Microsoft has been doing a great job in bringing Windows Phone 8.1 to its existing smartphone install base. This sadly only applies to unlocked models, as some carriers haven’t pushed these updates to their devices as fast as we’d like. Still, the amount of changes in Windows Phone 8.1 is significant, and AT&T has just announced some love for its best Windows Phone yet.As of today the AT&T Nokia Lumia 1020 to receive Windows Phone 8.1 today appeared first on Pocketnow.

Out of the many Windows Phones Nokia launched in 2013, the Lumia 1020 was easily one of the best. To this day, the 41MP shooter hasn’t been overthrown as camera king, and it manages to remain smooth and fresh with a taste of Windows Phone 8.1… but it looks like Nokia Lumia 1020 End of Life status will soon be among us.To be clear, from what we understand, End of Life does not constitute end of support from Nokia — it ...

Nokia’s Lumia 1020 is the smartphone camera heavyweight to beat. With its just-announced Galaxy S 5, Samsung upgrades its flagship from a 13MP to 16-megapixel camera, while throwing in a bunch of new shooting modes and some impressive abilities like a super-fast autofocus. Will that be enough for the GS5 to give the 1020 a run for its money? We put these two handsets head-to-head at the MWC in Barcelona this evening to find out. Then again, aside from their better-than-average cameras, these phones are in many ways ...

“Wow. That Nokia XL is big.” That’s the first thought that hit my lobes when this hands-on comparison started playing on my monitor, but it certainly wasn’t the last. Because while the 4.5-to-5-inch jump in screen size is one of the more instantly recognizable differences between Nokia’s Windows Phone flagship and its new Android-powered phone for “the next billion,” it’s the least ...

Samsung isn’t the only company getting us pumped-up for its MWC event early next week, and as we finish trying to read meaning into all the imagery it threw at us in its own teaser video, we have a couple more companies generating interest for their own MWC events, with new teasers from Nokia and Sony arriving. Sony isn’t expected to have new hardware that’s quite as buzz-worthy as Nokia’s or Samsung’s, but there are at least a couple models we’re looking forward to, including

Nokia’s Lumia 1020 was easily one of the most impressive smartphones of 2013. Better yet, it’s one of the more innovative handsets of the decade, with its 41-megapixel image sensor, paired with optical image stabilization. Its solid design and Nokia’s reputation for quality didn’t hurt matters either. However, CDMA users have been left mostly to feed on the Windows Phone scraps of late, and Nokia stepped up to the plate with yet another stellar entry, the

So, I’ve got good news and bad news for you. The good news is that I’ve eliminated one of the three phones I’ve been debating for my forthcoming new phone purchase: The Lumia 1020. I’m sorry, bring me your torch. The Tribe has spoken. “But Adam! You’re a Windows Phone fan! How can this be? I hate you you lousy son of a…” Trust me people, I get it. I really want a 41 megapixel camera. I do, I do. But it’s just not enough to fork over ~$400 just to upgrade one component of my phone. Here’s a little background. I am currently toting a yellow AT&T Lumia 920 as my daily ...
