Nokia Lumia 1020 arrives in the Philippines

Nokia unveiled the Nokia Lumia 1020, the smartphone that sets a new benchmark in smartphone imaging which is able to produce some of the sharpest images possible by any digital camera thanks to Nokia’s innovative PureView technology, including a second generation 41 megapixel sensor, six lens Carl Zeiss optics with optical image stabilization – allowing people to capture, edit and share professional quality photos and videos.

Using a new application called Nokia Pro Camera, it reinvents zoom, allowing people to shoot first and then zoom later to discover and re-discover stories that contain more detail than the eye can see, capturing pictures t recording and share memorable experiences.  Nokia Pro Camera simplifies features usually reserved for professional cameras and teaches people how to take better photographs – day or night.  The Nokia Lumia 1020 boosts creativity and makes it easier to shoot, edit and share pictures with unrivaled clarity,  with its 41 megapixel sensor and Nokia Pro Camera app.

With over 175,000 apps, the personal nature of Windows Phone makes it the perfect platform, 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 a dedicated camera button, Windows Phone is designed with imaging in mind.
