When Nokia released the Lumia 900, I finally began to see the light a the end of the Windows Phone tunnel. Nokia offered up beautiful hardware and a stylish marketing campaign that really drove it home. Apparently, the Smartphone Beta Test wasn?t quite as over as we were all told. Microsoft and Nokia weren?t exactly thinking ahead with 900, and the phone became an antique as soon as Windows Phone 8 was announced. Now, Nokia and Microsoft have come back to the table with the Lumia 920, which seem to complete the thought.
One of my favorite things about the Lumia 900 was that it performed really well despite having a spartan hardware profile when compared to other current generation devices. Now that Windows Phone 8 supports much meatier hardware profiles, the Lumia 920 has risen to the challenge. The phone?s Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 clocked at 1.5GHz processor is very much on par with what is on the market today. The 4.5-inch PureMotion HD+ display, 8MP PureView camera, NFC, and integrated wireless charging help set the mood for a really impressive device. We?ve seen a lot of these technologies in play individually, particularly the PureMotion HD+ display that filters out sunlight, and the PureView camera that performs amazingly in low light and without a flash.
The glass that covers the 1280 x 768 display features what Nokia calls a ?Super Sensitive Touch? surface. While Nokia has not gone in to terribly great detail as to how this works, the big feature that is added with this tech is the ability to use your phone while wearing gloves. In testing this, it does allow you to use the screen with reasonably thick gloves on, but more interestingly it doesn?t change how you use the phone with gloves off. This is, without a doubt, one of the most frustrating parts of owning a smartphone, and Nokia has found a great solution.
Windows Phone 8, what little bit has been shown off so far, feels significantly more complete than before. The new LiveTile interface allows the users a great deal of customization, and Windows Phone finally has enough app developers that are interested in writing apps that actually follow the rules of the platform. The LiveTiles are finally being used and it makes a tremendous difference in how the device feels when using the home screen.
While I was told repeatedly that the build of Windows Phone 8 I was using was an incomplete build with features missing that Microsoft has yet to announce, Windows Phone 8 feels like an OS that can actually compete with iOS and Android today.
I?m excited to spend more time with the Lumia 920 when the device is finally ready. The device lacks an official release date and pricetag, but given Nokia?s history it is pretty safe to assume the phone will be priced competitively.
Nokia has made a phone with competitive hardware, and having wireless charging built in by default is a feature I have been dying for an OEM to make a standard. If the Lumia 920 gets into the hands of consumers, Windows Phone 8 is going to have a lot of very happy users.
