A true 920 successor would be smaller than 5", I'd like to see 4.5 or 4.7 1080p, at least Snap 800, and the 1020 camera or better. The 1020 with a Snap 800 and 1080p is pretty much it.
I've started to rely quite a lot on wireless charging so I would like my next one to have the same. Who wants to go back to constantly plugging a phone in?
I was one of those early adaptors. I stayed up late as hell to preorder the 920 when it first became available. I love this phone. Its beautiful, amazing and powerful! And with the announcements the other day I was really hoping they would squeeze In a successor of the 920. Im talking
-5 inch display 1080p
-quad core processor (s800)
-2gb ram
-32gb or 64gb with micro sd expansion
-20mp camera with 2mp front shooter
-wireless charging built in
-ir blaster
-anything else awesome they want to add inside.
But also the body needs to be like the 925 or lighter, then it will be perfect!
I wont upgrade till I get this phone!!
I wouldn't replace my 920 any time soon as I'm very happy with it. That said, I don't want Nokia taking the year-old guts of a Samsung Galaxy S4 and repackaging it. That's what they did with the Lumia 920 and I don't think it was helpful from a marketing perspective. The fact that the phone does perform reasonably well is a testament to Windows Phone, but I think they're going to need something more if they want to make a splash with the next gen model.
Don't play Samsung's game of fixating on the CPU. Quad-core high clockspeed specs are irrelevant. What matters most is that GPU and that's where the iPhone always has the edge. The 5S has what looks like a pathetic 1.3Ghz dual-core and in most benchmarks it's on par or faster than the competition. And Android phones still manage to choke on advanced games, a lot of that has to do with code optimization but the GPU's capabilities can't be ignored.
Remember that the successor will almost definitely be announced, if not released, a few months before the advent of the iPhone 6. Iterative update or not, that phone will inevitably make a splash as iPhones always do. So Microsoft and Nokia need to hit them with everything they've got.
