Nokia Lumia 1020 in red surfaces, coming to AT&T

Nokia Lumia 1020 in red surfaces, coming to AT&T

A mysterious image of an unknown red Nokia Lumia with Nokia’s Pro Cam installed and AT&T’s logo on top has just leaked from @evleaks. The leaker wonders whether this is “a dream or …. ?” on Twitter, but on its Chinese microblogging account he asserts that the image is indeed of the red Lumia 1020.

So far, Nokia’s 41-megapixel camera superphone, the Lumia 1020, has only been made available in black, yellow and white. The other colors Nokia is known for like cyan and red have been weirdly missing so far.

If this is indeed an image of a Lumia 1020, Nokia might have just wanted to space out the launch of different color versions as a marketing strategy. What do you think the mysterious red device is?

The biggest mistake that Nokia did to this phone is pricing this too high for last year specs. Lumia 1020 should have next gen WP specs.

I'm sick and tired from so called specs!!! If your phone runs well and suits you, why you should care about specs? Resolution of the screen - Apple start this stupid Retina display, that is completly useless. Then smartphones became with full HD resolution on 5" screen?!? For what??? To drain battery and need quad or octa cores in CPU? Can you see the dots on your screen on 200 ppi? Yes, you can but....with spy glass!

Exactly. The way I see it, 1020 is the best phone on the market. 925, with its "last year specs" actually performs more smoothly than S4 and One and this one has double the RAM.

Why wouldn't it cause it's still not a finishef project: "still half-baked unmatured OS" why not we put the Android OS on this phone! It would lag even more! Stop comparing a half-produced OS to a Full Android OS™ It will take Wp10 to be on par with Android. Till then wait a very Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time for Apps and games and updates. Cause there is no Custom Rom or Kernels nor jailbreak to help.

I'm sick of this myth. Quadcore and higher clock speed DOES NOT mean you lose battery life. Just look at the S4 LTE Advanced, it has a higher clocked S800 than the regular S4, yet gets better battery life than the normal S4 (see every article about it). Better specs doesn't mean you give up battery life. If anything, you gain batter life from using a newer CPU and GPU architecture. Now about screen resolution. I agree. Generally, 720p is good enough. What matters more is color accuracy, screen type, how long it lasts, durability, etc

Hey dumb ass! All Windows coming(including Nokia) out with next gen processors(quad core) this year or early next year. Rumor mill is already spitting out next gen WP devices and can be seen right now in Phone Arena. So basically, it is like Lumia 900 and Lumia 920 senario all over again. Also, current Lumia 920-925 have the shortest battery life than current Android flagship phones like the S4 and there is a recent topic on this site to prove it. DAMN YOU FANBOYS! You don't listen to logic. FYI, this might be its Nokia flagship: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Nokia-Rivendale-and-HTC-Z4-codenames-appear-could-they-be-the-next-major-launch_id45395

I bet you that these folks in the Windows camp never played the coolest high graphic games like Real Racing 3 and Asphalt 7.

Well first of it is available on wp8 and secondly talking aout games... I have an android and ios and dont have a single game, because I use it for business, if i want to play games I rather use a pc or a console. Proof that is on wp8:http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/asphalt-7-heat/013e9108-6170-496f-9328-3b57f2b4732f

Not true at all! Wp8 don't lag at all. Android lags just flipping through home screens!

Of course these games will never match consoles or PCs. You completely missed the point.

I actually have both of those games on my Lumia 920. They both run lag free. I think it is hilarious that you guys are trying to make a point about WP8 not having high end games by naming 2 high end games that actually are on WP8.

Amen! Android users are the only idiots that care bout specs cause android is the only software that needs quad core cpu's to run kind of smooth. 1080p looks great but so does 720 specially on a screen less then 5inches. Really hope Cyan 1020 comes to AT&T

$660 unlocked is not expensive; when 808 PureView was launched last year, the price was around $600. When Lumia 920 was launched last year, it was $650.

I don't see why they'd price 1020 over 920 (299 vs 99) if the off-contract price is same. Probably because they are still selling 920 on at&t and don't want to discontinue it.

How much it costs on carrier depends on how much the carrier is willing to subsidize it. But from the off-contract price it is definitely not expensive, and i think Nokia doesnt want to cannibalize the sales of the 920.

I agree that phone with last year's spec should not be priced high. BUT.. The Lumia 1020 has PREMIUM Camera that No other OEM has. That alone should justify its price. Also, aside from the processor, the Lumia 920 also has some of the last years high end specs including Hyper sensitive screen, Rich audio recording and Wireless Charging. And be patient, a version of the Lumia 1020 with next gen WP specs will be available as soon as Microsoft do their homework. It's not Nokia's fault that WP hasn't supported Quadcore Proc yet.

How did this turn into talks about price? Dumb fandroid comments again.. anyways on to red. I would rather have it in red than any of the current colors. I'd like to see matte red though
