So yesterday we found out that the Nokia Lumia 1020 would take the crown as the MOST EXPENSIVE FLAGSHIP SMARTPHONE TO DATE (if you don’t count silly phones like Vertu and what not) at RM2,499 including the camera grip of course. So at Lowyat.NET we were taken aback by the price and naturally we decided to make a list of what you could get instead of paying RM2,499 for a single smartphone and camera grip.
*Disclaimer: This is not meant to be a serious article, in fact we’d like for you to leave a comment and give us suggestions on what ELSE costs less than the Nokia Lumia 1020! We will be updating the list as the day goes on with our favourites!
Without further ado here we go!
