Nokia Lumia 1020 Review

Description

The Lumia 1020 combines the groundbreaking PureView Phase 1 and Phase 2 mobile camera technologies of Nokia for the first time. It matches a big 1/1.5” 41 MP sensor with optical image stabilization tech, and allows 3x lossless zoom without any moving parts in photo, and up to 6x in 720p video mode. The six-element lens ZEISS optics and Nokia's pixel binning technology add to the unrivaled picture and video quality that are more akin to a prosumer camera than to a humble mobile phone. Nokia didn't stop here, though, and equipped the Lumia 1020 with HAAC mics capable of high-fidelity stereo recording, for the ultimate media machine on the go.

This device is also known as Nokia Elvis, Nokia EOS, Nokia 909

Excellent
Phone owned for more than a year

Been using it for Gaming, Business and Photography. Still a must but in 2017.
With Windows 8.1 it is a smooth device which might be discarded by others but is a great device. This dose not however dose not have Windows 10 support yet.

Great phone, Amazing camera
Phone owned for more than a year

This is the best Nokia phone that I've had for a while. Amazing camera and performance. Only negative of this phone is that it's using Windows which means not enough apps in store. Otherwise, I've used this phone for over 2 years and I totally love it!

4 star phone.
Phone owned for more than a year

I would give this handset a straight 5 star, if there would be not this focus issue. On closeup objects it focusses and then snaps back into blurred. Manually it works. But that is a bit fiddling.
Check https://liebdich.biz for my photos with the camera.
