Video: Super Sensitive and snappy Nokia Lumia 920 screen/responsive test #fork&gloves
In this video, you can see that the Nokia Lumia 920′s screen is super responsive to non-finger input too. These aren’t special capacitive instruments, these are any everyday objects. This time a fork is used.
A glove follows the fork in testing out the super sensitivity of this screen – previously a task that only resistive screens could handle. (At the time, pretty much all resistive screens lacked the featherlight touch of capacitive, and also did not do multitouch – though that is not a limitation of resistive). Here the glove works completely fine whilst swiping gently. Now this isn’t because the glove is thin – we’ve seen demoes before with thick mittens.
Other than that, the phone itself is looking pretty snappy. The more you get used to something without lag, the more you tend to notice it in systems that have it. Now I’m being picky – these are literally millisecond differences, but for me, they affect my user experience.

would a test with a stylus be interesting?
stylus is to bulbous now. Use a bobby pin!
Hope L920 arrives before snow falls in london. Love to see all people taking of their gloves to answer the call and me with L920 gloves on baby.
Impressive..!
Now.. get rid of those silly buttons, or at least make them call buttons.
Oh, at least one device landed already in Thailand. Launch coming closer?
What? Where is it?
I don’t know. But this video was shot in Thailand. At least they speak Thai.
They were invited by Nokia Thailand for preview the phones. According to what they’d been told, Nokia really wants to release the phone but has to wait for Microsoft to releasing the final version of WP8. They said that it might release on November or December.
Good thing Nokia has this tough & sensitive screen… I like to use my phone with my KNOIFE!
No way is a fork getting anywhere near my Lumia 920′s screen
That person was going to town with the fork! Don’t jab at it!! Felt like I was being stabbed.
using my L920 outside when its cold is gonna be awesome
DD
How will Nokia handle butt dials?
Something I’ve been wondering – if you’ve got the phone in your pocket and the pocket cloth is all that stands between the phone and your skin, wouldn’t any slight movement end up triggering the screen? It would end up reading the skin’s touches through the fabric, just like when you have a glove on.
You need to hit the physical lock button first. But yea, I guess you could quite easily pocket dial someone with this new screen.
Not when the proximity sensor is used to prevent the screen from switching on inside the pocket.
Remember when every device had a resistive screen, and we all ended up butt dialing everyone ?
Or how we always ear-dial everyone when we put the phone against our ear during a call?
Yeah, me neither.
Haha forgot about the proximity sensor, so yeah, that should prevent pocket/butt dialing.
No it won’t. If power button(or camera button) is pressed the screen turns on even if proximity detected. That’s how current Lumias work today. See http://reach.jdbpocketware.com/topic/128305-to-nokia-ref-lumia-920/
Is this from the same place ?
Has to be fake, the SGS 3 seemed to give the best video…
God, that made me cringe. Stop stabbing that beautiful phone lol.
All of them are suck. My nokia n8 would capture better video come on. Nokia didn’t say the truth about lumia.
