Nokia Lumia 920 Review at Pocket-lint

The Nokia Lumia 920 is the best smartphone for taking pictures in low light. It features one of the best smartphone experiences when it comes to the core software. Rooms, Maps, People Hub, Kids Corner, and customisable Lock Screens all make this a cracking phone. The 920 also has one of the best displays in the industry. Images are vivid and you can use it with your gloves on. But, It's is so heavy it will hamper you wanting to use it single-handed. It's so big and slab-like that it carries little kudos or cool factor. No one we've shown it to liked the look or design of the phone. It won't have many of the apps you probably want, or already use, if you're switching from another OS. Read more...

The Nokia Lumia 920 is a good all-around smartphone, but because of it size and weight, I wouldn't recommend it for everyone. There is no one broken, terrible, or unfinished feature to push you away, and innovations like Wi-Fi charging and gloved use are unique draws that no other competitor can offer. The Windows Phone OS, however, brings some trade-offs for those who are also considering Android and iOS. Read more...

Should You Buy It? It kills me to say this, because I wanted to own this instead of an iPhone 5, but no. No you shouldn't. It's too big and heavy. It's not fun to own. It's not enjoyable to use. If you want a Windows Phone, check out the very good HTC 8X. But this? No, not this. The 920 has a very, very good camera. But PureView, like Nokia said itself, is just a word, not photographic magic. And in this phone, it sure as hell doesn't justify bulkiness and stupid overweight excess. Read more...


Nokia Lumia 920 Review at TechRadar

The Nokia Lumia 920 isn't a groundbreaking, game-changing device, it's a refreshed Lumia 900 with a newer operating system and some additional power. That's not to say it's a bad phone, what Nokia has produced is a solid, well-built device which does the job you'd expect of a smartphone, without any of the lag we sometimes see from the convoluted Android system. Windows Phone 8 offers up a very different user interface and we for one are pleased there's something going against the grain of Android and iOS – there's certainly space for a third OS in the market and at the moment WP8 is filling it.

Nokia Lumia 920 Review at Wired

Nokia has stuffed the Lumia 920 with top-shelf features, and it all adds up into a software and hardware amalgamation that gives the phone unique appeal over competitors like HTC’s phones. It’s also a big step up from the Lumia 900, and it’s the first Nokia Windows Phone device we’ve seen that’s technologically on par with high-end Android devices, and even the iPhone 5. Just don’t expect it to be as comfortable to carry in your skinny jeans. WIRED Sleek, tasteful design with a curved glass screen. Stunning camera. Bright display with excellent color and sharpness. Nokia-built software like Nokia Maps and Nokia Music are actually very useful, well-made and great to have built into the phone. Read more...


Nokia Lumia 920 Review at Engadget

Nokia arguably offered up the best hardware for the last iteration of Windows Phone. Does it repeat that success here? Yes, but it ties with the HTC 8X for that honor. The Lumia 920 feels substantially chunkier, despite having similar by-the-number dimensions, but it remains another glorious piece of hardware from Nokia. That large shell has afforded more space for the latest PureView camera, which delivers superb low-light performance and effective optical stabilization across stills and video. While these features worked as well as we'd hoped, well-lit shots lacked the clarity and detail we saw during earlier test sessions. Overall, results were a little too smoothed out (and many smartphones have a tendency to over-sharpen), and fell short of our expectations for Nokia's latest PureView phone. Read more...
