure have been demoed on stage and it worked very well. Dual Capture also allows you to take two photos at the same time at different resolutions.

4.5-inch PureMotion HD+ ClearBlack AMOLED display @ 1280×768 pixels, 332ppi

may updates naba kung kailan ito mairerelease sa asia. exclusively sa PHilippines>?
planning to save my money for this one…
WP8 is a way better. exception is the games from google.. i need a super phone like this L1020 with good 4g,lte, 6lens camera(pro). textng,call,video call, application wise. and can be upgraded to 8.1, wp9 and to d upcoming OS (based on nokia WP.) ..
yup.. talo talaga WP8 pag dating sa mga apps..pero napansin ko lang nung may samsung phone ako .. di ko rin ma enjoy yung mga games sa maliit na screen.. pero may gusto ako sa WP8, kahit papano matipid sa battery at mas maganda ang interface =)
kapag nokia ang gamit mo isa kang HAMPASLUPA!
kung ganun pala magiging hampaslupa na ko =) … switch na ko from samsung to nokia =)
why are you android fanboys bashing nokia for its OS? WP isnt an exclusive OS for nokia. samsung, htc, sony, LG, even motorola made phones with WP as its OS. nokia sticked with WP bcoz android is too generic, and optimization of the phones really do need higher specs to perform fluidly which makes the price higher as well. and little did you know, Symbian OS, nokia’s self made OS the 1st OS to use, make, create and optimize whatever android OS is doing right now, so whatever android is so falsely proud of, Symbian OS already did, and got bored of doing. :D
im a multi-OS phone user, i use my WP as a primary phone and my LG as a back up phone and i can throw my LG anytime for this badboy of a camphone xD
Eto na talaga ang dream phone ko.
Ang sarap mag-imagine na gamit gamit ko na to.
nag pe-pray talaga ako ng husto kay God para makabili ako nito, napakagandang magamit para sa mga AVP namin sa church.
Tulungan nu akong mag-pray ha. : )
about sa apps, ok lang sa akin kahit di kasing dami ng apps tulad ng sa android at ios.
Ewan ko ba, pero may appeal sa akin ang WP na di ko ma-resist, tapos ganda pa ng camera.
Para sa akin, panalo tlg ang mga Nokia Lumia Series.
Respeto lang po.wla naman sanang maghurimintado against sa post ko,d ako sanay sa ganong mga reactions.
God Bless.
ayos yung comment mo ha ..cge goodluck saten .. samsung galaxy s4 sana gusto ko .. pero lumia na lang ..
ang advantage lng na nakikita ko ng s4 zoom dito ay ang pagiging digicam form nya(mas madali hawakan ang ganung form pag kumukuha ng larawan) tska optical zoom.UN LNG
I’m actually using a lumia 820 and i have it on my hands for about 3 months until now. I must say camera is superb. No lags at all. Unlike the last phone that i had, samsung glaxy s3 which made a hufge disappointment to me. Lags everywhere. Even the camera. A garbage i must say. Even my friends who have their galxy s3s and iphones are jealous because of its performance. Fast and fluid. Camera is a knock ya. Haha in short. Walang binatbat. Dual led flash pa. Para ka na ring humawak ng digi cam. Lol
Sorry but nokia and windows phone os is a perfect match. Even samsung has its own windows phone, i still prefer nokia lumias over any other windows phones out there. Not android or ios.
The lumia 1020 is a great phone. Totally knocks down samsung galxy s4 zoom in design and performance. Ipagtanggol niyo na yang os niyo pero pagdating sa camera talong talo. Kahit 720, 820, 900, 920 o 800 pa yan na lumia. Panalo pa rin. :)))
gusto ko bumili ng 920 nang dumating ang 1020 wla na.., napaisip n nman ako., kaso sa price nya, mkakabili n ako ng 808 at 920, anu ba tlga? hhaha
@savage466 if you’re willing to wait for 1020, then push through it. lumia 920 is a flagship phone since then. kaya ayos lang ang lumia 920 :DDD
wala namang magandang feature ang phone nato kundi ang camera lang, everything else is pangit. bokia-lumpia.
and so kinagwapo mo na yan? palibhasa kase wala kang alam sa Nokia HAMPASLUPA!
bokia-lumpia
and so? what is important is what you think and how you would use the phone.
first, the blogger should read the amazing technology behind pureview and see the real purpose of the 41MP sensor.
second, the difference between his 24MP full frame nikon and this, would be the portability to image quality ratio.. I have a Nex 7 and a Lumia 920. but I am really interested in this phone.

“If I want to buy a really nice camera, I’ll go out an buy a really nice camera. What I won’t do is buy a phone because it has a decent camera on it, and that’s why I don’t think I’ll ever spend my own money on the Nokia Lumia 1020. To put it another way, would anyone buy the phone if it had an 8MP camera instead of 41MP? Exactly.”
“Nokia is really trying to sell you a brilliant camera, not a brilliant phone. Put that same camera in an Android device, and you can bet it’ll be in high demand. But in a Windows Phone 8 device, and at $300, it’s about as appealing as, well, a Windows Phone device.
Sorry, Nokia, but between my full-frame, 24MP Nikon DSLR and my good-enough smartphone cameras, I just don’t see why I’d fork over that much cash for the Lumia 1020.”

So you will spend 500 on a nikon and another 500 for an S4? No wonder America is deep in recession. Konting financial literacy, please!
