Nokia goes Lumia again, and this time 1020 in India

Nokia Lumia 1020 with 41-megapixel camera launched in India, available October 11

Nokia has launched its new flagship smartphone, the Nokia Lumia 1020, in India. The Lumia 1020 will be available with retailers across the country starting October 11, and Nokia will only be revealing the cameraphone's price a day before that, on October 10.

The new Lumia 1020 comes in three colour variants: Black, White and Yellow. Two accessories of the Lumia 1020 have also been announced for India, for which Nokia has revealed the prices. The Nokia Camera Grip will be available for Rs. 7,500, while the Wireless Charging Shell will be available for Rs. 3,200.

The Finnish handset maker had unveiled the phone at an event in New York, in July. The Nokia Lumia 1020 comes equipped with a 4.5-inch display which is almost the same size as the one on the Lumia 920 and Lumia 925. 

The Lumia 1020's display boasts of a pixel density of 332 PPI. The Nokia Lumia 1020 is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor with 2GB of RAM and runs Windows Phone 8. 

The USP of the phone is its 41-megapixel PureView camera sensor which offers Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), backside-illuminated image sensor, 6 lens optics along with a Xenon Flash. Nokia has also added some camera software including the Nokia Pro Camera app and Smart Camera Mode. It also offers a 1.2-megapixel front facing camera. The phone comes with 32GB internal storage which is non-expandable. 

Commenting on the launch, P. Balaji, Managing Director, Nokia India said, "The response to the Nokia Lumia range in India has been extremely encouraging."

So far, Nokia's high-end range of Lumia smartphones have not been a major hit in the Indian market, and though the more affordable models have been doing well, the company is still struggling to get back its share in the smartphone segment.

The Lumia 1020 is not the first PureView phone from Nokia. The company had launched the 808 PureView phone last year, that featured a 41-megapixel snapper and created a lot of buzz. Next in the list was Lumia 920 with PureView technology that focused on low-light imaging.

Yep, Nokia Lumia 1020 packs 41-megapixel whopper camera (hands-on)


You can sum up Nokia's just-unveiled Lumia 1020 in three words: 41, megapixel, camera.
Teased and leaked to death up to the very last minute before the big reveal, the Lumia 1020's 41-megapixel shooter is what makes Nokia's next marquee Windows phone, and what gives hardware jockeys a reason to salivate.
The Windows Phone 8 device will sell in the U.S. exclusively at AT&T for a hefty $299.99 with two-year contract. Preorders begin July 16, with the Lumia 1020 becoming available online and in stores July 26. (The Lumia 1020 will also sell globally.)
It's all about the camera
Make no mistake about it: the Lumia 1020's stunningly enormous image resolution is this smartphone's single killer feature and sole reason for being. Yep, the 1020 puts the mega back in megapixels.
Here, Nokia pairs an ultralarge camera sensor with the company's PureView image-processing software, finally bringing us the smartphone we hoped the Lumia 920 and its many variants would be.
Camera geeks looking for the nitty-gritty will find six-lens Carl Zeiss optics (as in the recently unveiled Lumia 925), which also takes on wide angles.
It has high-resolution 3x zoom, autofocus (you can manually focus, too), and a dual-flash system. A smaller LED flash complements the larger Xenon flash -- a design we saw in Verizon's Lumia 928 -- and the entire shooter captures 1080p HD video at a rate of 30 frames per second.
