Abstract: The Lumia 1020 is the most capable camera smartphone on the market but it's about more than just the 41MP image. Thanks to Nokia's PureView technology and oversampling, the 41 million pixels can be used to create some stunning images. The large image size...

Outstanding camera; Good battery; Smooth performance
Expensive; Bulky; Windows Phone OS needs work
Nokia aims to attract users with the 41-megapixel camera and it's great - but the price and lack of features in Windows Phone makes the Lumia 1020 hard to recommend....
Abstract: With a lot of people now taking more and more photos on their mobile phones, a decent camera has become something we all look to have. Until now, the megapixel race hit a wall around the 13 megapixel mark. To be honest this resolution is really good f...
Quality finish, Tons of camera features, similar to a digital camera (thumb wheel settings, options, etc.), Overall camera phone experience and 5 Mpx picture quality, Responsiveness, Screen: excellent contrast and deep black, Optional grip works great, go
41 Mpx images not uniformly sharp across the frame, Social networkfriendly pics are only 5 Mpx, 38 Mpx photo quality, Autofocus errors & slow shooting, Blue overtones on AMOLED screen, Wide borders, handling could be better
Hailed by many as a compact camera in the shape of a smartphone, the Lumia 1020 isn't quite that. It's certainly the next great step in that direction, and indeed an excellent camera phone—the 5 Mpx images are fantastic—but a number of imperfections preve...
The 1020 follows in the same polycarbonate mould as Nokia's previous Lumia handsets. Our model came in a bright banana-yellow, and while it's also available in black and white, we'd go for the yellow every time. It really stands out in a sea of black and white devices. Despite the monster 41-megapixel sensor, the 1020 is still pretty slim, unlike the 808 PureView, which was quite chunky. Even wit
As a phone, or a camera, there's not much to fault the Lumia 1020 on. But Windows Phone 8 is its Achilles' heel. Unfortunately the OS still lacks plenty of apps that are commonplace on Android or iOS. Instagram, for one, which would pair up perfectly with the 41-megapixel shooter.The camera also lacks an optical zoom. But this isn't too much of an issue, as you can zoom right into such high-resol
Not only is the Lumia 1020 the best cameraphone we've seen, but it's easily the best Windows Phone ever. With incredible imaging abilities, a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some strong software smarts, it easily beats the competition. If you want a great c...
Sensational highresolution sensor, lots of effects, neat styling.
Some shutter lag and some will find the photographic emphasis too niche
Big and colourful, the Nokia Lumia 1020 is an unmatched camera phone. Some are faster, but none beats the 41-megapixel sensor here. It's also an accomplished Windows Phone 8 handset, with a lot going for it....
Good camera and features; Bright, colourful display; Neat, bright design
The Lumia 1020 features a powerful Carl Zeiss 41-megapixel lens and yet Nokia has managed to retain the slim chassis – it's just a shame about the disappointing auto mode and the dearth of apps...
Nokia's Lumia 1020 is a beautiful phone, expertly put together and with a stellar camera included. It's one of our favourite handsets of 2013.The problem is, it's held back by one simple thing: Windows Phone. As an operating system, it just isn't evolved...

Abstract: Nokia's marketing department is comparing its new imaging champ, the Lumia 1020 smartphone, to digital SLR cameras. That's just silly. But what the Lumia 1020 can lay claim to is that it takes the best photos of any current modern smartphone – by a clea...
