The Lumia 1020 is the spiritual successor to Nokia's first phone with a 41-megapixel camera sensor, the Nokia 808 PureView. While the 808 won rave reviews for its camera, the fact that it ran the dated Symbian operating system on underpowered hardware had many wondering - "What if this phone (rather, this camera) ran Windows Phone?" In that respect, the Nokia Lumia 1020 is the realisation of a dream that many have harboured since using the 808. Sadly, many dreams shatter on their first contact with reality. Is the Lumia 1020 one of those dreams or does this story have a happy ending, let's find out.

Nokia took a jump forward in mobile photography technology in 2012 with the release of its 41-megapixel 808 Pureview, giving users the power to take better pictures and video footage than ever before. With the Lumia 1520 phablet, Nokia brings a similar innovative lens technology and optical image stabilization found on the 808, and most recently the Lumia 920 and 1020, together with powerful professional options like manual-control-focus and the ability to capture DNG Raw-files to the large screen.

Nokia had taken the wraps off a host of new devices at its event in Abu Dhabi, including a new phablet, the Lumia 1520. The phablet now makes its debut in India and is notable for the huge display, a clear signal that Nokia is bucking up to the competition, all of which have big-display bearing devices to their names.
