Hardware specs and Camera

The Lumia 1320 packs a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset with 1GB of RAM. There's an 8GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded via a microSD card slot.

The phone also houses a 5-megapixel rear facing camera along with a front-facing camera for long video chat. To decrease the cost, Nokia has reduced the size of image sensor. GizBot found that the picture quality is above average, which is not bad for phone having a 5MP camera. It's not a premium phone like the Lumia 1520, which has built-in 20.7MP image sensor.

Since the Lumia 1320 is a budget phone, one should not aim for high-end camera sensor at a price point of $339 (Rs. 20,000). Nokia has included Nokia Pro Camera and ReFocus camera app included into a package. The Nokia ReFocus app will turn your Lumia 1320 into Lytro-style camera.
