Nokia has unveiled a new Lumia phone with a powerful 41MP camera that promises sharper images, even in low light.
The
Nokia Lumia 1020, powered by Windows Phone 8, was introduced on
Thursday at an event in New York. The 41MP camera records more detail
than other camera phones and even tops point-and-shoot cameras. More
pixels mean more sensors for capturing the light that forms an image.
This
new smartphone features a technology called Dual Capture, which takes
two shots at the same time, one at 38MP resolution and the other at 5MP.
The former is meant for photo editing, while the latter is ideal for
social media uploads, said Nokia.
The 41MP
Zeiss camera has five lenses and features Nokia's PureView imaging
technology, along with two types flash - one LED and the other Xenon. In
order to provide a better photography experience, the Finnish
manufacturer has included the Nokia Pro Camera app and Nokia Rich
Recording video capturing technology in this handset.
Other
hardware specs of the Lumia 1020 include 4.5-inch PureMotion HD+ Amoled
display, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 2GB RAM, 2,000mAh battery and 32GB
internal storage.
The company said the
smartphone will arrive in US on July 26 on AT&T, priced at $299.
After the US launch, Lumia 1020 will be headed to China and key European
markets, Nokia said.
Last year, Nokia released
a phone featuring a 41MP camera that runs on the now discontinued
Symbian operating system. Samsung last month launched a Galaxy S4
variant that has a 16MP camera with Xenon flash on the back.
