Nokia Lumia 920 review: The Luminary

04 December 2012
Not the best of times then for the Finns, but the right time for a flagship to show its worth. Saying that the future of the company is being decided here is probably too much. But the Lumia 920 could be the difference between living with dignity and scratching a living on emerging markets...

Reading the long waiting review we conclude: Nokia 920 is not a smart phone for smart people it is merely a simple phone for simple people.

            AnonD-79514, 04 Dec 2012very very very disappointed! less camera! far less impressi... moreYou realy don't know your stuff man. The only real multitasking is owned by Symbian. Android multitasking sucks, big time. Also, the only system that supports that kind of camera is, guess who? Symbian! Your android will chach up in 10 years, if will it ever. So, talking about your things, they go straight to the 'godfather' of them all: symbian. The rest goes to wp. Simple.

                    n8 and 808 takes better pictures.

                    screen contrast ratio is average, for the size and weight the screen should be bigger.
                    using night mode, s3 managed to almost equal quality of the 920 at low light.

                    plus old cons, no swiftkey, swype, custom launchers, themes, and lack tons of apps like instagram flipboard and poweramp

                        i purchased my device the day it was release in South Africa, 16th November 2012, since then, the device has been in for repairs since. so much money and nokia isnt even swapping the device out. so much for customer care! there weeks and no phone. is it just me or does someone else have the same problems? the device freezes and burns up, switches off and cant switch back on and the list goes on and on! unhappy Nokia fan!

                                  Almost pre-order Lumia 920, but now I changed my mind, will buy iPhone 5.

                                  This time it's not even MS fault, it's Nokia who provides below par audio quality and battery life (compared to other flagships).

                                  It's understandable that WP is not that mature yet in term of apps; that's why Nokia should compensate that with ultimate hardware (screen, audio, camera, battery) that scores 'Excellent' in the test.

                                  My company was planning to build WP apps with hope that Lumia 920 would shine; now we'll drop the plan and focus to build iOS apps.

                                  Mr. Elop sure did a very good job in killing Nokia.
