41mp sensor! Excellent low light performance. Lossless cropping. Provides an amazing amount of zoom without much bulk. Excellent build quality thanks to polycarbonate material and Guerrilla Glass 3 display. Display is supersensitive. Great video quality.

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
Windows app store is limited compared to Apple an
Design is bulky
No HD 1080p support
Features
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
There's
Windows Phone 8 lacks certain apps
Windows Phone 8 still has some quirks

Cumbersome design
A bit costly for a Windows Phone flagship

Overly long exposure times lead to motion blur
Slightly tendency to underexposure outdoors
Occasional white balance inaccuracies outdoors or with fluorescent l
Superbe appareil photo d'une résolution de 41 MP, Bonne qualité d'assemblage, Plutôt rapide, Module LTE intégré
Prix public élevé, Une dalle Full HD aurait été la bienvenue, Batterie inamovible, non remplaçable, Pas de possibilité d'extension de la capacité de stockage
Très bon appareil photo, Très bonnes finitions globales, Ergonomie logiciel/matériel
Positionnement / prix discutable, Sautillements à l'écran
Faut-il se laisser tenter par le Lumia 1020 ? Ca dépend de vos besoins! Au travers de nos tests, ce dernier se distingue essentiellement par ses caractéristiques en tant que photophone. Le châssis, le système et les performances restent sensiblement iden...
Plus volumineux que ses concurrents les plus redoutables, Le Lumia 1020 séduira surtout ceux qui privilégient la fonction photo/vidéo à la téléphonie. En basse lumière, ce Windows Phone puissant et réactif se montre très convaincant. Moins lorsqu'il...

Bon smartphone, Qualité photo inédite pour un smartphone, Faible encombrement
Un peu lent en photo, Manque d'apps photo et vidéo, Cher
Il y a quelques années Nokia avait essayé avec un succès limité de lancer un smartphone dédié à la photo : le PureView 808. Malgré un premier échec le finlandais récidive, avec toutefois un appareil bien plus séduisant....
Belles finitions, Qualité du mode téléphone, Mode photo très complet, proche d'un APN (molettes, options), Expérience photo globale/rendu en 5 Mpixels, Réactivité globale du terminal, Très bon contraste de l'écran et noirs très profonds, Le grip (option),
Netteté qui manque d'homogénéité, Seulement 5 mégapixels pour partager ses clichés en direct, Rendu d'images en 38 Mpixels, Autofocus / Temps d'enregistrement de l'image, Teinte bleutée de l'écran AMOLED, Bords très larges et prise en main perfectible
Annoncé comme un tueur de compact, le Lumia 1020 n'est au final qu'une étape supplémentaire qui nous approche sans doute de l'objectif initial. Des imperfections techniques et logicielles empêchent ainsi son capteur PureView de 41 mégapixels de faire vrai...
Lenteur de fonctionnement et d'AF, Optique a du mal à suivre / pb dynamique, Sur-échantil. apporte peu à sensibilité, Pas de HDR / Prévis écran trompeuse
Connaissant de quoi était capable le 808 PureView, il n'y avait guère de doute sur le fait que le Lumia 1020 allait placer la barre très haut en matière de qualité d'image brute. Le mode opératoire s'est amélioré (zoom plus souple) et simplifié (prise de...

Oui, le Nokia Lumia 1020 est le meilleur smartphone pour sa fonction photo.Ne cherchez pas, le constructeur finlandais garde sa suprématie incontestable sur le sujet, même si certains concurrents (qui à parlé de Sam***g ?) ont tenté l'expérience avec des...
Un véritable appareil photo / caméscope, capture du son de grande qualité, nombreux réglages disponibles, l'originalité du zoom par échantillonnage, finition et impression de solidité, écran efficace
Pas un modèle de compacité, pas de slot pour carte mémoire, réactivité au démarrage, lenteur dans la mise au point, Windows Phone 8 en progrés mais encore perfectible coté contenu et ergonomie
