Nokia Lumia 920 Features
Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820

It is being sold reasonably well in USA and Europe, though not as much as Samsung’s Galaxy S3 or even Galaxy Note 2. There is no doubt that it is the finest handset available with the Microsoft software. The handset comes with many brilliant features. For the display, it has a 4.5-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen that packs 768 x 1280 pixels at 332ppi. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 2 technology for not enduring scratches in mild drops and others. It makes use of Nokia’s PureMotion HD+ and ClearBlack for higher clarity.

Key features of the Nokia Lumia 920 

  • a curved 4.5-inch PureMotion HD+ screen,
  • a dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 CPU with 1 GB RAM with Windows 8
  • 32 GB disk space and 7 GB storage in the cloud with SkyDrive for users.
Nokia also promises a bigger 2,000mAh battery which is expected to last 10 hours with 3G. The Lumia 920 has NFC, integrated wireless charging and an 8.7 megapixel rear PureView camera with HD video. The phone also has “Super Sensitive Touch,” which will let users handle their smartphone even while wearing gloves.

Lets look at the features in details :

Camera: Undoubtedly the best feature. Nokia Lumia 920 has a camera which really makes itself different from any other smart phone avilable in this range. This is significant given the importance of pictures in the mobile market. From Facebook’s Poke app to Instagram, smartphone users are using their phones heavily to take and share pictures.

The Nokia Lumia 920′s camera takes blur-free images even when it’s dark and there is no flash on.

Stabilization of Optical Image : Even while recording videos with a shaky hand, this feature was also pretty impressive. Comparing a video shot from the Lumia 920 to a video from an HTC 8X (another Windows 8 phone), one could clearly see the difference in the quality of recording. The stability of the video on the Nokia Lumia 920 is great.

The Smart Shoot feature is another aspect that deserves mention. It allows you to point the lens at one object while taking a photo and if other people tend to walk into the picture, you can edit them out. It’s worth noting that you don’t have to download any apps to use these features.

Cinemagraph : This is one feature of the Lumia 920 and 820 . Smartphones aren’t just about consuming, they are also about doing random, crazy stuff and this feature of the camera lets you do just that. Users can convert a picture into a GIF, by simply taking a still picture, and then animating parts of the image. This is seamless and integrated into your camera.

Microsoft Office : This is again a big positive feature in the smartphone. The fact that the app comes free and installed is good, especially for those who can’t give up Office. You can link it to SkyDrive and thus your other Word Documents as well. The fact that all features of Office from PowerPoint Presentation to Excel are available should make it appeal to those who constantly need access to their documents.

Typing is also easy, with the predictive text working admirably fast.

Photo Sharing : A comparatively negative feature. For example, while sharing a picture from the Nokia Lumia 920, via Bluetooth, the only share options visible are Messages and One Note. The phone that we were looking at may not have had all the apps installed but that fact that it only showed Bluetooth as a share option when Bluetooth was switched on, was frustrating.

In an Android, Bluetooth is always visible as a sharing option even if it is not on. One of the most prominent things on any Android or iOS device is the number of varied sharing options. The other part is that the share symbol is hardly prominent in Lumia devices. Hiding a symbol that a lot of people click on, almost as soon as they take a picture, is a big negative.

The Live Tiles : These are another feature that we’ve heard both Microsoft and Nokia go on and on about. The idea behind Live Tiles is that you can personalize them and both companies have been playing the “No more boring icons like Android and iOS” card. You can choose to make a particular tile big or small depending on how important it is to you. For instance, you can make WhatsApp very large and hide games if that’s what you want.

Except that this doesn't really work as well as you’d think it would. If you click on a tile, a pop-up appears which allows you to stretch the tile. By instinct, you would want to stretch the expand icon as much as you can. But the truth is that there are only three default sizes.

Changing the size of Live Tiles can be a bit confusing, especially if you’re an extensive mobile web user, used to clicking on a space in-order to expand it. Personally, the Live Tile feature is something you can live without and the cleaner icon look that’s available on Android and iOS is certainly preferable.

If you want to buy : Amazon is offering Lumia in affordable prices. Grab you Lumia 920 in cheapest price ever. You can also check Lumia 520 or Lumia 720. Prices are really cheap compared to any other online stores.

So is the phone worth it? In terms of offering something new, Nokia’s Lumia 920 does that as far as hardware is concerned. The camera is excellent. However no idea whether it would stand when comparing with recent upcoming android smart phones. What do you think guys?
