Nokia Lumia 900 hands on suggests better camera, Lumia 800 design, 4.3″ screen?
For illustration purposes
Apparently Alexandra Jethwa had a hands on with the Nokia Lumia 900 from a Nokia source and says it has:
- Huge 4.3″ AMOLED screen (confirming all previous rumours and what our source first mentioned on the Nokia Ace)
- 1.4GHz
- Better camera (too right!) though nothing specific.
- Looks like a bigger Nokia Lumia 800, same design, same button lay out.
- SIM apparently has changed to pin push access. No cover for microUSB? :s
- Glossy finish currently but may be set to change depending on the feedback – device seen just a prototype.

I will get 900 for sure if it beats the Titan’s camera
That’s the target for sure. And it has to cleanly beat it, not just sorta-kinda.
As this will be released before the next major o/s update it will be based pretty much on existing hardware chassis.
Is that the actual picture?? or a photshopped 800 to make it larger?
ms paint. Just for thumbnail purposes.
MS Paint?
Really?
You take a picture and you just stretch it.
It’s a basic, but very useful out of the box feature. It does a lot of basic things I find useful I couldn’t find when I got a mac (very limiting)
Aha cool, anyways if it’s the same design as teh 800 then I’m definitely getting it!
Same design but the gloss finish with the current prototype doesn’t feel nice hopefully the final model will be Matt finish like the 800
lol guys you need to know that the only thing better is MAYBE LTE and the screensize…but bigger screensize is bad for windows phone mango, because the resolution (800 x 480)it limited by Microsoft..ergo the images on the larger screen could be more pixelated.
and thats why i say everything over 4 inches is useless on windows phone, or makes it even worse..
thats why im still getting the lumia 800, not only because of that, also because i want a little bit a more compact phone, i dont want a half tablet in my pocket, which could brake when sitting on a chair x)..
cheers
I guess you haven’t used the HTC Titan & The HTC HD7. Their screens aren’t limited and works and looks perfectly fine & from being hands on with the Lumia 900 it had the same look of the titles & apps
Haha. Good shot.
Here are the specs Now you can measure the camera…
•16GB and 32GB versions
•Front Facing camera
•4.3″ Clear Black Display
•125.5 x 65.8 x 9 mm
•8mpx camera with single LED
•LTE
if it looks like that ….it’s Game over for Nokia…
Considering The N9/Lumia Design has Widely Praised
Beating the Industrial Design of iPhone , Standing Out from Other Phone , Yeah It Game Over for Nokia
/s
How so?
Because size is essential part of design and dumb enlargement really isn’t helping it? It is sad to see the seamless design of HW and UI on N9 in slow death, one patch at a time. First they ditched Meego and slammed on it rectangular WP7 without swipe and with mandatory buttons at the bottom, which rendered the compact curvature quite nonsensical, and now this size up. Looks like design was also outsourced to Microsft.
It’s the same design but probably 3 – 10 mm wider/taller.
Get over trying to sound smart, it’s not going to happen.
Yeah, what’s centimetre here and there, it’s not like any rational person would put too much thought into sizing of hand held device, right? I’m just waiting when they put joystick into this enhanced and better N9 design to boost the xbox ecosystem.
He?! Nearly everybody I spoke to loved the 800s design.
And I like the idea to have something like a certain Lumia design. Everybody who sees it knows its a Lumia. Just like the phone4s.
Only concern would be how big the phone is. SGS2 is about as big as I’d want my phone, but think the lumia 800 is a fair bit fatter with a wider bezel, so 900 could be a monster
Cod3rror’s butt buddy?
Are those side-by-side shots? Or two separate pics in one? If they’re side-by-side the 900 seems brighter and seems to have less contrast, maybe it’s the flash on it.
The camera cannot pick up how good the screen is regardless. What you can see with your eyes, the clarity of colours doesn’t show on camera.
BTW, the image is just for illustration purposes. They’re both 800.
if they announce it at WMC , i think, it gona take 6 months and they will release it end of the august or september…
when they will announce it expect it in the next 1-2 months max
Will it have nfc or not?
If not then 900 same as lumia 800 only change is screen size and more mpixel cam
It Should (According to the Rumours) NFC will Skyrocket in 2012-2013 and Since Majority will Buy This on 2 Years Contract , NFC is Must Have
there is rumour that Nokia 800 has nfc but its not activated yet, Nokia loves make surprises so we will see
(accelerometer/n95) (nfc/c7)
The spokes man for Microsoft said he thinks NFC is already in the Software, but later on was confirmed that in the current release its not there yet
Does that mean 800 may have hardware, just waiting for Mango update to unleash its power?
I don’t think so because they would need to say so in the Tech specs
Not really. There were hardware features in previous Nokia devices that were not at all advertised. Like the FM on Nokia N800/N9, etc
prob my next phone
i hope big size, big screen, BIG BATTERY
WHAT the HELL is this white thing…? http://twitter.com/#!/Ricciolo1/status/145835063643340800
interesting
maybe a lumia 900?
How about a white N9 64GB?
Looks big. Looks like a Lumia. Its White. The N9 isn’t associated with ‘The amazing everyday’.
Its a Lumia 900! Or just a White N9..
Wait, so white 900 will probably be coming now?
its not an n9 thats for sure
maybe a white 800
go for lumia 800 or wait for this?
hmmm….
wait maybe? n9 >>>> Lumia 800 >>>> Lumia 900
maybe the third coming will be the best? XD
the question is cost, here in philippines we buy phone off contract, 600dollars for a lumia 800 is okay for me, but any cost higher like maybe 800-900 US dollar will really be a ppaaaiiinnnnn
how much could this cost when released?
I just want the Lumia 800 with more Gbs
i dont see anything impressive here
LoL…
real? just take a 800 picture and pull large?…
Lumia isnt a progress – only the faster Processor and a other Operating System dont making a better Phone!
Whats with Front Cam, UKW Transmitter, 12MP Cam, and expandable Memory?
NOKIA wants to beat the N8 with the Lumia?! The Lumia is an Midrange-Phone not a Flagship Phone and cost 600€
LOOOOL
That was…. indecipherable.
Was that English?
maybe that “n8 successor case” that was posted the other day is actually for the lumia 900?
Also part of the source stories was that Nokia was supposedly working on its own video calling app and image editing app for the Lumias. The former sounds more interesting yet at the same time a bit weird, assuming Skype is getting integrated to WP by MS.
It makes sense for Nokia to put there own video calling feature as a Nokia lumia exclusive. This will help the lumia brand because you will need to be in the lumia circle or squacle to video call within Windows OS. This will resemble folks who get BlackBerry for BBC.
pentile or not？
if pentile…….4.3 inch WVGA……bad!
I didn’t ask but I will try and find out
I Like it!
Thanks for the link back and the mention, do you mind correcting the spelling of my name.
With the 900, Nokia better bring nukes to a tight cell phone gun fight. This is make or break for Nokia. This will help solidify the image of unique hardware brought by the lumia 800.
So I was just thinking about the windows tiles. What if microsoft allowed Nokia to change the tile shape from box into a squarcle (the icon shape for N9 and symbian)?
This will looks great. Who else agrees?
Noooo that kills the awesome point of Metro
Lol not trying to be a troll, but awesome and metro in the same sentence just doesn’t go well with each other..
Thats because you Symbian fan, like i used to be
maybe you dont know what i meant. The tiles will still retain the same functionality. The only difference will be making the tiles habe rounded corners
Doing that whilst entire system keeps sharp lines would be a nightmare move from design perspective. Inconsistency belongs to other platforms, be it good or a bad thing.
I understand what you mean, and it looks great with Symbian but with Microsoft’s vision towards bringing Xbox, Windows & Windows Mobile together in one awesome UI I don’t think it will go well
Noooope. The perfect square look is one of the best things about Metro. The Squircle wastes space.
Harmattan on this hardware, yes!
a good suggestion
i think if nokia ace actually launched, preferbly nokia sea ray & sabre price lowered to half
I Like it Nokia!
