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

Doesn't come in cyan

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

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

On both image quality and functionality, the Lumia 1020 has the best camera thATT#39;s ever been put in a smartphone. Hands Down. And it's also a very capable phone; it's fast, and its display is every bit as crisp and wonderful as the 928. And all of that in
It is completely unreasonable to say that I would prefer if the camera did not take over a second to save the beautiful images it takes since what it's doing with that time is crunching a kiloton of data, but yes, it would be nice if the images saved fast
