Nokia Lumia 920: The Most Advanced Smartphone On The Market

Nokia Lumia 920: The Most Advanced Smartphone On The Market
Once available, the Nokia Lumia 920 is going to be the most advanced smartphone there currently is. Why anyone would purchase the new iPhone 5 comes down to loyalty to Apple over choosing the better product.

The Lumia 920 has a bunch of features that no other smartphone has, it definitely sets a new benchmark with portable phone technology.

Some Lumia's innovative features:
- The PureMotion HD+ screen: this screen has a 60Hz refresh rate, which means that it's the fastest display screen available and 'blur free'. It is also the most sensitive touchscreen on the market, and apparently you can use it while wearing gloves.
- Awesome camera: Lumia's camera apertaure is F/2.0. This means it captures more light and has more 'bokeh' for more of that aethestic blur quality. The camera also has ground breaking optical stabilization - means your video recording will be much more stable.
- Insane resolution for a phone camera - 1920 x 1080 pixels - and 332 pixels per inch.
- wireless charging

All of the above mentioned features surpass the specs of the iPhone5. And I haven't even taken into account the OS. It'll be cool to see all the reviews once the Lumia becomes available.

Nokia Lumia 920 vs Apple iPhone 4S Stability Test.

The guy who did this vid is right handed and held the iPhone in that hand, Lumia in left hand - so Lumia was at a disadvantage there but look at the quality.

I'm wondering why they're describing the refresh rate as "60Hz". The standard measurement has always been fps and hertz reserved for AC cycles... but I guess it's counting the number of passes through the main display function (per second)? So 60Hz would still equal 60 fps - which is pretty nice.

If I needed a smartphone I'd be totally pumped for this. But I don't. But I'm still a gadget freak and this thing is just wicked.

The fact that the iPhone 5 is such a piece of shit compared to other modern phones when it comes to hardware and features, and makes SO much money is this kick in the ass. I hate seeing inferior products succeed because of spin.

Honestly Decius, I think it's not so much spin as much as a subtler expression of universal laws. It's like a game of king of the hill, anyone trying to replace the guy at the top has to fight an uphill battle. Or you can look at it like momentum. Apple is still riding some of that powerful swing generated by Jobs' vision. Although competitors are generating much more energy now than apple currently is, apple still has remnants from that swing that is probably doing most of the work in maintaining their current velocity.

velocity, riding the wave and king of the hill = hype, according to me because they reflect upon the product not at all.

It is a universal law, the law of human inefficiency, but still one that drives me nuts.

Yah it might be illogical. The extreme examples are those people in the Kimmel video. I'm not sure how much research has been done on the psychology of a fanboy but I'd be willing to guess it has to do with a fear of change (and consequently clinging to the past) on some fundamental level.

The original Lumia 900 had a lot going for it, especially in the design and the screen departments. In the Lumia 920, Nokia appears to have shored up its weaknesses that consumers care about: the soft camera, the lack of dual-core processor, the less-than-HD screen. In addition, Nokia strives to offer something new, more than just catching up to the status quo. That's where wireless charging and the floating lens camera technology come in.

Yep. You read a lot of stuff, I mean a LOT of stuff on Apple and almost all the tech papers are trying to snazz it up. But especially the investment community because everyone and their dog is long on Apple and short on Nokia, so they profit if Nokia fails.

Yet in every tech analysis and even when the public is queried the 920 appears to always be the favorite. Only time will tell how it will fare.

NOK is currently at about $2.75. Once they publicize the release date and the networks it will be on I wouldn't be surprised if it rockets by a good 50 cents to a dollar within about 2 days.

The key is them getting it out there before their 3rd quarter earnings report.

I actually think that the jump in stock price for Nokia will set records this year in regards to percentages.

Of course it is all hit or miss. If Nokia fucks it up, which they are known to do, it could plummet. But that does not appear to be likely since they have Microsoft up their ass.

I think it's highly feasible to see a 5-7 dollar stock price which would mean an increase of like 200%-300% within 3 months.

That's a great ad - I like it.

I hope Nokia blows Apple out of the water. I want a Lumia myself (if I can afford it) - just don't know which color I would go for though I am thinking red or grey.

Nokia's dead.

They just released info that AT&T will be the only US carrier to carry their new high end Lumia 920 even though previously they and Verizon (the biggest US carrier) said they would also be carrying it.

Now a report has come out that AT&T will be the exclusive US carrier.

Done and done. They fucked up one last time, and it's now over. Nokia will not survive.

The moment I found out about Nokia deciding to be exclusive to AT&T was the moment I decided that I was no longer interested in buying a Lumia 920. Very disappointed.

And it's come out that the Lumia 920 is to be exclusively sold through Rogers for Canada.

I personally don't want to discuss anything more about this company. Their stupidity/unintelligence hurts.
