Dual core processors delivered a serious advancement over the single core processors which inhabited our smartphones until very recently. In Nokia’s first combination of a Windows Phone 8 operating system and modern dual core CPU, the Lumia 920 4G has been a flagship device for the AT&T network where it launched last November. Offering a unique assortment of colors like yellow, red, white and cyan, the handset also delivers a Carl Zeiss optics package and PureView technology. This is also Nokia’s first smartphone with an HD screen, and it is a large one at 4.5 inches.
The Nokia Lumia 920 is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $19.99.
At 332 pixels located over each inch of display space, the Nokia Lumia 920 4G delivers better ppi than both the Samsung Galaxy S III and Apple iPhone 5. The 4.5 inch ClearBlack display technology is called PureMotion HD+ by Nokia, a fancy way of saying that you will receive blur free scrolling on the handset’s slightly curved glass display. The handset also bears the designation of offering what Nokia calls their “fastest LCD display” ever integrated into a mobile handset. The refresh rate runs up to 2.5 times faster than other smartphones, and the Finnish smartphone manufacturer has included advanced, supersensitive touch technology, allowing you to use the handset even while wearing gloves.
The ClearBlack display technology allows for excellent viewing outdoors and in direct sunlight, and resolution runs high at 768 x 1,280 pixels. That IPS LCD efficiently delivers more than 16 million separate colors, and is protected against daily wear and tear by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 2. The handset offers wireless charging, and delivers roughly twice the average amount of talk time from a single battery charge. A full 17.0 hours of talk time and 16.7 days of standby power are provided by the 2,000 mA battery.
The Nokia Lumia 920 4G hardware package includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 chip set with LTE radio, dual core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4 central processor and Adreno 225 GPU. A full 32 GB of internal storage is present, and Nokia Lumia 920 4G buyers also receive an extra 7 GB of virtual SkyDrive cloud storage. The handset offers 1.0 GB of RAM system memory.
The Carl Zeiss optics package on the rear facing 8.7 megapixel camcorder provides extra-wide video and image capture, and that camera also benefits from an attractive ceramic zirconium camera detailing package. Image stabilization, a special effects package and 1,080P HD resolution video capture are hallmarks of the camcorder, and the Nokia Lumia 920 4G also offers a front facing chat cam with video call support. Facebook, Picasa, Twitter and YouTube applications have been pre-installed, and the Internet Explorer 10 mobile web browser is present and ready for use out-of-the-box.
You can purchase the Lumia 920 at a discounted price tag now starting at $19.99.
