Nokia Lumia 1020 now official: the 41MP Windows Phone

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  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 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.

  1. I’m a Samsung fanboy and what the heck is this?

  2. Ganda ng Lumia 1020!!! Best camera phone!

  3. This baby destroys all smartphone cameras even the s4 zoom

  4. to Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom: This is how to create a camera phone

  5. I thought S4 Pro only accommodates up to 20MP camera sensor.

    Anyway I’m confused what chipset is powering this device Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon is an S4 Plus right? Correct me if I’m wrong. And MSM8960T is the S4 Pro.

  6. Another model, another disappointment. Nokia should finally admit that it won’t go anywhere unless it adopts Android. That is proven already, their Windows Phones are going nowhere.

    As for this one, who would want to pay for a premium price for a dual-core phone? This again shows Nokia being slow when adopting new technology. Flagship phones are going quad-core, and yet they are still stuck to dual-core.

  7. litong lito na ako sa daming smartphone na lumalabas. pero mukang pantapat to dun sa samsung galaxy camera. sobrang ganda siguro ng color production nito dahil sa amoled tamang tama pang photos lalo na pang instagram bago kumain haha.

  8. sana best ang camera talaga no?

    im hoping for the best Nokia!

    sana okay na din ang apps.

    #excited

  9. It’s still a Windows phone. Meaning walang Gravity Screen Off, Go SMS Pro, Pulse aggregator, Multiling Keyboard na may Tagalag at Bisaya dictionaries, Greenify, SD Speed Increase at marami pang iba. I’ll stick to Android, thank you.

  10. Oh no you didn’t! My gosh! The patutyal iSheeps and the lagdroids are foaming sa super duper inggit right now. They will never, ever, never, forever get DLSR-quality photos and an oh-la-la design ever!

    Mangisay kayo sa inggit lagdroids and iSheeps!

    Kisay pa!

  11. Atleast Lumias like this phone doesn’t have depreciation like most of the newly-released Android phone. Almost every month or every week, a new Android phone is released which makes the previously-released one look like crap. Lumias are different in their own way, and buying a lower end Lumia model doesn’t make you look like crap but instead makes you look unique.

    And Android is purely nonsense. It’s fine that they’ve updated everything they know about since scratch but I haven’t seen anything new that they have been working on. Nokia is working everyday to produce different innovations to the world that can stay on-top of the class.

    And they (my fellow Nokia Fanboys)are right, if you’re on a Lumia, nobody freaking needs an over-clocked quad core chipset nor an eight-core version. Nokia knows perfection and they make sure everything works as fluid, if not, even faster and smoother than the high-end, overpowered phones.

  12. are you sure it’s for only $299? Like, just 12K PHP? i guess it’s over 25,000 PHP or $ 650

  13. Woohoo way to go Nokia!! The 92x’s camera already blows the competition out of the water, pano pa kaya ito?! I will surely upgrade my 920 to this one. Sana available agad dito saatin. I love the Lumia. Replaced my 4s and I never looked back.

    Lumia 1020 + ipad mini = perfection!

  14. Nokia Rules!

  15. im an android user here(sg ace) im happy with its OS but i wished i got a windows because of its table system,ung tungkol sa apps naman nagdoubt ako sa windows pero nung nagandroid nako d ko rin naman pla namaximize ungpagkadami ng apps,d rin ako nagkainteres sa ibang apps tska d magtatagal dadami din yan…maganda ang windows kasi ang nokia gumagawa cla ng phone na optimized sa OS unlike sa android na gawa ng phone then saka itetest kung ok ung OS kahit laggy (kahit sgs4 naglalag din daw)

  16. Nacacahiya ang Samsung S4 Zoom.

  17. It is so funny how DESPERATE Nokia’s marketing is these days. No matter how many TROLLS you unleash in the internet, at the end of the day Android is still a better product. People will decide that, and they have, hence the failure of Windows Phone to even make a DENT in the Android market.

    No amount of MARKETING or TROLLING will change that.

  18. I have a Note 2 and a Lumia 720 and I love them both. I am an Android fangirl, but I also admire Nokia’s workmanship.

    I don’t understand the hate. WP8 can’t match the possibilities offered by an Android, but it’s a beautiful and very efficient OS. And I often wish my Note 2 was built like my Lumia. I’m excited for this device, but I’m scared of the price.

  19. Y d bigtym stars n US(jilo,kelly clarkson etc.) Lumia gamit nila…
    Kc nandon ang quality..

    “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.”

  21. 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.

  22. bokia-lumpia

  23. wala namang magandang feature ang phone nato kundi ang camera lang, everything else is pangit. bokia-lumpia.

  24. 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. :)))

  25. 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

  26. 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.

  27. 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

  28. kapag nokia ang gamit mo isa kang HAMPASLUPA!

  29. 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.) ..
