Yes because in December We will get Update which will make Snapdragon 805 Work on Windows Phone and Only Snapdragon 805 can handle 41 Megapixel fine 801 and 800 Can't.
Have you read? They Made it support it that's why it was so Slow with Shots
Oh so the Lumia 1020 had a 805Have you read? They Made it support it that's why it was so Slow with Shots
Why reduce cost?That's exaclty what I am trying to say, they can make a Snapdragon 800 and 801 work with a 41 MP sensor but it would be slow as well.
The 805 has support for Gigapixel ISPs and can support 55 MP sensors.
But Nokia spent a lot of years creating the technology used in the Pureview 808 and 1020, I'm pretty sure they are working on a possible 1030 but they will need some way to reduce the cost, which might involve using a older SOCs, or reducing the display quality to 720p.

1020 sold good, its still regarded as a bench mark camera by many reviewers.
Its not the processors,its the way you make hardware and software work for you, remember the OLD GEN 808 has a slow processor and is low on RAM, but Nokia still managed to make a way, buy giving it a dedicated camera chip. 808's sensor was way to big the time it was launched.
Their is a 1030 coming for sure,its upto Nokia how to mend the software and hardware to get the best results.
Nothing is impossible, Nokia have years of experience up their sleeves, now they working with MS things just can get better.
Tom Warren from The Verge had reported the 1020 successor wont have 41 mp, It does'nt mean the camera will be bad.
Bigger sensor,Less amount of pixels, better image handling capabilities and amazing both daylight and low light shots can result in good 1020 successor.
2k video 4k video are just gimmicks, how many Percentage people own 2k-4k TVs or laptops.
will you record 1-3 min of 2k-4k video or 2-xx mins FULL HD video with lossless zoom ?
choice is yours.
Correction: The S4 processor was NOT capable of handling 41 MP. Nokia collaborated with Qualcomm and rewrote the chip's imaging part to make everything work.The 800 and 801 can handle 41 MP camera, even the years old Snapdragon S4 could and that's why it was used in the 1020.
This is purely speculation and I wouldn't believe this.
