Any news about a Lumia 1020 successor?

[buxz777]

for me personally the shot to shot times can be improved just by using the snapdragon 805 chipset , its a beast , it supports raw images up to 55mp , I think it handles more pixels processing then the 808s processing chip so it should at least be able to match the 808 shot to shot time which was never seen as a problem by anyone??

I think the reduced pixel count could be aiming for even better night time shots , ie keep the sensor the same size and it will improve the size of the pixels , the pixels were also a little smaller on the 1020 due to the sensor size being smaller then the 808s , so perhaps by doing this they are trying to get back to 808 type pixels with a 1020 size sensor??

the negative thing with this is , shoot now crop later , I love using it to reframe my shots and I would have thought by lowering the megapixel count we may indeed loose zoom or as much zoom?? that would be a bit of a bummer for me personally but id have to wait to see what made up for this , better pic quality etc

here is some info on the 805 some might find interesting AnandTech | Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 Performance Preview

one interesting thing is nokia are due the 1020 upgrade and if they time it right they could actually be one of the 1st to the market with the 805 soc in place ;-) how different would that be to how the hardware has been ;-) wouldn't it be great too see nokias flagship camera device to be the 1st device running the 805 ;-)

Nah, its still slow compared to the 5s and some newer droids.. faster than the 1020

The 805 SoC is great for high pixel density cameras,, now all we need is the imaging sensors capable of such high resolutions..

McLaren will be the successor to the lumia 1020.

I get the feeling all I've talked about in this thread concern plenoptic cameras, but...

It wouldn't be unreasonable to assume the 55 MP capacity on the S805 is just a means of future-proofing the SoC. What they've truly have been pioneering - and still work on - in the S805 SoC is the dual-channel ISP. So the mentions we've heard of more devices being on the way with dual camera modules may not be completely off.

Clearly the goal is to take the best possible photos with a good smartphone, a good battery life, a good screen and and a good form factor. If they can improve the photo quality with 1MP, that is fine by me.
