Camera
The standout feature of the Nokia Lumia 1020 is undoubtedly its camera. Sporting a staggering 41 MP sensor with Carl Zeiss optics, optical image stabilization (OIS), and both Xenon and LED flashes, it was a trailblazer in smartphone photography. The camera's f/2.2 aperture and wide 26mm lens facilitated excellent light capture, delivering impressive image quality with fine detail and vibrant colors. The device supported 1080p video recording at 30fps with 4x lossless digital zoom, setting a high bar for video capture at the time. The front-facing camera, a modest 1.2 MP sensor, supported 720p video recording, which was typical for its time but unremarkable compared to its primary shooter.
