I'm jessica's all court for cnet and this is the Nokia Lumia 920 or as I like to call it the Incredible Hulk this is a windows phone running the new windows phone 8 operating system and I just want to start by talking about the physical body and design because when you pick it up in real life that is the first thing on your mind it looks a lot like the original nokia lumia 900 it's got sort of bezel here in a very black screen and buttons on the side volume power and camera button it's also really stylized and sculpted with a flat top and bottom rounded sides one difference here is that the back is also a curvier so it's actually a lot more comfortable to hold the original Lumia 900 felt really flat so there was this empty space but this kind of curves and contours to your hand the flip side of that is that it also looks really thick and bulky it's a very heavy device 6.5 ounces significantly heavier than the original Lumia and a lot heavier than other phones on the market so when you pick this up you know you're picking it up you can't comfortably put it in your pocket I carry a lot of funds in my back pocket but this one always felt thick and bulgy and very uncomfortable on the plus side it is a nice looking device and when that Nokia obviously put a lot of care into it's got this 4.5 inch HD display nokia is calling it the pure motionplus display unlike the original lumia this one it uses LCD technology and supposed to adjust and bright sunlight if you've got the screen sets you high sensitivity you can unlock it and operate it using your fingernail or even a pair of gloves now the version I have here is the white color it also comes in black cyan bright yellow and red this one is very glossy in fact it's really slippery in the hand and I how kind of a hard time picking it up from a desk and gripping it but the black and cyan version should come with a matte finish so that should be a little bit more groupable AT&T is going to have the exclusive on this phone it does come with 4G LTE of course it also comes with a 1.5 gigahertz dual-core Qualcomm snapped again s4 processor which is nice and fast and it's got 32 gigabytes of on-board storage on the front there's one megapixel camera on the back there's an 8.7 megapixel camera that uses carl zeiss optics and nokia's pureview algorithm I did find that low light pictures were pretty good just using the automatic settings and other pictures were also good there were some hint and some misc I would say it's a good camera but it isn't necessarily hands down the best maybe not the way that Nokia would like now nokia has added some specialized apps on here to help differentiate this product from all the other windows phones there's nokia sig lens which is an augmented reality app there's nokia drive it's in beta and that supplies turn-by-turn voice directions that is not native to Windows Phone there's also Nokia Maps and Nokia Music which kind of has a Pandora like feature for music mixing you can also download some of those playlists for offline listening so that when you don't have any data it's cached and you can listen to your songs and there's one other differentiator as well wireless charging using BG charging standard but this is already built into the phone's back panel you'll be able to set the phone down on any compatible Qi wireless charging ports and charge your phone without having to plug a cord directly into your handset overall when you look at the specs the Nokia Lumia 920 has a lot of really good ones got this beautiful screen got a lot of the high-end features on here and wireless charging definitely adds something different so does the Nokia turn-by-turn directions however what I think is going to turn people away most going to be the weight of it and so the heft and also the dimensions it is pretty big and it is pretty bulky so people who want to thinner phone this is not the one for you if that doesn't scare you like Windows Phone 8 and you love the idea of all the other things that Nokia brings to the table then I think this is going to be a good fit I'm jessica's all court for cnet this has been the Nokia Lumia 920 for AT&T you
