NOKIA Lumia 920 Pro Reviews

One of the first handsets shipping with Windows Phone 8, the big, beautiful Nokia Lumia 920 is the most powerful, versatile option available. But the phone itself is overgrown, and the platform has some growing to do.

The Nokia Lumia 920 is a good all-around smartphone, but because of its size and weight, I wouldn't recommend it for everyone. There is no one broken, terrible, or unfinished feature to push you away, and innovations like Wi-Fi charging and gloved use are unique draws that no other competitor can offer. The Windows Phone OS, however, brings some trade-offs for those who are also considering Android and iOS.

Lacklustre camera aside, this is a superb Windows Phone 8 handset

The Nokia Lumia 920 is the best smartphone for taking pictures in low light. It features one of the best smartphone experiences when it comes to the core software. Rooms, Maps, People Hub, Kids Corner, and customisable Lock Screens all make this a cracking phone. The 920 also has one of the best displays in the industry. Images are vivid and you can use it with your gloves on. But… It's is so heavy it will hamper you wanting to use it single-handed. It's so big and slab-like that it carries little kudos or cool factor. No one we've shown it too liked the look or design of the phone. It won't have many of the apps you probably want, or already use, if you're switching from another OS. We had high hopes for this phone, and it delivers in so many places - including those that the HTC 8X doesn't - until the moment you pick it up and hold it in your hand.

The Lumia 920 looks good and performs smoothly. It has a deluge of features, and a great camera. And the Windows Phone 8 software really stands out. Camera features like the ability to add motion or delete people who've wandered into the shot along with the phone's augmented reality-flavoured City Lens option will likely set the Lumia apart from other Windows Phone handsets.
