Nokia Lumia 920 vs Samsung ATIV S vs Nokia Lumia 820 vs Lumia 900: spec comparison

Agreed. But I do think that it is a mistake to not have microSD expand-ability.

Besides movies, what would anyone actually do with 32GB+ on a phone? I don't know about anyone else, but I simply cannot stare at my phone for 2 hours watching a movie. Moreover, the battery never lasts that long even with a full charge so I've never really seen the value in having even 16GB on my phone. My tablet and PC yes, but not on my phone.

Expandable memory is really only important on tablets, unless there's less than 16 GB of memory on board.

Agree, but music is a data space hog, so I would say 32GB is necessary for me to care less about the phone not offering expandable memory. Just take a look at how much storage your consuming on you phone now and you'll have an idea of the amount you need. Regardless, this phone offering 32GB will suffice for 99% of us.

Please, what phone do you use?
You clearly have no idea how it is to watch on 4.5+ inch of hd goodness in your hands.

For example, my sister uses MacBook for watching movies yet she watched a few episodes of her favorite show on my phone and was thrilled with the experience..wanted to bring it with her so she can watch the entire series on it!

Personally I would like to have all of my music and pictures synced to my phone... IMO the phones have taken over the function that used to be Ipod / Zune, so they should have expandable memory so if I want, I can jack it up to 64 gig to store all of my content...

To me that is the only short coming here... but I like what I see... and if Sprint would get off their backside, I would buy one of these as soon as they come out!

Music. My 64Gb iPhone 4S isn't quite large enough to store my entire music collection, so I have to pare it down. I'd like to be able to have everything.

If MS has decent integration with their cloud drive stuff, and good prices for online storage, this could be moot.

I don't know about you guys but I save all my pictures and videos to external SD. It would be a real pain to transfer all that data instead of simply poping in the SD card. Wonder why they gave the lumia 820 a slot but not the 920 which is supposed to be a flagship device

I agree as well but I would like to know which display is better. Nokia 920 LCD or Samsung Amoled. I know Nokia uses amoled as well but the 920 is LCD.

26. neutralguy posted on 05 Sep 2012, 11:36 1 0

the difference is that amoled produces better "black" because it turns that particular pixel off. While LCD have backlights.

58. RomeoJDR posted on 07 Sep 2012, 08:10 0 0

Each has their pluses and minuses. AMOLED offers for vivid colors, LCD will have more accurate colors. The display on the Lumnia 900 I checked out at the store was fantastic and I think I read an article a while back talking about some unique black technology it has. I can only assume the display on the 920 will be at least on par with all the other HD screens.

Are you blind?? Loot at Samsung ATIV S specs.. Samsung is best in only one Win 8 flagship.. FTW ATIV is best..

34. neutralguy posted on 05 Sep 2012, 12:05 5 3

so, are you blind too? have you seen the lumia 920's spec? Aren't they almost identical? The only thing ativ s' upside was having a bigger battery and microSD slot.

53. ab2412 posted on 06 Sep 2012, 02:02 0 0

Ya bro.. LUMIA also is brick like heavy 180G.. OMG.. NOKIA phone says "If you don't like my phone, then use me as a BRICK". And PLUS point for ATIV S are SUPER AMOLED HD, Micro Sd, Light Weight, Bigger Battery and what else you want from a phone?? And time will tell which is better MUMIA or ATIV S..

lets see how the ATIV S compares to the Lumia 920 in terms of Camera quality and outdoor visibility!

45. TDILL1021 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 16:19 0 0

also the 920 has much more features than the ATIV S. I also think the 920 looks a million times better.

49. Berzerk000 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:23 0 0

They're pretty much identical, except the Ativ has a bigger SA display... Nothing else. Same processor, same RAM, same OS, etc...

lets hope they all win together since the market to gain is outside WP they all gonna have good share among each other the reall challenge is other platforms

22. tekkie79 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 11:23 0 0

Agreed. The 920 is impressive, but if I cannot manipulate the phone with one hand it is not very usefull. I don't quite understand the facination with these huge screens.

50. redmd posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:24 0 0

This.

The only things different with WP devices are their displays, cameras, and designs... Nokia is best with cameras, displays are arguable, and designs are arguable, especially since Samsung used a metal backplate on the Ativ S instead of the usual plastic.

thicker but better!!! you can scratch but you can destroy the beauty!! while ativ S is a cheap aluminum! early prototype has scratches already! even N8's aluminum body is way better!!

just accept it, nokia make the toughest, sturdiest, and most beautiful phones!
