Nokia Lumia 920 & 820 - Windows Phone 8

2012-09-05
hey guys Austin and today Muse the first look at the brand-new Nokia Lumia 920 and 820 is some of the first Windows Phone 8 devices to be launched these have a lot going for them so let's take a look to start with let's go over the flagship the Lumia 920 and the first thing is that it keeps the same one-piece polycarbonate design and that's a thumbs up on my book so of course if you take a look at it's gonna look fairly similar to the previous generation however that's not a bad thing at all is those were some of the best looking phones out there plus it's got some new colors like this yellow come on that's got my name written all over it it's also got a Nokia pure motion HD plus display great name huh it's not like I just took 20 takes to get that name right or anything of course not this is a 4.5 inch panel with a resolution of 1280 by 768 which is just like 720p except it's 768 P because Nokia is special beyond that it does have a couple of cool features so you can use it with gloves on which is not something you can do with a lot of other smartphones it's also supposedly got higher refresh rates than any other smartphone out there internally you're going to find a 1.5 gigahertz dual-core Snapdragon s4 processor and this is pretty much the best of the best right now and its really nice to see that Windows Phone is finally going to be expanding from just single core processors I know that was kind of a little bit of an issue for a while beyond that's also going to have a 2000 million power battery which should give it plenty of battery life for a full day of usage and it's also got NFC built in the 920 also features wireless charging so it looks like it's finally time to retire that Palm Pre of yours of course this is going to be very simple thing so basically you just take your 920 you put it on a variety of different surfaces so for example Nokia's going to be selling a dock and there's also this pillow so you can put your phone on a pillow and it charges wirelessly one of the more impressive things to me is a pure view camera no no this isn't going to be a 42 megapixel behemoth but it still does have 8.7 megapixels to work with the real cool thing here is that it does have optical image stabilization this is a first for smartphones and what it means is that there are tangle springs built into the lens of the camera so let's say that you're taking a picture and low light almost cell phone cameras want to go ahead and keep the flash on as there's just not enough light over the 920 actually cannot use the flash and because it has those Springs to kind of keep your image stable you can have a longer exposure and get you a better low-light picture this is also great for video now that the 920 can handle full 1080p HD so again those little tiny Springs are going to help make your image a little bit clearer so when you're holding around yourself there's gonna be less wobbling less shaking and better quality moving on to the little brother we have the Nokia Lumia 820 like all the brothers it didn't get all the cool Big Brother toys so it's only got a 4.3 inch display with a resolution of 480 by 800 beyond that though the 820 does share most of the same specs so you are gonna have a few changes so for example you will get removable backs with the 820 and that will allow you to get at the slightly smaller battery as well as add a micro SD card now unfortunately there are going to be a few things missing like NFC hope you can get that back if you decide to go buy an nfc-enabled backplate so kind of cool little bit of customization it's always nice to be able to get at a micro SD card and change the battery both phones are using the new Windows Phone 8 operating system now I'll go to in depth on this for the most part it's fairly similar to Windows Phone 7 however there are some cool changes like the home screens are now much more customizable probably the biggest thing for me though is now based on the new windows 8 kernel so what this means that you can design an app for Windows 8 desktop and then you can pour it over to a Windows 8 tablet and then you can pour it over to a Windows 8 phone it's all going to be fairly similar unfortunately no key didn't get into specifics as far as release day or price although I definitely don't expect it to be very long when this phone is expected to launch in the middle of October anyway I'm curious to know what do you guys think about the new Lumia 920 and 820 firstly the 820 the lower resolution screen kind of kills it for me but the 920 has my name written all over it I can't wait to get my hands on that but again definitely be sure to let me know what you think in the comments below anyway guys if you enjoyed be sure to leave a thumbs up if you're interested in more videos on the Nokia Lumia 920 be sure to subscribe
