Customer Review

After my old HTC Mozart Windows 7 had an irreparable Imput damage, should match the release a new Windows Phone 8 to take the worthy successor.
I was quite happy with Windows 7, Microsoft has however in retrospect made an enormous leap.
In terms of design and processing can rely on Nokia here. One can attach the Finns though, that they have slept through the smartphone entry, how quality and robust mobile phones builds seems the people of Helsinki but still be well remembered.

Display: The display has no exorbitant resolution (800x480), but this is only to be seen when the device operates with his nose. The rich black is a dream and the display is generally very bright and reflects slightly. Unfortunately, that pulls the battery life down a little, it's a real problem, however, never become for me. Otherwise, the display contributes without any significant weaknesses such as color casts or similar

PERFORMANCE: I have absolutely no idea how the processor stands by its power her out or not, but the fact is that I had no performance degradation, frame drops or stuttering. Especially with the "animation-heavy" OS makes operation extremely fun and it feels like the absolute professional when you jump between the flip animations back and forth)

AUDIO: The sound is very good and typical Nokia with the manual equalizer (which I greatly missed in my HTC) can also compensate for the booming bass of Beats headphones from Sohnemann if you have your own headphones laid times.

CAMERA: The camera I have to admit, did not make me very confident. However, the single snapshots were taken without further pre-configuration and in dim bar lighting. Finally, it remains at a decent camera, which also determines ordinary photos shoots in good light, as compared to its big brother Lumia 920 must, however, make any concessions that will make in turn paid in the lower weight.

OPERATING SYSTEM: About Windows Phone 7 one may be divided. Many approaches were good, the OS but overall still in its infancy. Windows Phone 8 is somewhat more where are we headed. The Live Tiles (comparable to the Android Widges) bring life into the previously somewhat rational and emotionless homescreen. Finally this annoying space to the right side was removed and extends the music app. The new music app "Xbox Music" in my opinion is a double-edged sword. On the one hand I love her, because I associated with the Xbox Live Music Pass a lot of additional information, high-resolution backgrounds and recommendations are offered, which gives the pleasant feeling of a tidy and structured Music Archives. On the other hand it makes me livid that in my songs are constantly being offered twice, and not simply on the 32GB MicroSD (which is, moreover, for a mere 15 A BLESSING) can be moved. In addition, not a real balance between the libraries is done on my Windows 8 PC, the Xbox and the mobile phone. So although I have one and the same music service, but 3 different libraries. Since I had really hoped for an Xbox Music cloud sync.

That should have been with the negative points it however. Total'm particularly impressed with the processing and rapid OS and can put this device to all those fond of, the 920 is too large or too expensive find, but do not want to do without both WP8 and on high-quality workmanship.
