The Nokia Lumia 920 is the first Windows Phone 8 smartphone designed by that manufacturer that offers both a dual core processor and high definition screen. Pixel density and resolution run to the extreme high end of the smartphone marketplace, double the amount of built-in data storage than what is offered by the typical smartphone is on board, and a Carl Zeiss camera package is also present. The handset is offered in unique color choices like yellow, red, black, white and cyan, and the new PureMotion HD+ display technology makes for what Nokia is calling their “fastest display ever” with a refresh rate 2.5 times faster than the typical smartphone.
The Nokia Lumia 920 is available for a special holiday price tag now starting at $49.99.
Recently offered by Amazon for around $39 on contract, the handset also delivers Dolby sound enhancement as well as the Windows Phone 8 operating system. Meshing perfectly with any Microsoft powered computer, laptop or Xbox gaming console, the Nokia Lumia 920 offers HSPA+ and 4G LTE connectivity on the AT&T network in the US. The handset also supports a large 4.50 inch ClearBlack display with IPS LCD technology which improves visibility in bright sunlight and at extreme angles. The new touch screen has a hypersensitive technology that can even allow you to use your Nokia Lumia 920 wearing gloves.
Display resolution runs 768 x 1,280 pixels, and that is delivered at the very high pixel density of 332 pixels per inch. 16 million separate colors are present on that display, and Corning has given the Nokia Lumia 920 4G a layer of scratch resistance through the Gorilla Glass 2 coating. The handset can also charge wirelessly through a wireless charger, and delivers a very impressive 17.0 hours of talk time and roughly 17 days of standby battery power from a single charge of its 2,000 mA battery.
A Carl Zeiss optics package and f/2.0 lens grace the 8.7 megapixel rear facing camcorder, with video capture running 1,080P HD resolution.
