Nokia 920

Karykzen has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

First I have to say, I went from an iPhone 3Gs to the Nokia 920 Windows phone. An issue I had at the beginning is that my XBox live account is my personal email and not a @live account. I could not download apps until I verified my email but no email was sent. It took me logging into the Windows 8 phone web page (same account but different from Xbox live web page) and clicking on "send email verification" before I could verify my account. Thank You user forums!

While not a negative, the phone is larger than I expected but it does fit in pockets. I'm use to the smaller iphone, so this will take time to get use to.

Even with a protective case, I am afraid to drop this phone. My iPhone 3Gs was dropped a lot and I never had any cracking. Just given the feel of this phone, I’m afraid it will crack if I drop it from some of the heights my old phone fell from.

The camera lens on the back is too low for me. My finger sits right on it when I hold it in my palm, so I am constantly wiping my finger’s oil off of it.

My only issue about some of the apps is going backwards. I have a few where after I post a message I have to go backwards though it all to get back to the home screen.

I also miss being able to swipe my finger to the right over an email to delete it.

Battery - my only complaint here is that there is no permanent icon that shows up on the main home screen until the batter gets low.

The Good things:
The people app integrates with facebook nicely without the facebook...

The Good things:
The people app integrates with facebook nicely without the facebook app. I have not tried to see if it will go the same with Google+.

I also found most apps from my iPhone are available on the Windows Store.

The software download that occurred when I first plugged it into my PC (running Windows 7) went smoothly and the interface for music, videos, and photos from iTunes that comes up automatically is a not brainer to use.

Not having an iPad or other tablet, I am excited to try the office feature on the phone out. I am hoping some of my work files will open seamlessly should I need to pull them up in meetings, etc.

Overall, I do like the new phone. It was not as intuitive as my iPhone, but I also was bored with that phone and annoyed that with each software upgrade, it ran slower and slower. I wanted to try something new and since we use office at work, I wanted to see how well a windows phone will integrate. I can’t say which phone is best. I have friends on the Iphone, Andriod Phones, Windows phones, pre-paid phones, etc. The Nokia 920 Windows phone has a great display, works well, runs fast. I think some of the minor issues will be worked out in new apps and future software upgrades.

Build quality 8/10 Even with a case, I'm afarid if it drops it will shatter.

Reception 7/10 While AT&T have great coverage in large populated areas, the is little or no reception in more rural areas.

Call quality 10/10

Internet 8/10 A few of the web pages I have gone too load slow even on wi-fi

Multimedia 10/10

Camera 9/10 Better than my Iphone 3Gs

UI speed 9/10

Everyday usage 9/10 So far it fits the needs I use it for. Haven't explored it all so have to cap this at a 9.

Text input 7/10 Haveing the "return" button under the back space is horrbile for me. Some of the more common puntuation marks require two selects to get to.

Display 10/10

Battery 7/10 Have not used it long enough to determine my average life, but NOT having an icon present at all times on the home page is very anoying.

Pros

• Camera
• Call quality better than iPhone
• Office integration
• Can use Xbox Game app to type messages vs. using hand controler
• Being abble to pin apps, photos, etc.

Cons

• No MicroSD slot
• Big but it does fit in a dress shirt pocket
• For SOME apps, no home option, that is you have to back up though all the stuff (home phone's home page)
• Would expect web pages to load faster than their do.

Does everything I expect of a smartphone and does it well. The only minus are the hilariously poor earphones. The only comfort is that most other phones come with equally terrible buds.
Strangely, the GMail client is much better than that on Android, at least when using Google Apps for Businesses. This, of course, is inherent with Windows Phone 8.

The best phone i have ever owned.

Credo has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

Absolutely the best Phone i have ever owned, build quality is so much better than the Nokia Lumia 900, my previous phone.
The camera is awesome, never had taken so great pictures (daylight-nighttime).
The speaker is also very good, very loud, clear!

Build quality 10/10 Amazing!

Reception 10/10 I never lost signal!

Call quality 10/10 amazing, always clear sound!

Internet 10/10 with Internet Explorer 10 you don't need anything else!

Multimedia 10/10 Love the picture's, music and video's hub, so beautifull!

Camera 10/10 Best camera on a smartphone! daylight photo's are amazing, aswell as nighttime foto's, simply amazing!

UI speed 10/10 never laggs, everything is so fast!

Everyday usage 10/10 i love it to hold this phone in my hands, i even love it more to use it just becouse i cannot take my hands of it!

Text input 10/10 strange but typing is much easyer on the 920 than on the 900, i guess this is personal..

Display 10/10 compared to my Lumia 900 with amoled, this screen does look more dissapointed, but when you really look good, you will see that the colors are more natural than the 'toys' amoled screen, love the 300+ ppi.

Battery 10/10 very good battery, last's for more than 14 hours, even with more than moderate usage.

Pros

• Camera
• Screen (sensitivity and quality)
• Wireless charging (very cool)
• Design and buildquality

Phone is a beast, period.

david90531 has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

First off: Liked Windows Phone 7, LOVE Windows Phone 8. Really great improvements and new features, I feel like using a brand new system. And then the phone itself, c'mon it's Nokia, love the innovations that it brings, the design, and of course, the camera. Simply the best phone/smartphone I've owned. Using it since November and it still feels like a new phone to me every day.
Make the #switch before it's too late!

Build quality 9/10 Few little problems that people mention all the time: the vibration rattle and the FF camera collecting dust. Doesn't bother me much though

Reception 10/10

Call quality 10/10

Internet 10/10

Multimedia 10/10

Camera 10/10 I would give 20 if I could

UI speed 10/10 Main thing about Android is its unstable fluidity and often-time hiccups and restarts. WP8 is so smooth and everything just flows perfectly, plus MS makes an effort to make it better with each update

Everyday usage 10/10

Text input 10/10

Display 9/10 Display is great but definitely not best of the bunch, that I can admit.

Battery 8/10 I think any smartphone these days would get a score like this. Usually I'm able to last through the whole day but if I watch shows and news on the bus then it's a different story. With texting, emails, notes, and music it has pretty damn good battery life

Pros

• Beautiful, unique design
• WP8 OS highly reliable and stable
• Exclusive apps and games from both WP and Nokia
• Wireless charging, NFC capable
• XBox games and achievements
• Beastly camera

Cons

• It so heavy my hand hurts :(
• It so big I can't handle it :(
• Not enough apps I only have 300+ apps installed so far, need more :(
• The phone gets so hot it burns my hand :(
• Hint: Search "sarcasm" on Dictionary.com

Nokia Lumia 920

jamov has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

Nokia has done great job with Lumia 920. WP8 is fresh and speedy UI, I like it lot. Free navigation is usefull. Skydrive is nicely integrated in UI and has lot of free space (7GB).
In everyday use Lumia 920 does the job very well and WP8 has it's benefits in many things. It's easy to use and have allready quite good access to configuration.

Build quality 9/10 Heavy, but solid and easy to handle.

Reception 9/10

Call quality 9/10 Call quality very good, but WP volume control should be better.

Internet 9/10 Do the job very well. Not the fastest on the market, but no lacks I thought.

Multimedia 8/10 You can live with it, but could be better. Maybe better videopalyer with Xvid support.

Camera 10/10 Exellent camera. I have read many camera compares, they all haven't been good for Lumia 920. But my oponion is, that camera is one of the best on the cameraphonemarket.

UI speed 9/10 No lacks.

Everyday usage 9/10 Some things could be better, but usually i'm happy with it.

Text input 10/10 Works with me.

Display 9/10 Nice, but Samsung, Sony and HTC have left Nokia behind with there Full HD -displays.

Battery 8/10 Could be better. I'm not really satisfied with it. It remains well 1 day hard use or 2 days light use.

Pros

• Camera, call quality, everyday use,

Cons

• Heavy, big, no HDMI output, no microSD slot

Not bad for my first WP8

mr2009 has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

i always know that nokia will never let me down and with this L920, it sure doesnt. Build quality is one of the best. call reception and quality is fantastic. night shot is superb quality. i mean as working adult the only time we have fun is at night time or weekend. at night this phone camera will never fail to capture that awesome moment into a picture. although a lot of people says that the phone is heavy at 185grams, ill say bulls**t. the moment i hold it i love it as i can feel the weight is perfectly distributed across the phone. and seriously the weight is not that noticeable unless you have super weak hands that cant carry things above 150grams. if you do then please sign up as a disable person cause obviously you arms and hands is dead. nokia own baked apps is without a doubt make it better than the rest of the WP8 phones. free navigations, city lens, free maps, transits works flawlessly... overall i think this is a great phone for a WP8. totally recommended to everyone that want to test new os other than apple or androids.

Build quality 9/10 Its nokia.... not samsung.... that explain a lot.... and best part is if it scratches on the body, you can use fine grit sandpaper to sand of the scratches....how awesome is that?

Reception 10/10 no problem with calls and 3g... everything works...

Call quality 9/10 really good....

Internet 8/10 surprisingly internet explorer 10 in L920 pretty good unlike its desktop version.... everything render ok... only on those flash based website will not display correctly.... only hope is more website start supporting html5 asap...

Multimedia 7/10 music works flawlessly.... only problem would be videos.... currently only support certain mp4,avi and wmv files... cant support subtitles files... but it do supprt 1080p videos... plays perfectly... hopefully vlc come out soon with their apps for WP8...

Camera 8/10 night shot and video recording is where this phone stands out from the competition.... guess no need to talked about this.... problem i would say is the questionable daylight shot... some come out good some come out excellent while sometimes not so great.... depends on your skill i guess....oh and Proshot is awesome... Best Camera App for this phone...

UI speed 10/10 fast and intuitive.... excellente...

Everyday usage 9/10 using everyday now.... no problem at all... email fb skype all integrated into the os itself.... awesome... i dont whatsapp much because i use line and wechat which i found to be better supported in wp8 than whatsapp.... so its all good...

Text input 10/10 big screen... autocorrect is amazing....

Display 10/10 bright, vibrant and can use it with gloves.... what more can i ask?

Battery 9/10 excellent.... able to use up to 2 days without charging.... average of 1-2days.... im not heavy gamer btw...

Pros

• excellent build quality.... really...seriously...
• awesome night shot and video recording with the built in OIS
• fresh os compared to android and iOS
• Live Tiles!!!
• Super Sensitive Touch Screen... Gloves is not a problem
• Nokia apps that blows other maker out of the competitions
• fast updates from nokia for bug fix and improvement
• Wireless Charging
• Find the Phone option pretty good incase the phone is lost

Cons

• not so good backup option as games data not saved with the skydrive backup
• apps update not really updated fast via marketplace. sometimes need to wait for a day or two to actually see there is an update via the notification in the marketplace icon.
• official facebook always revert back to top page everytime it refreshes. use alternative facebook instead
• video playback support limited file type

The best Nokia phone in a long time and one of the best of 2012 if not the best .

NokiaFTW has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

My father uses this phone , so my review is gonna be based on what i've seen .The Lumia 920 is arguabaly the best Nokia phone of all time . From its built quality , the camera , the stunning display to the smooth and visually appealing WP 8 UI , the phone is a winner . You really have to hold one in your hand to experience the greatness that is the Lumia 920 .

Build quality 10/10 Like most Nokia's before it , the built quality is top notch with Lumia 920 .It is a little bit heavy but it reminds me of the indestructable Nokia 3310 . Plus , with choice of a variety of flashy colors , the design and built quality is probably the best of 2012 .

Reception 9/10 Reception is great . My father uses this is on a 3G network and he never complaint of any dropped calls or network .

Call quality 10/10 Like all Nokias , the call quality is great with the Lumia 920 .

Internet 10/10 With support for 4G LTE , and the smooth and fluid IE 10 with WP8 , the internet browsing experience is just fantastic .

Multimedia 10/10 The speakers are one of the best i've ever heard on any smartphone . This allows for a great music experience , and with the great music streaming service from Nokia , the music listening experience is great . The video watching experience is also great thanks the sharp display a.d games also play & look great .

Camera 10/10 The camera is the one of the best of not the best i've used in a long time . Some awesome low-light shots and fluid and great looking 1080p videos just make the camera one of the best out there . The front camera though is not the best i've seen . And with the Portico update , the outdoor shots are also fantastic looking .

UI speed 10/10 With Windows Phone 8 being as fluid and responsiveness s the previous versions of WP , and a dual-core processor , the phone fly's through everything from normal system tasks and intensive gaming , there is not lag or stutter that I have noticed .

Everyday usage 9/10 Windows Phone 8 is a great OS . In some ways , its even better than Android and iOS . Its fast , dynamic looking , and easy to use . The only thing I would like to see is a better notifications system like a notifications panel or something . The no. of apps in the marketplace is a lil' bit disappointing . But that will grow with time .

Text input 10/10 The WP keyboard is great , spacious and fast . And I just love the sound of the keys .

Display 10/10 The display is great . Its not very big , nor very small . Its the perfect size . And its really very sharp and crisp . And with Gorilla Glass , I tried to scratch with a key (don't tell my father ;) ) , it didn't scratch one bit. And also great outdoor visibility . And the best part is that I can use with gloves on , which is great .

Battery 9/10 Great battery life . My easily got close to a day of heavy usage on 3G which is great , but I just wish that battery was not sealed and be easily accesable .

Pros

• Buttery smooth UI responsiveness and fast processor.
• More than enough amount of RAM (1 GB ) for smooth and easy multi-tasking.
• Great looking UI with Windows Phone 8
• Fantastic camera and great low-light performance .
• Sturdy and excellent built quality .
• Crisp and sharp looking display with vivid and bright looking colors .
• Quite affordable high end phone if compared to some other flagship phones .
• Wireless charging .
• NFC for easy content sharing .
• Novel and great Nokia add-on apps like Nokia Maps , Nokia Music , Smart Shoot , Nokia Drive & Nokia City Lens .

Cons

• A little bit heavy and somewhat bulky .

It just gets better with time

sabity has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

I bought this phone right after it became available in November last year. In the beginning there were some minor issues with it (syncing with my accounts didn’t work, battery life was poor). I never returned the phone, but somehow after a month I stopped experiencing any of these problems. It also took me some time to figure out how to use the Windows operating system. But now, having used it over three months, I really got to like it. It is as fast and responsive as on the first day. The camera is great, and no other phone comes close to it. I also bought a JBL PowerUp speaker, and enjoy the advantages of NFC and Wireless charging. The fact that it uploads automatically my pictures to skydrive is great. I never need to transfer pics again to my laptop, since they are already there when I switch it on. The windows store is also growing, and I don’t have an app which I would miss. As time passed, I started to love this phone more and more, and today I can recommend it without any reservation.

Build quality 9/10 Build quality is great, but since dust can easily get behind the front facing camera, it is not perfect.

Reception 10/10 I never had issues with reception.

Call quality 10/10

Internet 10/10 Connectivity is just perfect. I really like how fluidly it changes between my WiFi and cellular data.

Multimedia 10/10 Works great.

Camera 10/10 No need to mention it again. Its just outstanding.

UI speed 10/10 Its like Ferrari ;)

Everyday usage 10/10 The only time I feel that the phone is heavy, is when I am laying in my bad and try to surf the net. After a while my hands get really tired of holding my phone. But in daily use I never felt its weight to be a problem.

Text input 10/10

Display 10/10

Battery 10/10 Battery always depends on the staff you do with your phone. I realized that when playing games that pull down advertisements, the battery gets drained very fast. But, if you do other staff, like makeing phone calls, listening to music, reading online articles, taking some pictures on the way, the battery will get you through the day.

Pros

• Fast and fluid OS
• Best camera (video especially good)
• Very good microphone
• Perfect integration of maps, navigation, transport data
• Outstanding design
• Wireless charging

Cons

• Dust under FFC
• Sometimes overheats

You will never regret buying the Lumia 920.

Alexander_K has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

I am a proud owner of a Lumia 920. I'm extremely happy with the choice I've made. To buy a windows phone may seem like a bet but it was totally worth the risk. Windows Phone 8 is great, fast and responsive. The app selection number is growing fast and personally I found every app I've used before in the Windows Store. Some reviewers wine about the weight of the phone but in reality it's not that heavy at all, I mean you don't need big muscles to lift it off the table. If you're thinking about buying a windows phone Nokia is definitely the way to go, because they put much more effort into it compared to HTC or Samsung.

Build quality 10/10 I've got the black matte version and it's just so smooth and sturdy.

Reception 10/10 I've never had any dropped calls.

Call quality 10/10

Internet 10/10

Multimedia 10/10

Camera 10/10 The low-light shots are amazing. No other phone on the market can compete here.

UI speed 10/10 Windows Phone 8 is fast and responsive. No lag.

Everyday usage 10/10 I have fun using it everyday. Little things like new Bing locksreen wallpaper can make the phone look always fresh. I also like the change the accent color every now and then.

Text input 10/10 I've never typed faster in my life :D

Display 10/10 The display is amazing with very high pixel density.

Battery 10/10 The phone always gets me through the day and when I put it on the charger before bed I usually have at least 10-20% left. Note that I'm a heavy user. I go on Facebook, play games, listen to music a lot.

Pros

• Very fast dual core 1.5 GHz processor
• Lots of RAM (1 GB)
• Gorgeous high resolution screen (1280x768)
• 8.7 MP PureView camera for great low-light shot and optical image stabilazation
• NFC
• Wireless charging
• Windows Phone 8 is great.
• 32GB of internal storage (more than enough) and free 7 GB on Skydrive
• Best location based services - Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive, Nokia City Lens, Nokia Transport
• Other great Nokia apps - Nokia Music, Smart Shoot, Cinemagraph and many others

Cons

Pretty good phone

aaflack18 has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

I upgraded to this phone from my faithful Samsung Focus (had an issue with the power button getting itself stuck... Got tired of it doing that)
first thing I noticed was the difference in speed. Frickin thing just blew me how fast and fluid everything is. Looked for an explanation for why the phone was so heavy. Wireless charging coils. Really? I just think that was unnecessary. I prefer to have my phone plugged in and charging.
Never was an app person, so this OS suited me best. I hope Nokia keeps putting out better phones. Write this review using my Nokia 920.

Build quality 8/10 Wireless coils in the phone added unnecessary weight. Inaccessible battery.

Reception 9/10

Call quality 8/10 I have a bad habit of not having the screen of the phone not touch my face and that for some reasons makes me inaudible to the person in trying to talk to.

Dissapointing !!!!

safi.2905 has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

I was eagerly waiting for this phone but after using it, it left me highly dissapointed!
No doubt the user interface is somewhat refreshing with live tiles and i din feel there was any shortage of apps as most of the commonly used apps were present.
But one thing problem which i encountered from almost day one was FREEZING of the Phone. The interface kept on hanging every now or then i had to reboot the device atleast three to four times a day. I took it to #Nokia but they said there is a software issue to whichi when asked how to fix it they had no answer!! a very apalling way to handle a customes complaint. and then i dont know what so hue and cry about the camera.. i found it OK nothing too astonishing or ground breaking. But the problem of freezing is something to look into coz one of my friend also encountered the same problem to which again #Nokia people denied to acknowledge. SHamefull!!

Dont know why ppl say this phone as bulky nd heavy, its comfortable to hold than the thinner iphone and also better build quality.The camera with optical stabilization is awsome unlike the fake digital gimmicks in other phones .Wireless charging is also there.So these all may be the reason for its thicker body .Without knowing all these ppl starts bashing this beautiful phone.

Potentially great phone undone by abysmal battery life

gilbilly has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

I am writing this review today to express my dissatisfaction with the Lumia 920. I have purchased this device on two occasions and both times I have encountered the same issue. The first time I purchased it was second hand and it was one of the first few released in Canada (came factory unlocked and all). Although the camera was amazing, the build was excellent and the exclusive apps were fantastic (Nokia Maps and Drive to be precise) the battery life was abysmal. Despite multiple factory resets and even attempting to run it without additional apps I could get only 6 hours of usage on average which is unacceptable. I quickly sold it on Kijiji. After a few days I had convinced myself that it must have been just pre-release model glitches (I had owned a #Lumia800 previously and had no such issues). Being without a phone and unable to get my hands on an actual release model from Rogers, I ended up going with a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (and have been very satisfied with it). Up until the Lumia line I have been an Android user for the last few years now and am accustom to 12-15 hours at least. Before Android came out I was a windows mobile user having owned numerous models but my first ever phone was a Nokia 3300. At the time this the 3300 was to me such an innovative phone, stylish, different and one of the first phones to support MP3 playback. It was my fond memories of my 3300 that prompted me to try the Lumia 800 and eventually the 920 a second time because to me they embodied those...

It was my fond memories of my 3300 that prompted me to try the Lumia 800 and eventually the 920 a second time because to me they embodied those same qualities. I purchased my second Lumia 920 on Wednesday the 16th and returned it the next evening. Once again I could get no more than 6 hrs of battery life. I am aware of the battery saving option in the phone and despite not believing that one should essentially cripple their device to get functional use, I attempted using the phone with it on and gained possibly an hour. I am now happily using my Galaxy Note 2 and getting on average 20 hrs of use out of it. Although I would not expect such use out of the Lumia 920 considering the battery size difference, I would expect at least the 12-15 hours of battery life phones in it's league manage.

This experience has tainted my opinion of the Nokia Lumia line and will likely affect my opinion in choosing my future smartphone.

It is with all sincerity that I write this in the hopes that Nokia takes this kind of feedback seriously and will make the necessary changes in their future iterations of the Lumia line as it currently is not a phone I could recommend.
