Nokia will introduce its latest Lumia 920 & 820 handset at a special event with Microsoft on Wednesday September 5th, we have learned. Images of the Lumia 920 & 820 leaked last week and we have been able to confirm them with multiple sources. The Lumia 920 will be Nokia's new flagship Windows Phone and will include some impressive hardware specifications to match. According to sources familiar with the company's Windows Phone plans, Nokia is packaging wireless charging with its Lumia 920 & 820.

Lumia 920 wireless charging support will be provided via an inductive method — lining the device up to the contacts on a charging pad. We're told it will support the Qi wireless power standard — making it compatible with other wireless charging products. Aside from the charging aspect, Nokia's Lumia 920 will also include 32GB of device storage, 1GB of RAM, and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor. We have also been able to confirm that it will include a 4.5-inch HD display.

One rumored aspect of the Lumia 920 is a PureView camera. We can confirm that Nokia will indeed brand its Lumia 920 camera as PureView, but that the camera will be an 8-megapixel one — not the 41-megapixel one found on the company's 808 PureView handset. Nokia is focusing on marketing the Lumia 920 as PureView thanks to some advancements in image stabilization and camera software that it plans to ship on the device. The front of the device will also include a 1.3-megapixel camera.

Lumia 820 on the other hand, will come with 8GB of built-in storage. The company is providing a microSD slot to expand this further. The device will feature a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and 1GB RAM just like its big brother, the Lumia 920. The Lumia 820 also allows for interchangeable rear covers in different colours, just like the Lumia 710.

We can't help but wonder if these indeed are the codenamed Arrow (Lumia 820) and Phi (Lumia 920) devices that Nokia plans to unveil, or will they have some other arrows in their arsenal (bad pun, sorry!). We'll just have to wait and watch!

why people cares about apps that, much AFAIK every useful app is available for windows phone.

if the important everyday apps are there, nobody will complain.

really man every person just passes the comment that windows phone has less apps, but what special apps people use for android phone? huh Personally I use iOS.

Those days are already passed...Now see whats in present...When You got Droid which can never be beaten in customization<Custom Roms...> and even iDevices owners (except some guyz) also Jail break their devices ....Why? cuz they want full control over their devices..n in WP7(currently in market) are completely locked out... No custom ROMs etc..u only got few settings to play with and same will be done with WP8 devices(Restriction with some few more customizations)...Even I got boored after a week working in it(on HP Tablet PC <TouchScreen> and Sammy)...Limited to few customization and over..Now plz dont say that "The problem is it ain't Droid, Its WP8" .... So as apple fans do- pay loyal fees to apple n get iDevice doesn't work always..Can you expect under clocking or OC'ing the CPU in ur Mobile or Tablet(Who knows better than u ...u got CM9 on ur Dell XCD35 )...

if the important everyday apps are there, nobody will complain.

:agreed: Apps may be available, But will they be free of cost...You know, everyone Knows... Whats piracy.<Sorry if I violated Rules>
really man every person just passes the comment that windows phone has less apps, but what special apps people use for android phone
Yeah They do. cuz there are many apps available for a single purpose...For e.g you may find many social networking apps in droid or ios but there are few in WP...
special apps people use for android phone
App launchers, etc.. well it comes under customization....

PS- I donno want to raise another War here on WP vs. Droid vs. iOS.....

If one gets 30k lumia ..he just wont use it for making/receiving calls...
In terms of fluidity..JB does it well...wp tiles and so called metro/modern UI is just a eye candy...I got boored by wp7 in few mins man...but droid got potential...ics was awesome. n now jelly bean.ftw

okay, I don't have much idea about windows phone, I use iOS in my old iphone 4, i keep phones like a virgin no jail breaking stuff and all, as simple as I can keep. I used Xperia X10 before that and it sucks a lot, sony stuck me in android 1.6 for months. I will soon get some good phone in the end of this year may be new iphone 5, i just read news that its gonna be show case on 12 sept, can't wait!

What is the expected Price of the Yellow Piece ??

:rofl: yellow piece would cost 30k like Lumia 800 last year.

ok..I've been using omnia W for 4 months now, and it's as smooth as I expected. I'm not sure how the 710 with the same RAM and proccy spec can lag; maybe that's a faulty piece? Cos there are a few 710 user in our campus, never heard them complain about lag tbh.
You call metro UI as eye candy while many others consider it extremely useful and a refreshing change from the 1000s of identical looking droid UIs.

and the bold part just gave you away...man I've been following this forum for quite sometime now, and I'm tired seeing every windows phone thread being hijacked by some android fanboys. If you are so bored with WP, why bother commenting on them?
Call us crazy, but some of us really don't have that much time to fiddle around with our phones (C Roms and millions of apps). WP provides a stable, smooth experience with almost all the apps needed for daily use.Why don't we just appreciate it for once?

It was good step by Nokia not to integrate a Quad-Core proccy , instead stay put with a Dual Core.
Droids that have Quad-Core simply eat up too much , resulting in pathetic battery life.

I have also read that WP8 code is designed in such a way that it will utilize the hardware in much efficient manner than these Droids.Maybe we can expect improved battery life ..

Btw , the yellow thing is the Big brother , right ??? If yes then can we expect any WP8 under or around 20k ???

Btw , There will be no more of the "Patli Pin wala Charger." with this. :p :lol

Yea, the yellow one with sharp edges is big brother Lumia 920 and the red one with blunt edges is lumia 820 which will cost under 20k for sure.

Sep 5, 2012 at 2:48 AM
820 under 20k? 920's expected pricing is around 35k considering the specs. 820 should cost around 30k or maybe 28k.

GSMArena lists 920's camera to be 12MP or better. and both ships with HD display. though the specs are incomplete and there are surely a ton of errors, i feel 35k is fair pricing for 920. Moreover it is powered by Snapdragon S4 Plus which means Krait and this mobile won't come cheap.

Lumia 820 has simple TFT LCD screen, same like lumia 710 comes with lumia 800, 920 is replacing lumia 800 and 820 is replacing lumia 710 of 2011 segments so I would expect it would come under 20k. See, Nokia is selling 1Ghz phone for 6k so 1.5Ghz dual core krait for 20k is not surprising for me. This is not android phone so nokia would launch it for cheap, remember last year nokia 710 was with 1.4Ghz single core processor at such a low price.

So they are basically trying to target the upper high-end market in smartphone segment.?? I think , With a Tag of 35k+ and 28k+ , it will be head on head with top end Droids.

Have they thought anything good about the lower end devices , I mean those within 10k-20k bucks???

This is not android phone so nokia would launch it for cheap, remember last year nokia 710 was with 1.4Ghz single core processor at such a low price.

I thought logically , Droids should have been cheaper as they are open-source. Don't they charge any license fee for MS WP ??

Right now these two phones are gonna launch, no idea about cheaper ones. And as the condition of nokia right now, they need to stay in the market by its high specs and low prices. If they try to compete with high end android phones, they will bankrupt soon.

Samsung has already revealed its WP8 device in the market. Has that been successful till now ??
I don't know much about WP8 practically , but if it really proves the way it is on paper , then it really deserves the chance to show-off its efficiency.

The best thing I read about it , is that we can re-use the app codes from WP7 as well as most of the Windows 8 Desktop Ed , since it runs the same Kernel as current line of MS desktop . I.E. Windows NT , instead of Windows CE previously.

I believe we can port most of the apps directly from Windows 8 to WP8.

i think 920 is replacing 900 (which was never released here) and 820 is replacing 800. 710 will remain as it is, as of now. but the kind of resolution it has and if it really packs Pureview tech (no idea what kind of enhancement will work on 8MP camera), no way can it sell for less than 25k.

See, Nokia is selling 1Ghz phone for 6k so 1.5Ghz dual core krait for 20k is not surprising for me.

please do a bit of googling. Krait is better than tegra 3. it murders Exynos 4 Quads. and the 600Mhz processor on Explorer murders the 1Ghz on the Asha crap mobiles. its not about just clockspeed. you'll know better as nowadays mobiles have evolved to computer/laptop level including the processor design methodology.

This is not android phone so nokia would launch it for cheap, remember last year nokia 710 was with 1.4Ghz single core processor at such a low price.

710 is still selling cheap. Nokia knows how they sell the mobile for such low pricing. but with Windows Phone you pay license fee to M$. The processor is extremely restricted and so is the memory and other things. this limit where they can cut price else Samsung would have launched a Omnia Young priced at 6-7k by now packing a 3" crappy display.

But better to limit talks about upcoming mobile for now as both their specs are not confirmed. Every site has their own set of specification.

So they are basically trying to target the upper high-end market in smartphone segment.?? I think , With a Tag of 35k+ and 28k+ , it will be head on head with top end Droids.

if you got to tell the world that you are back, you need to shout at the top of the voice. yes it'll go head to head against the droids and if it fails, its game over for Nokia. Not everyone like Android.

Have they thought anything good about the lower end devices , I mean those within 10k-20k bucks???

read in softpedia that Lumia 610's successor is coming with WP7.8 which means no WP8 for lowend (or even midrange mobiles) for now. Once the highend ones are out, surely Nokia will launched midrange mobiles but maybe lowend (sub 15k) ones will have to content with WP7.8 and Tango which also means no memory card, no BT sharing, Zune dependency, etc. And more late is Nokia bringing lowend WP8 mobiles, more money they'll loose.

I thought logically , Droids should have been cheaper as they are open-source. Don't they charge any license fee for MS WP ??

open source but android is not same as Windows. It is not possible to take a mobile and flash Android. It takes time to compile and test for stability, bugs. Moreover all manufactures have the habit of adding a UI layer on top and their own apps so cost is mainly for R&D.

Who knows this better than Samsung ? , after being screwed up by Apple and coughing up 1+BnUS$. haha :p

But stiill the cost of License for a WP8 should be more expensive than Droid UI. Which I think should make it more complicated to reduce the price on WP8. Will have to look on stats though to be precise for this comparison.

yea! it sounds really cool! As microsoft planned for the one OS and apps policy for tab, cell, and PC in near future. So, its the good beginning by windows 8.

Yeah , a centric platform will decrease the PITA for application developers. Maybe we can expect lot more apps on Windows 8 platform.

you may update your OS once a new version comes out, but do you update your handset every time a better version is available?
and similarly for other things also..
technology will move on at it's own breakneck pace..that doesn't mean we will need to follow it just for the sake of keeping us updated

I brought Omnia to get the 7.5 experience, so I am not disappointed for not getting 8 on my mobile, cos my usage pattern wont change significantly

Anyway, lets stop this discussion here

It won't be launched in India (the 920) as its an LTE device. As the Lumia 900 never made it to India, 920 also most probably won't. Wait for info on 820, that will definitely come to India. Anyway no pricing details given out yet by Nokia and 820 also yet to be announced.

185grams? what have they included? S4 with cooler and heatsink? or packed 1GB desktop ram module.

both are powered by Kraits. Means both will have a asking price of above 30. 820 should cost 27-28k as it packs less internal memory, WVGA display.

The only thing it has is extreme Image Stabilization but an 8.7 MP cam compared to the massive 41MP in 808 Pureview.

From the specs in gsmarena, 820 supports micro sd. they might have dropped sd card support for 920 as it has 32gb of inbuilt memory.

Why do you think people compare Windows and MAC ? Its just the same reason.

AFA , WP8 is concerned. Its pretty optimized and is futuristic IMO.
The futuristic approach of WP8 beats Android.

@Sam I know everything krait processor, I'm one of the first who discuss the performance about this processor, yes it is better than tegra 3 but not surpass exynos quad core performance of galaxy note 2.
So, do you think nokia is good enough to compete with android phones like Galaxy S3, note 2 and upcoming Xperia TX? Just because by putting krait processor doest mean the phone would price much, as I said nokia should launch high specs phones (krait S4) with low price tag to stay in market.

In reviews I'm completely sure that the pureview image stablization is awesome thing, nokia always set benchmarks for the best camera phone like N73. N79, N86( 8MP). N8 with incredible 12MP camera which is still much better than Xperia S's gimmick 12MP camera and now Nokia Pureview 808's 41MP camera.

I am a fan of rounded corners. There are too many squarish phones these days. HTC One S and X and Lumia 820 are among my favourites. Also, Nokia's colours are unique. You will not mistake a Nokia phone for any other simply because of the colours.

They showed videos shot with a pro camera to mislead people and make people think highly of their Pureview tech when in reality its nothing but marketing bull****.

@rider

There is no way these phones will be priced in the range you are guessing. 920 should be around 35k ballpark and 820 around 29, as Sam already mentioned.

Pure view tech is really good , specially if the sensor is large. However the maximum image sensor that it can handle has limit of 20 MegaPixel.
It also has image stabilization feature to note slightest change.

Anything exceeding 35k INR will be a big-time failure for Nokia , considering their current market situation.I think they should price 820 at around 22-25k at max.

Though Nokia has done some golmal in the new WP8 pure view model as per the news.

The New 920 lacks a bigger sensor , so don't expect anything like 808. The main feature is its "floating lens" tech. and not oversampling unlike 808.

Seems a different kind of pure view in 920 than in 808.

nokia apologized for not being clear

An apology is due – Nokia Conversations : the official Nokia blog

so they are not trying to fool us

Here is the video shown at the press conference shot using a Lumia 920. On the right is a Lumia 920 prototype with OIS. On the left is a smartphone without OIS. The difference is apparent




Lumia 920
No News about SD Card support(32/16 is enough..), No news about Bluetooth file transfer support. No Prices or availability dates revealed.
The only thing it has is extreme Image Stabilization but an 8.7 MP cam compared to the massive 41MP in 808 Pureview.

it has 32 gb , no microsd support but 32 gb is more than enough so no worries + WP8 supports BT file transfer. It also supports NFC and WiFi Direct.

Nokia takes photo challengers against the Lumia 920 PureView, crushes the iPhone, GS3



Lumia 920 camera specs
Nokia PureView camera
Touch focus
Landscape orientation
Geo-tagging
Auto and manual white balance
Still image editor
Optical Image Stabilization
Lenses applications
Sensor size 1/3 inch
Sensor type: BSI
True 16:9 sensor
Pixel size 1.4 µm

People are belittling lumia 920 because it does not have a pureview 808's 41mp but look at the sample pics and you'll understand that its a brilliant camera and it does not have the bulge of the 808

@Sam I know everything krait processor, I'm one of the first who discuss the performance about this processor, yes it is better than tegra 3 but not surpass exynos quad core performance of galaxy note 2.
So, do you think nokia is good enough to compete with android phones like Galaxy S3, note 2 and upcoming Xperia TX? Just because by putting krait processor doest mean the phone would price much, as I said nokia should launch high specs phones (krait S4) with low price tag to stay in market.

krait quad will beat exynos quad and 920 is not going to be cheap because of pureview tech, be sure of that

^
It won't be launched in India (the 920) as its an LTE device. As the Lumia 900 never made it to India, 920 also most probably won't. Wait for info on 820, that will definitely come to India. Anyway no pricing details given out yet by Nokia and 820 also yet to be announced.

i believe the international version of 920 will be launched in india like 900 was launched in europe. the reason 900 was not launched in india because it was too late to launch the 900 in july-aug with wp8 launch near

Call us crazy, but some of us really don't have that much time to fiddle around with our phones (C Roms and millions of apps). WP provides a stable, smooth experience with almost all the apps needed for daily use.Why don't we just appreciate it for once?

A WP user here. Totally agree with you. All this rooting , custom rom junkies dont seem to get the point of a super smooth phone which just works. A phone is not a PC!

There is no mid segment Win8 device this year, only next year. I don't expect to see 820 below 29k in India that too around December.

And also it was quite clear the photo quality isn't great when there was no mention of anything to do with photo quality. OIS, lens app, low light performance. Nothing about how the pureview tech works in this phone. And also something that a lot of guys seem to overlook is this phone has a 1/3" sensor - the same size as Iphone 4S/Galaxy S2/Xperia S/Galaxy S3/Note/One X. There is no way this phone will offer GREAT photo quality. And I think even Nokia acknowledges this fact which is why it had to resort to lies and also the reason why we still haven't seen a 1080p same shot with the 920 nor full size 8mp stills.

Within hours of the 808 pureview announcement the Internet was filled with Full 41 MP sample photos and videos, but its almost a day since the 920 announcement and we have seen no REAL photo or video from the 920.

See, you said half knowledge is dangerous. Then you shouldn't have told me that the flash comes on detect ISO if you were not sure. A camera does not use Flash to detect ISO. And if that guy is saying it's to detect ISO he is only lying. When the flash comes on he can see how the picture is being framed and if it's in focus and correct the shot. Whereas on the Iphone 4S he can't see much and he cannot be sure whether the shot is in focus or if the pic will come out blurry or not.

"Shooting an arrow in the dark" as they say. Everything Nokia is showing or saying is fake. Really sad to see Nokia do this.

Actually 820 is not the flagship its meant to be a budget device. They have cut corners with the screen, camera and body. If you think krait will be raising the price then expect wp to fall again coz all wp phones will have s4 this gen. They will have to have aggressive pricing in order to get back into a predominated market.

No some apps wil remain NOKIA exclusive for first few months (that is they'll be available only on Lumias) after that they'll be available in general for all other WP phones !


How come that become nokia's falldown ?Actually they are already 'down' so no more down falls ! Even if WP fails they do have a plan B like NOKIA themselves said !
Wp8 is still in the making its not complete , as of yet only new features are listed they've not been implemented fully functionaly . Like ballmer said at the launch event it'd take atleast two more months to reach its full maturity and phones to come out . Samsung launches ativ as the first WP8 device but did'nt have any prototype for hands on they only showed as some pics - why ? because wp8 is not ready ! Even during its event nokia askes reviwers not to stray away much from the Home screen (which The Verge clearly notes). Even Nokia said that their hardware is ready but there is still lot to do in the software integration part - how can you expect them to take shots with premature software rather they just showed us what kind of a difference image stabilisation couls bring to the table.

GPS has got nothing to do with security concerns. Just like the way you have maps of a city, suberb or a locality. With indoor maps you will have maps of buildings so finding something using maps will be easy using GPS.

Yup thats what i was saying its a pre release software not final so one cannot expect them to take sample shot with unfinished software to demonstrate how good the camera is !

I had Nokia 6630 , Nokia n95 -8Gb , both of them were like brick.

185Grams is okay For a Top-end Nokia Smartphone.

thicker or heavier i find it absolutely gorgeous if htc's 8x fails to impress i am definitely getting this (920) in an year or so !

Thicker. Have a look at this comparision.
I think the weight is because of PREMIUMED material used. Its camera is covered with Ceramic and its unibody polycarbonate adds the weight making it tough.

Galaxy S2 is indeed light but its plastic looks CHEAP compared to quality material used in Lumia 900 and then Lumia 920 makes a very good grip and is comfortable to hold.

I think anything slimmer than iPhone 4s will make grip difficult and uncomfortable. With Galaxy S2 I find it very difficult to make grip while taking photographs

thicker or heavier i find it absolutely gorgeous if htc's 8x fails to impress i am definitely getting this in an year or so !

Instead of Xperia ION you should get LG Optimus G Lightening which is more powerful Galaxy S3 and made up of premiumed quality material. If Lumia 920 turns out to be failure (which I don't think will happen) I will go for LG Optimus G

Mate i was saying i'd get 920 NOT ion . I already have bought HOX so no more droids untill my HOX gives up !
And about optimus G - i know its the best arround atleast in paper but do you really think that it'd launch here anytime soon because even dual core kraits are still to come to india let alone the newer quad core ones !!!!!

Good choice I already made up my mind that I will buy a Lumia Windows 8 handset with multi-core and HD. So 920 exceeds my expectation with its camera and screen type. Although I was bit disappointed that they didn't use AMOLED.

No worries mate - Puremotion HD+ is the best LCD screen out there (except for 15:9 aspect ratio which would be slight pain in watching videos) right now dont know how it compares to SAMOLEDs gotta see it in person to tell !

40-50 grams are no big deal

The aspect ratio is perfect, that extra width will be helpful in typing as it will add another line on the screen when the Keyboard is activated

Best thing is that since wp8 shares the same kernel as that of its desktop counterpart , most win 8 metro apps will be ported to win RT and eventually wp8 !

So, I am using a Lumia 820 since two days and it is an upgrade worth doing from Lumia 800. I don't want to type again so you can read my review here.
