what's up fries five fans I'm Brian Tommy we haven't shown Windows Phone Belov yet but this battle is all about the new kid on the block it's a prize five punch out between Nokia Lumia 920 and HTC Windows Phone 8x our judges for this fight are senior editor Brian bad boy Bennet senior editor Jessica the people's gold court and you know who really named home now we'll take all three judges scores and it averages them out to the nearest tenth each round the final prizefight score would be an average of all rounds using the same system it's a five round throwdown round one is design the Nokia Lumia 920 brings a retro poppy art feeling with its unique body shape and design and it's 4.5 inch 332 pixel per inch display that pops but this is a surprisingly thick phone when you hold it with a slippery surface and a heavyweight now HTC is Windows Phone 8x brings a much sleeker and slimmer profile with its smaller 4.3 inch screen but makes up for it with a slightly higher 342 pixels per inch display its curved backside has a soft touch feel to it and it's also more comfortable to hold the Lumia 920 might have a little more personality but we're giving the ATC 8x a 4.7 and the 920 of for next rounds controls a user interface both phones bring a similar layout with volume and camera buttons in the same location now the Lumia 920 decided to put its power button in the center on the side which can feel a little odd since it's on the same side as the volume rocker now we preferred the power button at the top on the HTC 8x both phones bring the same Windows Phone 8 software with its smooth and modern tile interface then I'm a big fan of and it's horizontal screens when you're inside of apps plus you'll also have the ability to customize the size of tiles and then pin them to your home screen now don't knock it if you haven't tried it but we're fans of the clean and refreshing windows we're calling this round a tie at four and after averaging two rounds the 8x leads four point four to four next round of kickers this is really the round with the Lumia 920 separates itself from the HTC 8x now Nokia brings the most advanced Windows Phone 8 device to date with its wireless charging capabilities a high screen sensitivity feature that allows you to use the screen without any specialty gloves and a glare reducing screen filter that isn't just a gimmick plus a suite of Nokia apps and services that add more value now Windows Phone 8 brings Bing search that's easily accessible and can use your location listen to music or scan barcodes for results but as an operating system Windows Phone still has to play some catch up with the absences of a default voice navigation a camera panorama and really more than anything it's missing some of the top apps that you'll find on other platforms it's the Nokia Lumia 920 that really the table and against of five and the ACC Windows Phone 8x gets a four round for is web browser multi media you'll see a theme here but it's Nokia that really tries to bring something more than the basic Windows Phone experience web browsing is exactly the same with tabbed browsing and the ability to pin a favorite sites to the home page and the Windows Phone store offers apps games and music but the video selection is a little sparse now the HTC 8x brings Beats Audio enhancement technology but the Lumia 920 brings better camera quality when comparing similar camera shops it's a larger screen and glare reduction filter makes a difference and it's Nokia Music app that caches songs for offline listening and the Nokia Drive app give it the edge here the Lumia 920 gets a 5 and the ACC 8x gets a 4 doctor averaging four rounds nokia is taking the lead after trailing the final round that decides malt is called quality and performance both of these phones bring the same processor operating system and 4G LTE connectivity and we were happy with a snappy responsiveness of the operating system now the Lumia 920 also brings 32 gigs of storage for $99 compared to the HTC 8x with 16 gigs of internal storage for $199 call quality always varies depending on multiple conditions but audio quality was solid for both phones so in the final round we're giving Nokia the edge one more time with the 4.3 and the 8x of 4 so let's average out all 5 rounds and in a battle with an ATC Windows Phone 8x jump to an early lead the Nokia Lumia 920 came back strong could not be stopped and take this price bite 4.5 to 4.2 and is your prize fight winner Windows Phone continues to get better and better and you guys can bat 2013 will be a make-it-or-break-it here i'm brian chong spacewalking we'll catch you guys next time for another PI's fire
