After an unprecedented amount of
leaks, Stephen Elop took the stage at the Nokia Zoom Reinvented event in New
York to proudly announce the Nokia Lumia 1020 -
the company's new Windows Phone 8 cameraphone flagship. The Nokia Lumia 1020's
centerpiece is the 41MP autofocus PureView camera with a huge (by smartphone
standards) 1/1.5" BSI sensor (slightly smaller than the 1/1.2" imager
inside the 808 PureView), 6-lens ZEISS optics and optical image stabilization.
It is coupled with LED flash used for video shooting and a proper xenon flash.The
Lumia 1020's optically stabilized 41MP image sensor that can snap 40MP and 5MP
photos at the same time – one straight off the sensor and one after Nokia's
Super sampling has been applied. The other 41MP cameraphone - 808 PureView can
only shoot one or the other at a time. To make the best out of this beast of a
camera, the Nokia ships the Lumia 1020 with its Pro Camera and Smart Camera
camera lens apps. They'll allow advanced users fiddle with the camera settings
and get the most out of the impressive shooter - there's even a full manual
mode, which is a rarity outside prosumer or pro-grade cameras. At the front,
there's a secondary 1.2MP wide-angle camera. Nokia Lumia 1020 can capture
videos of up to 1080p resolution and thanks to the high-res sensor it features
lossless zoom. You can zoom in up to 4 times in 1080p mode and up to 6 times
when shooting 720p video without sacrificing much in terms of quality. Sound is
recorded in stereo and is guaranteed to be crisp and deep thanks to the two
wide dynamic range microphones on board. The Nokia Lumia 1020 internals don't
bring many surprises as the smartphone is powered by the same Snapdragon S4
chipset with a 1.5GHz dual-core Krait CPU as the Nokia Lumia 925. A nice
addition is the 2GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage. As usual, Nokia and
Microsoft have teamed up and provide 7GB of free SkyDrive storage. You'll be
able to admire the beautiful photos taken with the 41MP camera on the 4.5"
Clear Black AMOLED display of 1280 x 768 pixels resolution. It is protected by
the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and features Nokia's PureMotion HD+ technology for
smoother animations. Super Sensitive Touch technology is present, too, allowing
you to operate the phone with gloves and nails. Nokia Glance Screen is
available thanks to the Windows Phone 8 Amber update. Local Connectivity is
standard and includes Bluetooth 3.0, NFC (featuring SIM-based security),
dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and GPS with Glonass support. Network support is
quite wide covered with quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, 42Mbps UMTS/HSPA and LTE
support. The Nokia Lumia 1020 is powered by a 2000mAh capacity and supports
wireless charging via an accessory cover (purchased separately). The Finns say
the phone will be able to last 16 days on standby and provide 13.3 hours of
talk time. Video and music playback endurance are rated at 6.8 and 63 hours,
respectively. This impressive camera module is certainly pretty large, but the
Lumia 1020 isn't too bulky overall. At 130.4 x 71.4 x 10.4 mm, the smartphone
is pretty much the same size as the Lumia 920, except that this time there's a large bump on
the back. The Lumia 1020 is also lighter than its predecessor, tipping the
scales at 158 grams. The Nokia Lumia 1020 will be available in yellow, white
and black. It will hit AT&T on July 26 for $299.99 with a two-year
contract. If you want to be among the first to have it, you can pre-orders your
unit starting from July 16. The Nokia Lumia 1020 is then expected to arrive in
China and key European markets before the end of the quarter. Nokia plans to
ship an exclusive variant of the device with Telefonica to select European and
Latin American markets. The Nokia Lumia 1020 has
yet to get an official announcement, and the leaks just keep on pouring in. The
latest one has a YouTube channel with almost a hundred videos showing off the
1080p video recording capabilities of the new Nokia device in all its glory. Although
there are no low-light samples, everything from cars to dogs has been shot,
including some great-looking macro shots of flowers. The video stabilization
looks top notch, although there is some blurring along the right side of the
frame, which may be due to a faulty prototype unit. Here are some highlights: The AT&T promo videos mention full manual zoom on the Lumia
1020, and this last video shows the impressive quick zoom capabilities. The
show is now over, but if you've missed it, here's your chance to watch the
replay of the event that officially lifted the veil off the latest Lumia 1020
camera phone. We've already covered all the details about the phone and its
availability, but it's still worth watching Stephen Elop, Nokia's CEO,
presenting the thing on stage. We've seen lots of leaks already and we've
published the specs, the images, sample photos and videos, even pricing and accessories. Still, it
would be nice to Nokia's presentation as the leaks are bound to have missed a
salient detail or two and they tell us nothing of Nokia's plans for the future.
Will the Lumia 1020 be a one-off superiority device or the first model of many?
