> Nokia tried the "photography first" smartphonecamera - it didn't fly

I worked at Nokia at the time. The Lumia 1020 didn't fly because it failed to ship with an OS that was considered "good enough" (and yes, "good enough" means "has apps") by consumers.

A Lumia 1020 with Android would have sold better (and shipped sooner)

May have been a reference to an older device, the 808 pureview.

That said, Nokia has had multiple devices over the years that had a heavy focus on camera.

Did any run Android though?
