Google’s about to kick another one of its features to the curb, though we doubt there’ll be any pitchforks and torches, à la Reader. Yes, the not-much-beloved “video response” on YouTube is going to Google heaven, apparently because the click-through rate was a pitiful 0.0004 percent.

Since Nokia’s released yet another phone with a big camera, we thought it’d be fun to let this Lumia 1020 meet its glorious pixel-loving forerunners. These are, of course, the 808 PureView and the N8 that bucked the trend of phone photography during their time. In terms of sensors, the 1020 comes with a new 1/1.5-inch, 41-megapixel BSI sensor, which is smaller than the 808’s 1/1.2-inch, non-BSI offering of the same resolution. Still, both chips are understandably larger than the N8’s 1/1.83-inch, 12-megapixel sensor, which may sound less exciting but was well ahead of its time. We’ll try and get some sample shots from each of these in a moment for a quick comparison, so until then, enjoy our hands-on photos below.
