The Lumia 1020 comes in three colors (yellow, black and white), each with a matte finish and a coating that's both fingerprint- and dirt-resistant. (We can't say the same about those times it gets dropped facedown, so be careful.) Given its placement, the display likely stands a better chance of survival than most when the handset is dropped on its side. The Gorilla Glass 3 on the front of the 1020 is flush with the edges, so you don't feel any interruption when running your fingers from one end of the phone to the other. It uses a unibody polycarbonate chassis, which gives us great confidence in its durability. Take the hardware, for example: not unlike the vast majority of Nokia's high-end Lumia products, it's extremely well-built. Haven't immediately skipped down to the imaging section? We're happy to hear, because even though the camera is of crucial importance to the success of the 1020 - which must have initially been named the 909, since that's what it's called on the About screen - the experience you have using the rest of the phone is also vital to your overall enjoyment of the device. We were able to peel ourselves away from taking pictures long enough to jot down a few thoughts, so shoot below the break to take a closer look. Finally, the time has come for the company to launch the 808's WP8 counterpart, the Lumia 1020, and it's launching on AT&T this Friday for $300 as a US exclusive. A few months after the 808's release, we started seeing the first fruits of this effort in the Lumia 920, but there was work yet to be done.

Questions lingered immediately after: how is that actually going to work on a phone? Why Symbian? And when would it show up on Windows Phone, Nokia's OS of choice?Īs it turns out, the 808 PureView was the culmination of five years' worth of imaging experts putting their heads together, and Nokia wanted to get the proof of concept out the door while getting the innovative tech ready for Windows Phone. Who would have thought a Symbian-powered device would be a show-stealer - in 2012? After all, Elop had all but declared the platform dead one year before, and the idea of a smartphone with a 41-megapixel camera was an industry first. There was no shortage of stunned faces in the audience when Nokia CEO Stephen Elop announced the 808 PureView at Mobile World Congress 17 months ago.
