at long last it is time to unbox the Nokia Lumia 920 previously the flagship Windows Phone until the HTC 8x came out but this guy is still from what I hear a very good phone and a good value at 99 bucks with contracts we actually had to have Microsoft FedEx s1 so we don't have like a box but so there's some kind of box in here I've been looking forward to this phone actually I wonder what color we got I'm not gonna cheat we're just gonna open it and see oh we got black wah wah um you guys this is a giant brick of a phone it is so heavy I cannot believe it Wow alright before we end look texting and driving it can wait I'm all over this campaign of 18 T's let's see what else we have in the box we have oh look I like this they're actually telling me that it's the sim door key with a little sign and it's Nokia branded see what else we have down here oh it looks like we have our own NFC tag also nice with a little explainer about what NFC is they're trying to make this beginner friendly which i think is actually quite smart we have a pretty good how-to on programming your own NFC tags from always-on with sharing back then you want to check that out we have our product and safety information here our power brick which is actually kind of big well they're not that surprising since the phone itself is kind of big very short little charging cable and that will do it for the box let's have a look at this phone now I've heard that this phone is pretty big but dudes it's so fat and beefy and once again continuing our beginner friendly theme we've got stickers all over the back telling us what the various ports are and the various buttons I could say I am kind of loving this I was loving it until I thought it was like a real sticker got the camera front and center it's a pretty highly touted camera eight point seven megapixels with a Carl Zeiss lens and I kind of like the orientation of the camera right here it says you can get right to taking pictures I'm gonna turn it on and go through some setup here while we wait for it to come on let's do some specs the Nokia Lumia 920 has a 4.5 inch LCD display with a 1280 by 768 pixel resolution that is full HD I don't usually talk about the size and weight of a phone but in this case I think it's relevant to know that it weighs six point five ounces it's a little bit of a brick it's powered by a 1.5 gigahertz Qualcomm Snapdragon s4 dual-core processor with just one gig of onboard ram so it'll be fast but not blazing fast the screen is covered in Gorilla Glass that the company says is scratch resistant it does support 4G LTE and of course it runs Windows Phone OS 8 the camera is eight point seven megapixels it has a Carl Zeiss lens and a flash and it can record 1080p video it's an impressive camera although some of our reviewers found that the photos aren't as good as you might expect there's a 1 megapixel front facing camera which I find a little disappointing in terms of connectors you have micro USB for charging and data and a three-and-a-half millimeter Universal audio connector there's also micro USB 2.0 onboard unfortunately no HDMI support the battery is a somewhat wimpy two thousand milliamp now Nokia says that will give you nine hours of talk time but our testing has found quite a bit less than that you don't have to live in the cloud with this phone there are 32 gigs of on-board storage and it starts at just $99 with a new contract and is only for 49 unlocked the Nokia Lumia 920 is a pretty serious phone it is big it is beefy it's got the specs to back it up though and at $99 I actually think this is a great way to get into the Windows Mobile operating system it's pretty fun to use
