Nokia Lumia 1020 in 2024 | Nostalgia & Features Rediscovered!

In this video, I take a closer look at the Nokia Lumia 1020, what made it so special for its time, and show you what its camera can still do in 2022!

The Nokia Lumia 1020 is the spiritual successor to the Nokia 808 PureView, and while in some ways it had a better camera system, in others the 808 was still better. All things consider, the Lumia 1020 remains one of the most iconic cameraphones of the past decade.

That device definitely deserves a place in a museum in future. That's an extraordinary brick of tech 🔥

So ahead of time. The 1020 still looks amazing with seamless design. If they release this with thin bezels and better mobile operating system, then it will sell like crazy in 2022.

Nokia should give a award to this man ....real nokia fan

[RudolfSikorsky]

Thank You for the nostalgy, Abdulla. Had both 1020 and 808 years back. Decided to keep 808, as Symbian fan who already had 950XL for my Windows Phone needs.
Keep them nostalgy hits coming!

I bought my Nokia Lumia 1020 back in 2014. I've been happy with it. In 2024 I still use it.

Yes please upload that review, Lumia fan would definitely want to see that review

These Lumia devices were really ahead of their time, Microsoft had an ace up their sleeves, but i guess they gave up way too early and didn't do anything to improve the software. I wish they make a comeback somehow.

Oh man. The 1020 was amazing. I had the pleasure of playing with one when it came out and did a review of it (you can check it out if you'd like). I loved how the manual controls would just slide out giving you full control. But I think Nokia held themselves back by putting all their eggs in Microsoft's basket. MeeGo should have got all the love and development it deserved, and I'm pretty sure they could have made Windows Phone devices as well. Nokia will always be dear to my heart

Mine sat in a drawer for 3 years and fired up. I was shocked how quick the interface response was after using a galaxy for 3 years. I miss my Lumia 1020 still. 😪

this phone doesn't age! I hope I had one🤧

[MARTINREN]

I had the 720. Sadly it got stolen. It was one of my favorite phones i ever owned.

Additionally, that phone made me third place in photography class against their expensive DSLRs

I used to own a Lumia 525. It was the most brilliant phone I've ever owned. Sadly, I had to sell it when I got frustrated with the lack of software support. I really do wish the device could make a comeback.

[thisisartman]

This guy is single-handedly reviving love for the Lumia series as well as Windows Phone UI. Hats Off man. Love your work these recent videos, they're really really amazing.

Hey Abdullah, it's been quite a long time since I've commented on a video I know.
Just wanted to let you know that I managed to get my hands on a NEW IN BOX 1020 on ebay from a seller in HK.
Just unboxed it and man seeing the yellow up close for the first time(only ever saw the white in person before) is amazing I'm glad I chose it. So eye catching and a really good way to compliment the curves and angles of the phone. And before you ask, no the battery has not bloated and it charges up just fine.
Truly amazing how well kept moisture wise the area this thing was kept in. If you have any questions I'm always happy to respond

[chikupachi]

It's 2022 and I feel so lucky to have found an almost brand new of this Nokia model for a much cheaper price.

[FelNiode]

Imagine if Nokia had chosen Android instead of Windows Phone back then..

[FAT]

Still loving the Lumia 1020. Despite the advancement in current smartphone camera technology, I'm still yet to see a modern smartphone that can truly surpass this particular Lumia's detail purity.

[NomanJohan]

I have both a 1020 and a Pureview 808. Love my collection :)
