This week, the Nokia officially presented the new Lumia 1020 e Lumia 925 at an event held in Rio de Janeiro. At the invitation of the manufacturer, we traveled to the wonderful city and spent a whole day testing the Lumia 1020, which brings the powerful combination of Windows Phone with camera PureView of 41 megapixels. in relation to Lumia 920, there is not much hardware difference, so we focused our hands-on on the amazing camera, which also equips the Nokia 808 PureView.
We tested the camera using the default application Nokia Pro Cam and the accessory Nokia Camera Grip, which turns the smartphone into a compact camera, as well as adding an extra 1020mAh battery.
The application
Nokia Pro Cam is an easy-to-use application and has very interesting professional controls, with emphasis on the possibility of manual focus. In our tests, it accurately recognized different scenes and set the camera for above-average shots.
The camera
with technology PureView, 41 megapixels, optical stabilization and xenon flash, the camera is the great differential of the Lumia 1020. This combination delivers the best photography experience today, even better than the Galaxy S4 Zoom. Unlike many compact cameras, this Lumia knows how to intelligently take advantage of the large pixel capacity of its sensor, allowing up to 6x digital zoom and photo reframe without loss of quality.
When taking a photo, even with digital zoom, the device saves a full 35 megapixel version (the camera does not take advantage of the entire 41 megapixel sensor) for future editing and another 5 megapixel for sharing. In addition, each pixel of the lower resolution photo is formed from 7 pixels of the full version, which means more light to form each pixel, resulting in photos with more details and better low light performance.

Photos and videos
As is to be expected from so much technology, photos and videos are clearly of superior quality. Digital zoom no quality loss and night shots are the camera's great differentials. The technologies Nokia Rich Recording and optical stabilization also enable smoother video and up to 6x louder audio. Check out photos and videos below. PureView 41 megapixels.
