In the latest series of Nokia adverts showing off the inductive charging, Nokia might have shown off a bit more than Microsoft would have liked. When the phone is set on the charger a screenshot of an active skype call appears on the Lumia 920 as you can see above. From the looks of it the UI [...]

This is the yellow pages app. Useful for finding points of interest. Shame it doesn’t integrate with Nokia Drive. Very different from the US Yellow Pages. After the news today of Yellow phones you may feel like yelling a bit in either excitement or disappointment. Use this app to find a pub to celebrate/drown your [...]

  Following Anandtech’s sample that prooves that PureView in the 920 gets significantly more low light in very low light situations, Laptopmag has some excellent hands on videos with the Nokia Lumia 920. They seem to be rather impressed with the phone. http://blog.laptopmag.com/nokia-lumia-920-first-impressions-pureview-camera-raises-the-bar-for-smartphones In the video, you can see how the super sensitive display works.

Rumors are going around about the teaser/Reveal video of the Optical Image Stabilization in the Lumia 920, as you can see in the image above the video was indeed filmed inside a moving van. True there was a bit of advertising deceit involved in the video itself, the boy riding on a bike with the 820 in [...]

Nokia Lumia 920 vs iPhone 4S – low light PureView and screen sensitivity test

| September 5, 2012 | 22 Replies

This image was on Anandtech showing a comparison between the screens of the Nokia Lumia 920 against the iPhone 4S. I’m not sure if they’re doing something wrong on the iPhone as it doesn’t even look like the brightness is on. Perhaps the lighting has adjusted too much to a possibly brighter screen on the [...]

Here’s Joe Belfiore talking about the Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Phone 8 device. I like Joe but I wish they spent more time talking about the PureView Floating lens stuff than showing us how to change tiles which they demoed already in June. It’s interesting that he still calls it ‘Metro UI’ since MS had [...]

Engadget have gotten their hands on the Lumia 920 and pitted it against its slightly smaller predecessor the Lumia 900. Screenwise there’s only a .2″ difference between the two, yet the Lumia 920 holds almost the same body shape/size (but weighs alot more!). Both have a 8Mp camera, but the Lumia 900 obviously lacks all the pureview goodness. Check [...]

PureView seems to be quite complicated stuff. Remember the sweeping dismissal by folks who did not understand it, only to eat their words once they saw PureView eat their digital cameras? A white paper was published explaining PureView Pro. Still a rather lengthy document for news and some publishers, but useful for those who were [...]

At the keynote, Kevin Shields talked about some interesting additions for the Nokia Lumia camera. Smartshoot is a little bit like smartgroups. But instead of taking a photo to find the best expression, smartshoot allows you to remove things that move in the picture. Imagine a scene where people keep walking in front of the [...]
