Real world camera difference between the 920 and the 1020 is not much, unless you're a camera buff. The 920 image stabilization is still one of the best in industry, comparable to the 1020, though the 1020 is slightly better due to more springs in the camera lens than the 920. Battery is more or less the same for both the phones since 1020 uses less power due to the amoled but if you're a camera buff, the 1020 camera would suck the battery like juice, the 920 build is better than the 1020, it's a rock! The 920 would get all the system and OS updates as the 1020.
To put it together, if you are tight on budget, get the 920 and you won't complain, if you have extra money, go for the 1020 and you still won't complain, lol

Re: ATTENTION !!!! 920 & 1020 users
If you are not really into camera then go for the 920. It's really the best Window phone according to price, I'd even say the best smartphone. Has got a real decent camera, 32GB memory, the sexy red color :-D, also the IPS display is quite good and not to forget the built in wireless charging. In my country 1020 is about double expensive than the 920, so I bought 920. Don't know about your country. But 920 serves really well for me. And gets almost all the things done that a smartphone should do.

Hey, I agree, but I don't like bulges and don't like the thought of the outer cover being scratched.

Hey welcome to WPCentral forums
Lumia 920 is an E=Excellent device. you can either go for a Lumia 920/925/1020. let me quickly compare it for you
Lumia 920 has 32GB on board storage vs Lumia 925 is limited 16GB without SD card
camera on both Lumia 920 and 925 is again excellent :wink: but images on Lumia 925 are slightly sharper (thanks to extra lens in Lumia 925 )
Lumia 920 is tank where as Lumia 925 is slim , aluminium body and lighter (note that Lumia 925 is prone to scratches on aluminium body )
Lumia 920 has wireless charging built in reason why its a tank ) where as you have to buy a shell for Lumia 925.
both have the same CPU, GPU and ram but display on Lumia 920 is an IPS where as lumia 925 is an amoled one
now if you compare this to Lumia 1020 you will have a bigger camera sensor. 41 Mega Pixel camera
you will et lossless zoom , frame/reframe image anytime you want to , raw image capability , CPU and GPU are same as Lumia 920/925 but RAM is bumped to 2GB because of camera module but it will also help in future apps/games that will demand 2GB ram.
If you want a great phone with decent camera go for Lumia 920 +1 for 32GB built in memory or if you want the best camera smart phone go for Lumia 1020 :smile:

I have the 920. Get the 1020 because of the camera. Size is a little bigger but 920 is heavy anyway. Screen on 1020 uses less power in glance mode too.

The camera in 1020 is far more better than 930 will have, which is same than on 1520

Re: ATTENTION !!!! 920 & 1020 users
i have both, i just got the 1020 yesterday. I didn't get it cheap but at least it's cheaper than MSRP and came with lots of accessories. The main reason that i got the 1020 is because my 920's camera is acting really weird, color and sharpness is messed up because of the firmware i believe.
1020 is noticeably lighter, the camera is definitely better but don't think it'll make everything magical, just like a DSLR won't suddenly make your photos look better. Other than that i think 1020 is exactly the same. (BTW, taking photo is noticeably longer than 920 for sure, like 2 secs more, it doesn't bother me much but that means you won't be able to take multiple shots in a short period of time.) It's a great device get it!

Re: ATTENTION !!!! 920 & 1020 users
low light photos = 920 still beats 1020 (in my limited use of 1020, own a 920) - i appreciate 1020 better camera overall, but some folk require best low light performance at cost of other things, so thought i would mention that

Re: ATTENTION !!!! 920 & 1020 users
I have owned both of these phones and while I love the feel of the 920, I liked the weight and solid feel. I do think the 1020 is the best choice if you are jumping on board now. Mainly because it was released later than the 920 and support from Microsoft will continue longer.
The camera grip is an awesome accessory for gaming on your phone too, it allows for a nice grip while playing as well as the added battery life. Also, as for the shot to shot time. There is a significant difference when you are shooting RAW files if you intend to do the processing on your computer. Otherwise you can set it to take just regular jpeg files instead and it is the same speed if not slightly faster than the 920 because of that 2GB RAM.
Speaking of the RAM, I noticed a better frame rate with the 1020 while playing Order & Chaos which is a rather big MMO on WP.

920 performance has been rock-solid for me. No lagging or freezing.

If you don't need that massive camera, the 1020 is just an overkill.

Re: ATTENTION !!!! 920 & 1020 users
Wasn't the extra 1GB RAM dedicated for the 1020 camera?? ...
I have a 920,,, and still loving it, waiting for 8.1 to hit my neck of the woods

Re: ATTENTION !!!! 920 & 1020 users
I disagree. The 1020 certainly plays higher end video games better than the 920, I feel it is due to the extra RAM. It may be because of the different screen but the games certainly were smoother on the 1020 over my 920.

Re: ATTENTION !!!! 920 & 1020 users
Just did a reset yesterday on my 920 and now it's smoother than WP8 IMHO. The 920 starts off with the original WP8, so give that a shot.

That's what I thought. So, really its 1gb, correct?
I read an earlier post, seems so. Lots of misconception about this if so. People are always exclaiming the benefits of 2gb on 1020...

Re: ATTENTION !!!! 920 & 1020 users
I have owned WP's since 7.0. My wife and I have both owned LG Quantums, HTC TItans, Titan 2's, L920's, L1020's and my wife now owns the 1520 and my daughter has the 520. The 920 is a solid phone and the OS and apps run buttery smooth, even now. But on higher end games I noticed an increased frame rate with the 1020. I got all these phones on release day so I know what they are like with a fresh install and after being used for a while (theres not much difference) As I stated before the way the 920 feels in my hand was my favorite out of all the phones, but I do think the 1020 is slightly superior in its specs and fluidity with higher end games (there is no difference with the OS, or games like flappy bird and such.) It is the higher end games, mostly Gameloft games that I noticed improvements.
