Description

Nokia Lumia 920 is the first Windows Phone 8 flagship of the manufacturer with a modern dual-core processor, and the first with an HD screen. After all, this is what the competing mobile ecosystems have been offering in their flagships for a while now, so Nokia finally had to offer something to go spec-for-spec against the Android monstrosities, now that Microsoft caught up. Before we go into the things that set it apart from the competition, let's recap the specifications - we get a huge 4.5" screen with 1280x768 pixels of resolution, a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 chipset with LTE radio to boot, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of internal memory plus 7GB of SkyDrive cloud storage, and an 8MP camera on the back with ceramic zirconium camera detailing. The screen tech is called PureMotion HD+, meaning blur-free scrolling on the curved glass display. Nokia calls it the "fastest LCD display", with up to 2.5 times faster refresh rate and new supersensitive touch technology, that allows you to use it with gloves. A new ClearBlack technology iteration is in the Lumia 920, and it adapts to the outside brightness to minimize reflectance. ClearBlack is proven to give the best smartphone visibility outside in direct sunlight, so the screen should be a looker. Pixel density on the new display is 332ppi, a record in its class, and it also sports a high-brightness mode of 600 nits.

Absolutely good phone
Phone owned for more than a year

A very good phone overall, with lots of features, like NFC, fast charging, wireless charging, etc. The UI is fast and well integrated with Microsoft apps. It's just a bit big and heavy, and there are not enough apps and games.

Reliable phone
Phone owned for more than a year

This is a phone that demands that you get used to its weight. Once you get over that obstacle, it is a great choice. Reliable (After 1 1/2 years I've only needed to reset it once), good specs and reception. You can read the specs and Windows store progress etc., I will not bother writing about them. I will note, however, that when I put in on speaker, it isn't loud enough, especially if you plan to use it while driving. Other than that, and the weight, you cannot go wrong.
