Nokia Lumia 1020: Hands on and first impression

Today we finally got our grips on the Lumia 1020, Nokia’s soon to be released Windows Phone sporting a 41MP camera with BSI sensor and optical image stabilization.
After the break we have a few initial photos of the device and a quick video of it in action.
What’s our verdict (so far)? It’s thinner and lighter than you would expect. We also really dig the matte yellow color, which is akin to the Lumia 720. Sure you can feel that hump a bit but ain’t it worth it to take such gorgeous photos? We think so.
The phone also packs a few other tidbits that we weren’t aware of, but more on that a bit later.
