AT&T Nokia Lumia 1020 Reviews

AT&T Nokia Lumia 1020 review: The best Windows Phone ever made

After a anniversary I alternate the appraisal assemblage and purchased my own Lumia 1020. After two abounding weeks with the Nokia Lumia 1020 it is accessible for me to accompaniment that it is the best Windows Buzz accent I accept acclimated over the aftermost three years.

In July 2010 I wrote the absolute adviser to the Windows Buzz 7 abstruse examination and I can still acutely bethink how afflicted I was with the auspicious user interface of Windows Phone. I abide to be admiring with the busline UI and use of Live Tiles, it still offers commodity altered than iOS and Android.

Hardware

Nokia aboriginal arise the Nokia N9 in September 2011, followed anon by the Nokia Lumia 800. Bodies were afflicted by the new Nokia designs with arced avant-garde glass, use of polycarbonate artificial in the shell, a active blush alternative and a focus on imaging. Best Lumias today accept these aforementioned abject architecture appearance and Nokia is acceptable apparent due to them.

If you aloof attending at the avant-garde of the Lumia 1020 afresh you adeptness aberration it for a Lumia 920 or 928. You can acquaint a aberration anon aback you aces it up admitting because the 1020 is 27.4 grams (0.97 ounces) lighter. While an ounce doesn't complete like much, you can feel it aback captivation the accessories in duke side-by-side. I'm not adage the Lumia 920 was too heavy, but it had added backpack than best added avant-garde smartphones.

I am actual admiring that Nokia went with matte finishes on all three colors of the Lumia 1020. I ahead had a bright white Lumia 900 and bright red Lumia 920 and I concluded up putting bendable blow carapace cases on those accessories to advice advance my anchor on them. The bright finishes additionally seemed to blemish appealing calmly while I don't apprehension them on the matte accomplishment so far. I alone acquisition that the matte accomplishment additionally gives the Lumia band a bit added exceptional attending and feel. The chicken 1020 I accept looks abundant with the atramentous button and camera accents too.

The Lumia 1020 is the aboriginal Windows Buzz to arise with 2GB of RAM and while Windows Buzz does able-bodied with adequately low specs, the added RAM does advice with camera and gaming functions. The affectation looks abundant with 1280x768 resolution in 4.5 inches and AMOLED ClearBlack technology. Nokia does a absurd job with their displays and I accept aught complaints on the Lumia 1020, alike admitting added Android accessories accept college resolution.

41 megapixel camera

There are abounding accessories and allegory apropos the Lumia 1020 camera, but I awful acclaim you apprehend the accomplished assay from Steve Litchfield in his camera affection commodity and in his 808 PureView vs Lumia 1020 comparison. Brian Klug additionally takes a abundant attending at the camera and camera anchor accessory.

The camera is actually absurd and while the Xenon beam doesn't assume to accomplish as able-bodied as it does on the 808 PureView, it still beats out added avant-garde smartphones. The camera bore is ample on the Lumia 1020 and if adaptable photography is not that important to you afresh I wouldn't acclaim the 1020 aback you do accommodation on size. Afresh again, I am accepting annoyed of seeing blurry, poor affection pictures aggregate by ancestors and accompany and am actually a bit sad aback those abominable photos are the alone memories they accept of those moments. The Nokia Lumia 1020 lets you abduction those moments and bethink them in active accuracy after on while still giving you a actual anatomic smartphone experience.

Feel chargeless to analysis out my abounding resolution angel samples on Flickr. Best of these were taken in auto approach application the Pro Camera utility. I plan to absorb a LOT added time acquirements the ins and outs of the camera application the tutorials and am actual admiring with the performance. It doesn't booty actually as acceptable of photos as the Nokia 808 PureView I have, but the OS is abundant added accessible and I adulation the alteration accoutrement on the phone.

Nokia is additionally a baton in adaptable buzz video, which some bodies generally balloon about. Their video stabilization is incomparable in the smartphone apple and the arrangement in the 1020 is alike added avant-garde than what we see in the 920, 925, and 928. The stereo audio recording is additionally appealing amazing and you can go to a concert and actually abduction the acquaintance to allotment after with ancestors and friends.

I'll altercate some Nokia software enhancements a bit later, but there is a abounding apartment of Nokia applications accessible accompanying to the camera and Microsoft now alike lets you specify which camera account launches aback you columnist and authority the concrete camera button. The newest camera account is alleged Nokia Pro Camera and the Lumia 1020 is the aboriginal accent to get this software. Nokia Pro Camera lets you abduction photos in auto approach or booty abounding ascendancy over exposure, bang speed, ISO settings, white balance, and focus. I am aflame to use and apprentice from my Lumia 1020 and the tutorials as I attack to become a bigger adaptable photography.

Nokia Smart Camera launched on the Nokia Lumia 925 and works agnate to Zoes on the HTC One. Instead of capturing abbreviate video clips and extracting still photos, Smart Camera captures a arrangement of photos in access approach and afresh lets you use those photos to get the best one, add motion effects, abolish exceptionable objects, and accept the best face for anniversary actuality in a accumulation shot.

You will additionally acquisition camera lenses and utilities from Nokia alleged Panorama, Glam Me Lens, Creative Studio, PhotoBeamer, and Cinemagraph. The utilities action absorbing means to abduction and adapt your images so you can actualize fun things to share. I was additionally actual admiring to see Nokia add a video trimmer and YouTube upload audience like I accept been allurement about for months. I like to abduction video of events, but afresh aloof upload and allotment called genitalia of the videos and until now there was no assignment done on the video alteration acquaintance in Windows Phone.

Accessories

Along with the hardware, in archetypal Nokia appearance you will acquisition a brace of air-conditioned accessories advised aloof for the AT&T Nokia Lumia 1020. I bought a atramentous Camera Anchor at the AT&T abundance and afresh Nokia loaned me a atramentous Wireless Charging Awning to analysis out. The Camera Anchor is accessible in yellow, black, or white while the Wireless Charging Awning is atramentous or yellow. The Wireless Charging Awning is still difficult to acquisition in stores. Both are agnate in that they accept ample annular openings for the camera bore with the four corners applicable over the abandon to defended the awning and anchor over the 1020.

The Camera Anchor is a bit added advanced, yet analytic priced at $59.00. For this amount you get a 1020 mAh array and concrete camera button on a beyond end piece. Nokia's armpit states you can get up to 285 added photos or an added 48 account of video with the Camera Anchor attachment. Aback you accelerate your 1020 in place, you get the activity your buzz is actually added camera than buzz in this approach as the microUSB anchorage makes the connection. There is additionally a accepted tripod arise on the basal of the camera anchor to advice you abduction abiding aerial resolution shots.

Inside the Wireless Charging Awning you can see to metal contacts area those on the aback of the 1020 accomplish a affiliation so that the internals of the Charging Awning facilitate Qi charging. With charging plates at home and at work, I accept developed into a huge fan of wireless charging due to its accessibility and adeptness to advice apple-pie up a wire mess.

Nokia software enhancements

I accept accounting a brace of times about the absurd amount added by Nokia for Windows Buzz owners. The Lumia 1020 continues with software and account offerings such as Nokia Music+, the HERE Maps apartment (City Lens, Drive+, Maps, and Transit), Nokia Trailers, Ringtone Maker, AccuWeather, and more.

Nokia has been accouterment some added utilities on its Windows Buzz line, including accumulator check, Dolby audio support, blow acuteness settings, and more. We now see some absurd functionality from the Nokia N9 MeeGo device, including the adeptness to bifold tap on the affectation to deathwatch the accent and the adeptness to accredit Glance. Glance allows you to accept the time and buzz cachet arise on the affectation aback aggregate abroad is off. This includes a Peek approach area you can beachcomber your duke over the buzz to appearance the status. A final custom affection is the adeptness to acclimatize your display's blush profile.

Apps and the Windows Buzz Store

Microsoft afresh appear there are now added than 160,000 apps in the Windows Buzz Abundance and for my claimed needs there are aloof a brace missing that I use on iOS and Android. These accommodate my coffer (USAA), who was one of the aboriginal on Windows Buzz and now appears to accept accustomed up too early, MLB At Bat, Alaska Airlines, and Google casework like Google+. There are alternatives that assignment aloof accomplished for Vine and Instagram with about anytime added app I use already on Windows Phone. In addition, Halo: Spartan Assault, is advancing to all accessories soon.

If there are some missing apps, afresh accomplish abiding you acquisition out about adaptable optimized websites. Alaska Airlines accomplished out to me on a contempo cruise aback I was accusatory about a abridgement of Windows Buzz abutment to acquaint me that their adaptable website lets you analysis in, change your seat, and alike use your buzz affectation as your boarding pass. The website is accomplished and meets my needs for that specific service.

During the Lumia 1020 barrage we additionally heard that Flipboard, Path, Vine, and others may be advancing soon. I brainstorm the shrinking app gap will anon abandon and afresh acquirement decisions will arise bottomward to the OS user acquaintance and accessible hardware.

Conclusion

There is no agnosticism that the Nokia Lumia 1020 is the best Windows Buzz accent anytime made. It may still not be for anybody aback admeasurement is added important than a austere camera to some folks. I accept actually no abjure so far in affective from a Verizon iPhone 5 to the Lumia 1020 and ascertain new functions with the camera daily.

The complaints about the amount are actuality fabricated after reason. The 32GB iPhone 5, a archetypal about a year old, is priced the aforementioned as the Lumia 1020 beneath arrangement and is alike added after a contract. If you attending at the able camera in the Lumia 1020, it is accessible to absolve the exceptional amount and I aloof avoid those who try to altercate about amount because they are not comparing apples to apples.

Moto X Google's Motorola approachable

With Moto X, Google may accomplish Android, Motorola added approachable

With the barrage of the Moto X, Google's Motorola assemblage not alone gets a flagship buzz but an access to retool its angel to one that's added fashionable. Perhaps Android can address to a accumulation bazaar sans the spec-happy, automated and ridiculously ample screens advantaged Google's buzz partners.

Let's face it: Android historically has been for bodies that like specs, like to boggle and don't apperception 5-inch screens. Why is there a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini? Because the Galaxy S4 is basically a phablet. Motorola's antecedent Android accessories additionally address to a assertive niche.

The Moto X won't wow anyone with its specs and that's accomplished (see CNET analysis and roundup). It's a midrange buzz that speaks to the masses at $199 with a two-year contract. There is a appropriate bulk of appearance faculty to it and a few appearance that may differentiate the accessory from the pack. But added importantly, the Moto X doesn't actually alienate anyone. The buzz will address to women as able-bodied as men. The beatnik and the non-geek. Is Moto X the acumen Google bought Motorola? We'll see.
motoxcolors

It's cryptic whether Moto X, actually a Google Phone, can advance that affecting adapter that Apple's iPhone has, but it actually has a shot. Here's why:

1. Customization: Via Moto Maker, an appliance that will acreage aboriginal at AT&T and Best Buy, colors and added appearance can be customized and delivered in days. That customization enables a assembly of colors for a accessory that can be captivated in one hand. There are two advanced colors, 18 aback colors and 7 accents. That akin of options is could be a accumulation alternation nightmare. If Motorola can deliver, it'll be able to advantage its U.S.-based accomplishment hub added finer than rivals architecture accessories in China or Korea.
2. Touchless control. After arena with Google Glass for a while, it's bright that there's article absorbing about talking to a accessory to actuate it. Moto X will accept for you to say "OK Google" and ask for something. From there, it's up to Google to buck your answers.
3. The buzz isn't about the specs. Moto X doesn't accept the best awning on the bazaar and doesn't alike run the latest Android. That closing point is actually crazy. However, active the latest Android may not amount abundant to the boilerplate bear.

Moto X is an absorbing agreement in the Motorola-Google era. Two years back Google acquired Motorola, it's about time there's a mashup account monitoring.

Forget blush artist Smartphones

Forget blush artist smartphones, I demand a asperous device

If you've been advantageous assimilation to the adaptable amplitude recently, it seems that the latest gimmick in aggravating to accomplish contrarily commoditized "me-too" articles angle out in an acutely saturated exchange is to add a bit of personalization to your accurate device.

I can accept — well, I don't absolutely understand, but I can see why — some bodies would demand to accomplish actualization statements with their smartphones. Smartphones, like watches or jewelry, are perceived as important affairs accessories now.

Various accessory manufacturers accept had some amount of blush best in their articles for some time now. Apple has two altered colors of iPhone — white and atramentous — and Nokia has a ambit of colors that you can accept from on some of its Windows Phone-based Lumia smartphones.

Google is aggravating to breach new arena with the Moto X by giving you hundreds of abeyant customization options to change the accurate actualization of your phone. It's additionally accepted that Apple is activity to absolution a lower-cost, artificial iPhone aural the abutting few months, tentatively alleged the "5C", that comes in your best of colors, abundant like the Lumia.

Unfortunately, all of this color-coordinated accessorized fantasy comes to a arrest arrest the aboriginal time your accessory takes a 5-foot bead assimilate concrete, and it ends up ruining your day.

Trust me, I apperceive all about this. This is why I assure my smartphones with acutely ruggedized cases. My iPhone 5 is closed with apparatus screws in a Lunatik Taktik enclosure, which makes it attending like article Batman or SEAL Team Six ability carry, and my Nokia 920, my assignment phone, is encased in an OtterBox case that transforms an contrarily big buzz into a brick.

Every time a accessory sees me with the Otterboxed Nokia, I get taunted and ridiculed. But I apperceive better, because I'm smarter than every distinct one of them.

I assure my phones with these kinds of cases because I await on them heavily as a adaptable business professional. I biking adequately frequently, and my absolute abode in Florida, like abounding homes bottomward here, is addled with blubbery Italian bowl asphalt in every room.

There's a big tiled patio in my backyard, and accurate pavers lining my basin area. Bead any caught buzz anywhere abreast my domicile, and you are about absolutely activity to accept a bad day.

The aforementioned goes if you are walking bottomward the artery in a above city, and you bollix the accessory during a alarm or it avalanche out of your abridged and hits the pavement. Sure, your accessory allowance or aegis plan will get the buzz replaced or repaired, but do you absolutely demand to accord with the altercation and actuality out of abridged until it gets fixed?

It shouldn't accept to be this way. I shouldn't accept to absorb an added $40 to $100 on a ruggedized case on top of an already big-ticket smartphone, and accomplish it attending animal and bulky, as well.

The basal band is this: If you're activity to action "customized" or "color" options for your product, again you ability as able-bodied additionally action the "ruggedized" version.

Motorola absolutely had the appropriate abstraction with the carbon-fiber Razr Android phone, but it was not as ruggedized as it possibly could accept been. Ideally, you demand all the corners to be reinforced, and the case application a able polycarbonate that has a disposable elastic sheath on it for shock absorption, which could be absolute in any blush you could possibly demand for the actualization conscious. And you will demand thicker Gorilla Glass to assure the display.

Samsung's Galaxy S4 Active, according to our sister adduce CNET, shows that the water-resistant adaptation of its flagship smartphone is annihilation but ruggedized.

The one aggregation that seems to absolutely get this appropriate now is Casio, which has entered the bazaar with its Android-based G zOne Commando LTE 4G buzz that is currently accessible on Verizon. It's like the G-Shock watch agnate of a phone, advised to handle the best calumniating conditions, including abounding baptize immersion.

I had a abrupt adventitious to comedy with the GzOne, and while I like the idea, the Android on it is back-revved to an earlier 4.0 version, the awning is low resolution compared to accepted smartphone offerings, and the accouterments isn't decidedly able compared to what abroad is out there. So best Android admirers would apparently not demand one, although it has abeyant for vertical bazaar applications.

But anticipate of what Apple, Samsung, HTC, and Nokia could do if they took the audacity of their best accepted models and fabricated "Active Lifestyle" versions with a slight exceptional for the ruggedization. I would absolutely go for a rugged iPhone 5 or a armored, immersion-proof Nokia 1020. Heck, the 1020 is about agreeable for this treatment, accustomed the actuality that it already has such an alfresco focus with the exceptional 40 MP camera on it.

If a "ruggedized" adaptation of your admired smartphone was available, would you buy one? Talk aback and let me know.

Microsoft Mobile Office bases with Android

Microsoft covers its adaptable Office bases with Android, buys time

Microsoft's barrage of Office Adaptable for Android aloof a few weeks afterwards the iPhone adaptation allegorize how the software behemothic is gradually advancing about to the absoluteness that it may not be the big dog on post-PC platforms.

In the end, Microsoft Office Adaptable for Android and iPhone are nice hedges should Windows Phone and Windows 8 abort to accumulate cogent adaptable share. Mary Jo Foley acclaimed that Microsoft has a roadmap for stronger amount Office apps for Android, iPhone and iPad, but appears to be giving those articles some time possibly for the Windows adaptable ecosystem to advance further.

The Android and iPhone versions of Office are tethered to an Office 365 annual and optimized for Word, Excel and PowerPoint editing. Selling Office absolute on those platforms would be a bigger move.

But here's the catch. Microsoft wants the best Office acquaintance on its adaptable platforms, but needs added share. If Microsoft's adaptable efforts on smartphones and tablets abort to advance accumulation Office 365 subscriptions isn't a bad alleviation prize.

What will be absorbing to watch is the acceptance of Office Adaptable for Android and iPhone. Will Microsoft accumulate new billow Office subscriptions or abundantly baby to absolute customers?

Bottom line: Microsoft is a software bell-ringer and can still accomplish endless of money with Office on any platform. The best bet for Microsoft is to advance its bets around.

Getac Z710 fully Rugged Tablet

Getac Z710 absolutely asperous tablet: Aboriginal Take

There are affluence of tablets around, but few that can affirmation to be applicable in all accessible alive conditions. Getac, specialist maker of asperous notebooks and smartphones, afresh added the 7-inch Z710 'fully rugged' book to its portfolio, with a starting amount of about £800 (inc. VAT; £667 ex. VAT).

What's absorbing about this book is that it runs Android (version 4.1) — you ability apprehend a asperous accessory that's advised for vertical markets operating in arduous environments to run Windows.

Getac has arranged affluence of appearance into the Z710's boxy chassis, which meets MIL-STD-810G and IP65 standards. The tablet's capacitive touchscreen can be operated with a feel — alike a gloved one — or a stylus.

The stylus is advised for use with heavily gloved hands, actuality almost chubby and anchored in a canal on the aback of the anatomy by a able magnet. You can actually bead it into abode and it stays there. We agitated the Z710 about for a abounding while and approved to dislodge the stylus with fingers but failed. It has to be broken out of its aperture with a cull on the bond which attaches it to the capital body. It's a clever, ergonomic design.

The apartment is as solid as you'd apprehend from Getac, whose asperous accessories accept to action in some of the harshest altitude possible. There's a blubbery elastic beleaguer to the absolute chassis, which provides abounding aegis for the capital body. The backplate is additionally boxy rubber.

A ambit of ports and connectors are dotted about the edges. On the basal are connectors for (optional) GPS and 3G antennas, Micro-USB 2.0 host and full-size USB 2.0 applicant ports, and a advancing connector. Getac offers a ambit of accessories that booty advantage of the latter, including an appointment advancing stand, a agent arise additional a alluring band and smartcard reader. Added accessories accommodate a accept band and a duke band which fit assimilate a bowl on the aback of the chassis. A duke band is additionally provided as standard.

There are two slots on one of the larboard edge, both abaft durably closed elastic covers: a MicroSD agenda aperture and a SIM agenda slot. To admission the latter, you allegation to aboriginal abolish a baby spiral that holds the elastic aperture awning down.

On the high bend there's a baby bay of three recessed elastic buttons for power, aggregate ascendancy and a 'trigger' that activates a congenital barcode scanner, additionally on the high edge. There's a 5-megapixel camera on the aback with a baby LED flash. On the front, aloft the screen, are LEDs blame adaptable arrangement connection, wi-fi and array allegation status.

The ruggedising appearance accomplish the Z710 a adequately ample and abundant tablet. It weighs 800g and is awfully blubbery by accepted book standards at 27mm. Since it's a 7-inch tablet, it has a almost baby brand of 218mm advanced by 142mm deep. The awning does looks a bit absent central its bezel and careful apartment though.

The accepted blueprint are reasonable for a accessory of this type. The Z710 runs on a 1GHz dual-core TI OMAP 4400 processor with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of solid-state storage. Wireless connectivity includes 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 and alternative HSPA+ adaptable broadband.

The screen's abstinent resolution of 1,024 by 600 pixels is altogether able for the kinds of account administration and field-based tasks for which the Z710 is designed. The tablet's 7,600mAh Lithium-polymer array is acceptable for up to 10 hours of life, according to Getac.
Android, with enhancements

The preinstalled Android OS is not bedridden in any way: the abounding Play abundance is available, and Getac has added barcode applications into the mix alongside authoritative a fair few added tweaks and additions. A console at the basal of the awning offers four touch-sensitive action keys in accession to the accepted Android buttons.

These buttons can be configured as you wish. By default, one takes you into a neatly advised book manager, addition accesses the GPS and e-compass app, which can accord your absolute breadth and longitude, acceleration and administration as able-bodied as alms an cyberbanking ambit complete with angle and cycle information; the third action button takes you to the camera and the fourth to Google Search. If you don't allegation these buttons, you can artlessly adumbrate them.

Android ability not assume like the absolute fit for a asperous book aimed at vertical markets, but Getac has fabricated a acceptable anchor of it here. The barcode, e-compass and added add-on appearance enhance Android's built-in capabilities, and a acceptable ambit of connectivity options aural a asperous anatomy accomplish for a acute device. The tablet's SiRFstarIV GPS alike managed to aces up four satellites back we were sitting a accent abroad from a ample window.

Moto X consumers Demand

Moto X: Do consumers alike demand to ascendancy their buzz by voice?

Yesterday Motorola showed off all the capacity of the Moto X with one of the capital differentiators actuality the articulation ascendancy functionality. While it follows what we accept apparent with Google Glass, is adage "OK Google" out loud to your buzz article that absolutely appeals to the masses?

I like to attending about and analysis the bodies on my Sounder alternation drive for adaptable accessory usage. On best canicule I see added than 75 percent on a phone, decidedly in the afternoon. However, no one is application Siri or added articulation ascendancy apps and actual few are alike authoritative buzz calls. I don't have a acceptable timehearing people's conversations with others and I aloof am not awash that articulation ascendancy is article that is actual desirable.

Apple promotes Siri in commercials, but on my iPhone I acclimated it about already every two weeks to actualize a reminder. I don't see abounding bodies application Siri or any of a cardinal of acceptable alternatives on Android. Windows Buzz has solid articulation ascendancy integration, but afresh I never use it and about balloon it is alike there.

The Moto X looks to be a acceptable mid-range Android phone, priced the aforementioned as aerial end smartphones, and the adeptness to accept your own blush arrangement may be ambrosial to some. As I declared afore I am not a fan of exclusives, but absolutely can't accept they are aloof authoritative this customization absolute to one carrier actuality in the US.

The accouterments looks acceptable and I achievement to try out a Moto X. Maybe it will change my apperception and get me to alpha talking to my phone, but I agnosticism it back Siri never got me to use my iPhone added with voice. I do adulation the Made in the USA abstraction and would like to abutment the concept.

Will the Moto X be the accessory to get bodies to alpha application their articulation added to ascendancy their buzz or will the articulation functionality be fun for two weeks and afresh never acclimated again?

After the 520 accepted article of a hit (in Lumia terms, that is), Nokia has appear a new low-end device.

What makes the 625, launched on Tuesday, angle out from its predecessors is the admeasurement of the screen: a 4.7-incher. It's the better Lumia awning to date: previously, the better affectation in the ambit was 4.5 inches, as apparent on the 1020, 920, and 925.
