Nokia Lumia 920 review - Pocket-lint
Verdit:
It's heavy, like really heavy...That's the first thing you'll notice from the Nokia Lumia 920 and the first thing everyone we've given it to hold has immediately said to us. Asked to describe the phone in one word, it's not good. We've had "brick" we've had "weighty", we've had "chocolate bar" we've even had "tombstone
This is a phone that is so heavy you won't want to use it with just one hand. It's uncomfortable to hold for any length of time and in a world where phones are getting lighter and lighter, we're amazed Nokia believes it can get away with it.".
Stunning. That's probably the best word to use when describing the Lumia 920's PureView camera, especially when looking at low-light shots - something the Lumia 920 specialises in.
In a series of tests against the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S III, the Nokia Lumia 920 out-performs other phones every time, giving you shots you can use with little noise.
It really is the equivalent of night and day. It's not perfect of course, but we are amazed just how well the camera phone performed. If low-light shooting is your thing, this is the phone to get - we can't stress that enough.
Verdit:
The Nokia Lumia 920 is the best smartphone for taking pictures in low light. It features one of the best smartphone experiences when it comes to the core software. Rooms, Maps, People Hub, Kids Corner, and customisable Lock Screens all make this a cracking phone.
The 920 also has one of the best displays in the industry. Images are vivid and you can use it with your gloves on.
But?
It's is so heavy it will hamper you wanting to use it single-handed. It's so big and slab-like that it carries little kudos or cool factor. No-one we've shown it too liked the look or design of the phone.
This isn't an iPhone or Android killer, and given the choice over this or the HTC 8X we would have to pick HTC.
We had high hopes for the 920, and while individual elements are great, we have come away bitterly disappointed with the overall package.
Score
3/5
