Anyone waiting on a true 920 successor?

[fahad kazi]

Its not that I am in need of a successor or something as I prefer usability over specs and for me the specs are well an truly good. Yeah it has its cons and I guess it is an OS issue. yes you guys guessed it right the heating issue and also sometimes something runs in the background and if you do not notice it then you are out of battery. MS needs to fix this really. I really do not want a large screen as I prefer one hand use and I am comfortable with 4.5". My final verdict will be no not right now.

If they make a 920 successor with HD screen, the camera out of the 1020, a faster processor, 2Gb RAM with wireless charging built-in and the lovely polycarbonate unibody of the 920, I'm in.

I don't like the look of the 925 or the 1020. The sticky-out lens on the 1020 irks me in particular. It would easily fit in the 920 form factor without the ridiculous sticky-outy bit.

the bar, my friend, is VERY high. No other hardware have I loved as much.

I wouldn't mind a lack of design overhaul. i love this design. Don't want it to change. Minor changes work fine enough, thank you.


Frankly,
that 16MP cam. 1080p.
4.7-5" screen.
Next gen Qualcomm. not the 800 coz we'll feel underpowered again when the s5 comes out.(you know it)
thinner/lighter seems a must now.
SMALLER BEZEL please!!!
Im really hoping they bring some innovation in ffc. (Selfie WAS the word of the year )
Expandable Storage

Also, LYTRO!!!

What are the main drawbacks of Lumia 920? In my opinion SCREEN and CAMERA resolution. I 'd love a new Lumia with the same specs (and the same body and colors!) as 920 but (1) with a 1080p screen resolution (probably at 4.8-5.0'') and (2) an 20 MP camera. Storage @ 32GB, memory @ 1GB and CPU are OK for WP8. Actually I like everything about the new 1520 except the SIZE! Can we have the new 1520 at 4.8-5.0'' ?

Screen and camera are what sold this phone. It was the best at launch. Need more processing power definitely. WP8.1 is gonna hog more resources. Guarantee it.

definitely!
but I'm not switching to that in the next 2 years, coz I made a promise to myself never switch phone for less than 3 years

hah! Good luck with that! not trying to be a jerk, but u will want to when MS drops support for WP8 gen phones in a year and something from now.

I completely agree with fdalbor.

I have the Lumia 820. Whilst I would like it to have the 920 camera and gorilla glass (and an HDMI out would have been great, so I could watch videos on hotel TVs), I needed the memory card capacity and the wireless-charging back (NOT a cover), so the 820 was the better choice for me, personally (more so because of the removable battery). However, if my 820 is lost or destroyed (and I ask this of 920 owners, too...who are happy enough with the 32GB capacity), with what would you replace it? It seems to me that Nokia has offered no reasonable or acceptable alternatives to either. Of course, we can all think of 'upgrades' we would add to our 820 or 920; but, failing that, I would at least like to get something 'as good'.

The 925, with 16GB and no SD card or wireless charging, without an ugly cover added? The 1020, with a lump on the back and no wireless charging without an even more cumbersome cover (and still not enough memory for me)? As for the 1520, wonderful spec, but its far too large...yet is probably the only Lumia I could even consider, since my minimum requirements are Here Drive+ (preferably free) and 64GB of storage (I assume this has wireless charging due to the accessories available, but can't see reference to it in the Nokia website spec?).

It seems to me that Nokia (and WP8 in general) needs to get a bigger share of the market so that the apps everyone wants are forthcoming more quickly. If not for that point, I think WP8 phones are wonderful and superior, in many respects (for my needs, at least). However, surely the best way to accomplish that will be to retain existing users and add more. Simply alienating the existing converts and trying to start again, every time you add a new phone, seems a flawed strategy, to me.

Bring out a 920s, with an SD card slot (and, ideally, a removeable battery, but not as essential for me), and I think you retain most of your existing 820 and 920 users for some time to come. For all those that require the other models, great; they will add to your client list. As it stands, I really dread the demise of my 820 and, worse still for Nokia (I would have thought), will retain it for as long as technologically possible, unless a true and appealing alternative is provided.

I appreciate this is a personal view, based on my own needs, but I'm afraid those are the ones I tend to spend most time considering. That said, those here who are perfectly happy with their 820 or 920 will, I suspect, tend to agree with this view.
