The Nokia Lumia 1020 and Lumia 625 arrive in Canada
Revolutionizing the smartphone camera and big-screen experience
TORONTO, Oct. 3, 2013 /CNW/ - Today, Nokia announced that the Nokia Lumia 1020 and the Nokia Lumia 625 are available to Canadians. The Lumia 1020 sets a new benchmark in
smartphone imaging, boasting a second generation 41 megapixel sensor.
Unlike any smartphone in the market today, it reinvents zoom, enabling
people to discover more detail than the eye can see. With Nokia's
innovative PureView technology, including Optical Image Stabilization,
the device is able to produce some of the sharpest images possible by
any digital camera. The Lumia 625 combines a large 4.7-inch screen and
high-speed 4G LTE Internet access to bring a premium entertainment and
communication experience at a very affordable price.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 makes it easy for anyone to take professional
quality images thanks to leading hardware technology combined with a
new application called Nokia Pro Camera. Either before a picture is
taken or after it has been shot, the zoom capability enables people to
discover and then rediscover the personal stories each image can tell.
With a beautiful interface that visually demonstrates how settings will
affect the final photo or video, Nokia Pro Camera makes it easier than
ever to capture, edit and share photos and videos with unrivaled
clarity.
Using a new feature called dual capture, the Nokia Lumia 1020
simultaneously takes a high resolution 38 megapixel image for endless
editing opportunities, and creates a 5 megapixel picture that is easy
to share to social networks with Windows Phone 8.
The Nokia Lumia 1020's 41 megapixel sensor features leading ZEISS optics
with six physical lenses, plus Optical Image Stabilization, delivering
crystal clear pictures even in low light conditions. It also captures
blur-free videos with stereo sound even at the loudest concerts thanks
to Nokia Rich Recording, which handles sound pressure levels six times
louder than conventional smartphone microphones.
The new Nokia Camera Grip is an accessory that easily clips onto the
smartphone, giving a more robust grip. It has a camera button that is
of a similar size and in a similar position to SLR cameras giving
better ergonomics for advanced shooting. It also has a tripod mount,
and a 1020mAH battery boost, allowing users to take even more photos or
videos. The Nokia Camera Grip comes in two colours (matte black and
matte yellow) and will be available starting today for a suggested
retail price of $75.00.
"The Nokia Lumia 1020 is a giant leap forward in smartphone imaging
technology, removing the complexity of photography while enhancing
people's creativity in the way they shoot, edit and share pictures,"
said Matt Rothschild, Vice President, Nokia North America. "The Nokia Lumia 625 is the perfect all-round smartphone, combining innovation traditionally
found on high-end Lumias, with a suave design and affordable price
tag."
Both smartphones come with full global navigation (the latest versions
of our HERE experiences), and with ad and subscription-free Nokia Music
streaming.
As with all Windows Phones, Live Tiles update direct to the home screen,
and People Hub makes it easy to stay connected with friends and family.
Windows Phone 8 also includes Xbox Live, Microsoft Office, and 7GB of
online SkyDrive storage to simply make life easier.
Both the Nokia Lumia 1020 and 625 are available in Canada on October 3.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 comes in black and yellow and is available at
