According to the latest reviews, the looks of Lumia 1020 are quite similar to the Lumia 920. The Smartphone is set in polycarbonate case. There is no metallic rim. This may a bit disappointing for the Lumia users. However, the overall look is sturdy enough and the lack of metal will not matter much. The dimension is 130x71x10.4 mm and it weighs around 158g. They may seem to be a bit heavier, but actually this is lighter considering the normal weight of super camera phones like Nokia Pureview and Galaxy S4 Zoom. 

How does it perform?

One more thing which you must know, there is no external memory slot in Lumia 1020. That means you’ve to be contended with only 32GB memory. If your usage is controlled, then it won’t be a problem. If you expect your phone to store more than just “sufficient”, then the new Lumia may disappoint you a bit. However, technical experts are claiming that super swift performance of the Smartphone will compensate for the missing storage space. 

How worthy is the camera? 


With the great capacity of 41 megapixels, you can expect the picture and video quality to be superb. There are the 1/1.2in BSI sensor, optical image stabilization, great Xenon flash and 6-lens Zeiss wide-angle optics working to make the camera a treat for the users. The advanced image stabilization technique is also unique enough. All these factors are sure to impress every photographer. You can easily adjust the ISO, the needed exposure and the light effects. The camera is capable of creating high-quality and beautifully contrasted pictures and videos. Also the camera works great in almost every environment. It can perform even in low light. So, you can understand camera is actually the most exciting feature of the Lumia 1020. 

How about the battery life? 


There is 2,000mAh battery in the device. There is no inbuilt support for wireless charging and this can make the device a bit difficult to manage. You need to charge the battery completely to use the phone moderately for the whole day.
