Nokia is holding a press event in New York on Thursday to "reinvent zoom," but here's the star of the show: the Lumia 1020. The Verge understands that Nokia will unveil its Lumia 1020 Windows Phone complete with a 41-megapixel camera and PureView branding. We're told the Lumia 1020 will come complete with a 4.5-inch AMOLED display, 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. Some of the specifications for the device leaked earlier this week. Nokia is also supplying a wide-angle lens on the front facing camera of the Lumia 1020.

Nokia's PureView camera on the Lumia 1020 will include a Xenon flash and F/2.2 lens, alongside a new Pro Camera application and the company's OIS stabilization. The camera app will provide access to white balance, ISO, focus, shutter speed, and other settings through a radial menu-like interface. We understand that Nokia's camera app is feature heavy, with options to toggle aspect ratio on photos and the ability to enable a "dual capture" mode that takes images at different resolutions at the same time.
