The editors didn't like
Still a bit expensive
Specs are underwhelming
Weak battery life
It's pricer than most other highend smartphones. Sometimes lighting and focus in shots are off and a reshoot is required. There is no burst mode
And there is a significant delay in between shots. The device also takes a long time to charge
And tends to
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
Still missing quite a few apps
Especially games
Camera may be too good for simple social network sharing
Glance Screen is a wasted potential
Doesn't come in cyan
That bulge
With the grip
It's pretty huge
Windows Phone today is barely changed from Windows Phone as it was 9 months ago
A little slow
Especially between shots
Limited range of apps
No faster than the Lumia 920
Still a premium price
Shutter lag (1-2 seconds between shots)
Incomplete app ecosystem
More expensive than other flagship smartphones
Big and heavy for a 4.5" smartphone
Big. Expensive. Slow shot-to-shot times. Windows Phone is out of the mainstream for photo apps and communities
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
Bulky backside
Noticeable lag on shutter and shot-to-shot time
Windows Phone still trails in apps and features
Pricey
Too many separate photo apps
Lack of expandable storage
Older hardware
Flash white balance issues
Pro cam app lags
Non-expandable
Subpar battery life
Processor is a bit dated
Resulting in sluggish camera-response time
Consumer testers found the phone's shape awkward
Less portable compared to smaller/slimmer phones in testing set

Nokia has built the Lumia 1020 around a fairly modest dualcore 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 SoC — the same as used in the Lumia 920 and 820. Those two handsets have 1GB of RAM
But the memory has been boosted to 2GB for the Lumia 1020

Slightly tendency to underexposure outdoors

Best camera on any mobile device, LTE connectivity, great sound and video recording abilities, good performance thanks to non-resource intensive Windows Phone 8 OS and 2 GB or RAM, good display, and well screwed together
Not the thinnest, lightest or most premium feeling Windows Phone smartphone, not up to date in terms of specs when compared against its rivals, expensive, and app gap between Windows Phone Store and Google Play/App Store
Abstract: While most makers are coming up with all sorts of different dual camera setups, Huawei figured that's no longer enough and fitted three on the back of the P20 Pro. But 3 is not the number that's captivated us most; rather, it's 40 - the P20 Pro comes with...

The screaming headline on the Lumia 1020 is the camera. The 41MP shooting star doesn't disappoint, proving it is the best camera in a compact body. Samsung tried something similar with the Galaxy S4 Zoom, but clearly lost the plot with the design. Nokia h...
No storage expansion, Shot to shot time can be slow,
