Quick Comparison: Nokia Lumia 920 vs iPhone 5 vs SGS III vs One X vs Droid RAZR MAXX HD
@Panhead93/Keith Francis tweeted this picture to us above (not sure where it’s from) but it compares the Nokia Lumia 920 against the new iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, One X, SGS III and the ridiculously named Droid RAZR MAXX HD.
It’s interesting to note that Nokia could mention in future that their 920 has a higher resolution that the new iPhone and is a better retina display by having more pixels per inch (332ppi vs 326)! I’m surprised everyone is at 8MP. LG is supposedly trying to up the game and apparently made claims of having the most pixels in a phone (13MP…erm ok). We can also add wireless charging, PureView, Super Sensitive screen and PureMotion HD+ in the mix. To be fair, Nokia is right in calling it the most innovative. These are things that actually help your user experience with the device. Improved quality experience not simply “oh it has more numbers”.
On the processor side this must be a North American version as the SGSIII and OneX do come in quadcore flavours. For SGSIII, Quadcore means loss of LTE and 1GB RAM. Looking at videos, performance is comparable (LTE would probably make up for eating battery in dualcore). Comparisons versus WP8 devices in performance is yet to be established. It was already an accomplishment for single core lumias to be smoother than OneX in various operations.
Looking at this, the Nokia Lumia 920 doesn’t stack up too badly at all. The possibly only niggles is weight.

LOL
Eyyy you posted it! lol this never gets old
God, I love that movie!
thankfully i have my trusty aluminum N8 XD
Can we add Nokia 909 PureView in the list as well (similar specs with Lumia 920 except for size) with Belle/MeeGo and twisty 41MP PureView camera (detachable)
^_^
from Jolla?
Despite “Nokia-style” presentation of new Lumia devices, Lumia [89]20 feels preferable for me (in comparison with iPhone 5). Many tech blogs here, in Russia, talk about it in the way of comparation between bunch of new technologies in Lumia (NFC, new screen type, wireless charging, new photo tech, etc, etc) and lack of some new tech in iPhone 5 (lengthened screen with black bars for older apps? brand new tech called “panorama”??? OMG). Hope it will affect Lumia sales (and Nokia sales as a whole). However, Nokia still need to learn how to present new devices & new tech to public.
I’ve got coworkers chopping at the bit to get a hold of the RAZR MAXX HD (reads like 1337 speak after 5 Rockstars, doesn’t). I’ve gotten a lot of them interested in the Lumia 920. No one gives 2 ****s about the iPhone5, not even my Mac Addicted fiance.
The tide is turning my friends. The tide is turning.
Now, Nokia’s head of social media, start cranking out more smack talkin’.
Maybe, but there is another ocean dominated by Apple- tablets ocean. Apple sells much more iPads than Nokia sells Smartphones per fiscal quarter…
Nokia didn’t even release a tablet yet, and Apple is on their 4th gen iPads soon, i mean 1. Your reply to bring up the iPad to a comment about smartphones is weak, and 2. Who knows what will Nokia do with tablets, they might even skip conventional pads and come up with something completely new, then Apple has to conform to the norm that Nokia set.
1. I don’t think the comment is weak because my point is: the battle has moved on (or at least expanded). As you said Apple is three generations of iPads ahead. So for Nokia (and Microsoft) the old memo is true now: “We fell behind, we missed big trends, and we lost time. At that time, we thought we were making the right decisions; but, with the benefit of hindsight, we now find ourselves years behind.”
2. What completeley new could Nokia come up with? Their only choice is Windows 8 RT (or a WP8 tabletphone)- as such almost everything is prescribed by Microsoft. Nothing new to find here.
cool quote bro. yeah they are ahead, but that’s what we would like to see, to beat Apple at a point where people don’t see happening. I guess we will see, besides tablets will only split Nokia, their primary focus is to nail the smartphone arena.
Well Windows RT is good enough, did Apple not put iOS onto the iPad and pretty much upscale it?
“What completeley new could Nokia come up with”
Just sometime ago they brought Clearblack, PureView, inc. NFC, inc. Wireless charging, the New HD+ screen (computer speed on a mobile screen) uni-body, swipe (N9) rich audio recording, are you telling me with all that! plus NOKIA, you don’t believe they can rearrange the tablet game? C’mon where is the faith? how can you call yourself a user if you don’t see greater things?
WHEN HAS NOKIA MADE ANYTHING GOOD.
I really want to see a camera and display test between the Iphone5 and 920. Im considering switching to a new phone from my N8. I dont get why Nokia is taking so long with the 920….they seriously could learn from Apples marketing. If Nokia announced pre-order for this month and release towards the end of this month I’d be all over it, by the time pricing and availability is announce Nokia will have lost interest of potential customers.
I know why Nokia is taking so long with it
Have you ever taken apart an Apple iPhone to fix/repair the soooo commonly broken display… I have and that is not a nice sight… The internal design is so strange and with no sense at all… different screw sizes for every screw eg?! It is manufactured in China while the Nokias is put together in countries where design, and quality counts. They could on the other hand pre-produced the first stock so they could sell it from day one… That would have been nice though.
i want a nokia xphone or lumia 1000!
I’d like if they actually did the comparison on stuff that matters. Pixel density difference is pretty irrelevant. Resolution is also pretty standard (except for the iPhone with shitty non 720P res), so it really comes down to stuff like blur (Lumia 920 wins), subpixel arrangement (GS3 and RAZR lose), sensitivity (Lumia 920 wins) and clarity in various conditions (Lumia 920 wins). That comparison doesn’t show how much more awesome the 920 is than everything else. Hell, there’s no mention of using the Lumia 920 with gloves on.
The camera comparison also doesn’t show the difference that OIS brings, and quite frankly, using sapphire crystal for the lens is a significant, albeit not earth shaking move by Apple (it’s good enough that I hope Nokia copies it next time around, but it’s not good enough to make the iPhone have a better camera).
Having a Razr Maxx already I can tell you this is a great phone aside from the average camera. Lookinng at the new one, it’s going to be even better minus the crappy camera of course. So it would be a toss up in the end between the Razr and 920 since I want a great camera but I need memory in the phone itself, not in the cloud. Plus the customization and apps on Android do far more since Android just allows devs more access to things.
“On the processor side this must be a North American”
Of course he is talking about NA, who else would use the inch and ounce abominations?
The brits invented it.
Yes, but we Brits don’t use it anymore (except miles and horizontal screen size !!).
The reason why it does not matter what Apple makes…
Or better yet:
The LTE = Yes row is a bit misleading in that comparison.
The 920 is Pentaband LTE whereas the iPhone 5 only supports the 1800Mhz band used by Everything Everywhere in the UK and t-mobile in Germany. It doesn’t support the 800Mhz and 2600Mhz band which is what is being rolled out as the common LTE bands for Europe.
Thats a good point. From the apple website
Model A1429(GSM model) supports the following LTE
1 (2100 MHz)
3 (1800 MHz)
5 (850 MHz)
“The tide is turning…” “Me like it”
I hope people now will understand that the Apple gadgets are nothing else than old hardware junk. Apple have managed to sell outdated hardware to disgusting high prices, while Nokia have developed state of the art hardware and put into their phones. While Nokia have been selling/developing mobile phones that is possible to actually dial with below 0 degr. celcius and with great quality as well. Apple have during the time focused on lawsuits according to their design, and now they also had to entered the copy-cat trail with the new iPod. Rock-On Nokia… Apollo, WP8, is a step in the right direction and let us hope that future Windows version will be as great as the underestimated/rejected Symbian^3 and Meego is.
I don’t get how you can compare Lumia with others while it is still on Windows? It is a trick to compare something worse with leading technologies to make impression that worse is better then it is I think. iOS is Unix fork so it should be compared at last with something similar, and it far far better in performace and features – I have just checked both. The only similarity is that both producers can burn countless money on marketing and such a tricks IMHO.
is the lumia 920 good in gaming and does it have a lot of free cool games?
