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...

920 or 808, 11 Dec 2012Okay, I am torn between these two Nokia devices. Firstl... moreYou compare two phone and say one is ugly and out dated, other one is beautiful and eligent. And you say one has best camera of all phones and other one takes photos better than 90% of smart phones. I think you have simple decision to make there.

    920 or 808, 11 Dec 2012Okay, I am torn between these two Nokia devices. Firstl... moreGo with the 920. The 808 is 'only' useful for the camera and is a very niche market. The 920 will be a piece of hardware that will be useful in all aspects of your life for many years to come. All-in-all the 920 is a much more effective investment.

                      Okay, I am torn between these two Nokia devices.

                      Firstly, the Pureview 808 is regarded as the best camera phone at this point of time bar none. Its downfall is the defunct Symbian Belle OS apart from the small low-resolution screen. However, the camera remains as the strength of the 808.

                      Now, the 920. It has a nice high-resolution IPS screen which is not only beautiful but also significantly larger than the 808. The overall form of the 920 is sleeker and much nicer than the bulky and awkward looking 808. The camera. Now I have read contradictory comments on the performance of the camera between 920 vs 808. The 808 may take slightly better pictures than the 920, but the 920 takes better pictures than 90% of the top smartphones out there.

                      Now, if given a choice, which would you choose, the 920 or the 808? I know the choice will depend on the priorities of the user, but which is a better buy? I like the shape and form of the 920 more than the 808 but don't know if I should just consider the latter due to the superior 41MP camera with larger 1/1.2" sensor. The screen of the 808 is not only small but in low resolution, and web browsing is totally useless on this thing. I can use Joikuspot on the 808 and perform web browsing on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 tablet worse comes to worst.

                      Please help guys!! The beautiful and functional 920 or the ugly and outdated 808 with slightly(or considerably) superior camera performance.

                              Nokia lumia 920 seems to be sold out on day 1 when it released on the 3 telcom. Is the demand for this phone that high?
