For some reason we get excited when we see a product we love featured in mainstream media. Whether it is in a movie, a TV show, a news report, a music video etc. In Jennifer Lopez’s new song, Live It Up, what do we see? A shiny glossy white Nokia Lumia 920. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BofL1AaiTjo Now, we [...]
Our buddy Sam got a quick video showing off the double tap to wake feature on both the Lumia 920 and the 925, some were skeptical about it coming to the 920 due to needing some “hardware optimization” but it apparently works just fine. The real question is how will an always on screen fair? [...]
Phew, I’m just about to head off to clinic but I’ve got a minute or two to share this video. Since you’ve seen a few hands on before we’ll focus more towards what’s seen on the end of the video which is a short demo of how holding the phone whichever way you like [...]
Here’re a collection of videos showing off the new features in the Nokia Smart Camera:
A user over at the WPC forums claims to have had a Lumia 928 for a while now, and was nice enough to share some images and videos, and WOW! The results of the High Fidelity recording are mind-blowing! The sound reproduction is astounding! (put on a pair of headphones and check out the videos below, and lets not forget [...]
Here’s the first official promo of the Lumia 928, showing off the usual slew of Nokia features, plus the low light performance. (Video is unlisted so you might have to follow the link to view it) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mg7RiWMYwUg Unfortunately there’s no mention of tap to unlock, nor any new apps :/
Here’re a pair of quirky promos for the 501; filled with loads of swiping goodness: Smarter Internet:
Nokia’s policy has always been not to talk about unannounced devices. There may be little teasers but nothing so explicit as perhaps the site launch yesterday and now sample videos! The next Nokia Lumia is coming and we are excited to unveil it soon. In the meantime, enjoy a preview of what’s in store. We [...]
It seems like someone over at Redmond has been very busy, besides the completely overhauled Youtube app the official Foursquare app for WP8 has also just received a complete refresh. The app co-developed by Nokia and Microsoft is NOT a lumia exclusive, but apparently Lumia users get some extra love in the form of “feature optimizations” [...]
The Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Phone Smartphone War Wedding Video was a bit of a hit. Over 4 million views so far. Here’s a look at the behind the scenes making of that video. The aim was to let the audience know there’s a legitimate third choice out there, Engadget’s Winner of Reader’s Choice for Best [...]
It appears I seem to have missed this pretty cool video that was published mid-April (I can’t seem to find a post on it). Nokia have strapped a Nokia Lumia 920 to some free runners as well as this insane looking contraption of an octocopter! Aargh, my palms of my hands are getting sweaty and [...]
It’s become sort of tradition for manufacturers nowadays to release a “design story” alongside their phones, Apple have got it pretty good with Mr. Ives and their crisp white backgrounds, but sometimes it just feels forced. Like Samsung’s take on the S4 design story below, this has got to be one of the worst [...]
Hello MNB Readers! I couldn’t pass up sharing these YouTube videos from the Camera Check Channel (CCC). There is a lot of flexibility with the 808 PureView’s large sensor and Carl Zeiss optics. Even after having my 808 for a month, I am still learning how to best utilize all of the camera options and usage scenarios [...]
The Lumia 520′s America cousin, the 521 is set to hit US shores in the next few days; according to an announcement by T-Mobile the phone will be available for purchase online as well as 3rd party retailers and Official Microsoft stores for a dirt cheap $149.95 (Off contract and fully paid). The Windows Phone 8 smartphone will be bundled [...]
Just a couple minutes ago we posted about the official Tumblr app finally being available for WP8; well here’s a quick video walk-through/Demo of the app since I got a couple requests for it previously. I really love the way the Gif play in stream along side the still images; it makes the app look very [...]
Check this out! At first I was like, “What’s this artsy fartsy thing they’re doing now” but when it came to the reveal it turns out the graffiti was in the shape of the Nokia Logo, containing Nokia’s 400,000+ twitter followers. Can you see your name on there? It’s a great idea. I might give this [...]
Our buddy SamPullen did a nice video comparing the Lumia 920 with its OIS video recording, against the lumia 820 on one of the Shire’s bumpy roads; check out the results down below: For the sake of science here’s the same recording but with the 920 and 820 clips reversed

Hello MNB readers! We all know how revolutionary the 41MP Sensor, Carl Zeiss lens and PureView algorithms are in the 808 but there is still an obvious area of improvement: Image Stabilization. More specifically, Optical Image Stabilization, or OIS, where the actual optics are stabilized by the hardware. The Lumia 920 was the first phone to have [...]
With Nokia’s cheapest Lumia for WP8, the Nokia Lumia 520, launching around the globe, some of you may be interested in knowing how it physically compares with the Lumia 620, the former budget Lumia, as well as the mid-range Lumia 720, which some are saying is one of the best in its category. Yash [...]
