New challanges for Nokia

[Coreldan]

The Galaxy S4 is considerably smaller and lighter than the Lumia 920 - just saying.

Wouldn't say considerably.. S4 is actually "considerably" taller than the 920, but 920 is a tiny bit wider. However you are right that 920 is considerably thicker and heavier, but thickness or heavyness are the least problematic phone dimensions for me. It's the height + width that what makes the phone hard to operate and put into pockets. Personally if I could choose between my Lumia 920 being either 130g or the 180g that it's now, I wouldn't even have to consider about it, I'd keep it at 185g. I can't help but to feel a phone of that size feels like a toy when it weights only 130g. It does not make me feel I'm holding a high quality and well built device (even if it was, but talking about impressions). Thickness is something I don't care about either way though. It doesnt bother me in the slightest that the 920 is thicker than the S4, but I wouldn't mind even if it got equally thin with the S4 (which probably wont happen due to the camera tech taking space).

Here are the official dimensions for each:

[TD="class: ttl"] Dimensions
[/TD]
[TD="class: nfo"] S4 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm (5.38 x 2.75 x 0.31 in)
[/TD]
[TD="class: nfo2"] 920 130.3 x 70.8 x 10.7 mm, 99 cc (5.13 x 2.79 x 0.42 in)
[/TD]

[TD="class: ttl"] Weight
[/TD]
[TD="class: nfo"] S4 130 g (4.59 oz)
[/TD]
[TD="class: nfo2"] 920 185 g (6.53 oz)
[/TD]

But you do have a point that Samsung has done a great job at taking use of as much real estate for the screen as possible. I don't really mind the bezels of the 920, at least not on the sides, but vertically there feels to be some wasted space. That said, there needs to be some space vertically for holding the phone in landscape mode without hitting the touch screen.

I've read the rumors. September 19 Nokia event. Something big is coming. Could it be a quad core nokia with 1080P display?

With Sony Xperia i1 Honami and next generation iPhone having Liquid Metal casing, Looks like Nokia has to face stiff challanges this year. Lumia 1020 will be a hit. But its still a previous generation device with an amazing camera. A different league.

If nokia plan to launch Lumia 920 successor (its upcoming flagship device). It needs to have the following features / technical specification in order to succeed.

1) Graphene casing in order to compete with next generation iPhone
2) Min 20 MP camera with OIS and a bigger sensor than Lumia 920 without affecting the thickness afterall Xperia i1 did it.
3) Quad Core SD800 processor with 2GB RAM
4) >= 5 Inch screen with 1080P display, AMOLED with PureMotion HD+ ClearBlack display.
5) 64GB Storage since big camera consumes more space
6) Stereo speakers.

Please share your opinion on this

You forgot the battery. Next flagship should be 3000mah+ battery. Battery is one my concern in smartphones.
