The phone was the first to integrate a camera that could match and at times beat many low-end and midrange dedicated camera devices. On paper the idea bristled with possibility, offering avid photographers, an all in one device that could handle all their mobile work needs.
But "Nokia 808 Preview" come its release featuring an outdated Symbian operating system, underpowered processor and bulky design, the Nokia 808 Pureview never really caught on and is instead largely remembered as a proof of concept and indicator of Nokia's future Windows Phone plans.
Now Nokia has decided to come with another Pureview, this time loading a new hyper sophisticated and refined version of the 808's Pureview camera technology into its Lumia 1020 Windows Phone 8 smartphone (A.K.A Nokia 909).
Design and build
Visually the Nokia Lumia 1020 is more like the Lumia 920 than Nokia's newer Lumia 925. The Lumia 1020 ditches the metallic trim and plastic backplate of the new phone for the unibody polycarbonate design reminiscent of older Lumias. In hand, the Lumia 1020 still felt well built and robust.
Am surprise how much Nokia has shrunk the Pureview camera technology in the Lumia 1020, with the handset measuring 130x71x10.4mm and weighing 158g. While 158g is heavier than average for a smartphone, it is significantly lighter than other super camera phones, like the 808 Pureview and even the 200g- plus Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom.
Display
The Nokia Lumia 1020 was built with a 4.5inAmoled HD+ 1280x768 Gorilla Glass 3 coated display.
The Lumia 1020 performance on the brightly lit showroom floor was impressive, with it remaining legible and usable even when hit directly with a bright lamp. Maybe due to the inclusion of the high-brightness, Sunlight Readability and Clearblack technologies seen on the Lumia 925.
Puremotion is a nifty bit of tech designed to improve how animations run on the device, making it smoother to look at and use. Finally super sensitive touch does what it says on the tin, making the screen more sensitive to use inputs - so much so it makes it so people can use the phone while wearing gloves.
Operating system and software
The Nokia Lumia 1020 runs on Microsoft's
Windows Phone 8 mobile operating system and features all the latest apps and productivity features from both Microsoft and Nokia.
This means as well as the operating system's inbuilt Outlook, Microsoft Office, Lync and Skype features, the Lumia 1020 also boasts the latest versions of Nokia's Here locations services - which are a massive boon, loading faster than their inbuilt Bing equivalents and in general offering more accurate information.
Performance
In terms of raw muscle the Lumia 1020 isn't a massivestep up from the Lumia 920 or 925, coming with a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and 2GB of RAM. The performance is super cool, with it opening applications in seconds and dealing with any task threw at it.
Camera
The Nokia Lumia 1020's 41MP rear camera is undeniably its key selling point, with Nokia claiming it is the most advanced ever seen on a mobile device, featuring a 1/1.2in BSI sensor, 6-lens Zeiss wide-angle optics, optical image stabilization and Xenon flash as well as new oversampling and generation two image stabilisation technology.
The Oversampling and image stabilisation technology is designed to radically improve video and photodetail levels.
The high megapixel count also lets the Lumia 1020, like the 808 Pureview, capture 5MP images that look just as clean and crisp as those taken on any other top end phone at 6X zoom - a serious achievement considering how bad most smartphone's zoom features are. As an added benefit for those looking to share their photos while shooting at a high megapixel quality, the Lumia 1020 also features a dual shoot feature. The feature makes the 1020 shoot a high resolution 38 megapixel image for high-end use while simultaneously creating a 5MP picture small enough to be uploaded to Facebook or Twitter.
The six camera elements and flash components are also meant to radically improve the Nokia Lumia 1020's low light performance.
Storage and battery
The Lumia 1020 comes with 32GB of internal storage, though on the demo unit, it had only 29GB that was usable. The device is powered by a 2,000mAh battery, which sadly doesn't boast in-built wireless charging support. Instead, as was the case with Lumia 925, those that want wireless charging will have to shell out for an extra attachable clip case. Nokia claims the battery will last a full day on one charge.
