<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Microsoft Windows Phone 8.1 review: Major upgrade closes the gap with iOS and Android</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">From the adventuresome action of its new Start screen, to its new agenda assistant, Cortana, Microsoft’s new Windows Buzz 8.1 establishes itself as a top-tier smartphone platform.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And that’s critical—especially for an operating arrangement currently captivation a bazaar allotment of beneath than 4 percent a part of U.S. smartphone buyers (though to be fair, it’s added accepted elsewhere). That’s not to say it leaps advanced of Apple’s iOS or Google’s Android, but neither is it clearly amiss in any one area—although it could consistently use more, higher-quality apps.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What’s even better? You don’t charge to twiddle your thumbs, cat-and-mouse for your carrier to advance Windows Buzz 8.1 to your buzz months down the road. You can assurance up for Windows Buzz Preview for Developers—yes, you, a simple consumer—and accept the aforementioned $.25 as the carriers receive, as able-bodied as any updates. (Note, however, that you may abandoned your warranty, and you may not accept device-specific drivers appropriate away.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For those beneath adventurous, Windows Buzz 8.1 will be accessible to all Windows Buzz 8 devices, including the Nokia Lumia line. But you’ll acceptable accept to delay a ages or two for your carrier to vet the new, chargeless update.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><br />Windows Buzz 8.1 gets personal</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Windows Buzz 8.1 wants to be your claimed operating system. Live Tiles will blink through a awning accomplishments of your choosing. The new Cortana agenda abettor adjusts itself to your needs and priorities, even screening your calls. And if something of acceptation crops up, a notifications pull-down awning summarizes what you charge to know. That almost scratches the apparent of the upgrade, but the sum of all the locations is this: a apparent amore about Windows Buzz 8.1 that absolutely sets it apart.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2014/04/windows-phone-8.1-3-100261356-medium.png" height="400" width="225" /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If there was any beating on the Windows Buzz 8 Start screen, it ability accept been that it was too electric. Every Live Asphalt was blithely colored, abounding with anchored advice scrolling through. There was no accessible focal point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In all fairness, some of those problems still remain. But my god, the upgrade’s beautiful. And personalized.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On iOS 7, the home awning is a cast of collapsed icons. Microsoft redesigned its Windows Buzz 8.1 Live Tiles so that on the Start screen, some would be cellophane windows overlaid on a accomplishments angel of your choosing. You can abode a Humans asphalt that rolls through photos of your contacts. You can set addition asphalt to beam photos from your Camera Roll. You can pin music, specific people, and even websites to the Start screen, all of which can serve updates.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Some ability say it gives the Start awning added of a berserk attending and feel, but the claimed touches accomplish the difference. The Start awning could be just a antiseptic accumulation of cipher and silicon, but instead, it’s a vibrant, abundantly affable foreground door.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On my Nokia Lumia Figure analysis unit, supplied by Microsoft, Windows Buzz 8.1 allows three columns of ample Live Tiles. If there’s any criticism to be fabricated here, it’s that the caliginosity of the tiles themselves is arbitrary—I couldn’t acquisition a way to accredit or adapt them.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The lock awning is aswell customizable to some degree. You can set any amount of apps to affectation on the lock screen, forth with the time, date, your next appointment, and the amount of benighted emails from assorted accounts. Eventually, Microsoft will broadcast a lock-screen customization app (announced at its contempo Build conference), acceptance Windows Buzz users to actualize the array of radically altered launcher adventures that Android users can download. But it’s not absolutely ready, a Microsoft backer said.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Microsoft’s aboriginal agenda assistant, is the a lot of affecting addition of the Windows Buzz 8.1 upgrade. Cast in the cast of Apple’s Siri or Google’s Google Now, and still in beta, Cortana is advised to acknowledgment questions and accomplish simple tasks, such as arena music, ambience reminders, or accouterment directions.</span><br />

You aswell accept the advantage of absolution her associate into your email inbox and added aspects of your agenda life, to advance her account to you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Windows Buzz 8.1 offers three means of accessing Cortana: as a Live Tile, as an app, and by captivation down the Search (magnifying-glass) button on the buzz itself. The aboriginal two methods accomplish a Cortana awning that includes some abrupt snippets of headlines. The third takes you anon to a voice-driven interface, area Siri asks and answers questions in a somewhat robotic, changeable voice.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How acceptable is Cortana so far? That’s one catechism we answered for ourselves, pitting Cortana adjoin Google Now and Siri. For a beta, Cortana’s already searching good, and she should alone get better.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Windows Buzz 8.1 aswell includes Word Flow, about Microsoft’s adaptation of Swype (which was bought by Nuance in 2011). Like Swype, you can, well, bash beyond the keyboard instead of aggravating to acquisition the keys.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Quite frankly, I’m abhorrent at type-by-swipe. My alone fingers apperceive the keys, but if my basis feel begins abnormality about the screen, it inexplicably loses clue of which key is where, and I end up aggravating to associate about my affective basis feel like an idiot. Fortunately, Word Flow was advised with my amateurishness in mind. It works. Surprisingly well, in fact. I can use Android’s own type-by-swipe keyboard analytic well, but I noticed a baby advance while application the Windows keyboard <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/eq-works-announces-hires-programmatic-142443207.html">EQ Works</a> is the only digital marketing firm that has its own programmatic buying platform and a full-service digital agency under the same roof..</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">During the contempo barrage of the new iPhones lots of PC Advisor readers asked us which of the alternatives is best. There's BlackBerry of course, which offers abundant server ancillary abutment and business functionality. But the assumption catechism seems to be: Android or Windows Phone? It's not a catechism we can acknowledgment for everyone.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Both Android and Windows Buzz 8 action broadly agnate functionality.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They appear in a advanced array of handsets at a array of amount credibility - with the superior to match. If you are in the bazaar for an iPhone another and you ambition to abstain BlackBerry, for whatever reason, you are best brash to absorb as abundant time as you can with a array of handsets on anniversary platform. There is acceptable a Windows- and an Android buzz for everyone. It's just a catechism of award the appropriate one for you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Rather than giving a specific adjudication to a catechism that absolutely can't be answered, actuality we accord accepted admonition on the pros and cons of Windows Buzz vs Android. See also: Android vs iPhone vs Windows Buzz vs BlackBerry - what's the best adaptable platform?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><br />Android or Windows Phone: what's abundant about Android</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As the a lot of accepted adaptable OS on the planet, Android offers an aberrant ambit of handsets at a array of amount points. There's an Android to clothing every wallet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As a aftereffect abutment for Android from software developers and media owners is additional alone to one: iOS. You can acquisition every app you could possibly admiration in Google Play, and you can acquirement music and movies from a array of sources.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Android offers a akin of customisation to both end user and accouterments manufacturer. Not all Androids are the same, far from it. But the arduous acceptance of Android accessories agency that there are lots of accordant third-party accessories and accessories for Android.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Most importantly, afterwards all this time the Android acquaintance is now good. Like all aloft adaptable OSes Android is attractive and intuitive, at atomic in the added contempo flavours. See also: 11 best smartphones: The best buzz you can buy in 2013?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Android or Windows Phone: what's bad about Android</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">That arduous array of handsets is not consistently a acceptable thing. You can acquisition a artefact at every price, but you may not ambition to acquirement and use the cheapest Android phones, and you are not affirmed amount at a college price. The ambit of phones from altered manufacturers aswell agency that accessories and cases may not be compatible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And it's not just hardware. Because Android is accessible accouterments makers aren't affected - or even incentivised - to accumulate their handsets up to date with the latest version. As a aftereffect phones are accessible with a amazing array of operating systems on them. Throw in the actuality that manufacturers such as Sansung and HTC address their own versions of Android to accord their handsets a altered flavour.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This leads to a array of superior of exerience - Android is far from a curated end-to-end experience. It agency not all apps plan on all phones, far from it. And not all Android phones even action admission to Google Play.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Not that this is consistently a bad thing. Some Android apps are terrible. And the best of media outlets can be confusing. Best and array aren't consistently to be desired, and accouterments makers will generally advance you in the administration of their own media- and apps stores. They may not accept your best interests at heart.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And even if you are an accomplished Android user, you may not accept acclimated the adaptation of Android you are getting. There is no unified experience. Finally, there is a perceived aegis accident with Android. Admission to Google Play is almost able for Android developers, so you can't consistently be abiding that the app you are downloading is legitimate.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Windows Phones | FindTheBest<br /><br />Android or Windows Phone: what's abundant about Windows Buzz 8</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Windows Buzz 8 is a curated end-to-end experience. It's abundant afterpiece to iPhone, and BlackBerry than to Android in that respect. And it works able-bodied and looks good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Indeed, in the case of Microsoft-owned Nokia phones, the accouterments and software is all fabricated by the aforementioned people. So you can be abiding that if you acquirement a Windows Buzz 8 handset it will all plan able-bodied calm - even if it is fabricated by a third-party such as HTC.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This has knock-on effects: there is no software-based aegis blackmail agent that we apperceive of in the Windows Buzz world. And although there is just one OS for all devices, these canicule there is a acceptable array of amount credibility in the Widnows world. You can aces up the Lumia 520 for beneath than ВЈ100, for instance. That's abundant for a superior smartphone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Finally, for businesses Windows Buzz is like BlackBerry: your arrangement admin can administrate a agile of Windows Phones from the assurance of his server room. That agency abstracts aegis is a accomplished lot better. See all smartphone affairs advice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Android or Windows Phone: what's bad about Windows Phone</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First, you'll agenda that we've removed the '8' from the attack above. That's because users of Windows Buzz handsets with an operating arrangement earlier than Windows Buzz 8 will never be adapted above Windows Buzz 7.8. And that agency abhorrence with new apps. That may not affect your purchasing accommodation now, as you will buy a Windows Buzz 8 device. But it is account address in mind: although Microsoft says it will amend Windows Buzz 8 devices, you accept no redress if it chooses not to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Also Windows Buzz 8 is altered to Android (and iPhone). Like BlackBerry it works in a altered way to the two a lot of accepted adaptable platforms. Humans who like Windows Buzz tend to adulation it, but adapt for a acquirement s curve.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The alone added downside that we can anticipate of is the down ancillary of getting allotment of a baby amateur in a ample market. All Windows Buzz 8 handsets plan well, but they all action abundant the aforementioned experience, accord or yield a awning admeasurement or camera spec. There's aswell a perceived abridgement of media and apps in the Windows world. Microsoft will acquaint you that all the aloft apps humans use is accounted for, but in my acquaintance that's not absolutely the case. And some of the apps that are there are not official, getting fabricated by third-party software makers. See also: best Windows Buzz of 2013.</span></div>

With Samsung bistro up abundant of their Android bazaar allotment and Microsoft ablution an agitative new adaptation of Windows Phone, the belvedere is acutely traveling to be a key breadth of focus for the Taiwanese firm. So it's no abruptness that it hasn't afraid about to absolution some Windows Buzz 8 handsets, with both the mid ambit HTC Windows Buzz 8S and its big brother the HTC Windows Buzz 8X aggressive for your attention.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Since its launch, the HTC 8S now has a bulk of competitors in the Windows Buzz 8 space. Its capital rivals are apparently the Nokia Lumia 620 and the Lumia 520, with the above costing about ВЈ30 more, and the closing ВЈ50 less. Compare that to the HTC Windows Buzz 8S, which can be best up for about ВЈ150 (around $365/AU$345), and you'll see it's got some appealing abutting aggregation in the account space.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The specs affirm its position as a mid ambit handset. Powered by a 1 GHz dual-core processor and arranged with just 512 MB of RAM. With a 5 megapixel camera, 720p video and just 4 GB of centralized accumulator (albeit with abutment for microSD cards of up to 32 GB), aggregate about it screams mid-range.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Things don't change with the Super LCD Gorilla Bottle display. At 4 inches it's a appropriate admeasurement but not huge and its 480 x 800 resolution (coming in at 233 pixels per inch) is accomplished but annihilation decidedly impressive. In added words it's got solid specs all around, which on cardboard are neither absorbing nor black for the price..</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The alone potentially black blueprint is its 1,700 mAh battery, which seems a little on the baby side, but it's about the aforementioned admeasurement as the one in the bigger and added able Samsung Galaxy S2 and that holds up able-bodied enough. The aboriginal affair to bend out about the HTC 8S is its two-tone colour scheme.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With the HTC 8S the aggregate of the buzz is one colour, while a band at the basal is another. Interestingly this sets it afar even from the added buzz in the range- the HTC 8X, which afresh is all one colour. It's a abundant and characteristic look, authoritative the buzz anon recognisable no bulk what bend it's beheld at.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With ambit of 120.5 x 63 x 10.3mm it's not the thinnest buzz you'll anytime see, but the arced edges accomplish it assume hardly slimmer and sleeker than it in actuality is.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It continues to affect if you aces it up. At 113g it's got a appropriate bulk of weight to it, authoritative it feel like a adequately exceptional accessory rather than a bargain section of plastic. Speaking of plastic, there's no brushed metal or bottle aback on the HTC Windows Buzz 8S, it's artificial through and through.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Despite that it doesn't assume flimsy. The rubbery, polycarbonate accomplishment makes it simple to anchor and feels acceptable in the hand. It doesn't attending or feel bargain either, just altered and that's a acceptable thing.</span><br />

Above it there's HTC's logo and a speaker, while beneath it there's the iconic band adorned with three bendable blow buttons, accurately home, aback and search. HTC accept afresh formed their logo in argent assimilate the aback of the buzz - this time abundant bigger. Above it you'll acquisition the 5 megapixel camera lens, while beneath it there's a logo for 'Beats' audio, beneath that a apostle and beneath that the coloured stripe.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The top bend of the buzz has a 3.5mm headphone anchorage on the larboard and the ability button on the right. The accepted accession of the ability button is fine, but it's hardly aloft at all, authoritative it harder to acquisition and press, in actuality we begin that we generally anticipation we'd apprenticed it alone for annihilation to appear as we'd either absent it or not activated abundant pressure. The basal bend is home to a micro USB port, acclimated for charging the handset and abutting it to a computer. You'll aswell acquisition the microphone here.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The top of the appropriate bend houses a aggregate rocker while the basal is home to a committed camera button - which both launches the camera and takes photos. The larboard bend has actually no buttons or ports on it. You can't abolish the aback of the HTC Windows Buzz 8S. Instead the little band at the basal is disposable and gives you admission to the microSD agenda aperture and the micro SIM.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It aswell agency that the annoying convenance of putting the microSD agenda aperture abaft the array has been avoided, acceptation that if you accept added than one cards account of media you can bandy cards after axis the buzz off. Given that there's alone 4 GB of centralized accumulator this could be absolutely advantageous for some users. The coloured band is simple abundant to abolish but feels deeply in abode if you put it aback on.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Ascend W1 is Huawei’s aboriginal smartphone to run Windows 8 and its entry-level bulk puts it in absolute antagonism with the Nokia Lumia 620. Its angular anatomy isn't that agitative at a aboriginal glance, but its bendable blow aback makes it actual adequate to hold. The rather dull accumulation of atramentous on our analysis sample wasn't decidedly inspiring, but the Ascend W1 is aswell accessible in dejected and pink, giving it some personality.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Ascend W1 has a 4in awning with a 480x800 resolution and we were admiring with its all-embracing angel quality. Colours were actual ablaze and rich, and blacks were decidedly abysmal for an LCD screen. Compared to AMOLED screens, blacks were a little grey, but the screen's adverse levels were great, assuming an accomplished akin of detail in our top adverse analysis images. Account phone, or not, this absolutely is a superior screen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We were decidedly afflicted with the Ascend W1's performance. Its dual-core 1.2GHz processor and 512MB of RAM were altogether able of active the Windows Buzz 8 operating arrangement calmly and it completed our SunSpider JavaScript benchmarks in a cool fast 1,182ms. This is agency the buzz is as fast as abounding added big-ticket handsets.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We absolutely noticed the aberration while web browsing, as we were able to cede the BBC News home page in just seven seconds. It’s a little slower than we’d commonly apprehend from this blazon of SunSpider score, but it’s still absurd for a buzz this cheap. We had to zoom in to apprehend desktop versions of sites due to the analogously low resolution, but it coped able-bodied with apprehension argument and images up close, and we accomplished hardly any hasty movement or bleared argument while annexation about the page.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We admired application the keyboard, too. Numbers and symbols are on a abstracted screen, but anyone who’s acclimated the onscreen keyboard on a Windows 8 laptop or PC will acquisition it actual familiar. The keys yield up about bisected the screen, but any abate and they’d be too fiddly to tap accurately.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One affair missing from the Ascend W1 is a advanced ambit of chargeless apps. This is the capital disadvantage it has compared to a Nokia Lumia, which comes with a host of pre-installed apps address of Nokia. However, we are alpha to see added and added key apps accomplish their way assimilate Windows Buzz 8. It’s still not as absolute as Android or iOS, but the contempo additions of iPlayer and a beta adaptation of Spotify go some way in authoritative it a added adorable operating system. You’ll apparently charge to yield advantage of Ascend W1's microSD agenda aperture if you’re planning on downloading lots of apps, though, as its 4GB of centralized accumulator doesn’t accord you a huge bulk of additional room.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Where the Ascend W1 absolutely stands out is its array life. Its ample 1,950mAh array lasted 12 hours and 29 account in our video playback analysis with the awning set to bisected brightness, giving it about alert as abundant array activity as its Nokia rivals. This would be a abundant account for any phone, but it’s even bigger because the account price.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The phone's 5-megapixel camera was appropriately stunning. Our alfresco shots had affluence of detail and images looked aciculate and well-exposed with actual few signs of pixel-blurring. Colours were a little drab, but they were abundant brighter and active than added cameras we’ve seen, even if it wasn’t decidedly ablaze outside. Our calm shots were just as good. There was a little added babble present in anniversary photo, but it coped actual able-bodied in low light, capturing images acutely and with lots of brittle detail.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It’s one of the bigger cameras we’ve apparent at this price, but its video capabilities were a little added disappointing. It had agitation absorption on altar if in low light, with the auto-focus hunting a lot. In our still activity scene, our affective alternation and spinning admirers became jerky, and we had some aberrant ablaze ghosting on the image, a lot of acceptable acquired by the LED lights in the admirers absorption internally off the lens.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Huawei Ascend W1 is a abundant Windows phone. It may not accept the apps or adorable body superior of the Nokia Lumia 620, but it’s a abundant faster, best abiding buzz at an even added affordable price. It’s ablaze amount and it wins a adapted Account Buy award.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Windows Buzz 8 hasn't absolutely adapted the smartphone space, and the Samsung Ativ Odyssey for Verizon Wireless apparently will not change that. The $49.99 Ativ Odyssey is Samsung's aboriginal U.S. smartphone to run Windows 8, so it's hasty that it's a generic, bourgeois handset. It's baby and comfy, and Windows Buzz 8 is as glossy and accelerated as ever, but the Ativ Odyssey doesn't accompany annihilation new to the table. It's a appropriate phone, it just isn't exciting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One of my admired ancestry about the accepted crop of Windows Phones is their fun, antic design. The Nokia Lumia 920, for instance, comes clad in a amount of altered attractive polycarbonate colors. Ditto the HTC Windows Buzz 8X, which aswell stands out acknowledgment to its "pyramid" design. Even the bargain Nokia Lumia 822 creates some beheld absorption with its white, angled form. The Samsung Ativ Odyssey, on the added hand, can canyon for any amount of faceless, nameless smartphones out there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The buzz is fabricated from the aforementioned shiny, cheap-feeling artificial you'll acquisition on a lot of Samsung smartphones, with the aforementioned faux-textured aback console as the Samsung Galaxy S III. On the ablaze side, the buzz is almost baby and adequate to hold, abnormally if compared with monsters like the 6.53-ounce Lumia 920. By comparison, the Odyssey weighs just 4.38 ounces and measures 4.82 by 2.52 by 0.44 inches (HWD). There's a Camera and Ability button on the appropriate ancillary of the phone, a 3.5mm headphone jack on top, and a aggregate rocker and microSD agenda aperture on the left.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Ativ Odyssey has a 4-inch Super AMOLED affectation with 800-by-480-pixel resolution. That makes it attending a little tighter than the Lumia 822, which has the aforementioned resolution advance out over 4.3 inches, but it still fails to impress. While Super AMOLED makes for actual rich, active colors, the PenTile pixel adjustment lends a fuzzy, pixelated attending to everything, abnormally brighter colors. There are three backlit blow buttons beneath the display, and accounting onscreen feels fine, admitting the almost baby awning size.</span></div>

The Buzz averaged 3.1Mbps down and 2.5Mbps up, which accept become appealing archetypal after-effects for the arrangement in this allotment of the city.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Reception is alone average, but articulation superior is absolutely strong, abnormally through the phone's earpiece. Aggregate gets acutely loud, and can complete acrid at top volume, but if you accumulate it set to a added listenable akin choir sounds excellent—crisp, clear, and natural. Calls fabricated with the buzz complete rather affluent and bass-y, admitting accomplishments babble abandoning isn't great. The speakerphone is loud abundant to use outside, and calls articulate accomplished over a Jawbone Era Bluetooth headset; I had no agitation application the angle to ascendancy articulation dialing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We see this as getting the ideal smartphone for those who don't charge all the accretion and whistles and ability of Windows Buzz 8 smartphones like the Nokia Lumia 1020. The actuality that it's alone priced at $100 and has LTE capabilities makes it a bargain. Of course, Sprint's LTE arrangement isn't as ample as AT&T's or Verizon's, but it's appealing active area available.</span></div>

Instead, you acquisition apps that accept backwards means of accessing those services, or third-party apps and solutions that aren't about as acceptable as built-in ones.</span></div>

Alternatively the SIM-free adaptation of the buzz has now alone to a actual acceptable ВЈ280, authoritative this a abundant added adorable buzz indeed.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Outwardly though, this is a different-looking buzz from the Lumia 920. The unibody is gone, replaced with a disposable artificial aback that lets you change the colour of the handset.

Once you're blessed with the casing, and you've spent the appropriate ten account disturbing to get your Micro SIM installed, you'll be able to sit aback and apprehension that at 160g, the Lumia 820 isn't as abundant as its bigger brother.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You get a aggregate rocker at the top, followed by the ability on/off button in the centre and again a concrete camera bang button - something we're consistently blessed to see on a smartphone.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The foreground of the buzz is basal in agreement of design, with just the Nokia book at the top and the three accepted Windows buzz bendable blow keys at the bottom.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Usually this doesn't could cause too abundant concern, but accustomed the abreast edge-to-edge displays of handsets like the Motorola Razr i and the iPhone 5, it's acceptable added of an issue.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The affectation isn't as ample as added smartphones out there. It will not attempt with the 4.7-inch HTC One or Samsung Galaxy S4 or the 4.5-inch Lumia 920, for awning absolute acreage but compromises with portability.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Overall body superior is as acceptable as you would apprehend accustomed Nokia's continued history of adaptable buzz craftsmanship.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hey, Nokia: Verizon Wireless barter absent you. The new Lumia 822 is the aboriginal Nokia buzz to hit the carrier in three years. It's a solid effort, and gives you a almost bargain way into the new Windows Buzz 8 world. But it's not the standout buzz Nokia—or, for that matter, Microsoft—needs on Verizon Wireless to absolutely advertise the platform.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Nokia Lumia 822 is actual agnate to the Lumia 810 over on T-Mobile. For added abstracts on the buzz itself, go apprehend that analysis first. Here, I'll mostly go over the differences amid the two models. The Lumia 822's physique looks a lot altered than the Lumia 810's. That's array of a acceptable thing, as the Lumia 822 has a white, angled anatomy that looks characteristic next to the absolutely accustomed Lumia 810's ellipsoidal atramentous housing. That said, it's still a adequately cheap-feeling artificial phone, with the barring of the bottle screen. It measures 5.03 by 2.69 by 0.42 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.99 ounces, which makes it anytime so hardly thinner and lighter than the Lumia 810.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You still get the aforementioned 4.3-inch, 800-by-480-pixel ClearBlack OLED screen, which is beautifully active but absolutely low-res next to today's high-definition 720p phones. The adapted ancillary of the buzz contains a Volume rocker, a Power button, and a Camera adjustment button. The disposable aback console contains a Carl Zeiss lens, a bifold LED flash, and a 4G LTE logo. With the adapted alternative cover, the Nokia Lumia 822 aswell supports wireless charging, which I'm not a huge fan of, aback you're affairs an added charging pad and again still active it into the wall. But some humans absolutely acknowledge the convenience, and it's nice the Lumia 822 supports it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Lumia 822 is a dual-band EV-DO Rev. A (850/1900 MHz), quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz), and quad-band UMTS (850/900/1900/2100MHz) accessory with 4G LTE abstracts and 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi. That makes it a accurate apple phone, and one that aswell supports accompanying articulation and data, clashing the Apple iPhone 5 on Verizon. The Lumia 822 can aswell act as a adaptable hotspot for up to eight accessories with the adapted abstracts plan. Analysis LTE speeds were absolutely poor in Manhattan, at 3-5Mbps down and 2-4Mbps up. But an iPhone 5 I had on duke aswell struggled to breach 6Mbps down on Verizon, so something was acutely up with the carrier's arrangement during testing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Voice superior was acceptable through the earpiece, with a clean, brittle accent and appropriate accretion available. Transmissions through the microphone were a little attenuate and choppy, but I'll book it up to the aforementioned issues afflictive Verizon's arrangement on analysis day. Reception was solid. We're still testing the Lumia 822's array on LTE and will amend this analysis as anon as we accept a result.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As before, Nokia developed some absolute apps for Windows Buzz 8, and they're not your boilerplate bloatware. Nokia Drive delivers solid, turn-by-turn, voice-enabled GPS navigation, while Nokia Transit offers accessible busline info, and Nokia Maps is a accepted crammer app for award things while on the go. The Lumia 822's 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor is an accomplished performer, and turns in fast criterion after-effects and contributes to a active feel in circadian usage.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Unique to Verizon Wireless, the Lumia 822 includes Abstracts Sense, which monitors your abstracts acceptance on an app-by-app basis, and again compresses abstracts to and from your buzz whenever possible. Microsoft claims a 45 percent abridgement in data, although we'll accept to see how that bears out over the continued haul. Either way, it's a acceptable administration to arch in, now that the above U.S. carriers are affective to tiered, bound account abstracts plans, and lets you at atomic anticipate about traveling with a lower-cost plan.</span></div>

The latest adaptation includes reside tiles in altered sizes, which helps if configuring your home awning and lock screens. Microsoft's app abundance is up to 100,000 apps, but abounding of them don't bout accepted apps you'll acquisition on Android and iOS phones.

There's 16GB of centralized storage, with 9.78GB chargeless for user programs and media. There's aswell a microSD agenda slot—a acceptable advance on beforehand Windows Buzz devices—that accepts 64GB cards; my 32GB SanDisk agenda formed fine.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The 8-megapixel camera has a Carl Zeiss lens, wide-angle capability, autofocus, and a bifold LED flash. Nokia knows its cameras, and the after-effects appearance in the Lumia 822's solid photos and video recordings, even admitting it's not absolutely the aforementioned camera as the one in the higher-end Lumia 920 on AT&T. There's aswell a 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera for video chats; it's bigger than the VGA sensor in the Lumia 810.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm appraisement the Lumia 822 bisected a point college than I did on T-Mobile, acknowledgment to the Lumia 822's hardly lighter and added absorbing anatomy factor, the Abstracts Sense app, fast LTE connectivity, and bigger front-facing camera. The a lot of absolute Android allegory on Verizon is the Motorola Droid Razr M, which has the aforementioned processor and awning size, but manages to be smaller, lighter, accept a bluff screen, and admission to over 600,000 Android apps. The Droid Razr M's camera isn't absolutely as acceptable as the one in the Lumia 822, though. The Samsung Galaxy Stellar is chargeless on Verizon, and offers abundant of the Droid Razr M's goodness, admitting with a hardly inferior screen, processor, and camera.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>What is the Nokia Lumia 920?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://static.trustedreviews.com/94/0000258b2/7ad9_orh348w620/IMG-0233-1.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">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?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Nokia Lumia 920 - Design</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://static.trustedreviews.com/94%7C0000258b4%7Cdff3_IMG-0235-1.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://static.trustedreviews.com/94%7C00002527c%7C2092_Nokia-Lumia-920-11.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With ambit of 130.3 x 70.8 x 10.7 mm, it's not absolutely the slimmest handset either.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://static.trustedreviews.com/94%7C0000258bb%7C7d84_IMG-0246-1.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://static.trustedreviews.com/94%7C0000258b7%7C30f4_IMG-0238-1.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://static.trustedreviews.com/94%7C0000258bd%7C8e20_IMG-0248-1.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://static.trustedreviews.com/94%7C0000258ba%7C2458_IMG-0244-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://static.trustedreviews.com/94%7C0000258ba%7C2458_IMG-0244-1.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">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.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Nokia has done what we asked: appear a Windows Buzz handset in metal. Except it's not all metal. And it's actual agnate to the Nokia Lumia 920. And it's in the high-end bulk bracket... but does a beauteous camera accreditation the added cost?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Last year's Lumia 920 was a appropriate handset. It affiliated arresting looks to a superior awning and an even bigger camera. However, while it was acutely acceptable there was still some allowance for improvement, as accepting a flagship buzz abounding hoped for bigger specs, beneath weight and a added exceptional build.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn3.mos.techradar.futurecdn.net//art/mobile_phones/Nokia/Lumia925/Hands%20on/Nokia_lumia_925_review_08-580-90.JPG" height="223" width="400" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now the Finnish phone-smiths are aback with the Nokia Lumia 925. It's abandoned apparent a baby bulk addition in its name, and if you affected that meant that not abundant had changed, well, you'd be right.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">While Nokia has able the Lumia 925 with a analogously ablaze camera and gone some way to acclamation the body of its flagship, it hasn't absolutely bigger the specs, abrogation the Nokia Lumia 925 in the analytical position of activity added like a tweaked handset than an all new one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This acclimated to be a botheration if the handset was so expensive, but it's abundant added reasonable at ВЈ380 (around AU$674) now, authoritative it a abundant added adorable buy compared to the now discontinued Nokia Lumia 920, although the earlier archetypal can now be had for beneath ВЈ290 through some sellers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and just 1GB of RAM the Nokia Lumia 925 matches the Lumia 920 for application and trails some way abaft the brand of the Samsung Galaxy S4 or Sony Xperia Z - both of which accept bifold the RAM and quad-core processors.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn4.mos.techradar.futurecdn.net//art/mobile_phones/Nokia/Lumia925/Hands%20on/Nokia_lumia_925_review_48-580-90.JPG" height="179" width="320" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Arguably Nokia didn't charge to go all out, aback it doesn't accept a huge bulk of antagonism in the Windows Buzz amplitude - abandoned the HTC Windows Buzz 8X absolutely poses abundant of a threat. But it seems like a absent befalling to attempt on a akin arena acreage adjoin the added buzz world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At aboriginal afterimage you ability about not recognise the Lumia 925 as a Nokia handset. It has the aforementioned acutely ellipsoidal appearance that the Nokia Lumia 920 has, but breadth that was all blithely coloured plastic, the Nokia Lumia 925 has a agleam aluminium bandage active about the sides. It gives it a exceptional bend that is hardly defective from added Nokia handsets, and it looks acceptable for it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn0.mos.techradar.futurecdn.net//art/mobile_phones/Nokia/Lumia925/PR%20shots/PR%20shot6-580-90.jpg" height="179" width="320" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Unfortunately Nokia hasn't gone the accomplished hog and fabricated a absolutely metal handset like the HTC One, and instead fabricated the aback from polycarbonate. It still looks appropriate and the adequately bourgeois colour options (black, white or silver) beggarly that it looks a lot classier and added developed up than the Nokia Lumia 920, but it doesn't appear abutting to the exceptional attending or feel of the HTC One.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Despite accumulation metal into its design, the Nokia Lumia 925 is in actuality lighter than the Nokia Lumia 920, advancing in at 139g (4.9oz) compared to the 185g (6.5oz) Lumia 920. The weight was one of our key advisedly with the Nokia Lumia 920, so it's acceptable to see that it's been addressed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn1.mos.techradar.futurecdn.net//art/mobile_phones/Nokia/Lumia925/Hands%20on/Nokia_lumia_925_review_12-580-90.JPG" height="179" width="320" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At a glassy 8.5mm (0.33 inches), the Nokia Lumia 925 is absolutely a bit thinner than its 10.7mm (0.42-inch) antecedent too, while the breadth and amplitude abide about identical at 129 x 70.6mm (5.08 x 2.78 inches).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It feels nice in the duke and it's about absolutely adequate to hold, admitting there are a brace of caveats to that. Firstly the position of the camera lens on the aback makes it actual simple to accidentally put your fingers over it, which is afflictive and could leave marks on the lens.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn1.mos.techradar.futurecdn.net//art/mobile_phones/Nokia/Lumia925/Hands%20on/Nokia_lumia_925_review_37-580-90.JPG" height="179" width="320" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And secondly, the corners aren't actual curved, which agency they can dig into your duke if you authority the buzz in a assertive way. On the additional side, the polycarbonate aback feels bendable and balmy adjoin your palm, which is a abating sensation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The foreground of the Nokia Lumia 925 is bedeviled by the 4.5 inch 768 x 1280 AMOLED screen. It's not absolutely bend to bend but it's not far off at the abandon - although there's abundance of artificial aloft and below, which seems a bagatelle unnecessary. It's a acceptable admeasurement too in our opinion, big abundant to use calmly after acceptable unwieldy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn1.mos.techradar.futurecdn.net//art/mobile_phones/Nokia/Lumia925/Hands%20on/Nokia_lumia_925_review_41-580-90.JPG" height="179" width="320" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At 332 pixels per inch it aswell has a appealing acceptable pixel density, admitting not one that will bother the HTC One or Samsung Galaxy S4. And in actuality it's absolutely the aforementioned admeasurement and resolution as the antecedent model, which is a little disappointing. However it does use the aforementioned absorbing PureMotion HD+ ClearBlack technology as the Nokia Lumia 920.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Above the awning there's Nokia's logo, the earpiece and the 1.3 MP front-facing camera, while beneath the awning there are three bendable blow buttons with icons for Start, Aback and Search.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn2.mos.techradar.futurecdn.net//art/mobile_phones/Nokia/Lumia925/Hands%20on/Nokia_lumia_925_review_22-580-90.JPG" height="179" width="320" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Flip the Nokia Lumia 925 over and you'll acquisition addition Nokia logo formed beyond the average of the polycarbonate back, while aloft that there's an 8.7MP Carl Zeiss camera lens and flash, and abreast the basal of the handset there's a speaker.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The artificial about the lens is raised, abrogation the lens itself hardly indented. That gives it a little aegis if putting the buzz down, but it aswell makes the buzz beneath adequate to authority as your fingers will generally devious over the aloft area.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn1.mos.techradar.futurecdn.net//art/mobile_phones/Nokia/Lumia925/Hands%20on/Nokia_lumia_925_review_39-580-90.JPG" height="179" width="320" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The larboard bend of the buzz consists of a bandage of metal with no absolute appearance on it, while the appropriate bend has the ability button in the middle, a aggregate rocker just aloft it and the camera button abreast the bottom. The buttons are all absolutely aloft and responsive, authoritative them simple to columnist and simple to acquisition by blow alone. They're aswell spaced out abundant that there's no abashing over which is which.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The top of the Nokia Lumia 925 houses the micro SIM agenda aperture at the left, the micro USB anchorage and 3.5mm headphone anchorage abreast the centre and the microphone to the right.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The basal bend is larboard unadorned, with just the metal bandage active forth it. You can't abolish the aback awning so there's no accepting to the Nokia Lumia 920-matching 2000mAh array and there's aswell no microSD agenda slot, so clashing some lower-end Nokia handsets (such as the Nokia Lumia 520), the accumulator isn't expandable. This leaves the Nokia Lumia 925 with just 16GB of memory, which is bisected what the Nokia Lumia 920 offers - although 32GB options are allegedly traveling to be available.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Nokia Lumia 925 is slimmer and lighter than the Nokia Lumia 920.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Case in point: The Nokia Lumia 928, absolute to Verizon's 4G LTE arrangement at a listed amount of $99 on a two-year contract, is a bulky, banal slab accessible in just atramentous or white, and it will not bolt the eye of a beholder with its all-encompassing styling.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But this Windows Buzz 8 handset has added standout actualization – namely a abundant camera with a lens congenital for low-light conditions, not to acknowledgment a actual aciculate screen. And the WP8 interface is abundant on any device; actuality it's absolutely no slouch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But the WP8 belvedere is already several months old, with added accouterments change now absolutely not too far off on the horizon, and there are abounding added characteristic buzz options already out there – even aural the Lumia line.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As acclaimed above, the Lumia 928 isn't abundant of a beholder if it comes to body design. It's not too far off from the Lumia 810 on T-Mobile in appearance, admitting the 928 lacks a disposable abetment bowl and offers no admission to the battery, nor any way to add alien storage. However, it does affection congenital alternative wireless charging, if you acquirement a charging pad to abode it upon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

On the basal of the buzz are the three accepted Windows Buzz blow buttons – Back, Start, and Search.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Flip the buzz over and you'll acquisition an 8.7-megapixel primary camera with Carl Zeiss optics, additional a Xenon beam alongside and the apostle abrade abreast the bottom.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The appropriate ancillary of the buzz houses the aggregate rocker, ability button, and committed camera bang button, which can aswell be captivated to cull up the camera/video app at any time. Up top are a headphone jack, SIM agenda slot, and mini-USB charging input, while the added two abandon of the buzz are bland and unadorned.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It has a boxlike appearance to it, and admitting a slight adequateness to the corners, they'll dig into your award during use. The Lumia 928 is a ample handset, at 5.24 inches alpine and 2.71 inches wide, but it's the backpack that you'll absolutely feel, as the buzz comes in at 5.75 ounces.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Lumia 928 feels sturdy, in ample allotment because there's no aback console to remove, but it's just not that adequate to authority over the continued haul. Add to that the abridgement of beheld flair, and the accessory lacks concrete appeal. Luckily, there's added to the 928 than what anon catches the eye.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When we aboriginal heard about the 41MP smartphone camera in the Nokia PureView 808, our antecedent thoughts were, "What a abashment to put such a nice camera on a Symbian device." Now that the camera is accompanying with a hardly bigger platform, we can breathe a baby blow of relief. If you're accustomed with the Lumia band of phones, the 1020 shouldn't attending that adopted to you. Its curvature and all-embracing appearance are evocative of the Lumia 920, and the abate Lumia 820.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On the face of the device, you'll acquisition a 4.5-inch 1280 x 720 touchscreen display. The larboard bend of the device, if you're adverse the screen, is apple-pie and chargeless of any buttons or ports. The appropriate ancillary has a aggregate rocker, power/standby button and a committed camera button.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At the abject of the accessory you'll acquisition the micro-USB charging anchorage and speaker/microphone. Up top, there is a SIM agenda tray, 3.5mm angle jack and addition microphone for babble cancellation.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The aback of the accessory is conceivably the a lot of noticeable, with its ample camera module, Xenon flash, LED ablaze and camera lens. It protrudes abundant from the accessory that it never lays collapsed on its back.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The afterward video is sponsored and fabricated by O2 Guru</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Even after the beefy camera, it's a abundant accessory as far as avant-garde smartphones go. It's not the slimmest or lightest by any means, but it is somehow hardly slimmer and lighter than the Lumia 920.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To accord you an abstraction of its dimensions, this Lumia buzz is 130.4mm tall, 71.4mm advanced and 10.4mm blubbery and weighs 158 grams. As you can see, it's appealing advanced and aggrandized by today's smartphone standards.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Despite its admeasurement and weight, you eventually get acclimated to action your way about the device. It's the camera that makes it catchy to hold. Do you accumulate your fingers about it, or anchor the buzz appropriate over the camera? Decisions, decisions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Our analysis archetypal came in matte black, and it's hardly added glace than its bright predecessors. The Lumia 1020 aswell comes in chicken and white.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn1.mos.techradar.futurecdn.net//art/mobile_phones/Nokia/Lumia1020/Device%20photos/image8-580-90.jpg" height="179" width="320" /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For those of you absorbed in internals, there is a Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core 1.5GHz processor, 2GB RAM, 32GB on-board accumulator and a 2,000 mAh battery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Interface and performance</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Windows Buzz 8 resides central the Nokia Lumia 1020, and if you've anytime acclimated Windows Buzz before, it will be abundantly accustomed to you. This adaptation of Windows Buzz 8 is alleged Amber, accessible alone to Nokia devices, and it's the latest adaptation of the Microsoft platform. It adds a few chic new appearance to the software, but it's not a above check of the belvedere or anything.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn0.mos.techradar.futurecdn.net//art/mobile_phones/Nokia/Lumia1020/Device%20photos/image9-580-90.jpg" height="179" width="320" /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You can do new things with the Amber amend like bifold tap the affectation to about-face it on, or cast your buzz over to blackout it. And if you adulation customizing your device, there are a scattering of new wallpapers added. Otherwise, it's just apparent old Windows Buzz 8. The reside asphalt arrangement works appealing accurately to accord you app updates and any added accordant advice you ability wish to see. The tiles are aswell customizable in size, so you can accomplish them ample or baby and align them into clusters if you compress them down.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you bash to the appropriate from the capital screen, you'll see a account of all your apps, including the settings. It's a mostly automatic platform, but what it's actively defective is third-party app support. A lot of of the big-name apps are on Windows Buzz 8, like Facebook, Twitter, CNN, Foursquare and more. But it's aswell missing abundantly accepted apps like Instagram and Vine. This abridgement of app abutment is what usually turns humans off from adopting the Windows Buzz platform.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Another hardly missing affection is a centralized notification system. With iOS and Android, you can see all your notifications and updates in a drop-down pane, admitting Windows Buzz 8 leaves you academic with the reside asphalt system. If you get a notification for an app that isn't anon aural appearance of the display, you accept to annal about just to accomplish abiding you haven't absent anything.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In agreement of accustomed performance, I accomplished no lag or hiccups at all. Well, added than the camera, but we're traveling to awning that issue. Scrolling through the home page or aural apps is smooth, clashing the Android acquaintance on some handsets. The apps and tiles accept air-conditioned animations, too, if you're aperture or closing them or watching your notifications.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Besides the top-end processor and camera, which we'll get into a little later, Nokia has absolutely befuddled the kitchen bore at the Lumia 1520. There's 32GB of congenital memory, but there's aswell an up to 64GB microSD agenda slot. Every wireless accepted we can anticipate of is included, too. There's 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC, not to acknowledgment 4G LTE. Did we acknowledgment the 1520 supports wireless charging? We didn't? It does that, too, admitting with a alternative dock.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You don't charge us to acquaint you that the awning on a buzz is important, and acutely Nokia doesn't either. The Lumia 1520's awning is a triumph. The IPS-based LCD awning is sharp, rich, colourful, responsive, bright... and some added acceptable things we can't absolutely anamnesis appropriate now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A 1920 x 1080 resolution on a 6-inch awning equates to 367 pixels per inch (ppi), which is affluence aciculate abundant to ensure text, videos and photos attending bland and abundant in all the appropriate places. And while the admeasurement makes the Lumia 1520 a bulky buzz to use, it's absurd for games, videos and web browsing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It is, as is generally acicular out, added like a book than a phone. This aswell makes the Lumia 1520 accomplished for alive with and examination Microsoft Office documents, decidedly ones with cartoon and archive that will not fit on abate phones.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Like a lot of Nokia phones, the Lumia 1520 aswell works if cutting gloves -- a accurate ambush the brand of Apple accept yet to adopt. This is a nice-to-have rather than a accept to have, but it aswell has the blessed ancillary aftereffect of authoritative the Lumia 1520's awning abundantly acute and acknowledging after gloves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The atramentous akin and adverse isn't absolutely as abysmal and bright as the best AMOLED displays, but the Lumia 1520 is still actual acceptable on both counts. It's accomplished if beheld outdoors, too. This is a big advice if lining up shots with the camera, about area the admeasurement aswell helps a abundant deal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">All told, it's absolutely harder to acquisition accountability with the screen. It's by far and abroad the highlight of the phone.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Nokia Lumia Icon does not accept a abbreviate and ablaze architecture like a lot of accepted smartphones strive for. It’s acutely heavy, blubbery and well… blocky. You see it sandwiched amid a Samsung Galaxy Agenda 2 and a Samsung Galaxy S3 in the angel above. It’s added pockable than my phablet Agenda 2, but it feels added than my S3 due to the Icon’s metal frame.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Icon is accessible in atramentous or white. As you can acutely see, I was beatific the atramentous model.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The collapsed abandon accord this buzz an iPhone-esque blazon of look. It’s not an airedale buzz by any means, but it’s not eye communicable either. Of course, that’s not a bad thing. It’s just the way it is.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The absolute top apparent of the buzz is glass, with the 1920×1080 OLED affectation in the center, with the foreground adverse camera and apostle at the top, and the three backlit bendable buttons and a microphone at the bottom. There’s a additional microphone on the front, but I’m not abiding area it’s located.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The top bend of the Icon has a 3.5mm headphone jack and a SIM agenda tray for Verizon’s LTE nano SIM. Be acquainted that the tray is difficult to remove. You’ll charge some array of pry apparatus or absolutely pointy fingernails.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Notice the stripes on either ancillary of the headphone jack? There’s a analogous set on the basal bend too. I was absolutely aflame if I aboriginal saw these stripes. I was abiding they were notification LEDs. Unfortunately I was wrong, they are just for decoration. That’s a affliction because this buzz has no notification LEDs at all…</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The added set of antagonism stripes and the micro USB charge/sync adapter is amid on the basal bend of the phone. The Icon can be answerable with the included USB cable and aswell via a wireless charging berth like the Nokia 910 which I’ve been application with my Samsun Galaxy S3.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Take a abutting attending at the angel above. Notice the bendable askew edges of the Gorilla Bottle 3 display? This the aboriginal such affectation I’ve noticed with this shape. Aback the affectation is not flat, I’m borderline how able-bodied a awning protector would stick to it…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The larboard ancillary of the Lumia Icon has no buttons, but the appropriate ancillary has a one section aggregate button at the top, the ability / deathwatch button in the centermost and a committed bang button at the bottom. Agenda that captivation down the bang button for a few abnormal will deathwatch up the buzz and go beeline into the camera app.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The 5″ OLED affectation is gorgeous. The angel aloft does not do it justice. Colors are ablaze and vivid. Blacks are actual atramentous and argument is aciculate and clear. It aswell does actual able-bodied outdoors in abounding sunlight. The 180 amount examination bend is one of the best I’ve apparent on a buzz so far, authoritative it simple to allotment something with a awash accumulation of friends. Aswell agenda that the affectation has a top acuteness ambience that will acquiesce you to even use it while cutting gloves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In duke the Icon feels a bit chunky. But it is a actual solid accessory that doesn’t flex, crepitate or able if I put it through my anytime accepted Gadgeteer clasp test. I don’t abhorrence or adulation the concrete architecture of this device. I feel a bit “meh” about it. If alone those stripes were LEDs… As is, the appearance seems a little boring.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The best affection of this buzz is acutely the camera. 20 megapixels is absorbing for a committed abridged point an shoot camera, so it’s even added absorbing if it’s been congenital into a smartphone. But 20 megapixels isn’t new for Nokia. Their Lumia 1020 has a 41 megapixel camera. If it comes to smartphone cameras, Nokia acutely knows what they are doing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When you yield pictures with the Icon’s Zeiss optics, you’ll get two copies of the image. A high-res 16MP jpeg angel and a lower-res 5MP jpeg image. The abstraction is that you can use the lower-res angel to upload to Facebook and added amusing media blazon sites. There’s aswell the advantage to save the high-res photo in RAW (DNG) format, but be acquainted that anniversary book in RAW architecture can be 20MB in size. That will add up bound if you’re a abounding account snapper, and with no microSD card, you’ll charge to accumulate an eye on your accessible memory.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I wasn’t all that afflicted with low ablaze shots, but they aren’t too horrible. See the endure two images above… The larboard angel was taken after the beam and the appropriate angel with flash. Because the appliance was in an aphotic allotment of the allowance at night, so I can’t absolutely accuse that abundant about the Icon’s low ablaze performance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Nokia Pro Cam app is simple to use and offers quick admission to chiral settings. You can aswell zoom just by sliding your feel up/down or left/right beyond the screen. You can change white balance, ISO, bang acceleration and breach and added all at the aforementioned time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Video abduction adequacy afflicted me as abundant as angel abduction capability. Videos are captured at 1080p in 24, 25 or 30 frames per second. Here’s a actual quick archetype of my non-cooperative cat Max.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With the Icon’s four agenda high-dynamic-range microphones, audio captured with video is aloft average. I had a few video clips of myself arena the ukulele, but I kept blame up the songs, so I didn’t cover one. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I anticipate it’s just a amount of aftertaste and what you’re acclimated to though. If you are advancing from an iPhone, WP8 is a nice advance in my opinion. But if you’re advancing from Android, not so much.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Also, the Icon’s affectation resolution does acquiesce for rows of three average sized tiles, and six baby titles which is an advance over the Lumia 822, which was alone advanced abundant for two average sized tiles and 4 baby ones per row. So you can add and align a ample amount of tiles of altered sizes.</span></div>

</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I will accept that the app exchange does accept a bigger alternative than endure year. Apps that weren’t accessible endure year like Twitter, Instagram, Pandora and Spotify are now in the market. But still missing are some of my claimed favorites like Swype keyboard, Feedly, Dropcam and Chrome.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It just feels like there’s something missing if I’m application this buzz and I can’t absolutely put my feel on it. Hopefully the Windows Buzz 8.1 amend which is slated to access soon, will be a big improvement.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Call quality</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I fabricated several calls with the Lumia Icon and had no problems whatsoever. I did not acquaintance any alone calls or arresting backbone issues. Audio was bright and affluence loud abundant on both abandon of the conversation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Performance and array life</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I accept aught complaints with the Icon’s performance. The buzz never crashed, lagged or contrarily stuttered while I was testing it. With its 2.2 GHz cloister amount Snapdragon 800 processor, it is acutely abrupt and bland with scrolling and ablution apps.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Battery activity with the Icon’s 2420mAh array has been actual impressive. It does a abundant job of powering you through an absolute day with affluence of abstract to spare. That is hasty accustomed the fast processor and top resolution display. One affection I adulation is that the Lumia Icon has Qi wireless charging congenital in. So it works abundant with the Nokia 910 docks I accept at home and work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Final thoughts</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I either heard or apprehend area anyone said that the Nokia Lumia Icon is a nice camera that just happens to accept a buzz congenital in. That sounds a little harsh, but isn’t too far from my own animosity about this phone. I capital to adulation it, but I came abroad with alloyed feelings. On the one side, this is the top of the band Windows Buzz smartphone. If you’re a big fan of the Windows Buzz OS and are aswell a Verizon customer, this is the top of the band Windows Buzz to get. If you’re an iPhone user cerebration that there ability be bigger and added “fun” phones out there, the Icon can aswell be a nice change of pace. It’s alone Android users like myself that I would not acclaim switching to the Lumia Icon or addition accepted Windows Buzz 8 buzz as it apparently won’t amuse your tweaking tendencies. Microsoft and Nokia are absolutely on the appropriate clue with the Nokia Lumia Icon though, so I’ll be actual analytical to try the next change of accouterments and software.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>I wish Microsoft's Windows Buzz 8.1 developer bits</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The rumors were right: Today, April 14, is the day Microsoft is authoritative the developer adaptation of its Windows Buzz 8.1 operating arrangement about accessible to developers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The 8.1 developer examination is slated to be reside by 8 a.m. ET/5 a.m. PT today. Even admitting this is a developer preview, anyone accommodating to assurance up (for free) as a developer can download the $.25 to their phones. (Both WPCentral.com and the Windows Supersite accept acquaint instructions on how to do this.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQxDHls7vMNvD-XnHhjNtV1VA4JJBQdZtR5pOXkbLAu36fsk0RO" height="320" width="179" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've had the near-final developer examination $.25 active on a Nokia Lumia Icon loaner buzz from Microsoft for the accomplished week-plus. Microsoft provided these $.25 to a few reviewers and columnist folk so they could put the hundreds (literally) of new appearance — and abnormally Cortana, Microsoft's new agenda claimed abettor — in this OS absolution through its paces.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I accept I've been a big Cortana agnostic aback affairs for it leaked a year ago. I was careful about how abundant I'd wish and use Cortana already I saw Microsoft advisers audience it at the Build 2014 appearance the aboriginal anniversary of April. Would I absolutely anytime allocution to my phone? Would I wish my buzz analytic my email, contacts, and agenda and autumn that advice about me? And would it be just way too awful to see an "ask your sister about her cat" admonition pop up if I alleged her?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Over the accomplished week, my use of Cortana has confused above aggravating to get it to activate agreeable chit-chat to application it to do tasks on my account added easily. I've acclimated Cortana to set alarms, accomplish reminders, adapt for a even cruise and acquisition bounded diners accessible aboriginal on Sunday. These are all searches I could do after Cortana, but Cortana fabricated them easier and quicker. As bags of developers, and ultimately, Windows Buzz users, alpha application Cortana, its after-effects should improve, accustomed added abstracts will be fabricated accessible to Bing on the aback end.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm animated there's a best of accepting able to allege or blazon my queries with Cortana. By habit, I about never allege to my buzz alfresco the borders of my own home. Yes, I reside in New York City area humans allocution to themselves on the street, subway, and in added accessible places. But I'm not adequate accomplishing that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There are two agency users can "wake up" Cortana: By acute the committed seek button or by activating the Cortana app/tile. Users who wish no allotment of Cortana or who are in markets area it's not accurate will still be able to use Bing for Web and accessory searches. Currently, Cortana is accessible in examination anatomy alone for US users. It will plan if users set their regions to US and accent to English, but those alfresco the US will not get the aforementioned experience, aback abounding of the Bing-powered Cortana appearance (like places-related reminders) will not plan right, according to Microsoft officials.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQLB6Mx_sbb4ECEZj4Bnj6Ej37rozLXx0vsGmVYQEL6fmsKljdg" height="320" width="179" /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One of the key affidavit that seek is added advantageous in the Windows Buzz 8.1 absolution is because the OS enables accessory search. This agency users can acquisition email, argument messages, contacts, settings, appointments, music, and apps that are on their phones application a simple seek query. (Email accessories and Office Hub files aren't covered by accessory seek at the moment.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As I've been a Windows Buzz user for the accomplished few years, I can't acknowledgment how Cortana endless up adjoin Apple's Siri or Google Now. From what I've apparent and apprehend about those agenda assistants, I'd say Microsoft has approved to bang a average ground, adopting some Siri elements and some Google Now elements. Application the articulation of Jen Taylor, who is the articulation of the Cortana able abettor appearance in the Halo bold series, is a nice branding touch. (Taylor is in the bosom recording added responses for Windows Phone, and users/testers will apprehend her articulation added as those are phased in over time.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cortana isn't the alone new affection in the Windows Buzz 8.1 (codenamed "Blue") release. There are new Alpha and lock-screen customizations available. (See my Alpha awning at left, which shows off the adeptness to accept a account as the accomplishments angel abaft the tiles.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There's aswell a new Action Center/notification center. Users can adapt a scattering of quick settings for Wifi, Camera, and Bluetooth, additional see a account of notifications from/about their apps. Users just bash down from the Windows Buzz alpha awning to see and admission these settings/notifications. I didn't acquisition myself defective or application the Action Centermost abundant over the accomplished week. The adapted agenda is a lot easier to use than the accepted Windows Buzz calendar, with alternate day, anniversary and ages views, forth with chip weather.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There's aswell a abundant added Chat Flow Keyboard included as allotment of the Windows Buzz 8.1 release. Microsoft advisers showed off this keyboard, and its new "shape writing" that lets users skip accounting alone characters and instead coast their feel over keys in a connected motion to access text, agnate to the way Swype works. I've approved application this a bit in the accomplished week-plus. It absolutely takes some accepting acclimated to. At the moment, I still blazon added accurately and allegedly after application appearance writing, but I could see myself application this added already I accept time to alternation myself on it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Check out Windows Buzz 8.1 awning attempt arcade</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For business users, Windows Buzz 8.1 is a huge footfall up from the accepted Windows Buzz releases. Microsoft admiral said a year ago to apprehend the aggregation to add aback to Windows Buzz a amount of the action appearance it alone if it confused from Windows Mobile to Windows Phone. They said they'd do this via an action pack. Instead, they are authoritative accessible these capabilities as a congenital allotment of the Windows Buzz 8.1 OS itself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR3xk6LTru1zfpap1WRIxEJAwMxFlHvhW-8X3PWF9h4YoxvgVeB" height="160" width="320" /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Enterprise VPN, acknowledging IPsec and SSL VPN gateways, is congenital in. Action Wi-Fi, acquiescent by mobile-device-management systems, is congenital in, as well. Certificate management, S/MIME abutment for defended email, the adeptness to lock down abstracts in OneDrive via information-rights-management software and behavior are all there, too. There's a chargeless mobile-device-management adviser accessible for download from Microsoft that data these new action features. There's aswell a downloadable adviser absorption on aegis enhancements in Windows Buzz 8.1.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What's next? New Windows Phones with Windows Buzz 8.1 congenital in should activate debuting in backward spring/early summer and carriers should alpha blame Windows Buzz 8.1 to absolute Windows Buzz users this summer, as well. Again, users who don't wish to delay for their carriers can download the developer bits. Chat is that Microsoft affairs to abide to amend Windows Buzz 8.1 with assorted GDR/updates during this agenda year, the aforementioned way it did with Windows Buzz 8.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There's no chat from Microsoft if the aggregation will accommodate Cortana into Windows applicant and Xbox, but this is accepted to appear possibly by next year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Bottom line: Windows Buzz 8.1 is a ample and acceptable update. Cortana is added fun and advantageous than I advancing but not a analgesic feature/app for me..

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>8 motivations to purchase the new HTC One (M8) </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's presently been a little more than 10 days since I began utilizing a HTC One (M8) with the most recent five days went through with the T-Mobile USA variant of the gadget. I appraised the HTC One (M8) a 8 out of 10 in my survey, however am still genuinely acknowledging making the $700+ buy one week from now when it at long last propels on T-Mobile. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As standard book fans know, I totally cherished the HTC One (M7) and invested more of a chance with it as my essential cell phone than any viable telephone in the last a few years. The M8 enhances the M7 in almost every perspective while likewise presenting some novel characteristics to make it one of the best cell phones to think about in 2014. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;" trbidi="on">

<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Motion Launch signals:</b> Nokia was the first to launch help for touching your presentation with the showcase off to perform movements; LG included this proficience Android gadgets. HTC brought it significantly further with their Motion Launch motions giving a greater number of capacities than simply opening your gadget. I like bouncing into Blinkfeed and propelling the Polaroid with Motion Launch signals. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Metal development and configuration:</b> HTC's One (M7) set the bar for cell phone outlines and the M8 brings about a noticeable improvement. With a 20 percent increment on the shell packaging material, the M8 feels superior to any viable cell phone I have attempted. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Boomsound stereo speakers:</b> The front-confronting stereo speakers on the M7 were astounding, however the ones on the M8 are far better. Nobody in my family can accept how stunning the speakers sound and I couldn't be more satisfied with their execution. </span></li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Normal bookworms will realize that I'm a huge enthusiast of Amazon's Kindle Fire HDX. An immense fan. I like it on the grounds that I feel that Amazon now brings about a significant improvement tablet than Apple. While I imagine that the fifth-era ipad Air is an incredible tablet, I feel that Apple is iteratively developing the ipad rather than providing for them it a full patch up it merits. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;" trbidi="on">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When I go any further, I need to bring up something. I'm not saying that the ipad is refuse. A long way from is. It's a marvelous tablet, and Apple's App Store offers the best environment out there. Anyway in the course of recent years it has gotten clear to me that Apple is resting on its shrubs, depending more on the ipad to offer since its the ipad, rather than it being the best tablet it could be. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Likewise, for the reasons of this piece, I'm contrasting the ipad Air and the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HDX. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Along these lines, how precisely is the Apple's leader tablet falling behind Amazon's lead item?</span></div>
