Lumia 1020 - Take creative shots with sharp shooter

Dubai: The Lumia 1020 is Nokia’s flagship smartphone and the first in the Windows series to feature the PureView imaging technology. Nokia launched this technology on Symbian platform last year. The technology features a large image sensor (41 megapixels) that allows for higher quality images and greater zoom levels with little loss in quality.

The camera is definitely the Lumia 1020’s hero feature but let’s take a look at the rest of the hardware. The 1020 retains the Lumia’s candybar form factor. It looks similar to the 920 — full screen on the front with three soft touch buttons (back, home and search).

It may not seem important, but the placement of buttons on the Lumia phones is very well thought out. The dedicated camera button is a great idea in theory but it does take a few seconds to go from standby to taking the picture. The bottom speaker grill means your sound will never be muffled — surprisingly many manufacturers get this wrong. There is a bulge on the back because of the camera so you device will never sit flat. However the camera and flash are recessed so you don’t have to worry about scratching them.

The device is heavier than many other smartphones (158g) but it feels solid in the hand. The Lumia 1020 has a smooth matte finish which is a welcome change from the glossy back the Lumia 920 featured.
