Flat vs flat: WP8 vs iOS7 app design

Flat vs flat: WP8 vs iOS7 app design

| November 11, 2013 | 14 Replies

Advertisements Up until iOS 7, Apple’s mobile OS was focused on these skeuomorphic designs as opposed to the WP flat approach. Then suddenly all came a “new” and “innovative” way as iOS7 invents the flat approach. Long Zeng compares a selection of popular apps on both platforms. With developers updating to iOS7 styling, some of these […]

Nokia Lumia 920 vs Nexus 5 – OIS test

Nokia Lumia 920 vs Nexus 5 – OIS test

| November 11, 2013 | 4 Replies

Last year’s WP flagship goes up against this year’s Nexus, the Nexus 5. Whilst the benchmark has been raised by Nokia with the Nokia Lumia 1020 (or 808 what have you) it’s great to see that everyone else is also trying to get better and better imaging capabilities too (no point being the best at […]

Lumiappdates: Nokia Camera and Day Counter

| November 10, 2013 | 6 Replies

Nokia Camera got an updated to v4.3.0.9 though I’m not sure what the changes are. Perhaps bug fixes? Day Counter, one of the apps always pinned to my homescreen (counting down exams/events etc) is now on v4.0.0.0 but no changelog noted in the update description either. Update: Note quite sure if it’s just me or […]

LeakyLeak: Nokia product codenames II: Goldfinger, Moneypenny, Normandy, Phantom, Spinel (#007)

| November 10, 2013 | 13 Replies

Last night @evleaks tweeted the product names of some more Nokia devices.  Goldfinger and Moneypenny (perhaps even Phantom, aka Rolls Royce Phantom III owned by Auric Goldfinger). Normandy…Deauville, located in the lower Normandy region, was said to be the inspiration for the location of Casino Royale. Ian Flemming had apparently played at Deauville. Spinel? Defined […]

Weekend Watch: Wowsers! What Quad Microphones sound like on the Nokia Lumia 1520

| November 9, 2013 | 10 Replies

  Nokia phones have always quietly excelled. Audio was one of the earliest places I remembered being in awe of what Nokia was producing in comparison to their competition. I remember the first time I was able to record stereo audio on my Nokia N93 and blown away. Time and time again, they made videos […]

Weekend Watch: Nokia Lumia 1020 films on a copter over Poland

Check out the 1020 clad copter. Nokia Poland had been teasing snippets of clips for a while and these are the shots that they’ve put together. I think they look great. There are parts where I think if they left it out could have looked even better (like where the motors are shaking the 1020 […]

Guardian and Dan Rubin crown Nokia Lumia 1020 in camera test against S4 Zoom, iPhone 5S and Z1. 1020 camera excels over iPhone

| November 8, 2013 | 3 Replies

    Quite a favourable review of the Nokia Lumia 1020. Great dynamic range, punchy colours, easy to take sharp pictures on zoom (in comparison, the Z1 which attempts to do zooming from pixels apparently produces pictures you wouldn’t want even if it was from 1999. Burn). Immediately Dan Rubin of the Photographic Journal notes […]
