The main selling point of the smartphone is the very impressive camera.
Whether or not buyers will be interested in paying $300 is yet to be seen. But there is no denying the fact that the buzz generated by the big camera is huge. Everyone in the industry is talking about the 41 megapixel camera.
Stephen Elop, Nokia chief of operations, stressed the innovation history of the company when talking about the smartphone and it’s camera:
“This passion for pictures is something that Nokia recognized very, very early on. We filed our first imaging patent in 1994; the first of 450 imaging patents we hold today. The Nokia 1020 will change how you shoot, how you create, and how you share pictures forever”
Nokia does have a history of offering high quality cameras for most of the phones they manufacture. But 41 megapixels? And with HD video recording? That’s a big deal.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 will be available in matte yellow, matte white and matte black.
It is expected that a release in Europe and China will soon be announced.
