Lumia 1020by Nokia
PROS
- The Nokia Lumia 1020 is capable of capturing high-resolution images from a device that fits in your pocket and doubles as your primary communications tool.
- The camera grip option makes this cell phone much like the point-and-shoot camera you once carried, but it adds bulk.
- The phone's battery life is solid.
CONS
- Without the camera grip option, the phone can be awkward to hold.
- The Lumia 1020 uses Windows Phone 8, which means you're limited to Microsoft's evolving app ecosystem.
- This handset lacks a memory card expansion slot -- a big detriment if you're going to take advantage of the phone's high-resolution camera, which captures images at up to four to five times the resolution of competing phones' cameras.

Let's cut to the chase: the Nokia Lumia 1020 is the smartphone to beat when it comes to photography. Its camera is a serious bit of kit that, given the right conditions, will create exceptional shots.

Now that we've had the opportunity to use the device, we can confidently say that the Lumia 1020 is the best Windows Phone device to date. If you're a WP8 user who enjoys crafting the best possible photographs, you need to make the jump, even if you are paying a premium for the camera.

The 1020 is one of its best devices yet, and certainly the easiest to sell — if you really love cameras, you’ll really love the Lumia 1020. There are plenty of compelling Windows Phone 8 options, from the gorgeous 925 to the feature-packed 1020, but they can’t change the fact that Windows Phone 8 itself just isn’t that compelling.

For those planning to use the camera more than casually, consider getting the camera grip, which makes it feel, well, more like a camera. It adds weight and bulk, but crucially it also adds an extra battery: snapping away will drain the battery surprisingly quickly.

The 1020's larger sensor, image stabilization, incredible lossless cropping, and low light performance make it stand out from the crowd. However, for casual users, there may be more camera -- and bulk and a higher price -- than necessary

While the Lumia 1020 is an easy-to-use smartphone that takes gorgeous images, a relatively slow shot-to-shot time and the generally maverick state of Windows Phone make this fall short of being an obvious choice.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 is not quite the perfect flagship, but for those who care about having a good on-the-road camera to whip out whenever needed it’s a cracking phone.

While this Lumia phone is a premium device, its platform is its major drawback. And though the camera is the best there is on any smartphone in the market, you're probably going to spend more time interfacing with the operating system than shooting photos.

The Lumia 1020 has an amazing camera, the best in a smartphone, and will tempt most smartphone photographers. However, it's expensive for what is essentially a now out-of-date Lumia 920 with a better snapper.

The phone would actually be very thin if it weren't for the the circular camera bulge on the back. It's a striking design element that disrupts the other wise elegant shape, although not necessarily in a bad way.
