NOKIA LUMIA 1020 REVIEW
Their Windows Phone endeavors may have not been all smooth sailing for Nokia, but the Finnish company finally came up with the smartphone to beat - the Lumia 1020. Combining the best of both worlds - solid smartphone experience and an unrivaled camera, the Lumia 1020 promises to become the hero device that both Nokia and Microsoft so desperately need at this moment. Nokia just launched the Lumia 1020, and as soon as the the stage lights dimmed on Stephen Elop’s dazzling white shoes, Stuff was hot-footing it to the hands-on area to get up close and personal with what’s billed as a “game-changing” camera phone. The Lumia 1020 has a polycarbonate unibody, much like existing Lumia devices, and it feels comfy in your hand despite the rather large size; the edges are pleasingly curvy and there are few unsightly seams or breaks in the “flow”. The phone is a wee bit top-heavy due to the camera unit, which protrudes slightly, but that’s entirely forgiveable given what it’s housing. There's no doubt that Nokia knows how to make a phone, and with the 41MP sensor on the Lumia 1020, we're pretty excited. There are three main things that make the Lumia 1020's technology unique: the oversampling technology, which allows for very detailed images and cropping of photos; improved sensor and flash for low-light picture taking; and manual settings that allow you to adjust settings such as white balance, ISO (100-3200), exposure compensation, shutter speed (4 seconds to 1/16,000 second), and focus. The Nokia Lumia 1020 didn't stay in the factory long enough to get a quad-core chipset or a full HD screen - this kind of WP phones are probably set to arrive further down the road along with the next WP8 release. However, the Lumia 1020 can now make full use of the growing catalog of WP8 apps, which is now not too far behind Android and iOS as far as the most important titles are concerned and is even starting to get an exclusive app now and then. Then again the new Nokia flagship has quite the price tag to live up to, so it will need all the help it can get. Yesterday, we only got a chance for a quick hands-on after the launch event, but now that we have the Lumia 1020 in the comfort of our office, we are able to make it jump through some hoops and show its real worth.
