When the new breed of Windows Phone-8 powered devices were unveiled by Microsoft last year, there were only two high-end devices, the Nokia Lumia 920 and the HTC Windows Phone 8X which made the choice for those who want a flagship device for their next mobile weapon of choice. Thos wanting a midrange device to get a lot of savings while still getting a capable device had a mode difficult time in choosing because there were quite a number of these mid-range handsets that got unveiled back then. But if there was one mid-range device that stood out and distinguished itself from the smartphone pack, it would definitely be the Nokia Lumia 820.
When you look at the Nokia Lumia 820, you will see a handset that is a value-priced offering that has impressive components under the hood and will give you the most bang for your buck. Aside from the handset’s very capable internals, the Nokia Lumia 820 is also included in the portfolio of LTE-capable handsets that AT&T released in US shores. This simply means that users of the Nokia Lumia 820 can make use of the handset in taking advantage of all the benefits brought to the table by AT&T’s ever-expanding LTE coverage.
And given the mid-range status of the handset, the Nokia Lumia 820 also came with a very affordable price point that made it even more attractive to the smartphone-buying population. Because of this, the handset has become one of the more popular handsets being offered by AT&T and has consistently made it to the list of the bestselling devices of the wireless provider. And right now, AT&T has made it even more affordable for those wanting to get their hands on the Nokia Lumia 820.
As it stands, AT&T currently has a deal that will let you get your hands on the Nokia Lumia 820 for next to nothing with the recent price drop the carrier has given the handset. At this almost free price point, the Nokia Lumia 820 can’t get any cheaper than this which will make the handset even more attractive. AT&T also gave the authorization to its online resellers to sell the Nokia Lumia 820 at this heavily discounted price point but those interested in taking advantage of this will be required to sing a new two-year service agreement with the wireless provider.
As for the Nokia Lumia 820, the handset already runs Windows Phone 8 for its operating system and this draws power from the handset’s QualComm MSM8960 SnapDragon chipset. This SoC gives the Nokia Lumia 820 a dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait processor and a full gigabyte of RAM for a snappy and lag-free performance while its storage space comes up to just 8GB. This may be meager for power users but a microSD card slot allows memory expansion on the Nokia Lumia 820 so this shouldn’t be too much of a problem. As for its display, the Nokia Lumia 820 sports a 4.3-inch AMOLED panel with a 480 x 800 resolution while its camera department features a rear 8MP shooter and a VGA snapper for video calls and self-portraits.
