The mobile world has changed a lot since Nokia last put out a phone that
truly wowed large amounts of people. Its tie in with Microsoft spawned
some half decent handsets but despite Nokia's best efforts, the world
was never truly set alight.Cue Nokia World 2012 and the announcement of the Nokia Lumia 920.
Make no mistake, this is more than a big deal for both Nokia and
Microsoft, with both having a lot riding on their respective
contributions. Many see it as Nokia's big throw of the dice: make
Windows Phone 8 into a top OS and the rewards are huge... fail, and
things look ropey for the Finns.
OS
The Nokia Lumia 920 comes running Microsoft's latest version of its
mobile OS, Windows Phone 8, complete with its interactive "Live Tiles"
interface.
Processor
Nokia have opted for a dual core Snapdragon S4 chip clocked at 1.5GHz, with Nokia standing firm on its belief there's such a thing as too many cores.
Screen
Lumia 920 measuring in at 4.5 inches
Storage
In the Lumia 920 you'll find 32GB of on board storage, backed up by SkyDrive, Microsoft's cloud storage system.
Camera
Nokia is playing its trump card in the camera department. Long being
known for fantastic camera devices, with Carl Zeiss lenses, Nokia is
bringing its PureView technology first seen on the Nokia PureView 808. However, this is placed over the top of a more modest 8MP sensor, with a 1.3MP front facing camera.
Connectivity
Believe it or not, being the latest breed of smartphones, all three
devices come fully loaded with every type of connectivity; 3G/HSDPA,
Wi-Fi, (for fast internet browsing on those mega screens), Bluetooth
(4.0 on the Galaxy S3 and One X, 3.1 on the Lumia 920), GPS and NFC.
Dimensions and weight
The Nokia Lumia 920 is the shortest phone at 130 x 70.8 x 10.7mm,but the heaviest at 185g
Battery
Being unreleased, we have yet to have any battery comparisons for the
Nokia Lumia 920, but with only a dual core processor, and a 2000mAh
battery, we'd be surprised if it wasn't very competitive.
