In case you are interested in knowing about the imaging sensor and other camera details of Lumia 1520, then we have you covered and we have done a mini comparison between camera specs of Lumia 1520 and Lumia 1020 as well. Lumia 1520 has a sensor of 1/2.5” as compared to 1/1.5” of Lumia 1020, which means, Lumia 1020’s sensor is 67.5% larger than Lumia 1520’s sensor.
Good thing is that the Lumia 1520’s sensor size vs mega-pixel count is comparable to 808 PureView’s sensor size vs mega-pixel count, as 1/2.5” (20 MP) is exactly half of 1/1.2” (41 MP) sensor size of 808 PureView.
Also, good to see 2X still image lossless zoom and 3X, 720P video capture lossless zoom. One more improvement is in macro image capture as camera focus range for Lumia 1520 is 10cm to infinity compared to 15cm to infinity for Lumia 1020. Also, the aperture of F/2.4 should provide good landscape image capture and mimics 808 PureView’s camera aperture.
