Nokia Lumia 1020 : Super Camera Phone




Last year when Nokia released Nokia PureView 808 with highest ever 41 Mega Pixel lens, it created waves but unfortunately it was a failure for them. But still Nokia is not loosing their confidence in their camera technology bonding with their smartphones. They are back with another flagship phone which is powered by Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system.

New Nokia Lumia also features same 41 MP lens which was introduced in earlier 808 PureView phone. Last month in Berlin, when Sony launched their latest flagship phone Xperia Z1 which have 20 MP camera and they claimed that their phone have best camera among all other phones. So Nokia comes back into the competition with another superior camera phone. Even Samsung also has Galaxy S4 Zoom with very advance camera. So according to me, after competition in display size. It is time to war in terms of camera between these multi national companies. So let's check camera performance of this phone.


Camera Review

The phone have a 41 mega pixel lens but practically you will only get 34 mega pixel resolution to capture a picture for 16:8 aspect ratio. If you want picture with 4:3 aspect ration then they can be captured at 38 mega pixels.

One very innovative feature in this phone is Looseless Zoom,where you can crop your picture from higher resolution picture without loosing any type of clarity of the picture. 
If you compare regular images with 5 mega pixel using this phone. Then I must say that they beats all the phones which have 5 mega pixel or even 8 mega pixel camera. Surely it's a clear winner. 

Other specifications of this phones camera are, 3X digital zoom, optical image stabilization, ISO settings 100 to 4000 and very important shutter speed which offers 1 to 16000, Smart Cam & Camera 360.

The phone captures excellent pictures in normal conditions. But I found out one big issue is, the processing rate of the picture is slow. If you want to picture very quickly one by one, then this can disappoint you.  Another issue is, pictures taken in artificial light and close up shots are above average. They are actually not good. 

So,overall the phone achieves our expectations with having great camera details. So thumbs up for this phone in terms of the camera department.

Rest of all

If you remove the 41 mega pixel camera from this phone, then it is totally Lumia 920. The phone have same hardware specifications and software. The phone heats up when you use the camera for long time. Except that, this phone runs really smooth with Windows Mobile OS.

Conclusion

Now last words, if you actually want a more camera then smartphone then this phone is really a hot choice. But if you want a better mixture of hardware, software and camera then you must consider other phones like iPhone 5 & 5S, Xperia Z1, Galaxy S4.
