Zoom. Reinvented. Nokia Lumia 1020 arrives
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Espoo, Finland and New York, NY - Today, Nokia established a new benchmark in
smartphone imaging with the arrival of the Nokia Lumia 1020, boasting a second
generation 41 megapixel sensor. Unlike any smartphone in the market today the
Nokia Lumia 1020 reinvents zoom, enabling people to discover more detail than
the eye can see. With Nokia's innovative PureView technology, including optical
image stabilization, the device is able to produce some of the sharpest images
possible by any digital camera.
This is made possible by leading hardware technology combined with a new
application called Nokia Pro Camera, which makes it easy for anyone to take
professional quality images. Either before a picture is taken or after it has
been shot, the zoom capability enables people to discover and then rediscover
the personal stories each image can tell. With a beautiful interface that
visually demonstrates how settings will affect the final photo or video, Nokia
Pro Camera makes it easier than ever to capture, edit and share photos and
videos with unrivaled clarity.
Using a new feature called dual capture, the Nokia Lumia 1020 simultaneously
takes a high resolution 38 megapixel image for endless editing opportunities,
and creates a 5 megapixel picture that is easy to share to social networks with
Windows Phone 8.
The Nokia Lumia 1020's 41 megapixel sensor features leading ZEISS optics with
six physical lenses, plus optical image stabilization, delivering crystal clear
pictures even in low light conditions. It also captures blur free videos with
stereo sound even at the loudest concerts thanks to Nokia Rich Recording, which
handles sound pressure levels six times louder than conventional smartphone
microphones.
"We want to take people on a journey from capturing pictures to recording and
sharing their lives," said Stephen Elop, President and CEO, Nokia. "The Nokia
Lumia 1020 will bring new meaning to pictures and continues to strengthen
Nokia's leadership in imaging."
Nokia also released a new imaging software development kit (SDK) that provides
key image editing features of the Nokia Lumia 1020 to developers. The SDK is
available today at developer.nokia.com with a number of developers including
Vyclone, Yelp and CNN integrating these features into future releases.
Hipstamatic showcased Oggl PRO, an exclusive application for the Nokia Lumia
1020 offering the most advanced smartphone camera controls for their creative
community. It was also announced that popular applications Vine, Path and
Flipboard will soon be available on Windows Phone.
Adding further professional capabilities and additional battery life, Nokia
announced the new Nokia Camera Grip. This is an accessory that complements
device features usually reserved for stand-alone cameras, like the Nokia Lumia
1020's built-in xenon flash and mechanical shutter. The Nokia Camera Grip also
has a tripod mount, and is expected to be available this month for an estimated
retail price of USD 79.
The personal nature of Windows Phone makes it the perfect platform for the Nokia
Lumia 1020, showcasing live images on the Start screen with the Photos tile,
quick sharing to social networks, and easy access to files across a number of
devices with SkyDrive. With the dedicated camera button, Windows Phone is
designed with imaging in mind.
To help people see what's around them and discover new places to take photos,
the latest developments in LiveSight will available in HERE Maps soon. The Nokia
Lumia 1020 also comes with ad and subscription free Nokia Music streaming.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 will arrive first on U.S. shores exclusively with AT&T,
with sales expected to start on July 26 at a price of USD 299.99 on a two-year
contract.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 is then expected to arrive in China and key European
markets this quarter. Nokia plans to ship an exclusive variant of the device
with Telefonica to select European and Latin American markets. The Nokia Lumia
1020 will be available in yellow, white and black.
