Nokia Lumia 1020: Photo samples

last updated

While the Nokia Lumia 1020 for AT&T is a stellar Windows Phone for checking your emails, posting to Twitter or listening to music, that’s not why you want to buy one, right? Nope, it’s for those 41MP images (and oversampled smaller ones).

As a preview to our review, here are some sample photos that we took today. The images posted here are the smaller 5MP photos with Nokia’s oversampling i.e. these are the ones you would share. They’re also resized to fit your computer display.

Fear not pixel peepers as we have the originals, in their full HD glory, right here for downloading (via SkyDrive). Warning though, it’s an 85 MB ZIP file.

All photos were taken using Auto for settings, except for the purple toy, where we used manual focus (it was getting dark).

Things to draw your attention to:

  1. Outstanding color
  2. Nice contrast
  3. Images looks sharp and clean
  4. Details
