Nokia Lumia 1020 Smartphone Review
Performance: Benchmarks
In addition to using the Lumia 1020 in a
variety of everyday usage scenarios, we also conducted some formal
performance testing to see how well the handset compares to other
smartphones. WP Bench is a performance-oriented benchmarking application
within the Windows Phone Marketplace. To date, it's one of the only
effective ways to test the small-but-growing stable of WP handsets.
We've compared CPU, Data and GPU benchmarks below with the Dell Venue
Pro, Samsung Focus, Lumia 900, and Lumia 920.

That said, we're looking at the scores here in something of a vacuum. The reality is that the phone scores either equal or slightly below the Lumia 920, which shipped in 2012. The same CPU is used in the Lumia 1020, with the only major addition being a move from 1GB to 2GB of RAM. In too many ways, this is just a Lumia 920 with a snazzy camera. Nokia didn't go through any real trouble to update the internals in any other major way. That said, at least the 1020's extra RAM will afford you more responsive handling in higher-end functions like HD video playback, gaming etc.
