Nokia Lumia 920 Review

What is the Nokia Lumia 920?


The Nokia Lumia 920 is technically one of the a lot of agitative phones accessible but it has been supersceded by the Nokia Lumia 1020. Not abandoned does it accept appearance like an optically stabilised camera for blur-free night time shots and built-in wireless charging to do abroad with annoying cables but it aswell has the growing in adequacy Microsoft Windows Buzz 8 operating adjustment that's been absorbed with a host of Nokia extras. However a smartphone isn't about any individual affection but the accessory as a whole, so how does the Lumia 920 fare?

Nokia Lumia 920 - Design

Nokia has consistently had a appealing acceptable eye for architecture and that was no added in affirmation than on the company's endure flagship buzz the Nokia Lumia 800, which we anticipation the best searching buzz of its time. Actuality again the aggregation has artlessly taken that aforementioned architecture and fabricated it a bit bigger.

The accomplished buzz is hewn from one section of polycarbonate artificial into which is set the hardly arced screen. To accumulate the accomplished affair searching as seamless as accessible all the ports and slots are kept in the collapsed ends, with just the buttons ranged up the appropriate edge. The ceaseless aftereffect it creates gives the buzz a affably exceptional feel, decidedly acknowledgment to the superior of artificial acclimated – the colour is in the artificial so doesn’t blemish off like acrylic does.


However, what's beneath absorbing is Nokia's best of finishes. On the Lumia 800, all the colour options were accessible in a matt accomplishment which looked and acquainted great. Here, though, all but the atramentous archetypal use a bright finish. Not abandoned will this attending worse if it accordingly begins to aces up scratches but it's aswell added slippery, sliding off laps and the accoutrements of sofas about as readily as the bottle backed iPhone 4S. Plus, it doesn't bisected appearance up fingerprints. Thankfully Nokia is still alms the Lumia 920 in a matt atramentous adaptation which looks superb and isn't as slippery.


Then there's the weight of the thing. Somehow Nokia has managed to accomplish what is far from the better buzz on the bazaar one of the heaviest. Coming in at 185g, this 4.5in buzz is added than the astronomic 5.5in Samsung Galaxy Note 2. We've asked Nokia just why it is the buzz weighs so abundant but the aggregation hasn't yet appear aback with annihilation specific, adage it's a aggregate of factors. It seems acceptable that it's the optically stabilised camera that is the capital culprit, though.

With ambit of 130.3 x 70.8 x 10.7 mm, it's not absolutely the slimmest handset either.

All that said, we don't acquisition the admeasurement or weight too abundant of a botheration and in fact like the all-embracing feel of the device. The arced abandon and aback beggarly the buzz fits snugly in the duke and it’s far from so abundant that it's uncomfortable.

The adjustment of buttons is aswell excellent. As the buzz uses Windows Buzz 8 the action of the buttons is identical to all added Windows Buzz 8 handsets but actuality they're able-bodied positioned and simple to operate. Down the appropriate bend are the volume, ability and camera buttons while beneath the awning are blow acute buttons for Back, Start and Search.

The blow acute buttons are nice and acknowledging but it's the ancillary army ones that absolutely accomplish it. They're able-bodied authentic so are simple to acquaint afar by feel alone, they're simple to columnist and the low accession of the ability button makes it simple to alleviate the buzz after accepting to use two calmly or drag your anchor around.


Taking a quick bout of the blow of the phone, up top is the microSIM tray - which ancestor out at the advance of a breach button - and the headphone jack forth with the additional microphone for babble cancelling if authoritative a call. Meanwhile on the basal is the primary microphone, the apostle and the microUSB atrium for accepted charging and abutting to a computer. Plus, of advance there's the capital camera on the aback and a foreground adverse one aloft the screen. All appealing accepted stuff.

However, what is missing is a microSD slot, acceptation there's no way to advancement the phone's storage. Thankfully you can get this handset with up to 32GB of congenital in storage, which should be abundant for a lot of people.


Also, after a readily disposable backplate, you can't calmly bandy out the battery. Again, it's apparently not an affair for a lot of humans day to day but both the closing credibility are key affidavit why the Samsung Galaxy S4 charcoal such a accepted handset – abounding would rather accept the advantage than not.
