Customer Review

Now that I am the owner of a NL 920 for some time, I would like to give an assessment to:

The main criticisms of the Finns are probably the weight and size, as well as the operating system Windows Phone 8:

Weight: Well, as with many things is probably the matter of taste. Of course, a little easier, it might have been, but I personally am very satisfied with the heavy weight: You can tell when it is not in my pocket and in my opinion it also helps to wertigerem impression! It feels like more! I like that.

Size: Surely you would have here can save some (I think the camera with its optical stabilizer, the main reason for the size is), but I've tried to stow away no problems, the Nokia in my pocket. Sure, there may be something one or the other is too large and will not be in vain described by some as "brick", but I had no problems so far. The screen size is perfect for me and can also be handed in all the necessary places well achieve what probably. WP 8 also contributes what brings me straight to the next point:

Windows Phone 8: Now, Windows Phone 8 is for many probably the main criticism I can understand very well. Embittered is defended by the fans and also advertising the OS with the bad reputation, but you just have to say, at a maturity (there is that word?) From Android or iOS is it is still far easy, but I did when purchasing also well aware! But what I like so much to WP 8 that it has convinced me yet is that there are simply times offers a refreshing change from the nevertheless realtiv similar from operating Conceptually main competitors Android and iOS! So here is increasingly placed on gestures (although not nearly as strong as BlackBerrys new OS, which also has piqued my interest), which in my opinion also the usability to good comes because you have rarely touch the top corners of the screen.
Of course there are other annoying "teething problems", such as: the lack of a Notification Center or shortcuts to battery, Wifi, etc ... DataConnection but at least in the latter, the Community launched a few apps that facilitate whole.
Apropos Apps: Of which there are now well enough, at most games will be one or the other go off, otherwise there is most great apps already for Windows Phone, as long as you are not looking for something totally specific records.
What I also found very good, was the Veknüpfung all possible contacts, so can be Twitter, Facebook, Skype contacts and surely also by some other relevant party (but I only use these) linking what then (depending on the setting ) is stored in the SkyDrive of connected to the mobile Microsoft account and synchronized across the entire Microsoft's offer of time. This too is again a point that speaks for Windows Phone: The starkte integration into the Microsoft ecosystem, which suits me very.
The highly competitive Livetiles have given me great joy and are definitely a nice feature that at least a little about the lack of a Notification Center of time helps.
With the coming Blue updates will probably. even the odd Improves and especially the integration in Windows 8 further improved, especially app developers helps to be able to easily port their apps over the entire range of Microsoft OS and thus may also contribute to stronger growth of Windows Stores ,
The bottom line: If you want to take any chances, sometimes you should land on the losing streak 8 rather refrain from WP, but this denied also a new experience :)

Processing: The quality is in my opinion very well and leaves nothing to be desired. Miscellaneous videos on YouTube, according to the result is a very stabieles device, but I did not even wanted to check)
The feel is by the slightly rounded, towards the edges thinner design and the material used very well and feels very smooth in hand!
Even the display experiencing this rounding thus also has a nice hand feeling.
The design I like very much, but what I have to say that I find the discussion about design in smartphones relatively ridiculous, since I would still hammer out a box with display ... at least I think so ...

The display: Now, if the "Pure Motion +" is only advertising drivel or something behind it, I unfortunately do not know, but it's big enough definitely with its size of 4.5 inches and offers a resolution of 768 x 1280px little reason to complain about. To my knowledge, the pixel density is even higher than the iPhone 5, even if only a bit. But I must say that I find it unnecessary, as the industry currently boasts of its high-resolution smartphone screens, as I have already seen my iPod 4G barely individual pixel and I therefore am also here the benefits skeptical .. ,
with 768 x 1280 pixels is no longer in my opinion really recognize me and thus the highest resolution, which I also consider as at least a little sense ...
The colors are crisp, the black level can be proud of and all I can say.

Battery life: Well, 2000mAh are sufficient for a smartphone and you get so good on the day. Exact times, I can not offer, but that's what the Internet)
Unfortunately, the battery is permanently installed, so that the life of the Finns is probably limited. One probably. can be exchanged by Nokia, but send it to one when the battery is approaching the end of their lives, preserved probably nothing ... pity them too.

The phone: If I were a frequent callers, then I would have bought me no phone ... but as the actual call (at least in my circle of friends) from mobile to mobile has become rather rare and is more likely to Text Messenger like Facebook or WhatsApp leaves, all I can not give as much information.
So far I was always understood without Probeme and can also say the same of my interlocutors.

Camera: Well, that's probably with one of the centrepieces, and I must say that it really does what it promises! Nachfotos are very bright and wobble-free and low noise. The image stabilizer does this wirlich his best, offering even more complicated especially when shooting video a beautiful sight. With the applications with respect to the camera, of which there are many useful wirlich, you can also quickly switch times to other modes, as these can be all the camera mode from start during the Fotografiern.

Memory: 32 GB, not expandable ... I though rich 32GB but it's still a major shortcoming for one or the other!

Speaker: Well ... top sound you should probably expect in any smart phone ... but they do their job. Listen to music with it but I would not know about, but that is probably true on virtually all smart phones to ...

Value for money: By now the price is slightly lower, but still expensive. The initial 650 unfortunately does not really speak for the Lumia 920, especially since competitors like the Galaxy S3 are priced much better off here.

Conclusion: I like the Nokia Lumia 920, despite his faults very good! But I can also understand the people, the this is not true. To me it was a digression in erfirschend other software world value and I also like it plugged in the one or other disadvantages compared to Android and iOS users, but there are certainly also be some who would rather go then on the safe side.

Since I like Windows Phone and the Lumia 920 this probably is the best smartphone as Nokia also enjoys a special position in Microsoft, I give 5 stars, but that does not mean that it is perfect, but just another satisfied user has :)
