Fuck, this guy has some great descriptions. Pimple oreos are delicious.
Edit: Also that phone looks amazing. CDMA version pls.
i love to listen to this guy, he has a nice voice
Starting to regret giving ubuntu 600$ now.
Doesn't 41MP seem kinda redundant? You're better off getting a professional camera if you really want your pics to look good, not a phone camera.

You don't go everywhere with your professional camera. Every time I don't have a camera with me I've been in places with great views and interesting things to take pics from.

most people don't lug a DSLR around with them all the time but actually want their pictures to be nice.

[I]Correct me if I'm wrong[/I] but as far as I know you don't need 41 megapixels for your pictures to be nice, it's about the camera sensor itself.

Then how about doing some research about the camera? The 41 megapixels aren't just for show.
41 megapixels is way overkill. Pro-level DSLRS are usually at 20-something megapixels

I take it you didn't actually watch the review? The 41 megapixels are used for oversampling, though you also get a 38 or 34MP picture along with the 5MP oversampled picture.
And considering the 41MP picture actually has about the same quality as what you'd find on an SGS4, it's great for cropping your photo the way you want it, zoom in on a little detail or whatever - which is a great feature (if you can call it that) considering that optical zoom really has no place in mobile right now.

[quote]There's little point in taking 41-megapixel photos with a smartphone, but Nokia's taking data from up to seven pixels to create each pixel of the final 5-megapixel image.
The result is a more manageable image that's both more accurate and far less noisy than what you'd get from a traditional smartphone or even a point-and-shoot.
That 41-megapixel sensor also allows the Lumia 1020 to use "lossless zoom."
Since the sensor is so pixel-dense, when you zoom before taking a photo the Lumia 1020 will only use a portion of the sensor to take the photo — effectively zooming you in without degrading quality as much as you would with traditional digital zoom.
Like the 808 PureView, you'll get up to 3x zoom with the Lumia 1020.[/quote]

Did you even watch the review or know anything about the sensor. It does a lot of aggressive downsamping down to 5MP. What it gives you though is images with far far more detail and far far less noise than any other phone camera out there, not to mention Nokia generally has the best phone optics out there as well.
The fact you're saying these things is pretty much indicative of you not even taking a look at the review or any other. But just coming in and saying - but 41MP is totally bollocks and not needed.

To add, a good picture is 50% what you take it with and how to take it, and 50% being there at the right time on the right subject
In other words, a picture of something is only going to be as good as the camera you have with you, and you definitely cannot have a DSLR with you the whole time.
You pretty much will always have your phone on you but you won't always have your DSLR on hand. Having it so your phone also acts as a very nice camera in of itself, means you'll always be ready to take a picture of something interesting no matter where you are. Thats very compelling to people who like to take pictures of things, knowing that you have a camera in your pocket thats good enough to be ready for any picture-taking moment without ruining quality.
Not to mention, if you don't have a DSLR, this is very compelling because you basically get two-for-one. sure a DSLR is ideal, but again - I'd rather have a single device that can take great photos as well versus having them split between two different things I have to carry with me at all times, and would actually be more expensive to own.
I'd like to see part of an image at 100%. It's probably blurry as hell
Mr. Stark does phone reviews.
Neat.
Edit: Those photos looked insane.

I wouldn't call that "blurry as hell". Really, the camera is better than any other phone camera on the market, and having that many megapixels helps it a lot with that task.
Good to see that Nokia is still delivering good phones and made a camera with shit ton of megapixels which actually make your photos look good. Though I still don't like that they only work with Windows Phone. They could beat Samsung if they would make something on Android.
Awesome, I always wanted a camera that I could make calls with :v:

If I'm gonna go take photos i'd much prefer real nice optics than many megapixels.
I wouldn't mind it so much if there wasn't a bulge. Honestly for me, I would prefer the phone to be thicker to compensate for the camera and just have a massive battery in the extra space.
The Black circle holding the camera doesn't look good on either the white or yellow editions of the phone, but damn that is some impressive shots

I don't understand how people can ever tell the difference between 720p at 4.5" and 1080p at 4.5". It looks [I]exactly[/I] the same to me, especially since my "low resolution" phone looks perfectly fine, if not pretty good, and its 480p. When people complain that a phone doesn't have a 1080p screen, it honestly just sounds like to me like they are buying off specs alone instead of what the actual phone does. Not to mention, 1080p hurts battery life. I'd much rather have a longer battery life on a phone than an imperceptibly more dense screen.
And I hate that people who don't really use WP8 always say dual core is a downside, when it's not on WP8. The way WP8 is made, you could put the shittiest CPU in there ever invented and it would still run smooth for the most part, that's kind of the advantage it has over android - you don't need beefy specs to get a beefy OS experience. Saying its a downside with a dual core just shows me the reviewer really doesn't understand just how much specs don't matter at all - the only thing that matters is battery life and how smooth/quick everything runs. Again, I'd much rather have a lower-power using CPU in my phone than a beefy quad-core when the dual core runs the OS perfectly smooth [I]and[/I] with less battery usage.
The only valid performance complain I hear is that the camera can sometimes be slow to take pictures (~4-6 seconds from focus start to all done), and I think this has more to do with the software and sensor than the CPU (it does, after all, save a 38mp image at the same time as a 5mp one - I think a good way to solve this might be making it so it optionally ONLY takes pictures in 38mp but you can batch-oversample them down to 5MP in the picture gallery after you've already taken the pictures).
Wow I'm not a fan of Nokia phones. This phone though is absolutely incredible, I would love to get a phone like this.
