Worst comparison....! Know all the features then compare...!
30. Nathan_ingx posted on 05 Sep 2012, 12:23 5 5
You speak too soon! Android is heavier than Windows, so the devices needs a more sturdy hardware. I am sure the given specifications on the new 920 and 820 will handle the systems quite efficiently.
To be frank, this comparison is not fair...compare Windows phone with a Windows rival, Android with an Android and iOS with...oops...:D
But jokes apart, i would like comparisons that way...it's more fair.
For instance, compare ATIV and 920. The only area where ATIV scores is the screen size...so in a way, ATIV was really a warm up act.
HAIL THE NEW LUMIAS!!!

Once you've really used a HTC One X and experienced Sense 4.0 you'll see why slight differences in the numbers really don't make the SG3 the best android on the market. Besides, the Lumia has the best specs. That doesn't make it the best device to own in this comparison.

"as there is a sealed battery and no microSD slot, but the Lumia 920 comes with the generous 32GB of internal memory, and SkyDrive allows you to sync directly with its 7GB after capturing a shot, for example."
But in the specs sheet you've shown:
Storage expansion microSD, microSDHC up to 32 GB
I don't get it, so what's the real thing? With or without storage expansion?

I think its up to 32 GB. And you are right about Nokia having 32 GB internal storage. I cant wait to see how nice the screen looks since its LCD and not Amoled display. Nokia has a great phone for starters and soon they will have even better phones to come. Fall and Winter seasons are looking good. I hope all carriers get them!

Agree. PA please at least get the same data across your comparisons. Some of the data here differs from the other comparison with ativ s. So what data is correct?

They never mentioned it but I noticed LTE on the signal bar of Joe Belfiore's Lumia 920 during the press conference so it's supported or should be.

29. mobilefuture posted on 05 Sep 2012, 12:20 1 2
what are you guys, babies? oh so its 20g or 30 g bigger, it's gonna make a hole in your pocket?! Man up!

I am sure 8mp will deliver .. But it won't come any closer to the 41mp .. This was the only special feature Nokia had so that it could compete with androids and ios .. But they have lost it ..
Nokia should give something very very special that would make users switch from android to WP .. Nokia had the pureview but it didn't use it ..
I know it would have made the phone thick and heavy .. But they could have added another Lumia pureview with 21mp with simple design .. It would have given the user choices ..

The phone is already heavy compared to the others. The phone is great and Nokia will release something even better the next time around. It does come with the pureview technology, just at a lower pixel count which is still better than any other cell phone camera to date. I cant wait to see it in person.

The phone doesn't use the oversampling technology which Nokia called Pureview .. but now they have changed the meaning of the brand name Pureview itself ..
Anyway i hope that this phone's camera is at least ahead of all the other phones ..

Where are the all the new Nokia lumia 920's features?

Isn't the Lumia 920 a WXGA device with 1280 x 768 of resolution?
22. Evil_SaNz posted on 05 Sep 2012, 11:41 0 0
No doubt it will be good for calls (Nokia has experience for that) and for photos. This said, will be even more locked than iOS probably. The lack of expandable slot is hackable on Android devices (you can connect Mass storage devices), on the 920 you're trapped. I'm afraid that WP8 will be somekind of bottleneck, still. I'd be thrilled to try one, but probably I'd find some cool features and many closed possibilities. (for example, you can't zip a file and share it via bluetooth or even hack the bluetooth frequency and connect a PS3 controller - like on Android)
Need to see how the S4 performs on the 920, the 900 browser wise was 4 times slower than the S3.
I prefer to have a portable device with pc potential, not just a smartphone locked on rails.
But hey, even latins said Degustibus non est disputandum (there's no accounting for tastes)

I might snag a Lumia 920 if it comes to T-Mobile. Mainly because after a month of not selling well it will drop in price like a rock in a pond.
