Nokia's Latest Flagship -- Lumia 1020

It was once the world's largest mobile phone maker for almost a decade, but has since declined since 2010. After Samsung's rapid market domination , Nokia has struggled to stay afloat even with the collaboration with Windows Mobile. It currently owns less than 10% of global phones sales, as compared to over 40% for Samsung. Thus, the latest flagship of the latter, the Nokia Lumia 1020 introduced recently, is to allow Nokia to gain significant domination in the high-end market.

Its main features is its 41MP Carl Zeiss optical lens Camera, that provides stunning image quality that is only comparable to the older Nokia PureView 808 which is running Symbian OS. The image quality is even better than some of the cameras available in the market, providing it with a huge head start over the other flagships. Moreover, Nokia has been known for their excellent phone cameras over the last few years, enabling this phone to be catered to the vast majority.

However, the Windows Phone 8 Operating System used has been criticised for its lack of apps and customisations that are incomparable with other popular OS (iOS, and Android OS), thus allowing it lose the competitive edge in the market.

In my opinion, although the Nokia Lumia 1020 will allow Nokia to increase its global  phone market, it will be significant but not rapid, simply because it is not a game changer.
