Nokia 1020 Review
Nokia 1020 Review: The Best Smartphone Camera in a Pretty Great Phone
The Nokia 1020 represents something fairly remarkable: the nearly flawless melding of a smartphone and a camera. The assumption up until now was that while such a mash-up wasn't strictly impossible, it would surely require a laundry list of unpleasant compromises. Instead, what we've got is an entirely new kind of gadget. One that, most remarkably of all, works as advertised.
Basically, the guts of other top Nokia Lumia phones (925, 928) paired with an absurd-sounding 41-megapixel PureView camera, and slightly more RAM. It costs $300 with a two-year contract on AT&T.
Why Does It Matter?
For years, we've been hearing about how no one would ever need a point-and-shoot ever again because smartphone cameras were rapidly displacing them as our memory keepers of choice. Your smartphone offers two advantages over point-and-shoots: They're always on you, and they're connected to the internet. And starting around this time last year, the cameras in many flagship phones started getting so good that you could start to convincingly argue that we'd reached this moment at long last. Almost.
With the Lumia 1020, that day might've finally arrived.

Nokia Lumia 928 Review: Flawed Beauty, Best Camera
The nicest thing you can say about any gadget is that it changed the way you use that type of gear for the better. The 928 did that for me with smartphone cameras. It will for you, too, probably. It's just a shame that the phone it calls home doesn't live up to the design standards we're used to—especially from Nokia.
What Is It
A smaller, lighter version of the Lumia 920, with the great same camera, only upgraded with a Xenon flash for still photos.
Design
The 928 is made of the by-now familiar polycarbonate that Nokia uses for most of its handsets. It's boxier than previous Lumias, with a hard line around the back edge, whereas the previous Finnish flagships have typically rounded. On the white model it has the nice effect of making the Lumia like something out of 2001: A Space Odyssey. The contrast of the all-black face on the white body is also especially striking.
Nokia Lumia 925 review
Nokia Lumia 925: Review
review Nokia’s new top dog features similar specifications to its high-rating Lumia 920, but comes in a thinner and lighter aluminium casing. Does the model do enough to exceed Windows Phone 8′s limitations and become a contender in its own right? Read on to find out.
DesignWhen we reviewed Nokia’s Lumia 920 model in March this year, we wrote that the model was one of the best Windows Phone smartphones around, but that it felt a little heavy and bulky compared with the competition — particularly HTC’s excellent Windows Phone 8X model. And although they were eye-catching, we weren’t particularly enamoured of the bright yellow and red casing of the 920. The polycarbonate casing felt nice in the hand, and other colours were available, but somehow the 920 didn’t quite feel like the premium device it clearly was.
