Any news on a replacement 1020?

[grezmel]

Anyone else fed up with waiting for a new flagship to replace the 1020?
Will it come from Nokia or Microsoft, any thoughts ?

We already know this. New flagship in the summer with Windows 10.

 

[Grant Butler]

Yes but will it be a camera flagship to kill off the 808/1020 or will it just be one good enough to compete with the GS6/iPhone 6s?

I got bored of waiting though, so I just bought a Sony RX100M3.

You mean compete with the Lumia 930? I mean, since it is the prince of cameras (with the 1020 being king).

The reason there hasn't been a flagship yet is because there is software and hardware that requires Windows 10 (like Windows Hello), and releasing the flagship now would either have those features turned off, or give away some cool features too soon. Just a heads up, what's coming will be cool.

Who knows when the next flagship phone will be released? There's not even a confirmed month of release. Personally, I'm tired of waiting. And assuming flagship will have the next generation of 41MP camera. Not holding my breathe. Already looking at the Galaxy S6 and waiting for LG G4 announcement. I still like Windows Phone OS, but the slowness of the phone is just getting difficult to live with.

I still like my 1020...but it's time to move on....

Summer, most probably in line with Windows 10 public release.

Most definitely from Microsoft since Nokia has sold it's business to Microsoft. Nokia brand is still showing, but I think they should drop it and emphasise Lumia brand.

You're gonna be upset when you miss out

:grin:

Can always come back...hahahaha.

Well there's some leaked Lumia 940 specs floating around. The camera may be good, but has a lower pixel count.

 

[RTGent]

Nope. Except for the lame 32gb storage, I'm happy with my current issue. Great call quality, battery life, and navigation, along with the highest smartphone reliability I've experienced.

 

[Kennethologist]

Summer is just around the corner so... yeah!

 

[hotphil]

I'd be looking around that corner, down the street to the next block where summer intersects with fall/autumn.
Then, take a stroll down that avenue to where US holiday season crosses first deliveries. If you hit non-US deliveries, you've gone too far and ended up at the far end of the Q1 2016 district.

Here's hoping for a sep/oct release. Cheers everyone. Love my 1020 to bits. Just needs faster processor and higher capacity battery. Don't need any other feature added. I will admit though that Qi would be a welcome addition for the US market on ATT.

My sister started to ask this question of me...she has a warranty plan through MS and just broke her 1020's screen. They said she could turn her 1020 in and get an 830 as that was their comp phone.

Ummm...what? haha. Sure, that could work when you were talking about a 920...but people opted for the 1020 because of the camera, not just the other specs. Kind of pathetic when you look at the offerings today (on AT&T, there is only a 830 and 635).

So, she went and got a $40 635 to use and is going to just sit on her broken 1020 until later in the year...she still has a while (I think warranty was 2 years after Dec of 2013)
