Nokia Lumia 1020 Review!

Here is the well-structured article based on the provided content:

The Nokia Lumia 1020 is a flagship Windows Phone device that, despite some limitations, offers an unparalleled camera experience. To be honest, I was not impressed with the lack of Google apps on this device. The only special app is the Google search app, which is nothing spectacular. If you're a Google fan, you'll have to get used to using mobile sites for Gmail and Google Calendar.

However, the Lumia 1020's camera is truly exceptional. It can be summed up as having the best camera you'll find on any phone period. Its almost absurd 41-megapixel sensor with so many pixels to work with allows for stunning zoom capabilities without compromising quality. The camera also offers pleasant depth of field, which isolates your subject beautifully - a feature much harder to achieve with other phones.

Image quality is very good, with decent dynamic range and an abundance of detail when snapping a shot. The phone saves two files: one full-resolution photo and one five-megapixel picture that's been oversampled. This makes it easier to share the full-resolution shots, which can be up to 12 megabytes in size - too big for many online platforms.

To make raw pictures less soft, the over-sampled versions sharpen them nicely. However, this also adds a bit of noise in some shots. Thankfully, Nokia has a pro camera app that's great if you want quick shots with full auto mode. The app nails exposure and focus with a simple flick.

With manual control over exposure, shutter speed, ISO, focus, and white balance, the camera offers immense flexibility - especially useful when shooting in low light conditions. However, the dual-core CPU inside takes a couple of seconds to process each shot. Thankfully, there's no lag elsewhere in taking pictures.

Video capabilities on the Lumia 1020 are also impressive, with image stabilization, quiet focusing, and an advanced smart autofocus algorithm. The phone can produce very nice-looking files, thanks to its numerous megapixels. Digital zoom and video quality don't suffer much from the high pixel count.
