That's finally happened! After plenty of leaks, Microsoft and Nokia unveiled the Nokia Lumia 920 and Nokia Lumia 820 at simultaneous events in NEW YORK and FINLAND. Now what Nokia needs to get, is a hit. Nokia can get gradual business off its ASHA series and midlevel LUMIA series but eventually if Nokia wants to get thrive, the only answer come is sell, sell and sell. Nokia the next level Lumia Smartphone calls it " the most innovative phone from Nokia". Microsoft can reiterate most of their apps in upcoming OS windows 8 smartphones.
THE BUILD AND DESIGN:-
Lets get onto the design it's same polycarbonate as before used. But also comes with odd glossy glitter. If someone wants to get my opinion, I'll be honest. I don't like sheen skin phone.
It has got solid, and ceramic keys and plating, which are supposed to be more or less invulnerable to scratching. The signature bright colours are injection moulded into the polycarbonate, so shouldn’t fade with wear and tear. The Lumia 920 manages to be Technicolor without seeming like a toy, which is probably a fine line. Nokia’s R&D department apparently put it through rigorous tests, including dropping it, splashing it, and even putting sun tan lotion on it to see if the colours would be effected. The overall result is a solid feeling build that feels like it could take a knock or two.
THE SCREEN:-
Thanks to new techniques the 920 features a curved 4.5-inch high definition screen.It features Nokia Pure Motion HD Plus – tech that is designed to enhance clarity in stills and video.Nokia claims it is the fastest LCD display ever shipped on a smartphone- and that it’s 25% brighter than rival smartphones.
4.5-inch Nokia PureMotion HD Plus display, which features a WXGA resolution (1,280x768 pixels), a slightly higher resolution than the standard HD (1,280x720 pixels). It has also a fast refresh rate that removes flickers. Nokia also claims it's brighter than rival phones.
The part of the screen that excites me most is the screen's new ClearBlack display filter, which uses polarization to cut down on glare. Nokia says its new, improved ClearBlack is good enough to read in the desert or on the beach.
It uses Nokia's PureMotion HD Plus technology to make it 'better than HD', according to the Finns' Jo Harlow. It's actually just HD in reality, but it does sparkle when viewing media.
CAMERA:-
The Lumia 920's 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, it claims, is the best on the market. The "floating lens" that autofocuses and corrects for shaking certainly sounds great, but after a softer, less impressive Lumia 900 camera with Carl Zeiss optics, I'm slightly skeptical for now.
The Lumia 920 has an F/2.0 aperture and uses image stabilization and tiny springs to get that "floating" camera lens to hold the image steady. What is clear is that Nokia faces tough camera competition from Apple and Samsung.
FEATURES:-
Nokia made a very big stick indeed of the imaging capabilities. At the core of this is the PureView system.The PureView system essentially means the camera components ‘float’ on tiny little springs. The optical assembly should therefore stay somewhat steady if the phone is being jiggled around.
The main upshot of this is that the lens can be open for longer with reduced risk of blurring, which means images and videos should benefit from enhanced brightness and clarity. The images were, combined with the HD display, certainly looked good. A decent camera similar to that seen on the Nokia 808 PureView, and Carl Zeiss optics do the ground work.
As much a part of Windows Phone 8, new lens applications can be utilised before or after you snap, such as FX Suite. I was shown a number of nifty filters and apps (such as Photo Synth, which produces a panoramic view which you can slide across to see more), which along with that powerful camera bolster this as a phone with imaging at its heart.
Probably the other most interesting thing about the phone is the built-in wireless charging. I was demonstrated it sitting on a ‘Fatboy Recharge Pillow’. This is likely to be an increasingly important trend in the future, and Nokia seems well placed with a seemingly hassle free approach.
The firm has also struck a number of deals with businesses, such as Virgin Atlantic and some US café chains, which will see the installation of wireless recharge plates for when you’re out of the house.
The interface of WP8 is well-documented – you can read our hands on:Windows Phone 8 review to get the full insight there – but it does look good on the large display.
There was minimal lag in the demonstration, with flipping between apps showing nothing in the way of slowdown. This is always helped by the overly-elaborate animations that greet each app movement, but it does remain slick in the eyes of the user.
Live tiles – a huge part of Windows Phone 8’s proposition – can be re-sized, moved and customised Also, bundled features such as maps and voice control have been given a tweaking for the new handset.
Nokia City Lens is a new feature - point it at the street and it will overlay info about businesses, restaurants and other bits of info. The 920 will also have offline maps ‘that work’, which will have augmented reality and will be linked with Nokia Drive. NFC, which was demonstrated on stage by tapping a speaker to make it play, is also on board.
The rest of the Nokia Lumia 920 is also interesting, featuring some alternative design options. For instance, there are micro-drilled holes at the top of the phone that function as a microphone (and the trick is repeated at the bottom for speakers) – plus the headphone jack is placed centrally for easier use in the pocket apparently.
A single slot gives access to the SIM card, and you'll need the familiar tool to get it out, which means hot swapping is out of the question. Talking of which, there's no option to plop a memory card in there either, which is infuriating.
There's plenty of talk about the fact that consumers don't really NEED microSD card slots from the big manufacturers – after all, it does make designing the unibody handsets so much easier.
WIRELESS CHARGING AND BATTERY AND PROCESSOR:-
A big reveal is the Lumia 920's built-in wireless charging, which uses the Qi standard to let you drop your device onto any compatible wireless charger to top up your phone. Nokia has signed deals with Virgin Atlantic and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf to start placing wireless charging stations all around.
The 920 has a 2,000mAh battery, which Nokia says is enough to get most people through an average day. The snapdragon S4 processor is also supposed to help with battery efficiency, ‘as opposed to quad core alternatives’. This was a smart move, especially since LTE is already integrated with the chipset, and I'm expecting blazing-fast responsiveness alongside quick data speeds.
