Microsoft plans to release Lumia 1020-like devices

If you’ve been a fan of the 41-megapixel-toting Nokia 1020, you might be getting a new one in the future. Microsoft’s Corporate Vice President of the Phone Business Unit, Jo Harlow, confirmed with TechRadar that similar devices would be part of their product pipeline. He didn’t say when we’d be seeing it but the Lumia 1020 was out in 2013 so it is bound for a refresh under the now Microsoft-owned Nokia.
Harlow said, “Absolutely—we’re not end of the mission in camera technology, or in computational photography. We continue to invest in that area to bring the next greatest thing in high-end imaging.”

I am eagerly awaiting the release of a new flagship to follow the L920 and L1020. The L930/Icon was called a flagship, but wasn't, as it was produced with a cheap display that is not capable of running the key Glance function (which has been available on all prior Lumias). Flagships should never go backwards in capabilities, especially just in a move to lower the cost slightly, which should not be a consideration for a true flagship. My family and employees are ready to upgrade our 2 year old L920s, and we're waiting for the next TRUE flagship!
