Reviving an old thread....didn't want to start a new one...
I recently bought a new Black Lumia 1020 for a dirt cheap price (don't ask how) and got a friend to unlock it from AT&T (I use T-Mobile), still waiting for the unlock code to go through though. I currently use a Rogers unlocked pentaband black Lumia 920 as my daily driver. Due to the pentaband frequencies I don't have any issues on getting HSPA+ or LTE on T-Mobile. Now after the unlock for my 1020 goes through...I was thinking of switching to it as my daily driver. But I am not sure why I am putting in so much thought to switch...not because I don't like the 1020 but because I love my 920. I know the switch (I won't call it an upgrade) would probably give me some perks in the Camera department but I would be losing on the Wireless charging (which I extensively use on my 920) and the great battery life out of it. Also I would be compromising on the network speeds in some places (I live in Columbus, OH and the T-Mobile network has been refarmed to 1900 for LTE and HSPA+), but I can live with it. Also the camera hump would need some getting used to since I am used to my smooth but heavy 920, it kinda makes it feel sturdy and well built...umm more like a Nokia
Now before some of you start suggesting that I should give the 1020 a try before judging before hand, I would like to ask for opinions from some of you guys who have been in this situation. Camera is not my main focus here (although its better to have the best quality phone camera handy) since I own a DSLR which helps me experiment with photography...and I can not complain about my 920's camera quality either which has been the best I have seen so far on any phones I have owned (including my 925, not the 1020 yet). I have also read through some recent 1020 threads that suggest that the 920 performs better in low light conditions due to the lower aperture, but real-life usage-wise the 920 camera does not lag that far from the 1020 (overall). Personally I also took some quick snaps on manual focus on both the 920 and 1020 and found the 920's color reproduction to be better than the 1020.
I don't know, the more I think and read about it, the more I get confused
. If some of you guys who have been in this situation, getting to know your experience would really help me :smile:...thanks!
