2012-11-13
hey there this is Adam Lane with puck now calm I've got the Lumia 920 from Nokia over here and the Windows Phone 8x from HTC over here we're going to take a look at the differences between these devices both are available on AT&T right now and let's check out okay first up we're gonna look at the specs on the Lumia 920 and the Windows Phone 8x so I've got them both loaded here and you can see there's quite a difference in the sizes right there this one's much thinner you see the thickness there you also see the weight difference 130 grams versus 185 scroll down a little more we have the processor difference both are about 1.5 gigahertz dual-core but we have a slightly different processor type over here we have one gig of ram same for it here we have 16 gigs of storage 32 well 29 gigs of storage over here and here's our screen type is a color IPS TFT and over here we have a Super LCD - and you see this size differences four and a half inches 4.3 the resolution differences 720 by 1280 over here 768 by 1280 over here so this is a little bit wider and this is a skinnier one over there now let's scroll some more you see our radio support and everything else that you would expect bluetooth Wi-Fi all that's there both of these are available at 18 t so we're gonna just look at those prices you see this one is 199 with a two-year contract and this one it's only 99 with a two-year contract and you can see the color options available here and for some reason we don't see color options on that one okay next let's look at benchmarks let's see how fast this processor goes both are 1.5 gigahertz so dual-core that should be pretty close and you see the tests are going pretty quickly however already you see the processor was a little bit faster on the Lumia 920 but the data was a little bit faster on the Windows Phone 8x now we're doing the GPU tests and we should be done any second see this one's in 24 frames per second same over there and here we are so you see a slightly higher score on the Lumia 920 okay now let's look at the displays because we have a different display technology in both these see if we can see any difference both are looking pretty good I think the blacks are blacker over here let's look at the black test very close a little bit blacker here and we also we also have lighting an issue and let's try the weights the white here I'm thinking might be a little warm or is this white it's a little cool but they're pretty close color ramp see any banding not really pretty good gradients looking good here too now let's do the display angle pretty good keeping the color consistent there so both displays are running very nicely now let's talk about the camera a little bit optical image stabilization over here so that means you can do better low-light pictures because it kind of keeps the lens day and let's just look at a picture there's one I just took this is the same scene very dark and you can see what the 8x did I mean you can barely even see the edge of the mug that's the edge of the mug right there a very small highlight and you can see what the Lumia 920 did both are pretty dark but obviously we got a better quality image over here at least for that purpose now let's look at what kind of software customizations HTC has given us and Nokia has given us so all of the brand apps are going to be available in these different stores some are going to be bundled with the device but some are going to be free downloads so HTC has the HTC hub connection setup flashlight photo enhancer and converter there's also a few little customizations here there's the HTC others Beats Audio amplifier so you get really good music over here you also have the attentive phone feature where you can flip it over to silence or ring that kind of thing but over here on on the Nokia collection we have a lot of custom apps from Nokia some are actually other brands like Groupon and The Weather Channel but they're customized a little bit and exclusive to Nokia for a little while so you see we have all sorts of stuff here we have the Nokia Drive GPS navigation program which works good with Windows Phone 8 we have Nokia Maps note' transit for doing subway train instructions bus schedules we have a special ESPN app we have some nice camera lenses of photo editing program city lens nokia music for free music downloads panoramic and we don't really have much over there on the HTC side the only really cool one is the big clock live tile which gives you weather as well okay next let's look at the browsing the Lumia seems a little bit smoother on the panning you zoom in on one of these that was pretty quick and he can tell that the screen is more sensitive on the Lumia 920 oh that's pretty much the same both of these are on Wi-Fi because this is an international version doesn't have LTE now I'm going to bring a glove in here okay so I have a glove over my finger the leather part doesn't oh well sometimes it does I guess so that can control the screen I can tap that but over here I got nothing okay lastly let's just take it I showed you the specs but we'll take a good look around these devices there's the back that's how those look you can see the thickness difference that's a quick look at the Nokia Lumia 920 and the Windows Phone 8x from HTC I'm sure to give this video a thumbs up and let us know which you like better in the comments you
