The Dynamic Duo Of Microsoft And Nokia

The partnership between Nokia and Microsoft helped to prove one thing. They were both former giants in their respective industries that were in desperate need of makeovers.

What better way to make a comeback than to combine forces and create a line of mobile phones that could benefit both companies? After the successful launch of the Lumia 800, the two companies decided to merge again with the creation and development of the Nokia Lumia 920. They are hoping this phone will give Google and Apple some serious competition.

The Improvements from the Lumia 900 to the Lumia 920

The Lumia 920 is an excellent phone, and it has seen a major overhaul from the previous 900 model. This is indeed impressive because the Lumia 900 was a force to be reckoned with. The current model is powered by the quad core processor Snapdragon, and it also includes an extra gigabyte of RAM.

The newer model is also available in extra colors besides the white, black, and cyan choices. The Lumia 920 is also available in yellow and red.

The Design Remains the Same

Although there are more colour options for the 920, everything else appears to have remained the same between these two units. The 4.3 inch touch screen of the Lumia 900 has been increased slightly to a colourful 4.5 inch touch screen for the Nokia Lumia 920.

This screen displays 1280x768 pixels of high definition brilliance with PureMotion HD. The screen is also protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. All of the buttons are in the same locations on the phone, and the only differences are the black has been replaced by shiny silver and the USB slot has moved to the bottom.

The Dimensions Compared To The iPhone 5

The Nokia Lumia 920 is definitely the larger phone between the two. It is thicker with a measurement of 10.7mm, compared to 7.6mm for the iPhone 5. The Lumia 920 is taller with a height of 130.3mm, compared to 123.8mm for the iPhone5, and it is a lot wider. The 920 has a width of 70.8mm, compared to 58.6mm for the iPhone5.

Apple also falls short in the weight category, with the iPhone 5 coming in at a slim 112 grams. The Lumia 920 has a weight of 185 grams. These dimension changes do not affect how light the phone actually feels when it is held in the hand.

The Camera of the Nokia Lumia 920

The camera of the previous Lumia 900 was not strong, and Nokia realised that. They have created an 8.7 megapixel camera for the Lumia 920 that is absolutely amazing. The camera is also equipped with PureView technology. The front facing camera is also nice with 720p HD quality.

There are some software issues that may create problems for users when they are attempting to take pictures in the sunlight. The camera takes better pictures in lower light. This problem has been recognised by Nokia, and they are working to repair it.

Windows has a long way to go before they are able to completely compete with the other smart phones makers, but the Nokia Lumia 920 is a refreshing mobile phone that is quickly becoming a favorite with mobile phone users.

You can keep up with all of your social media accounts with the Nokia Lumia 920.
