After an unprecedented amount of leaks, Stephen Elop took the stage
at the Nokia Zoom Reinvented event in New York to proudly announce the Nokia Lumia 1020 - the company's new Windows Phone 8 cameraphone flagship.
The Nokia Lumia 1020's centerpiece is the 41MP autofocus PureView
camera with a huge (by smartphone standards) 1/1.2" BSI sensor, 6-lens
ZEISS optics and optical image stabilization. It is coupled with LED
flash used for video shooting and a proper xenon flash.
The Lumia 1020's optically stabilized 41MP image sensor that can snap
40MP and 5MP photos at the same time – one straight off the sensor and
one after Nokia's Super sampling has been applied. The other 41MP
cameraphone - 808 PureView can only shoot one or the other at a time.
To make the best out of this beast of a camera, the Nokia ships the
Lumia 1020 with its Pro Camera and Smart Camera camera lens apps.
They'll allow advanced users fiddle with the camera settings and get the
most out of the impressive shooter - there's even a full manual mode,
which is a rarity outside prosumer or pro-grade cameras. At the front,
there's a secondary 1.2MP wide-angle camera. The Nokia Lumia 1020 in black
Nokia Lumia 1020 can capture videos of up to 1080p resolution and
thanks to the high-res sensor it features lossless zoom. You can zoom in
up to 3 times in 1080p mode and up to 6 times when shooting 720p video
without sacrificing much in terms of quality. Sound is recorded in
stereo and is guaranteed to be crisp and deep thanks to the two wide
dynamic range microphones on board.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 internals don't bring many surprises as the
smartphone is powered by the same Snapdragon S4 chipset with a 1.5GHz
dual-core Krait CPU as the Nokia Lumia 925.
A nice addition is the 2GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage. As usual,
Nokia and Microsoft have teamed up and provide 7GB of free SkyDrive
storage. The Nokia Lumia 1020 in yellow
You'll be able to admire the beautiful photos taken with the 41MP
camera on the 4.5" Clear Black AMOLED display of 1280 x 768 pixels
resolution. It is protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and features
Nokia's PureMotion HD+ technology for smoother animations. Super
Sensitive Touch technology is present, too, allowing you to operate the
phone with gloves and nails. Nokia Glance Screen is available thanks to
the Windows Phone 8 Amber update.
Local Connectivity is standard and includes Bluetooth 3.0, NFC
(featuring SIM-based security), dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and GPS
with Glonass support. Network support is quite wide covered with
quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, 42Mbps UMTS/HSPA and LTE support.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 is powered by a 2000mAh capacity and supports
wireless charging via an accessory cover (purchased separately). The
Finns say the phone will be able to last 16 days on standby and provide
13.3 hours of talk time. Video and music playback endurance are rated at
6.8 and 63 hours, respectively.
This impressive camera module is certainly pretty large, but the
Lumia 1020 isn't too bulky overall. At 130.4 x 71.4 x 10.4 mm, the
smartphone is pretty much the same size as the Lumia 920,
except that this time there's a large bump on the back. The Lumia 1020
is also lighter than its predecessor, tipping the scales at 158 grams.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 will be available in yellow, white and black. It
will hit AT&T on July 26 for $299 with a two-year contract, while
global availability is yet to be confirmed.
This is the Jaguar Project 7 concept. It’s a one-off car based on the new F-Type convertible,
and will debut at this weekend’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. It’s
called the Project 7 in homage to Jaguar’s seven victories at Le Mans
between 1951 and 1990.
The aluminium bodied roadster was
created in just four months, and pays tribute to the Jag D-type with an
inspired rear fairing with an integrated rollover hoop. The model has
also been equipped with a new front bumper, an enlarged grille and a
variety of carbon fiber
components not found on the base F-Type. A rear wing, 20-inch wheels and
Pirelli P-Zero tyres with a white sidewall make their way on to the
road racer as well.
Project 7 has the kind of racing-inspired form that designers dream
about. It has one purpose: to be driven fast and enjoyed. Jaguar sports
cars are known for exceptional performance and clean design. Project 7 captures that spirit in its purest form.
- Ian Callum, Design Director, Jaguar Project 7
The Project 7 is powered by a
supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine producing 550 HP (405 kW) and 680 Nm
(502 lb-ft) of torque. It is connected to an eight-speed Quickshift
transmission which enables the car to go from a standstill to 100 kmph
in 4.2 seconds and hit an electronically-limited top speed of 300 km/h
(186 mph). The Project 7 also has a sports-tuned suspension, an
electronic rear differential and a sinister sounding free-flowing
exhaust.
The interiors have been done up as well. Elegant diamond-quilted leather upholstery and carbon fiber
trim make the inside of the Project 7 a very nice place to be. Only one
composite racing seat with a four-point harness is to be found, with
the passenger seat making way for a bespoke helmet holder that secures a
matching Project 7 helmet.

You have seen the camera samples, a comparison with the Nokia 808 PureView and the unboxing, and we felt that’s not enough to let you know about the camera on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom.
So, here is a camera review with all the details you’d expect of the
camera part of the S4 Zoom. What you will read is a deep dive into the
technical details of the camera with a walkthrough of the UI, the camera
samples and a short conclusion, leading up to our full review later. We
have documented that on video first, do watch it here and go past the
break for the text.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom has a 16 Megapixel 1/2.3″ CMOS sensor with
a pixel size of 1.34 um, which is pretty standard stuff when it comes
to point and shoots but definitely special on a hybrid camera phone like
the S4 Zoom. The sensor also can go upto ISO 3200. On top of the sensor
sits the Samsung-made lens. It has a focal length of 4.3-43mm with a
10x multiplier in optical zoom. When the crop factor is to be
considered, the 35mm focal length equivalent of the lens becomes
24-240mm. That’s a wide to telephoto lens with a variable aperture.
The aperture varies from f3.1 – f6.3 which is pretty slow but that’s
what you get from a compact point and shoot camera these days. The lens
incorporates optical image stabilization for non-shaky pictures at full
zoom and long exposed low light shots, and of course stabilized video
too. Talking of video, the camera can record full HD 1920×1080 video at
30 fps, with the optical zoom enabled and can record 1280×720 videos at
60 fps. This is all accomplished by a feature packed camera interface.
The camera interface is typically Samsung, and reminds us a lot of
the Samsung Galaxy Camera’s user interface. You have a mode and a
battery indicator on the top right, and below that is the software
shutter button for stills. On a single touch, it focuses once and takes
the shot. Below the software touch shutter button is the mode dial.
Below the mode dial is the video button that instantly takes a video
when pressed. Right below that is an upward arrow that reveals various
basic filters and over at the bottom left is the gallery shortcut. Above
the gallery thumbnail is the options to use touch controls for the
optical zoom and at the top left are the toggles for the front facing
camera, and there are additional settings too. You can refer the video
above for better understanding of the UI and here are some screenshots
to help you for the same -
Coming back to the important mode dial, when pressed, it opens up
with four options. “Auto” which is the auto mode obviously, and then
there are the other “Smart”, “Expert” and “My modes”. Lets go through
them one by one. The “Smart” mode is a kind of a scene selection mode
that is very similar to the one on the Galaxy Camera, and eventually
that showed up on the Galaxy S4. The smart mode opens up a carousel that
can be changed into a grid for easier selection of modes. There are a
ton of different modes and are a mix of what you get on point and
shoots and recently, in high end smartphones like the Galaxy S4. There
are specific scene and camera modes like Candle light, light trace,
macro, sunset, silhouette.. etc that are like the Galaxy Camera and
several other point and shoots while there are also these Drama shot,
Sound and shot, Animated image, best shot, best face.. etc that you find
on the Galaxy S4. All the features work as advertised and enhance the
default photo experience.
While all the smart modes pre configured modes for a typical scene,
the expert mode lets you tinker and change almost every controllable
aspect of the camera. The expert mode reveals a familiar yet slightly
different faux-lens control UI like the Galaxy Camera with three modes –
program, manual and colour wizard. The Colour wizard setting lets you
tweak the image exposure, saturation, colour balance, sharpness and
contrast, basically dealing with everything about the image, while the
program and manual modes let you tweak the finer aspects of the camera.
The program mode and the manual mode are almost similar, with option to
change exposure compensation, ISO, white balance and set different drive
modes, with additional options of controlling shutter speed and
aperture in the manual mode. That makes it very likeable for people who
understand the three main aspects of exposure – aperture, shutter speed
and ISO. And lastly, the “My modes” option lets you pin your 5 favourite
smart scenes or expert modes to that screen for an easy and quick
access.
Coming to the actual camera performance, you can get a detailed low down of each and every camera sample here in our earlier post about the S4 Zoom’s camera samples, and if interested, check out the comparison with the reigning cameraphone king – the Nokia 808 PureView.
Armed with several features and scenes, the Galaxy S4 Zoom takes good
pictures in every condition possible. While they are very usable, the
photos always seem a bit over processed, with some edge sharpening, and a
lot of noise reduction going on in some of the low light pictures, but
they are pretty usable for instant sharing. But people looking at some
pro-level post processing for their pictures might be disappointed. In
the end, the Galaxy S4 Zoom is a pretty decent point and shoot slapped
on to a phone. If you are ok with the bulkiness, weird form factor and
the awkward usage as a phone, it will serve well but then, is it really
worth that effort? We’ll let you know in our complete review. Stay tuned
to our YouTube channel for more previews of upcoming content!
Ah, the great outdoors - not enough reception to put the "phone" in
smartphone, but plenty of dust and water keep it out. Good thing there
are IP67-certified phones like the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active then,
combining premium specs with enough durability to survive a hike or a
dive. Samsung Galaxy S4 Active official images We've become a little wary of the Galaxy S label, which Samsung
flagships share with a number of almost unrelated devices, which simply
piggyback on their reputation. That's not the case of the Galaxy S4
Active though, it's a proper flagship. The 5" 1080p screen has been moved to TFT tech instead of Super
AMOLED like on the regular S4, but LCD's are typically brighter, and
plus LCDs are less likely to suffer water damage. The camera situation is less clear though - Samsung downgraded it
from 13MP to 8MP and while we've seen plenty of good 8MP cameras, 13MP
is the current flagship standard. Everything else seems in order,
however, here's the yay and nay list for the Galaxy S4 Active.
Key features
IP67 certification - can spend up to 30 minutes in up to 1m of water
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE; quad-band 3G with HSPA; LTE
Smart volume and Adapt Sound features for the music player
Main disadvantages
Camera downgraded to 8MP
Screen is TFT, not Super AMOLED
Thicker and heavier than regular Galaxy S4, Sony Xperia Z
No FM radio
Shared camera interface makes framing tricky
No thermometer or hygroscope
Samsung is not new to rugged Androids - the Galaxy Xcover line (along
with carrier-specific versions) has been around for a while, but those
favored durability over specs. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is not as
rugged as those phones, it is a premium package. Samsung Galaxy S4 Active in the office That includes the powerful chipset, the advanced connectivity,
exclusive features, the works. Of course, it's not without competition -
the Sony Xperia Z has been around for a while and it's clean, elegant
design doesn't pay the rugged tax - the IP57-certified Xperia Z is a
suave survivor. But anyway, if you search "quad-core, 1080p and water
resistance" you'll find a very short list of options. The internal hardware and the software of the Samsung Galaxy S4
Active are almost identical to those of the regular S4, the real changes
are on the outside.
