IPhone 5 and the Nokia
Tripod mounted
And the difference in detail resolution
Even comparing the Nokia's scaled down image

The editors didn't like
The lack of apps for the Windows 8 system
Windows Phone 8 app ecosystem
No expandable memory
$299 is a little pricey
A niche device
The Lumia 1020 is $100 pricier than most high-end smartphones. The lens makes it a little bulky. Multiple camera apps are confusing. It lacks manual f-stop control and presets for common shooting scenarios
Thick and bulky
Limited third-party app ecosystem
Camera app can be a little slow
Bulky
And has huge bump at the back that isn't aesthetically pleasing
Windows Phone 8 lacks photography apps to take advantage of camera
No expandable memory and no Qi wireless charging support
No expandable storage
Macro support on the camera is practically non-existent
Abstract: Ever since the announcement of the Nokia Lumia 1020, there's been little doubt that it'll be the smartphone to claim the prestigious title of “Best Cameraphone”. However, we can never be sure of something until we've seen it with our own eyes. That's w...

World-beating camera performance, Windows Phone 8 as consistent as ever, Solid build quality, Good call performance, Seriously, the camera is amazing
Big, cumbersome design, A bit costly for a Windows Phone flagship, Nonremovable battery, nonexpandable storage not as excusable with a 41MP camera,
So, should you snap up a Warthog of your own? Well, it depends. The Lumia 1020 exists, again, as a vehicle for its PureView camera. Being able to say that your phone packs a 41MP shooter appeals to some folks, and if you're one of them, then the 1020 ...
Bold, eyecatching and the best smartphone camera available today. Lives up to the hype. Excellent build quality and small improvements in design make the Lumia 1020 the crown jewel of Windows Phone for mid2013.
Expensive and niche, the Lumia 1020 will only appeal to those who are photography buffs. Though it improves upon the Lumia 920, it only does so in welcome but minor areas. Camera Pro app also needs some improvements. Design is a bit more awkward than prev
the Lumia 1020 offers small but substantial improvements in quality over the Lumia 920. Judging the device on its own, the unibody polycarbonate body exudes quality, feels like a smooth pebble and has no creak or moving parts. Ignoring the inevitable aw...
Best smartphone camera available, Gorgeous AMOLED screen, Great exclusive apps, Good sound volume, Clear call quality
Windows Phone 8 lacks certain apps, Windows Phone 8 still has some quirks, No microSD card support, Battery is not removable, Expensive $300 price tag
The Lumia 1020 lives and dies by its camera, and that camera is as amazing as Nokia claims. If you value high-quality shots above all else and you're on AT&T, we recommend you pick it up. There are a few downsides. The battery life isn't great, you will...
Samsung is attempting its own similar product with the Galaxy S4 Zoom, but that phone is super bulky. The Lumia 1020 actually fits in a pocket, looks awesome and works great. Call quality rocks, though the speakerphone isn't amazing, and the battery life ...
It’s clear that the Lumia 1020 isn’t for everyone. The size of the phone, although considerably improved over the 808, is still more of a pocket-filler than the flagships running iOS and Android, and while the PureView system itself is impressive, not...

Abstract: Nokia Lumia 1020 The Nokia Lumia 1020 is the phone Nokia promised it would deliver. The Lumia 1020, which has a 41-megapixel sensor and stakes its reputation on the cultivated power of its camera, is also the p...

Unparalleled photo & video quality, Lots of manual controls, Solid construction
Still a bit expensive, Specs are underwhelming, Weak battery life
If you haven’t noticed it yet, we’re a society that inherently loves to record our lives in digital imagery. Naturally, people are just inclined to snap photos, even random things they come across, just because they want to have that memory ingrained ...
