Nokia introduces the first 41 megapixel camera phone with it’s Lumia 1020. It boasts more detail than the eye can see to catch up with rivals Samsung and Apple.
Featuring dual capture, the Lumia 1020 can take high resolution 38 megapixel image and 5 megapixel picture for sharing on social networks.
On top of that, it also has a “floating lens” technology that adjusts to shakes and six lenses to help produce sharper images.
Powered with Windows 8, it is probably still limited to the library of apps available on the app store compared to Android and iPhone.
The new Lumia, which use Windows software, will be sold in the US from July 26 on mobile telco AT&T for $US299.99 with a two-year contract, and will be available later in other markets including China, Nokia said.
