If you recognize with the Lumia line of phones, the 1020 should not look that foreign to you. Its curve and total shape are evocative the Lumia 920, and the smaller sized Lumia 820.

Design

On the face of the gadget, you'll discover a 4.5-inch 1280 x 720 touchscreen display. The left edge of the gadget, if you're dealing with the display, is clean and devoid of any buttons or ports. The right side of Lumia 1020 has power/standby, a volume button and a devoted video camera button.

At the base of the gadget you'll discover the micro-USB charging port and speaker/microphone. Up leading, there is a SIM card tray, 3.5 mm headset jack and an additional microphone for sound cancellation.

The back of the gadget is possibly the most visible, with its huge cam module, Xenon flash, LED light and cam lens. It extends enough from the gadget that it never ever lays flat on its back. The Lumia 1020 likewise can be found in yellow and white.

For those of you thinking about internals, there is a Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core 1.5 GHz processor, 2 GB RAM and 32 GB memory and a 2,000 mAh battery.

User interface and performance

This variation of Windows Phone 8 is called Amber, readily available just to Nokia gadgets, and it's the current variation of the Microsoft platform. You can do brand-new things with the Amber upgrade like double tap the display to turn it on and flip your phone to silence it. And if you enjoy tailoring your gadget, there are a handful of brand-new wallpapers included.

In regards to daily performance, I experienced no lag or hiccoughs at all. Scrolling with the home page or within apps is smooth, compared to the Android experience on some devices. The apps and tiles have awesome animations, too, when you're launching or closing them or seeing your alerts.

Camera

The cam module in the Lumia 1020 is huge. While the smartphone itself is smaller sized than its predecessor, the Lumia 920, the video camera makes it feel a bit even more awkward.

Nokia Pro Camera is the default cam app, and it's user-friendly enough if you have any experience making use of a DSLR or compact cam. It provides even more control over focus and exposure than the majority of smartphone video cameras, however Nokia's claim that numerous of these functions are discovered just on a DSLR isn't really completely real.

While the Lumia 1020's software application provides you more control than your typical smartphone video camera, it does not provide you the exact same control or versatility as a point-and-shoot video camera or DSLR.

Call quality, connection and battery life

Call quality on the Lumia 1020 is terrific for a cam. When outdoors, specifically with a great deal of ambient sound, it gets a little more challenging to hear callers. The earpiece isn't really as loud as various other smartphones on the marketplace, like the HTC One.
The gadget likewise supports Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g / n, Bluetooth 3.0, NFC and LTE bands 2, 4, 5 and 17. Battery life is likewise great. The 2,000 mAh system inside appears paltry compared with the Android beasts out there, however it quickly lasted us a day of routine use.
