 "Lumia 1020 spotted on Nokia's Indian website")
Nokia has more-or-less confirmed that the recently-unveiled Lumia 1020 will definitely be making its way to India. Details about the smartphone have popped up on Nokia’s Indian website. However, there is no price tag or definitive release date anywhere on the page. There is, however, an option that lets those who are interested in the smartphone to sign up and be notified when the Lumia 1020 hits Indian shores.
When the phone was unveiled , Nokia had announced that the phone will first launch on US carrier AT&T this 26th and is priced $299.99 (Approx Rs 18,000) for a two-year contract.
No word on Indian pricing or release date yet
Everything else can wait, first let’s talk about this camera. The 41 megapixel camera is making a second appearance in Nokia’s portfolio after the inaugural Pureview phone, 808. This Windows Phone 8 device has the second-generation sensor. Nokia claims this is the largest back side illuminated (BSI) sensor available on a smartphone.
The Lumia 1020 also boasts of Nokia’s second-generation optical image stabilisation (OIS) engine, Zeiss optics with a 6-lens array. There’s a manual shutter and xenon flash too, to help things along. The camera can shoot full HD video at 30 fps with impressive numbers for lossless zoom – 4x in 1080p, 6x in 720p. Manual controls include flash, focus, ISO, shutter speed, white balance and exposure. On the software side of things, Nokia Pro Camera brings some new editing tools to adjust pictures after the fact.
As for the rest, this one is exactly like the Lumia 920 or the Lumia 925 after that. It comes with a 4.5-inch AMOLED 720p display protected by Gorilla Glass 3 – and that’s glove-friendly. It also has the same processor as those Lumia smartphones - a dual-core Snapdragon S4 clocked at 1.5Ghz. AT&T customers get 50GB of cloud storage, but the Lumia 1020 comes with 32GB of internal memory.
Ever heard of one of those people who just never seem to shut up about something? Shunal is like the nerd equivalent of that guy. Believe us when we say that he can go on talking about games and smartphones for hours on end. We do manage to find some insight in his insane ramblings though, and through his moronic facade, he does seem to know more than he lets on. Sadly enough, it always ends up being about gaming with him. Or stupid, stupid puns.
