Nokia Lumia 1020: Smartphone can match the beautiful

Advertisement

The Nokia Lumia 1020 is a smartphone developed by Nokia. It runs Windows Phone 8, but is also Windows Phone 8.1 ready. It contains Nokia’s PureView technology, a pixel oversampling (a data binning technique) that reduces an image taken at full resolution into a lower resolution picture, thus achieving higher definition and light sensitivity, and enables lossless zoom.

No other smartphone can match the beautiful, detailed photos and vivid HD videos of the Nokia Lumia 1020. Experience the quality of the 41-megapixel camera, PureView technology, Optical Image Stabilization, and revolutionary zoom. Take stunning pictures while exploring the world of photography with Nokia Camera. And Nokia Rich Recording makes it possible to capture stunning HD video with distortion-free sound.

The PureView camera sensor is more than just a huge collection of pixels. It’s physically larger than the sensors in most smartphones and even some compact cameras. At 1/1.5in, it’s twice the size as the sensors in phones such as the HTC One, Apple iPhone 5S and Nokia Lumia 925, and 1.5 times larger than the sensor in our Best Buy-winning Canon Ixus 255 HS compact camera.

The Lumia 1020 ships with Nokia’s new Pro Camera application, allowing a greater degree of control over the camera settings than the standard Windows Phone in-built camera and can be set as the default imaging application when launched with the camera button.

Your moments captured like never before

The Nokia Lumia 1020 takes photos and video that no other smartphone can match with a 41 megapixel camera sensor, PureView technology, Optical Image Stabilisation and amazing high-resolution zoom.

Zoom. Reinvented

Capturing stunning images is easier than ever with the Nokia Camera app. Take your photos to a new level by adjusting focus, shutter speed, white balance and more with easy and intuitive controls.
