Here’s a quick look at the specifications of the Lumia 1020:
- 4.5-inch AMOLED display with 1280 × 768 pixels resolution
- 3G, Wi-Fi, NFC, DLNA

Speaking about the BSI sensor on the Lumia 1020, it doesn’t really equip a 41MP sensor. Nokia has taken data from up to seven pixels to create each pixel of the final 5 megapixel image; so essentially, each image is either 34 megapixels (in 16:9 aspect ratio) or 38 megapixels (in 4:3) in size. As the most avid photographer may also not find the need to have such large images with them on their smartphones, Nokia has made it such that only the reduced 5 megapixel image is available for viewing on the phone and sharing with peers. The larger size image is only accessible when the phone is connected to a PC. Click here to know everything about the 41 megapixel camera.
