The results of GSM Arena’s sound test tell that story. Want further proof? Plug it into your car stereo via the 3.5 mm line in jack and turn it up all the way. Then try another phone playing the same song. Trust me, there’s a difference. My Lumia 900 requires the volume on the stereo to be put up 80% while my N8 and RAZR Maxx require less than 50% for the same sound output. Sure the sound may sound good, but there’s no power from the audio chip.

Secondly, this issue needs to be talked about more, because its not. I’ve seen enough reviews and photos, and even some of my own from store devices that I’ve used and sent photo samples to myself to see on my computer, that daylight imaging on the 920 SUCKS. Yeah, I said it. Look at the photos GSM Arena produced. Look at the photos from AAWP. Look at the photos from Phone Arena. They’re all extremely over sharpened around the edges of subjects and anything pretty much, colors are off, and photos are darker than they should be. Take a look at the photo comparison tool at GSM Arena. Compare the 920 shots to the 900, N8, 808, iPhone 5, ATIV S and GSIII. The difference is eye opening. Then look at the sample photos that GSM Arena took with all of them. The results are always the same. There is a serious quality problem with daylight imaging.

The only reason I was considering this phone was because of the camera and after all these reviews, I’ve come to the simple conclusion that it’s really not all it’s cracked up to be. Yeah, my N8 has probably spoiled me, but when you tout your phone as the best imaging device and the most popular phone in the world produces better photos (in daylight, where most people will take them) you’ve got a problem.

I really hope the guys who worked under Damian see this and are doing something about it.

Anyway, i’m really happy with my 808. I use it while hiking and mountain climbing, and for example last time i tracked the route (SportsTracker) for 9 hours, did roughly 60-70 photos and battery was still 30% after i was done.

I don’t claim to be non-biased and neither is anyone else where but that doesn’t prevent from being able to spot it in writers. Anyone who refers to the 920 as a brick (GA didn’t by the way) or says the camera average is automatically outed as extremely biased.

An average device doesn’t create this much world-wide buzz nor drive the stock upwards like Nokia has been going lately.
