Lumia 920: the characteristic. Nokia Lumia 920 phone: description

The output of the Nokia Lumia 920 smartphone caused the greatest interest among users of the global telephone network. The device with a diagonal of the case of 5.8 inches embodied all the actual innovations, trends and technologies of the modern market. No wonder the popularity of the phone Lumia 920 was in no way inferior to the flagships of such brands as Samsung and NTS.

General characteristics

The 920 model differs primarily in performance. The Qualcomm S4 chipset with two 1.5 GHz cores is responsible for this feature. Also refers to the pluses of the Lumia 920 integrated memory card. Its volume is as much as 32 GB. RAM standard, as in all new devices Nokia - 1 GB.

The screen diagonal is 4.5 inches. There is an increased sensitivity and the availability of a special protective glass. The camera boasts fast autofocus and optics. Surprising in Lumia 920 video streaming characteristics. The owner of the phone can shoot in FullHD format without losing quality.
The smartphone supports more than 20 wireless interfaces in a wide range of frequencies. It should be noted worthy battery capacity and the presence of a multilanguage program.

External characteristics

The dimensions of the body are 13 by 7.1 cm. The thickness of the device is just over 10 mm. Weight varies from the type of body and accessories. Clean - about 185 g. According to the characteristics described above, we can conclude that the device is more suitable for men, since it is quite massive and heavy.

Of the main features of the design is to highlight a convex screen, which slightly protrudes above the level of the case. True, in previous models this was much more evident.

The back panel is represented by a matte cover. This is also one of the advantages, since in the 900th version of the flagship the surface was glossy. On her were the stains and fingerprints, and in hot or humid weather the device slipped noticeably in her hand. To the touch the case is as if made of cheap plastic. The control buttons (volume, power and camera) are located on the right side. For many users it is very convenient, especially for lefties. The headphone jack, like the built-in microphone, is in the upper area of the case. The disadvantage of the device is the inconvenience of inserting a micro-SIM card. This procedure requires a needle or a thin clip, which is in the basic set. This innovation of developers "Nokia" is only puzzling.

At the bottom of the device is a connector for micro-USB and speakers. Under the display on the front panel is a branded Windows button, which is a company logo.

Screen Features

The new Nokia device supports the display resolution of 768 by 1280 pixels. This is the first model that has moved away from the usual 480 × 800. The Lumia 920 screen is quite large and convenient. Its diagonal is 11.5 cm (4.5 inches).

The front surface of the display is a smooth glass plate. Its main function is to protect it from minor scratches. The built-in anti-glare filter is also integrated in the screen, which significantly reduces the brightness of the projected reflections. On the outer surface there is a special coating with an oleophobic film to prevent fingerprints from appearing on the display. Thanks to her, you can quickly remove any stains. Manual brightness control allows you to obtain optimum performance from 62 to 380 cd / sq. M. As a result, you can read the text from the screen without problems, both in the daytime and at night. It is noteworthy that instead of the traditional brightness slider in the 920-th model is built a banal controller of three points: maximum, medium and minimum. But the adjustment of auto-illumination by the sensor works perfectly. This is the optimal solution for users who can not quickly navigate at a suitable level of brightness in a particular environment.

The display device is based on the IPS-matrix. Thanks to this technology, it has large display angles without any inverting the picture and shifting the colors. It is worth highlighting and high contrast - 665: 1. In turn, and color coverage is in no way inferior to the famous sRGB technology. During testing, there was no significant deviation of the blackbody from the spectrum. Color balance error at the minimum.

Performance metrics

Pleases at Lumia 920 the characteristic of frequency processing of operations. The device works on a Qualcomm S4 processor. The dual-core chipset has a total frequency of 3 GHz. This is a serious leap forward for Nokia developers. Suffice it to recall that the 900th model of the smartphone in its arsenal had only one core with 1.4 GHz. At the core of the S4 processor are two platforms - Adreno 225 and Krait. It is worth noting the support for LTE and the lack of connectivity HDMI and MHL. Nevertheless, the smartphone is fully capable of handling the main performance tasks: the interface does not slow down, FullHD video stream is reproduced without distortion.

Unfortunately, under Windows there are still no serious games, but supported go even at the maximum requirements without lags.

operating system

In Lumia 920, the firmware is nothing fundamentally different from the previous Nokia flagships. This is the standard "axis" of Windows Phone. The only advantage of the platform is that the operating system is represented by a new version of Eight. Nevertheless, in Lumia 920 Windows P8 does not justify itself. "Axis" nothing advanced can not please, if only a couple of new gadgets, utilities and shells. In addition, the software under WP8 at the moment is extremely difficult to find.

Fans of colorful multimedia will note for themselves the changing tiles of the main menu. Now gadgets can be configured not just in size, but also in form: from a large rectangle to a miniature square. In general, the OS interface is accessible and simple. The owners of the updated WP7 will not see any special differences from the new version.

Perhaps the only feature of the "axis" is the lack of an application menu bar on the desktop. Now, to access the list of programs, you need to swipe the screen 1 time to the left. But there was an opportunity to update the system over the wireless network and rewrite files with the help of a normal manager-conductor.

Interface Features

When you turn on the device, the first window displays a blocking window, where notifications are displayed about the current weather, time, date and messages on social networks. The tiles of the desktop remained informative. Of the minuses is worth noting the fact that not all start-up gadgets can be removed from the screen.

The search box works only with an Internet connection, as soon as the built-in browser opens. The Lumia 920 firmware includes a number of standard applications: Microsoft Office, drivers, Internet Explorer, utilities for banking operations, Skype and a couple of banal games. It is noteworthy that in WP8 the office package turned out to be very weak. Its functionality is limited to changing the contents of the text and saving the document only in basic formats.

When you connect to the Internet, only the built-in IE browser works correctly. The rest of the applications have no complaints.

Benefits of navigation

Developers of "Nokia" always paid special attention to the local capabilities. In the 920-th model navigation has reached a new level thanks to the WP8 platform. Now the user can download maps of any city directly over Wi-Fi. Communication with the application is by voice. The Navigator automatically announces details of the selected route and analyzes the current traffic along the routes, helping to avoid traffic jams. It is noteworthy that after the implementation of the search application can work offline. The Lumia 920 maps contain information not only about traffic, but also about the location of objects, about metro stops, tram routes, trolleybuses, etc. The image can be displayed in 2D, 3D and from a satellite on a small scale.

It is important that there are Russian cities in the list of available maps.

Camera Specifications

When developing the optical part of the device, the engineers of Nokia decided to return to the standard of the previous years. Despite the fact that the camera was created based on PureView technology, the resolution does not exceed 8.7 megapixels. This is strange, because in Nokia 808, using the same technique, optics had 41 MPs in the arsenal.

The only thing that pleases the Lumia 920 is the light sensor. Photographs are of perfect quality even in foggy weather at night. When designing the camera, the BSI-matrix was used, which not only suppresses noise, but also has an increased inverse photosensitivity. Also, an integrated image stabilizer and color saturation are highlighted.

Autonomous work

The Lumia 920 battery is a non-removable Li-Ion battery. The capacity is about 2000 mAh.

With an average load on performance, the device's operating time varies within 2 days. In this case, the brightness should be in automatic mode. It is worth noting that Wi-Fi and text managers do not sink a lot of battery, as in many other smartphones. In the passive mode, the battery is able to hold the charge for up to 3 days. At a high load on multimedia, the battery lasts for 12-14 hours. Interestingly, in the settings there is an option of saving the charge, disabling the multitasking mode and superfluous utilities Lumia 920.

Reviews about the smartphone

One of the main advantages of the device are the quality of photography and convenient integration of accounts. The new model does not require Zune to synchronize with the PC. Files are transferred via a USB cable. Also, you do not need to convert video materials in advance. At a high level, there is also navigation, which is thought through to the smallest detail.

One of the main disadvantages of Lumia 920 is the price. This component makes the smartphone not so popular in Russia as the flagships of other brands with similar characteristics. The new Lumia 920 price varies between 25 000 rubles. Second-hand smartphone can be purchased at 2 times cheaper.
