Although it was included in the last post, this particular video deserves it’s own piece (as does the ProCam promos but there we go). It was first seen in the Nokia Lumia 1020 launch keynote, as well as that awesome video showing the internals of the 1020’s camera. Who is this narrator? We’ve loved this […]

Despite potentially what others have considered a better screen (larger, more pixels, better outdoor visibility, it loses to the S4 zoom on ‘saturation’ and ‘vibrancy’. It wins on all counts where it’s important, camera performance and design (in terms of […]
