Nokia Lumia 1020 (which is also known as Nokia EOS, Nokia 909, Nokia RM-875, Nokia RM-877, Nokia RM-876) is the latest addition by Nokia to their Nokia Lumia series. The Nokia Lumia 1020 is a Windows phone with 41MP camera. Unveiling the Nokia Lumia 1020 in an event in New York few days ago by the Nokia CEO Stephen Elop called it a “flagship device”. The Nokia Lumia 1020 is uniquely remembered for its camera feature which has seen a great improvement from the 8MP in Nokia Lumia 920 to 41MP in Nokia Lumia 1020. The camera is definitely the most interesting part of this phone, combining 41MP sensor with 6-element optically stabilized lens and enabling 3x Zoom and a xenon flash for brighter low-light performance.

This feature and other features I am about to discuss below has made the Nokia Lumia 1020 a beauty to behold. Nokia is known for quality and the Nokia Lumia 1020 has even promised to bring more quality to the competition. This phone will definitely put back Nokia into the mobile phone market after it has seen Samsung dominate the market for awhile longer with its great releases recently.
