I would like to add that the manuscript was written too late and the physical education teacher taught mathematics, so the starting price in the article was 5999 yuan, and things changed. Almost eight years later, I finally bought this once true flagship with a nostalgic collection mentality. In these eight years, the depreciation rate of this mobile phone is as high as 2 142.5%. " I misspelled the depreciation rate here! It is 95.33%! ! !

Originally, this article was written in May, so set up a flag for yourself. Who knows that my own flag has been left behind because of various trifles? ......

In this article, I want to tell you that I bought a Nokia 1020 for collection at Little Yellow Croaker in April for 288 yuan.

Speaking of Nokia, as long as it is not after 10 (of course, some people after 00 may not be familiar with it), I believe everyone will be familiar with it. As the absolute overlord of the mobile phone industry before Android and iOS came out, Nokia can be said to be a seemingly unshakable mountain, so many classic models appeared. The most famous and peak period should be Nokia's N series. But today, we won't talk about these (although my family also collects a lot of N series Nokia products). What we want to talk about is the last product that came out on the eve of the collapse of Nokia Empire-Nokia Lumia 1020.

Why did I say that Lumia 1020 was a product that might be able to turn the tide at that time? Because in the hot summer of 20 13, TA came with a 4 100W carl zeiss lens. You should know that on 20 13, the mainstream flagship mobile phones were all 800 ~130. Not to mention that the technology is not awesome. Just a pixel three times larger than this number has given it enough gimmicks.

Judging from the official propaganda film at that time, 1020 really focused on professional camera shooting. The main slogan of this mobile phone at that time was "zoom image revolution, just around the corner". Now it seems that it is a bit like what Lei always said that Xiaomi 1 1 Ultra is a "war of inflection points".

At that time, the domestic starting price of Nokia 1020 was as high as 5999 yuan, which was much more expensive than Apple's mobile phone at that time.

Back to 20 13, besides Nokia's 1020, there are actually many flagship machine worthy of our attention. That year, Apple just came out for 5s and just got the touch ID. Password and gesture unlocking are still the mainstream, and fingerprint recognition will be popularized for another year.

The picture comes from the internet.

That year, Xiaomi launched the third mobile phone-Xiaomi 3, which was also the first and only Xiaomi mobile phone with NVIDIA Tegra 4 processor, and it was also Xiaomi 3 mobile phone, which made Xiaomi turn from prosperity to decline at that time, and the internal problems were quite big. At that time, many people thought that Xiaomi could not live. Fortunately, as it turns out, Reebs went to the supply chain himself.

The picture comes from the internet.

At that time, Meizu was still a small factory in Zhuhai (now). Instead of 15, 16, 17, 18, Meizu MX3 was launched, which is also my favorite mobile phone series (I am MX2, MX3, MX4 Pro, MX5, MX. Because at that time, in my opinion, Meizu MX represented not only a mobile phone, but also an obsession with dreams. That is also a belief, a belief that "pursuit comes from love"! But today's Meizu, what a pity! ! ! ! ! !

The picture comes from the internet.

Of course, there are Samsung Galaxy S4, Google's son Nexus 5, Sony L39h and so on. That year, Qualcomm Xiaolong 800 was the mainstream. In a blink of an eye, I was a freshman in 20 13 years, and now I have been working for almost five years, and time waits for no one!

The topic seems to have gone far. Back to Nokia 1020, let me start with its design.

20 13 is the third year of cooperation between Nokia and Microsoft (they confirmed the cooperation on 20 1 1), so many Nokia WP mobile phone products were launched as early as 1020, but all of them have quite recognizable design languages and use quite recognizable materials, that is, polycarbonate body. The same is true of this 1020, which inherits all the design genes of Nokia Lumia series, so that people at that time knew it was a Nokia product at a glance, and even now they can see this distinctive Lumia feature at a glance.

The speaker of 1020 is designed at the bottom and uses a Micro-USB charging port. After all, although the Type-C standard had come out at that time, the most mainstream was Micro-USB. 1020 also has a lanyard at the bottom, which is convenient for putting some small accessories and lanyards on the mobile phone. This design seems to have disappeared now, right?

The top is the SIM card slot, which is also equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack. The previous standards are almost extinct now.

This extinction is all caused by apples, hahaha!

1020 the most interesting thing is the two metal contacts on the back, because they can be connected by handles, which is more like a professional "card machine". Moreover, this handle is now sold for 200+ on the small yellow croaker, so I only bought a mobile phone and didn't buy another handle to experience it.

If you had bought this handle, it was really a good accessory. On the one hand, it can give you a better grip when shooting, and you can also put your mobile phone directly on the tripod. At the same time, this handle is also a mobile power supply, which can give the mobile phone a longer battery life, killing two birds with one stone.

The side is also equipped with an exclusive camera button, which highlights its distinguished professional photography positioning.

I remember when Looking for X3 was published this year, it said something about the design of "comprehensive crater". In my opinion, the convex design of the back camera of 1020, which was launched eight years ago, looks like a "crater". As far as the overall convexity is concerned, compared with the convexity of iPhone 12 now, it can really be said that the convexity we criticize now is not harmonious, and we really groan (except for the convexity of PS: Xiaomi 1 1 Ultra).

As for the feel, after all, it is only 4.5 inches, which is considered as the "small screen flagship" at present. Moreover, the rounded fuselage on both sides, coupled with the polycarbonate that Lumia series loves, personally feels really "skin-friendly", but if you want to say which mobile phone manufacturer is doing well, I think you should say "Zhuhai Small Factory" Meizu, and everyone should have no objection.

In terms of performance, Qualcomm processor is adopted and the operating system is WP8. 1. Of course, you can also upgrade to WP 10 now, but now the WP system is cold, and many applications can't be downloaded, so when I bought this phone, I just collected it, and downloading an app was basically gone. As for the capacity of 2000mAh, I can only say sorry.

The appearance, feel and configuration are briefly introduced. The most important part of 1020 is to introduce its core-some shots.

In order to make this shooting more comparable and see how the imaging performance is now after 8 years, I also took out my main user, iPhone12, and made a comparison to see how much the image has improved in the past 8 years.

In terms of hardware quality alone, 1020 is superior to iP 12 in terms of parameters. Even in terms of parameters, I think 1020 is better than iP 12. But now our mobile phone imaging system is a set of multi-camera +AI algorithm routines. Compared with 1020, I believe there is still a gap when a single camera takes an algorithm as the main force.

1020 is covered by a cover when the camera is not in use. When the shooting button is pressed for a long time or the camera is turned on, the cover will open, revealing the real content of the camera.

How to distinguish the shooting specialty of 1020? I think the most important thing is that 1020 is equipped with xenon flash besides the big black camera module. Although this kind of flash has disappeared in the current mobile phone, this kind of xenon flash is extremely powerful under the condition of 20 13, night scene and dark light algorithm is still not perfect, which can really be said to be "flashing".

I wonder if I bought this version of 1020. Now I don't think there are many things that can be set in this 1020 shooting interface, but I have the impression that the image system settings of this mobile phone should be very rich, but this does not prevent me from comparing it with iP 12.

Comparison of 1020 in 20 13 years and iPhone 12 in 2020. Although it may not be fair, I think it is necessary to compare. After all, 1020 was at the leading level in the industry at that time, and iP 12 was the mainstream shooting level at present.

The first group is the comparison of indoor close-range shooting. On the whole, 1020 is cold, while iP 12 is a little red. If you enlarge the details, you can clearly see that 1020 can't show the detailed lines, while iP 12 can also see some lines on the cat's hand, which really has unparalleled advantages in detail performance.

The second group is consistent with the first group, and the details of 1020 are obviously not as natural as those of iP 12.

In the third group, it can be clearly seen that 1020 has a sense of blur after local amplification, while iP 12 can be kept clear.

The fourth group is a kind of outdoor distant view photos. As far as the overall impression is concerned, the imaging of 1020 will be darker, while that of iP 12 will be brighter. After zooming in, both of them can see the details, but the smear feeling is still strong, but I think this imaging effect is enough even now.

The fifth group of photos mainly wants to see the clarity of the text. If we can see this dimension clearly, I think 1020 is not behind iP 12 at all, although there is a difference of seven years between them.

The problem of the sixth set of proofs is the difference between the dark image of 1020 and the bright image of iP 12, which is personally thought to be caused by the later algorithm.

The seventh group and the eighth group are all taking flowers at close range outdoors. It is not difficult to find that the orange color of 1020 will be quite gorgeous from the comparison of the two sets of proofs. This gorgeous color may look good at first glance, but it will make people feel unnatural and even have a false feeling. However, this situation will appear on the flagship mobile phone that is not very good at present, and it is still more suitable for making friends. I think iP 12 is more natural. Although the color is not too bright, at least I think it looks good.

In the last group, I directly tried to compare my strength in the dark. If you turn on the xenon flash, you can really solve the problem of dim light, but I think this solution is a bit "overexert" and has an impulse to directly turn black into daytime. As for the overall imaging quality after turning off the flash, and I think this imaging is quite powerful when it is placed at 20 13, but there will still be a lot of noise and a strong sense of blur when it is enlarged, and the accumulation of dark light in iP 12 for so many years will really be much more natural.

The starting price is 5999 yuan. I was a sophomore that year. In terms of my living expenses at that time, this is definitely a product that I would never dream of buying.

Time has passed, almost eight years, and I finally bought this once true flagship with a nostalgic collection mentality, although the depreciation rate of this mobile phone in the past eight years is as high as 2 142.5%.

Although this product didn't make Nokia survive in the fierce competition of mobile phones, in terms of product strength, 1020 was indeed ahead of the times at that time, but unfortunately it was born at an inopportune time. After all, in terms of product strength, mass consumers may need products like "bucket machine" more than products that are "outstanding" in one aspect.
