Nokia Lumia 1020 arrives in Hong Kong

Pre-ordering starts 18 September.

Nokia unveiled the Nokia Lumia 1020 in Hong Kong on Tuesday, the smartphone that sets a new benchmark in smartphone imaging.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 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, the Nokia Lumia 1020 reinvents zoom, enabling people to shoot first and then zoom later to discover and re-discover stories that contain more detail than the eye can see.

With a beautiful interface that visually demonstrates how settings will affect the final photo or video, Nokia Pro Camera simplifies features usually reserved for professional cameras and teaches people how to take better photographs.

“Consumers want to capture and share memorable experiences with their smartphone. We want to take people on a journey from capturing pictures to recording and sharing their lives.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 brings new meaning to pictures and continues to strengthen Nokia’s leadership in imaging.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 is the first smartphone to exceed many standalone digital cameras in terms of image quality capture ensuring users always have that perfect photo – day or night,” said Vlasta Berka, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Nokia Pan Asia.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 is the most versatile digital camera in the market today. Its unique dual capture feature simultaneously takes a high resolution 38 megapixel image for endless editing opportunities, and creates a 5 megapixel picture that is easy to share on social networks with Windows Phone 8.

“The Nokia Lumia 1020 marks a giant leap forward in smartphone photography. With its 41 megapixel sensor and Nokia Pro Camera app, the Nokia Lumia 1020 boosts creativity and makes it easier to shoot, edit and share pictures with unrivaled clarity,” said Gary Chan, Head of Marketing, Pan Asia at Nokia.

Delivering crystal clear pictures even in low light conditions, the Nokia Lumia 1020 also captures blur-free videos with stereo sound at the loudest concerts thanks to the Nokia Rich Recording feature, which handles sound pressure levels six times louder than conventional smartphone microphones.

As a special treat, Nokia Lumia 1020 users in Hong Kong will be eligible to receive a one-month free trial printing of 30 photos simply by downloading the app “iLovePhoto”.

The offer includes free home delivery service for all Lumia 1020 users. The offer will start from early October, 2013.

Starting from 18 September 2013, Nokia will begin accepting pre-orders for the Nokia Lumia 1020. 

Consumers can simply go to Nokia Stores, Nokia Solutions Partners and local operators to order their Nokia Lumia 1020.
