White balance, ISO settings and scene modes in Lumia 1020 let you explore other aspects of photography.
Editing Apps:
This photography oriented smartphone has editing apps to inspire the artist within you. Like its panorama app automatically stretches your image to fit a large screen without doing much damage to it. While Apps like creative studio, smart camera and photo beamer work almost like Photoshop. Lumia 1020’s HD video recording mode also has variety of modes that you can apply while shooting.

Lumia 1020 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 processor which is clocked at 1.5 GHz. Its breathtaking 4.5 inch true color WXGA (1280X768) display is equal to those in Samsung Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5. Its 2 GB RAM and ‘Windows Phone 8’ software make sure that the device works at zipping speed. It also gives you wireless charging options via add on cover which is definitely a plus. But Nokia is banking on Lumia 1020’s amazing camera to help it stand out in the smartphone market which is dominated by Androids and iOS.
Undoubtedly, Lumia 1020 gives us endless photography opportunity but Windows Phone 8 takes away the freedom to enjoy endless apps, games and multimedia experience. Although Nokia has not yet revealed the price of Lumia 1020 we are hoping it to be around Rs 40,000-45,000 which would make it one of the costliest mobile phones in India.
