For the year that has passed since the announcement of Lumia 920, the Finns managed to present a lot of flagship smartphones - Lumia 925, Lumia 1020, Lumia 1520. We have not published the last review of the latter so long ago, but with the first two have not managed to meet. Fix this flaw. And although the title mentioned only the 1020th, in fact, this review is dedicated to both devices. They have a lot in common, but there are many differences. However, about everything in order.

Nokia Lumia 1020.

⇡ Design

In the width and height of Lumia 925 and Lumia 1020, they differ not strongly - which is not surprising, because their displays are completely the same, with a diagonal of 4.5 inches. Frames on the sides of the screens in both cases is indecent widely broad at current times - in the case of Lumia 1020, they are slightly wider, but not so much so that it is in the eyes.

Case thickness - another matter. As far as we understand, the Finns did not really try to make the building of the 1020th thin: anyway, these efforts would be vain due to a large chamber module, inevitably increasing the thickness almost to one and a half centimeters. So in the other parts, the hull turned out to be replete - more than 10 mm. Lumia 925 is also far from records, but in comparison with the older sister looks very slim.

Left Nokia Lumia 925, right - Lumia 1020

Designers saved both devices from the built-in wireless chargingThanks to which it was possible to achieve an acceptable mass: 139 grams for Lumia 925 and 159 - for Lumia 1020. Compared with the frightening mass of the previous flagship, Nokia - Recall, Lumia 920 Weigh 185 grams with the same diagonal of the display - this is quite acceptable numbers.

The body of the 1020th is completely made of plastic. Lumia 925 is more interesting: plastic here only on the "back", and the construction is based on a powerful aluminum frame. True, it looks somewhat less harmonious - multicolored housing fragments are too dying and stubbornly do not want to develop in a solid image.

⇡ Iron and Communication

The platform has not changed in the flagship Nokia smartphones since the release of Lumia 820 and 920. And the Finns here, as far as we understand, have nothing to do with it: just the best that Microsoft has been provided for the devices on Windows Phone 8 before the appearance of Lumia 1520 is the dual-core processors of the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 family.

So in Lumia 1020 and Lumia 925, the same chip is installed as in the 920th, - Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960. The two kernels of the original Krait architecture work in this processor at 1.5 GHz. According to current quad-core times - the god of the news is what phenomenal reserves of power. However, for completely optimized precisely under such an iron operating system is more or less enough.

Built in MSM8960 Graphic adapter also represents hello from the past - this is Adreno 225, quite good graphics for 2012, in which it appeared. But for the end of 2013, it is already weak, of course. On the other hand, for the platform, in the application store in the top of the free games with a huge margin, something called "Plot Find Cat", and the resolution of the display (so far) does not exceed 1280x768, the capabilities of Adreno 225 again are more or less enough.

The only major change regarding the "computer" part of the new Lumia smartphone is to increase the amount of memory: the RAM is set 2 GB, and not 1, as in Lumia 920/925/928 - LPDDR2 is still used, since this is the best, What the processor can work with. Built-in flash memory in Lumia 1020 32 GB, while Lumia 925 owners have to be satisfied with the 16 GB of the drive. In reality, the user is available to 12 GB in Lumia 925 and for some reason only 24 GB in the 1020th - in the case of a new flagship, the firmware takes twice as much space.

There is no MicroSD connector in any other model - it is possible to extend the volume only at the expense of network storage systems. By default, the buyer is invited to use Microsoft Skydrive - 7 GB of cloud disk space are free.

In radio frequencies, apparently, there are also no fundamental changes. The processor the same, it became, and the built-in modem of Qualcomm MDM9x15 remained the same. We do not know which transceiver and signal amplifiers used are used, but something suggests us that the entire set has moved from Lumia 920 in the 925th and 1020 without any changes.

In any case, the support of the ranges is not expanded. You can still count on the full Quartet GSM / GPRS / EDGE. But the 3G is still not supported by UMTS 1700 MHz, also known as AWS. So if you go with any of Lumia smartphones in the USA - do not buy the SIM card of the local T-Mobile, to this network the device will be able to connect far from everywhere. In 4G, all the same ranges are supported: 1, 3, 7 (our relatives of 2600 MHz), 8 and 20. For Europe and Asia, in general, Russia in particular this set is enough with their heads, but in the same states with "Lumia" To catch in general there is nothing - for LTE will have to run to the Canadian border.

Nokia Lumia 925: MICRO-SIM connector

As for speeds, the "maximum speed" is 42 Mbps in 3G and 100 Mbps in 4G. Theoretically, there are already faster network options (and they are supported in newer modem and systems-on-chip of the same Qualcomm). Almost the cardinal difference in real connection you are unlikely to notice - in any case, the speed is rather represented not to technological limitations, but in the network capacity and signal quality.

The Wi-Fi adapter is also built into the processor, so that there are no surprises here - 802.11a / b / g / n is supported, both in the range of 2.4 GHz and in the less loaded 5 GHz. The Bluetooth module is also integrated into the central chip, theoretically, it knows how to work with BT 4.0, but in the official characteristics of Nokia smartphones in the old manner indicates 3.0. Why is that? Everything is simple: Bluetooth 4.0 is not supported. operating system Windows Phone 8 (if we understand correctly, GDR3 in this sense does not change anything too).

Oddly enough, the tray for Micro-SIM in Lumia 1020 is significantly different from what is installed in the 925th

Another embedded directly into the processor module is a combined GPS / GLONASS adapter. A pretty chip chip in this case also includes a bonus from Nokia: a set of navigation applications Here Maps, the main pleasant feature of which is the possibility of convenient injection of offline cards.

Communication capabilities of Lumia 925 and 1020 communications capabilities should be mentioned by the presence of NFC. Unlike the "apples," the guys from Espoo and Seattle did not ignore this standard, for which they thank you very much - not the archiving thing, but from time to time can be useful.

A Nokia Lumia 1020 smartphone was entered into the editor, a distinctive feature of which is a 41 megapixel camera with Zeiss optics and with PureView technology. Such a camera will be useful to people for whom the picture quality is important, but it is not possible to carry a heavy and bulky mirror with it possible. In addition to the camera, you will get quite modern and powerful smartphone On Windows Phone 8. All details you will learn in our review.

Nokia Lumia 1020 | Packaging and equipment

The phone is for sale in a typical nokia box of blue. IN complete is coming phone itself, USB cable To connect the smartphone to the computer, charger, plug-in headphones, a set of nozzles to them and a brief instruction.

Nokia Lumia 1020 | Appearance

The phone is available in three colors: black, white and yellow. A model in yellow fell to us on the review. Due to the monolithic polycarbonate case, Nokia Lumia 1020 looks solid. The phone is convenient lies in the hand, you can safely reach any point of the screen, without throwing the phone in your hand. Due to the fact that the surface of the hull matte, fingerprints are not noticeable. Rounded corners help the body look a little thinner than it really is.

The front camera is located on the front of the face, 4.5-inch display and three touch control buttons: back, home and search. When touching the touch buttons, the phone vibrates.

The camera is located at the back of 41 megapixel matrix, the size of a sensor 1 / 1.5 ", the CARL Zeiss lens (6 lenses), optical stabilization and two flares: xenon and LED. The frame resolution is 7.712 x 5.360 pixels.

On the right side there is a lumberjack, lock button and camera button. Buttons are very well pressed, a physical return is felt, thanks to which you can understand, it was pressed or not.

On the top face there is a tray for a SIM card, for the opening of which requires a special clip, and a 3.5-mm headphone jack.

The bottom is the hole for mounting the strap, connector for connecting to a computer and speaker.

Nokia Lumia 1020 | Screen

The phone has an amoled matrix with a resolution of 768 x 1.280 pixels. Thanks to ClearBlack technology, black looks really black at different viewing angles and bright sunlight. The screen itself is covered protective glass Gorilla Glass Third Generation. The sensor perceives pressing even in gloves, which is very good, especially if you consider our winter frosts. Unfortunately, the screen has one small disadvantage - the white color when the phone is tilted acquires a bluish-green shade.

When locking on the screen displays the current time. Since an amoled matrix is \u200b\u200bused, the voltage is fed only on the glowing pixels, and the charge is practically not spent.

Nokia Lumia 1020 | Software

Thanks to the pre-installed office package There will no longer have the problem that an excel table came to the mail, and nothing to open it. Microsoft Office. Allows not only to view it, but also make changes.

Nokia has set several applications:

1) Nokia Care. - Instructions and tips on how to use the phone.

2) Nokia Music - an application for free listening to ready-made mixes and drawing up your own.

3) Nokia CinemaGraph To create a photo with a variety of effects. Nokia Pro Cam for full control over the photo settings: ISO, exposure, white balance and much more. Nokia Smart Cam - absolutely no settings, the application makes several pictures and chooses the best.

4) Here Drive +. and Here Maps.. The first is the navigation application for car owners. Minimum information and a simple interface that will be convenient to enjoy driving.

Second - cartographic service. An interesting feature this application It is a large base of organizations with the ability to see them in the form of augmented reality. Unfortunately, the accuracy of the position of the stores is not at the highest level, and sometimes there are inaccuracies.

Each application has the option of offline work.

Nokia Lumia 1020 | Camera

The phone has a rear chamber with a resolution of 41 megapixels and frontal 1.2 Mp. Thanks higher resolution The photo camera photo can be brought around without any loss of quality to physical compliance of pixels 1: 1 (the so-called zoom without loss). The opposite side of this is the high weight of the pictures - about 11 MB. In the settings, you can select a photo resolution - 41 megapixel, compression up to 5 megapixels, 41 and 5 meters together. Why exactly 5 mp? Nokia believes that this is the most optimal file size - permission enough to print, and the file takes a little space and is easily transmitted over wireless networks.

Text in the photo with a rear camera reads well. With front text, too, to distinguish.

The video phone takes off in a resolution of 1080p.

You can download the Uncompressed Videos on Box.com (39.0 MB).

Nokia Lumia 1020 | Performance

JavaScript performance

Sunspider is a JavaScript test, which demonstrates both the JavaScript engine performance of the tablet and the computing power (to a lesser extent) of the hardware. The bad implementation of JavaScript on a very fast tablet can "lubricate" the platform performance. At the same time, the excellent implementation of JavaScript will effectively use even slow systems. However, today the basic implementation of JavaScript engines are becoming closer to each other, the developers borrow everything best ideas. JavaScript tests are single-threaded due to the nature of browsers. Sunspider correctly estimates the CPU sensitive tasks encountered in real Web applications.

The smaller the result, the better. Nokia Lumia 1020 showed an excellent result in this test - 910 ms, ahead of more than 50% of Android competitors. So, the web surfing on the phone will be fast and convenient.

Antutu.

The phone scored 11.136 points, which is a good result.

Relative Benchmark.

This test is created "on the grown", really high results no available devices on android database Show can not. The level of graphics is much higher than the average gaming, so even if the results are not impressive here, in real games, the indicators can be quite good. 60 FPS in this test is already Xbox 360.

The smartphone scored a very high score in this test, which was much ahead of the compared phones and many tablets, visiting our test laboratory.

Nokia Lumia 1020 | Time autonomous work

We tested a smartphone at battery life in different use scenarios. We measured at maximum brightness and the maximum volume level. Wi-Fi was turned on.

The battery life of the Nokia Lumia 1020 can be called good. You will receive 9 hours in read mode, 6.5 hours of watching movie. Under normal operating conditions, the smartphone will laugh a couple of days.

Nokia Lumia 1020 | Conclusion

The Nokia Lumia 1020 smartphone has a powerful stuffing and easily cope with any tasks. But, unfortunately, on Windows Phone, there are very few games that will be able to use all the power. this device. Photos from the rear chamber resolution of 41 MP are really very high quality. If you want to always have a good camera at hand, and wearing a mirror chamber hard and uncomfortable, then you should look at Nokia Lumia 1020.

Benefits of Nokia Lumia 1020

• Camera 41 MP
• Modern design and high build quality
• Pressing perceived in gloves

Disadvantages of Nokia Lumia 1020

• Slipping case and bad weight balance
• Long time autofocus and save photos
• Small applications

Content:

Nokia has spent many years to develop and create smartphones that will offer to their owner very rich opportunities associated with photo-quality. Moreover, it equally applies to the photo, and to the video. Constantly and regularly mobile cinema removes not such a large number of users, but the fans of high standards will be satisfied with the possibilities of Finnish devices, the history of which has for many years, starting with, which asked the bar for several years to this day, remains very high-quality cameras. Then the Nokia 808 appeared, which became the swan songs of independent Nokia and the Symbian platform. After that, the paths for choice were no longer there and the creation of a top smartphone with rich photo inquiry on windows database Phone has become a logical continuation of the development of the Finnish brand.

If you look at the characteristics, one of the recent novelties is remembered. Models are largely similar, the hardware is almost identical. In the smartphone, the dual-core processor, 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of the built-in, 41-megapixel sensor and the bothering battery with a capacity of 2,000 mAh. The diagonal of the amoled screen is 4.5 inches, it has 768x1280 dots permission.

• power Supply

Design

The underlying points of WindowsPhone like the location and number of buttons Nokia practically do not change. The design of smartphones recently also has not undergone some global changes. In fact, all the same development of ideas that were laid in, subsequently transformed in.

Corps without removable parts, unless not pay attention to the tray for Microsim, which is located on the upper end. The assembly is excellent, plastic is used, the material is pleasant. No gloss, there are no scuffs on it, the polycarbonate is pleasantly felt in his hand. Smartphone is available in three possible colors: white, black or yellow. I had a white sample, which in a few weeks of staying in the jeans pocket received well-visible blue traces in the corners of the body. If desired, traces are deleted, but this is a common phenomenon.

If you look at the phone on the side, then it can be seen that the housing is up and downstairs, it turns out with the original profile. The side parts are curved, these outlines have a positive effect on ergonomics.

The location of the keys is well acquainted. On the right, the volume adjustment button, the screen lock and the camera startup. Below are three touch keys with backlight.

On the top end, in addition to the microphone there are 3.5 mm output under the headphones and a slot for the SIM card.

On the lower end is the mount for the strap, the microUSB port and the dynamics hole.

The front surface is almost completely closed with GorillaGlass 3 glass, at the top there is a speaker, front camera and basic set From sensors.

Rear immediately draws the camera module, which is located on a large round insert, occupying about ⅓ free square. The part is made of black matte plastic, at the same time with the lens there are LEDs for the backlight and xenon flash. Also, you can see a couple of contacts that work in combination with a special lining designed for wireless charging.

Screen

The size of the screen is the same as that, he has a diagonal of 4.5 inches and a resolution of 768x1280 points. Instead of an IPS matrix, AMOLED is used. The display is distinguished by a very good behavior in the sun, he has a large stock in brightness, there is a sensor for automatic adjustment This parameter. In addition, the settings are adjusted by the color gamut, which allows you to play with the parameters to everyone. However, the basic parameters are quite optimal and can not be changed. The screen with Pentile, therefore, characteristic of the displays of this type of grainy fonts are present in full. But someone sees them, someone is not, it is very individual.

As usual, the displays of this type give excellent black color, the viewing angles are also impressive, the picture is not distorted at all. Due to the Special Layer of the ClearBlack, the display behaves perfectly in the sun, the image in these conditions does not fade. Gorillaglass glass is used to protect the screen from scratches, and the touch layer has high sensitivity, it allows you to control the smartphone in gloves.

Filling

For most parameters, Lumia 1020 is comparable to the previous Nokia flagships, which include 920 and 925 models. Here is the same Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor with a frequency of 1.5 GHz and two nuclei, the graphics of Adreno 225. But the amount of RAM is 2 GB, this is a record for WindowsPhone, before that no more than 1 GB was proposed. Built-in memory of 32 GB, given the size of the photo that this smartphone makes, it's not so much. And if you want to shoot a video, then the memory will end very quickly. It is strange that such a device does not provide a volume of 64 GB or a microSD card slot.

Opportunities for data transmission are as follows. As before, the Nokia 1020 works with 2G / 3G / 4G networks, it has Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC is supported.

Interface

On the lock screen can be any image, user installed. Here you can see information about time and date. At the bottom of the event string, the icons of new messages or calls will be displayed, if such remained unregulated user. There was an opportunity to output additional data, such as notifications from customers of social networks or weather. In standby mode, the clock may be displayed on the screen, but no other notifications appear.

On the desktop, the tile icons are disputable at their own request. Their size is configured, now you can choose from three different formats, up to 4 labels are immediately added, and not 2, as it was before. For the menu design, two options are offered: black or white, as well as a rich palette from multicolored topics that allow you to quickly change appearance Smartphone.

Contacts

The phonebook is divided into three sections. The first shows all the names that are in the device's memory. The second brings those used most often, these are the most popular contacts. The last graph will combine together the news from social networks. For example, Twitter or Facebook.

The new user gets the name, surname, patronymic, place of work, alias, appeal, image. He is assigned several phone numbers different types: Mobile, Home, Worker, Organization, Pager, Fax. Three types of email are set. Contacts are given additional fields. This address, site, birthday, note, anniversary, close man, children, office location, position. As a ringtone, you can install not only one of the files in the phone's memory, but also any other.

Calls

The telephone part is divided into four groups. It is the call log itself, the number of numbers, phone book and search. Memorize the section that was used in last time, the device does not know how. Latin characters are displayed on the virtual keyboard, but they will not help when dialing the numbers. The functions of the automatic selection of suitable numbers are not here. The list of calls is organized very simple. Here is a long string rooms are coming All call history. No matter, there were the same numbers here or not. Combine the same type calls the phone does not know how.

Messages

Correspondence is formed in the form of two sections. The first consists of a correspondence in the form of SMS and MMS. The other is from Facebook contacts. Thus, you can correspond with users of the virtual community. Messages are displayed by a column. A portrait or landscape mode is invited to choose from, in both cases, about half of the screen is given under the keyboard. A separate key is available for changing the input language. Another special button stores many emoticons in memory. Copy and insert text are supported. The keyboard is convenient, use it comfortable, not enough typos. In the cold, it helps the function of supporting text input in gloves, it is very rare.

Email

The device offers a setup wizard mailboxwhich works with popular mail services, so Gmail, Yandex or Mail.Ru users will not have any problems. Each account is assigned a name, the check box check interval is configured: push-mode, every 15, 30 or 60 minutes. The type of attachments is shown, the device allows you to download and view the files of "office" types.

The calendar

The device offers to select several ways to display information. This is a day painted by the day, a list of planned events or a task-out in a separate graph. When creating a new event, several fields are filled. They can be: theme, place, selected calendar, time, duration. Event participants who will receive notifications about it e-mail. Also K. new recording A notes are created.

Browser

The speed of downloading resources is high, pleases and the operation of the application itself. It is fast, scrolling even volume sites occurs without delay. Unfortunately, the browser does not know how to adapt the scaled font under the border of the screen. The address string is downstairs, right under the fingers, which is very convenient. The application works in landscape or portrait mode, finds the search for the desired words on the page.

Music

The phone supports formats.M4A, M4B, .mp3, .wma. The section with music and video is combined into a common group. Also here include podcasts, the FM radio stands out here.

The repeat mode is activated for all songs or only one. There is a mixed play mode. Also, the composition you like can be noted separately. If you press the Sound Adjustment button, a small menu will open, where the information about the track and the buttons for moving between the songs will appear. It is available and with a locked screen, which is convenient.

The equalizer is put in a separate section, so it's inconvenient to change the parameters, right from the player there will fail. No questions no questions, with high quality headphones Smartphone will delight with sound.

Nokia music

This kind of duplicate of the built-in player, however, besides the usual functions of playing music, there is another option. This is the use of playlists, which are created based on the Nokia music store. It can not only purchase licensed content, it also creates lists by genres, you can listen to songs, but it will take good Internet connection. This music is subsequently stored for listening offline mode. Therefore, optimally use Wi-Fi. To the advantages of such an application, you can attribute the opportunity to expand your horizons, I liked the selection of composition. In addition, everything is very beautifully decorated, nice to see.

Video

The advantages of the updated software should include advanced support for codecs, so that many films smartphone will show after easy copying of data into its memory. The interface is all the same simple and ascetic. Here the list of files is displayed in the phone's memory, when you select the desired it opens to the full screen, although the black stripes are not excluded at the bottom. The screen displays the duration of the roller, the time from the beginning of its playback. There are three player control keys, as well as a scroll string that helps quickly move along the film.

Camera

This is the most interesting moment in the description of the smartphone, because the modules of this level at the analogs in the market simply do not. Nokia 1020 offers 41 MP sensor with f / 2.2 and matrix 1 / 1.5 ''. CARLZEISS lens, optical stabilization, xenon flash, autofocus and, of course, PureView technology like in.

The front camera allows you to take pictures of 1.3 mp quality or shoot a video in HD-resolution, while the main module writes excellent rollers in Full HD.

In order for the user to feel in practice all the capabilities of the sensor, the NokiaProcamera application is offered, which is responsible for the photography by default. In it, the smartphone can take pictures as in 5 MP permit, which allows you to quickly share them in social networksAnd create a bunch of 5 MP + 38 megapixel (2592x1936 + 7136x5360 pixels), which allows you to immediately save two options in the device. The remaining applications for shooting are removed only in the minimum quality, it is worth considering the future. Smartphone due to a large sensor allows you to bring objects to the photo without significant loss in quality. This mode works only in 5 MP permit. By the way, a similar function works and when shooting a video: In Full HD, we get a 4-fold zoom. Again, due to optical stabilization and xenon outbreak, the smartphone behaves very well in conditions of insufficient illumination: in the evening, indoors or at night.

Despite the fact that the smartphone received an impressive 2 GB of RAM, the shooting is carried out quite slowly, the pictures are saved for about 5 seconds. Against the background of top solutions from competitors, it is unreasonable long.

As for the quality of shooting, the Nokia 1020 has not made the expected impression. Yes, pictures are obtained clear and sharp, with a correct color scheme. But there are also white balance errors, periodically frames are excessively sharp, as if after digital photographic treatment. Maybe these are the problems of a test sample, although in most situations the smartphone has shown itself well. But the low speed of preservation of images in the maximum quality frankly irritated. All the same problems with shooting macro are observed when the device does not focus on nearby objects, a distance from 10 cm and above is required. Also lack clarity around the edges, they look shortened. For a device with such a focus, such flaws look very strange, it's hard to forgive.

It should be noted that the smartphone offers an extensive software package that will reduce the potential of the chamber. In addition to the NokiaProcamera application, there is NokiaSmartCam, which allows you to edit pictures (delete excess objects Or choose the best frame), VideoupLoad - Fill rollers on YouTube, VideoTrimmer - Mounting video on the smartphone. Plus, among other things, there are well-known features like panoramic shooting, animation photos. Settings: White balance: Focusing. Light: Auto, 100-4000. Exposure: Auto, 1/16000 - 4 seconds. Exposition. Bracketing. Focus backlight. Crop. Aspect ratio. Meeting mode. Video resolution. Sound when shooting video. Gallery Snapshots from the camera and other images fall into the general section. Pictures are sorted by albums, dates and people. Here are pictures from Facebook, if adding your smartphone account. Any image can be installed as the lock screen wallpaper, send MMS, email, place on Facebook or Twitter or download to SkyDrive. Also, the image is added to the number of favorites, opens using a program for editing. The picture can be transmitted using applications, for example, upload to Twitter via an additional client. The function of simultaneous selection of several pictures appeared, now it has become much more convenient to transmit files. Applications Clock Several alarms are stored in memory. Each of them will set the signal time, repeat mode by day of the week. The choice is offered melodies from the device's memory. In addition, you can assign an alarm name. The smartphone is able to monitor traffic consumption. You can store various data plastic cards Under the password. Office The section includes applications that work with Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. The device allows not only to view the data on the screen, but create new files of these types or edit existing ones. Score Each application is equipped with screenshots and pictures icon. The price is indicated, while it is given in the currency of the state, the information about which is indicated in the account. The rating of the program, reviews, its size is displayed. If you wish, you can download the demo version and try it. It is inconvenient that in the smartphone there is no separate list of purchased software, such an opportunity is missing. Navigation Buyers smartphone Nokia. Get excellent navigation Here Maps and Here Drive. Cards with excellent details, street names in Russian. And it is worth noting that there is a numbering of houses. Several locality display modes are supported: Map Scheme, Satellite and Scheme with public transport. It is convenient to put movement routes, cards are available in offline mode. The path from one point to the other is calculated on both the car and on public transport or on foot. At the same time, key points are indicated, you can evaluate the entire upcoming road in advance.

Permissible download required maps terrain, as well as a package with voice prompts. If you wish, you can take a smartphone with you to any country of the world and use it even in offline mode, which is very convenient. Battery The battery in the smartphone is unmensed, the battery capacity is 2000 mAh. Lumia 1020 decided to abandon wireless charging to reduce the weight of the device. But additionally you can buy a special lining that will help to charge the smartphone in a pair with such an accessory. On the one hand, the user wins, the difference in weight compared to the same Lumia 920 is very sensible. But it is not very pleasant to live with such a cover, the weight increases, but the case plays the role of additional protection. On average, one light day of life is obtained, maybe a day of work - it all depends on the user's activity and its rhythm of life. But at some special "vitality" compared to Android-smartphones do not count. As an additional accessory to the smartphone, you can buy a special battery handle that reminds about similar objects, but created for cameras. Such a handle is equipped with a built-in battery of 1020 mAh, the capacity is not very large, considering the weight and size of this additional device. Conclusion In the smartphone, a loud calling speaker, a good vibration signal, it is nice to talk, everything is fine here. The price of Nokailumia 1020 is 27,000 rubles. You can not tell you that for the same money there is a mass of models from competitors. In his face, Nokia 1020 may offer excellent camera for this money, but the user must be ready for what will have to go to manual settings to reveal the potential of the device. If you draw an analogy with the world of cameras, then before us is a mirror chamber. That is, it can shoot in automatic mode, but in practice it turns out to be a low-onedy phenomenon, since everything is calculated that the user knows what he wants from the device and which parameters he needs to choose. Therefore, it is not worth surprising that by selecting the default settings, Lumia 1020 in some modes can not be removed better than its competitors or. I would not advise this model as a universal solution when everything that only can be combined in one case. Is the WindowsPhone Platform for many years considered a new hope? And there is a faith in what a miracle will happen and these devices will show themselves in practice. However, this does not happen. This is also seen buyers and people in Microsoft and Nokia. When the Nokia 808 Pureview was released on sale, then the view was that appearing at the same time analogue with the "squares" inside, everything would change for the better. What to know, but, apparently, it would be a fundamentally affected by the situation. Now the time of universal devices, when people do not want to delve into details and learn, and wish to get comfortable automated processes. And this is the problem of Nokia: the filling has great opportunities, however, in practice, too a small number of buyers will be ready to put up with this company approach. The same thing was with the model 808, which accounted for lovers of non-standard solutions. © Alexander Pommense, Test laboratory Publication date of Articles - December 25, 2013

Video review

About appearance

In terms of design, Lumia 1020 did not become a revelation - this is another derivative of N9, but with a large camera module from behind. Meanwhile, the device looks still pretty, although the second time. To distinguish it from many other Lumia from all angles, in addition to the rear, problematic. Matte plastic in white coloring is brain, but the body is easily rubbed and adequately established itself in terms of wear resistance.

Scratching (on the housing) in the bag and when contacting with other smartphones were not formed, although they had a closer to the back of the rear side with the table appeared. Metallic pancake scratch me either, but the edge concerning the table, barely noticeably a slammer (in a year she will certainly fit). The apparatus is assembled perfectly, there is no hint of violets and backlays (after Lumia 920, all models of Lumia and Asha in terms of assembly were complaints).

Ergonomics of headband above 808 PureView, but you can still call the device convenient only with stretch. The height of the smartphone is small and the camera module is shifted to the middle, as a result of which, when used in a vertical orientation, the index finger flaps to the block, worsening grip. It would be better if he restrained the bottom, but for this gadget should be with a 6 "screen, for example. In the horizontal orientation, the fingers will also be closed on the block, and discomfort is felt.

Even on the table to use Lumia 1020 is not entirely convenient. If it is vertically, the tapas closer to the side of the facest make the device swing, spinning and knock, and if horizontally, it is inconvenient to look at the screen and under the bottom there is something to put something.

The display is closed by a rounded glass Gorilla Glass 3, in which micro scratches appeared during the use. And this is normal. My panel itself caused bewilderment. And I am not about the diagonal of 4.5 "in the housing, where 5" panel could fit, and not about the resolution of 1280 x 768 points, relevant among the devices of this class in 2012 (for such a diagonal it is suitable, however). And about AMOLED technology with the structure of the Pentile matrix. It is difficult to believe it, but the company chose a display for a phone with an emphasis on a photograph, which in principle cannot display white color, and other colors makes oversaturated and have nothing with reality. In the settings there is a choice of color profile, but it will not fix the sensor and the loose letters will not remove.

In addition, the behavior of the panel under the bright Sun leaves more and some colors of the elements leave wild loops when scrolling (check light background with indigo and black background with white font). From the advantages of the display of this type - deep black color, maximum viewing angles with a small bias in greens and an increase in the work time in comparison with IPS screens with the same parameters (no backlight and less subpixels). Lumia 1020 and Lumia 925 identical screens. But as Lumia 1020 displays (AMOLED, right) and Lumia 920 (IPS, left) look nearby:

Pro Software

Lumia 1020 is based on Windows Phone 8 with Amber Update. The program base is no different from other WP phones, so if you are with this OS, the unconscious, I propose to look at our. WP today is a fairly competitive platform, but its development ecosystem still cannot extinguish with Android and iOS. Key applications gradually come out (the epic with Instagram ended), large publishers almost do not expect attention, but still fresh games are much smaller than that of opponents. However, the situation is now much better than a year ago, and I am sure that the trend will continue. This contributes to the increasing share of WP on the smartphone market: the more the phones are sold with it, the more installers and the higher the desire for developers to create. In general, WP phones produce different companies, but Nokia has the richest set of exclusive programs. I believe that the choice in favor of WP should be necessarily associated with Nokia. And nothing else.

The WP shell is very original, and the logic of the menu is configured (which only costs several partitions about the screen in the settings distributed outside the logic), which can also scare potential users, especially inexperienced. Personally, it is very difficult for me to navigate the Tailah like each other and slow animation annoys me, some insuggestion Ui. However, someone minimalize WP design by moral and some find it easy to learn. I strongly recommend trying to try the Windows Phone with friends, acquaintances or a little longer twist in the store in the store (do not forget to drive away the annoying sellers from ourselves - those still advisers).

Nokia actively makes for his Lumia Photographing. With their help, you can create animated pictures, delete unnecessary moving objects in the frame, replacing the heads of the head (so that everyone is not blink, or everyone has equally funny faces). The freshest photode application is called the "Changing Focus" and it allows you to choose the focus point on the composition shutter by one by pressing the composition of the composition (several frames are made with induced focus objects). Spectacular? Not that word! Useful? By no means. All these programs are good in commercials, they are impressive and surprised. In fact, it turns out that for very many scenarios, much more handy just to make several photos in the most common way. For example, a fresh "focus change". On Lumia 1020, one plan is removed and saved about 15 seconds, while any other interesting events do not work. Does this mode accelerate the selection of a successful plan in comparison with the usual shooting? Of course not. Is there a lot of scripts to use "Focus change" exist? Units, and it will be much more correct and faster with hovering the touch focus, and the color mask (focus on a certain shade) can be made later in graphic editor. Of course, someone probably uses photodetes, but it's still, for the most part, a bonus for a five-minute palaughter, to impress yourself and surprise others (like the IPhone, the owners at first surprised other answers Siri, and not so long ago it turned out that about 85% The owners of IOS-gadgets never started this chip, but advertising how much ...).

About iron

The Lumia 1020 hardware base is almost identical to Lumia 920 and 925 - 1,5-GHz Dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 processor with Adreno graphic accelerator 225. True, the new memory is twice as much as the predecessors - 2 GB. Only 32 GB version is sold in Russia internal memory, For a number of Western operators, 64-GB modifications are available. The microSD expansion slot is not provided, but the allocated volume will be enough for a majority of users for toys, photos, videos, music. Before the release of Lumia 1520, Lumia 1020 had the most powerful stuffing (RAM is still greater than that of others), which means that the owners of the smartphone will not have any problems with the toys for some time. Everything that goes to WP is available on Lumia 1020 not in a trimmed form (in models with 512 MB of RAM, reduced graphics happening more and more often, not to mention the complete incompatibility), but, of course, there will be no such idyl, and MSM8960 with ADRENO 225 Potential has long been exhausted, which is expressed in the dongy of top 3D toys.

To the resolution of 1280 x 768 points when the Android ball rules Full HD, there is no complaints, since the diagonal of 4.5 "is no longer necessary (the eye difference would be problematic, but this would not be better to affect energy consumption and performance ). This is true for the Android segment - I do not believe that Full HD needs to be used with the screens up to 5 "for the same reasons. External speaker Loud, but quieter Lumia 920. The location of the dynamics on the bottom face is favorably affected by the sound - the sound does not overlap. In the headphones Lumia 1020, it sounds extremely nice, but know that music player No speed of work (all this animation and loading) and convenience (rewind is implemented as in automotive radio).

Battery with a capacity of 2000 mAh provides a decent time of work (7 hours and 47 minutes from 1020 and 4 hours 17 minutes from Lumia 920) when watching a video (thanks pentile and amoled), average in toys (discharge in Nova 3 for half an hour amounted to 18% and 23% For Lumia 1020 and 920, respectively) and small when using the camera. For an hour, I went through the street (the ambient temperature was -1c) and removed anything on Lumia 1020, 920 and the model. Smartphone Lumia 1020, making fifty frames (5 and 38 megapixel) and removing five minutes for five minutes, discharged by about 60%. Of course, the phone was active not all the time (the screen burned from the power of 15 minutes), but only during the shooting process, but so fast discharge makes it doubt that the smartphone is suitable as a full replacement of the soap, or a journey. Especially since in the Lumia 1020, a non-removable battery, and to feed the apparatus from the external battery when viewing sightseeing will be not quite convenient. If you do not get the camera Camera Grip with an additional 1020 mAh battery for 2900 rubles, of course. In mixed mode, without a cover, you can count on the day of operation, with a cover - two days.

About the camera

For a detailed description of the camera and its functions, please contact the previous review, and here I will sip personal impressions and make a comparison (references below). So, in Lumia 1020, a large 41-MP sensor is used, capable of shooting in 5 MP modes and 5 mp +38 MP (for the aspect ratio of 4: 3). Some believe that the Lumia 1020 camera is marketing and there is no real advantage, others call it a revolution and sacred believe in total superiority over competitors. My opinion is the truth somewhere in the middle.

The resolution of the Lumia 1020 camera causes an overestimated expectation of high detail in all scenarios, but if you dig in specifications, then there will be a mention of the minimum focal length of 15 cm. That is, you will not be able to focus on the bugs, the spout of your cat and any miniatures less than 15 cm! To create a macro, you can use the digital zoom, which is 5-MP CROP, but with a pixel size of 1.12 microns (the sensor is large, but the pixels are small there) to achieve high detail. The zoomy snapshot will give up the photo near other devices (for example, Meizu MX3 allows you to shoot at a distance of a centimeter 3-4 from the object, and Galaxy Note. 3 - about 7 cm), which are removed from the same close view, but in maximum resolution without the use of zoom. That is, the macro will always be more detailed from competitors, simple physics - 5 MP against 8 or 13 megapixel. The camera does not boast of work and speed, the reason for which lies in the old hardware basis ( snapdragon chipset S4 MSM8960 was used last year's Samsung Galaxy S3 HTC One. XL I. Sony Xperia. TX), not capable of pulling tens of millions of pixels in the chamber. So, on focusing, pressing the shutter, capture and saving (5 + 38 MP) takes 6 seconds (or 5 seconds for 5 MP). The shooting of a moving object for you will be a difficult task. But a high resolution Leaves all other smartphones behind when removal of distant plans is required. The overall picture of all modern top phones is more or less good, but if you wish to do a pixel-hunting or remove the fresco on the ancient temple, then the best phone than Lumia 1020, you will not find (808 no matter how there is no, although there is a sensor larger than 1020).

If you are ready to accept a low speed of work and expect to turn a photography with Lumia 1020 in a slight walk with a minimum intervention, then mistaken. The camera has a device to some extent "capricious" and photo, filmed in automatic mode, most likely will be unpleasant to surprise you with unrealistic color reproduction with a refrast and incorrect choice of white balance. However, even when manual setting The camera is inclined to be mistaken, greed and overstat the colors. Want to fully reveal the potential of a large 41-MP sensor? Be prepared to twist the settings, try, mistake and rejoice, approach the case with feeling, with a sense, editing photos on the computer. The smartphone is designed for artistic and thoughtful shooting rather than on the fleeting photographing from type pocket, brought and removed. A high-quality result will not work with this approach, and in most cases it will give out that they give other flagships without any preparation. But I have deep doubts about the fact that professionals will take Lumia 1020 seriously and exchange their top soapboxes, mirrling or mirrors on the camera without a viewfinder with an amoled screen, weak camera mode in camera mode, low speed and overly a serious approach for mobile photography. By the way, the company promised to fix the Lumia 1020 post-processing algorithm to issuing more realistic colors close to 808 PureView, but who knows how to do in the end. Also, the phone will soon learn to shoot in DNG RAW format.

About video camera

With the camcorder, too, everything is far from perfect and it deserves greater criticism. The maximum resolution is 1920 x 1080 points at a recording speed of 30 frames per second, a bit rate (20.2 Mbps), stereo sounder is written with a bit rate of 256 kbps at a frequency of 48 kHz, there is an optical image stabilization and "zoom without loss". Beautiful set on paper, but unfortunately, with not fully disclosed potential in the Lumia 1020 itself.

Having raised on the Lumia 1020, Lumia 920, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S4, Xperia Z1, G2, I came to the conclusion that the Lumia 1020 has a totality of the qualities of not the best video camera from all this flagship set. It turned out that the optical stabilizer on the bearings is implemented out of the hands of Won badly - the picture shakes and does not boast the same smoothness as Lumia 920. Sometimes compression artifacts (squares) appear.

In addition, it turned out that competitors are not inactive and LG, for example, implemented excellent optical stabilization in G2, passing the smartphone to the Full HD recording mode at 60 fps. And Samsung and Sony made a bet on effective electronic stabilization, and especially I would like to note Xperia Z1, whose function Steadyshot removes the way that you are moving on the rails, and before you stands a tripod.

The tracking autofocus is guided by Lumia 1020 correctly, but slowly, macro remove difficult without zoom. White balance is often mistaken and the contrast goes away so that instead of gray tracks and gray sand in the playground reigns a brown something, and through the cloudy autumn reality, poisonous colors make their way and as if displayed through a dirty AMOLED display (although in the club it turns into a plus with deficiency Lights, deep black and bright colored sophods). From the part it may seem that Lumia 1020 has a more "live" picture, but it is far from real. Someone such "juiciness" likes.

By the way, it is fun to observe how PhotoFlagman leaves before contrasting objects, mixing them in porridge - look at the comparison of Lumia 1020 and G2, where the devices focus on the rose. If with the camera, many shortcomings of automation can be attempted to remove with manual adjustment, then the user can only choose the white balance in the camcorder. Competitors are adequately removed without additional sweatshirt, although the result may vary in favor of Lumia 1020 depending on the conditions (especially with complex lighting).

Lumia 1020 microphones showed well at a concert, however, an audio track, in my opinion, is inferior to Lumia 920 (the focus of for some reason on the left canal has been). But in calm conditions, the noise is working too aggressively and dries even the operator, not to mention the rustling of fallen leaves under the feet and singing the birds - of these sounds is simply not heard. But it can be turned off.

The real and indisputable advantage of Lumia 1020 before others is zoom. During shooting on the screen, the approximation seems some kind of twigany, but ultimately everything is more or less smoothly. And with the maximum zoom, optical stabilization helps to reduce shake, the video sequence is almost not stirred if you hold the device with two hands.

Comparison

conclusions

Nokia Lumia 1020 is an interesting, but still a niche product. Professionals are unlikely to take it seriously, and ordinary users will be upset by unpleasant nuances (especially if they won't be in ignorance and will know how competitors remove). The smartphone appears to appear much earlier (in the late spring, and Lumia 925 (Review) had to go out in the first months of 2013), when his chamber could cause sincere and non-warning "wow". In a number of scenarios (when approaching, mainly), the smartphone demonstrates excellent results, but in most cases without careful setting the phone will give pictures and videos that are achievable on other devices. I do not want to say that Lumia 1020 removes badly, just 808 PureView was a breakthrough and no competitor could fight him. Despite all of the foregoing, Nokia Lumia 1020 is good choice For those who live photos and are ready to experiment. And this is the best cameraphone on the WP platform. If the company improves post-processing, improve the stabilizer, then the Lumia 1020 camera will break away far forward. I hope the potential of the 41-MP Nokia module will still reveal to the end.
