 On the downside , we find Micro USB connector in the center and put his right hand to the speaker , did not forget Nokia hole devoted to attach the phone by linking the wrist on the left corner .


  The phone has a Lumia 1020 screen "AMOLED" measuring 4.5 inches precisely 1280 × 768 pixel high sensitivity to touch and protected by Gorilla Glass 3 and fitted with special techniques from Nokia , such as "ClearBlack" and "PureMotion HD" which Tsihaman in providing the colors are bright and vibrant and highly variable , especially in black , also offers screen and wide viewing angles and superior performance under sunlight overcome a lot of the other screens . Although the screen does not support full clarity , like all Windows Phones iPhone - yet - but I personally Vdiltha a lot of screens of mobile competition full of clarity , such as the phone screen Galaxy S 4 and Xperia Z for its excellence in many aspects such as the level of brightness and clarity of text and graphics under the light the sun and the richness of the colors and intensity of contrast .
 To the top of the screen , we find the front camera along with the slogan NOKIA, and to the bottom of the screen , we find three buttons that we used to see in the mobile series Lumia , a button "Windows" in the center and to his right search button for quick access to the search engine " Bing " and to his left back button , all of which are virtual buttons touch .

The latest version of " Windows Phone 8" Amber and update of NokiaThe phone comes loaded with Lumia 1020 system and Windows Phone 8 along Althdethein "Amber Update" GDR2 of Nokia and Microsoft . And , like many of the phones " Lumia " that we tested previously , has a system and Windows Phone 8 smoothly and rarely find I have ever seen in the operating platforms of competition through the seamless performance and mobility fast between different applications without any slow little , and despite the fact that the phone supports dual-core processor and at 1.5 GHz , compared with only quad-core processors " and the eight -core " in the mobile competition show very slow in many cases . Despite the smooth performance and quick , which is characterized by the system and Windows Phone , but it still needs to significantly improve the user experience and here I mean with respect to the potential of personalization , as well as the needs shop Windows Phone to the lineup more diverse applications to be able to compete with platforms other . If you do not have sufficient background for system interface and Windows Phone , it is composed of the start-up screen with Mravatha live and constantly active "Live tiles" and customizable according to your own taste in terms of colors and measuring squares and place Todaha , and according to what you want to access it quickly gets each user to its screen pattern , and the rest of those squares live constantly provides you with the latest updates according to the quality of the information that interests you is a priority , and you can also customize the favorite group of people or places , for example, to access them quickly with one touch .

The integration itself can be found in the " complex images Photos hub" or " contacts " where they can follow the latest updates from friends on the side of different networks through a review of the tool " What's New ? Whats new". If I used to use the application " Anstjeram " on platforms competition will miss him on the phone , " Lumia 1020 " is to now is not available for Windows Phones iPhone and you can use the application 6tag instead of him , and also the case if turned from one of the platforms to use phones and Windows Phone will face trial different application Conversation Watts father Whatsapp, just remember it always . The number of applications in the store and Windows Phone to more than 165 thousand application so far is certainly the number does not compare applications dedicated to mobile for iPhone and Android phones , but at the same time includes a shop and Windows Phone all applications useful and important are looking for the majority of users , and that number is growing at the store rapidly day after day . With a big gap in the amount of applications between the shop and the Windows Phone and my shop Android and iOS are trying to Nokia dam thing that gap a lot of applications exclusive to phones Lumia , which focuses on the phone , " Lumia 1020 " on the field of professional photography , and can choose from many of those applications that comes on top of the default application Nokia Pro Cam , which we'll talk about it in some detail in the " performance of the camera ."

And outperform Phone Lumia smartphones in 1020 specializing in the field of photography by incorporating the superior imaging capabilities with proper design for everyday use and that unlike some competing phones like the Galaxy S 4 unnecessary who sacrificed next design in favor of medium- camera performance.
