hey guys Brian Bennett for cnet.com and we're at nokia's launch event in New York for the new Nokia Lumia 1020 this basically Falls up the 920 and it runs windows phone 8 Microsoft's operating system it has pretty much the same basic specs on the inside as the 920 I see a very large LCD screen and the same sort of polycarbonate coating but on the back you have a a 41 megapixel camera from Nokia which is extremely powerful it has a xenon flash and that's something you only find in you know pointed shoot cameras things like that and it basically can do something called over sampling which essentially takes a ton of information that wants and packs it into your photo so you can zoom in extremely tightly and you know share that and see a lot of details that you would have missed in another more standard photograph as you can tell it's running a Windows 8 operating system I have the same menu features here learning a lot of apps some of the things that they say that they've been talking about today has been the nokia camera app which offers lots of ways to adjust the exposure settings and a lot of the other camera features just by sliding a little display on the screen as you can see you can you can pull this out and get this really funky sliding interface here you can adjust the iso by going like this you can can change all sorts of features here just by using this interface on the touchscreen pretty nice you do actually have a choice of accessories that you can get with the lumia 1020 one of them is a camera grip which will actually attached to the back cover screen i believe stick on the back and add extra battery capacity as well as a grip so you can hold the camera better while i was taking photos you can also get a a backing that will actually add wireless charging to the device it's not actually built into the phone itself but you can add that the fact it does believe make the phone a little bit thicker so that's something you might want to think about before you go that route another feature that the Nokia is talking about is their new updates the map software and there's a feature here that they call which enables you to look at an all automated reality view of the places and items you search for so here we are we're doing a little search for the subways around us you can see we're looking through the camera and we see a little radar of that turns as you tilt the device and it shows items of interest and how close they are to you you can see you know the results that are nearby all in all it's a pretty interesting way to sort of get augmented reality into your search and that is the nokia maps feature we're just taking a little twirl here just to see what it's all about it's a little bit thinner than the the first 920 the original 920 device so that's pretty nice there you have it folks we took a first look at nokia's brand new Lumia 1020 I'm Brian Bennett for cnet com
