Nokia's Zoom Reinvented event in New York City opened with a focus on photography and continued on in the same way in fact, it's almost hard to accept it was a smartphone launch.



From Silicon Republic:

When it comes to camera-phone technology, Nokia has a lot to boast about. The company holds about 450 imaging technology patents and over the years has introduced innovations such as Carl Zeiss optics, Xenon flash, floating lens technology for optical image stabilisation and, let’s not forget, the coveted Nokia 808 PureView with a 41MP sensor.

PureView fans were hoping for a smartphone that built on this 41MP model today, and Nokia did not disappoint. The Lumia 1020 comes equipped with an ultra-high-resolution 41MP back-side illuminated sensor capable of capturing 34MP and 38MP image files in 6 x 9 or 4 x 3 aspect ratios, respectively.
