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, as 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 cheapplastic. 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 downside 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 perplexing.

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 resolutionThe display is 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 asmooth 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 getthe optimal performance is 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 built a banal controller of three points: maximum, medium and minimum. But the adjustment of the 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 of the picture and the shift of 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 the Lumia 920 frequency responseprocessing operations. The device works on 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 heart 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 able to cope with the main performance tasks: the interface does not slow down, the 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 the Lumia 920 firmware nothing fundamentallydiffers 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 the 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 themselveschanging 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.

Probably not the only feature of the "axis"is the lack of a desktop application menu arrows. 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 first thinga blocking window appears, where notifications about current weather, time, date and messages on social networks appear. 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 the connection to theInternet, because immediately opens the built-in browser. 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 connecting to the Internet, only the built-in IE browser works correctly. The rest of the applications do not have any complaints.

Benefits of navigation

Developers of "Nokia" always paid specialattention to 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 abouttraffic, but also about the location of objects, about metro stops, routes of trams, trolley buses, 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 Features

When developing the optical part of the deviceNokia’s engineers decided to return to the standard of past years. Despite the fact that the camera was created on the basis of PureView technology, the resolution does not exceed 8.7 megapixels. This is strange, because in the Nokia 808, according to the same methodology, optics had 41 MP in the arsenal.

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

Autonomous work

Battery Lumia 920 is a non-removable Li-Ion-battery. Capacity is about 2000 mAh.

With an average load on the performance timedevice operation 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 lose much battery power, as in many other smartphones.

In passive mode, the battery is able to keepcharge up to 3 days. With a high load on multimedia battery lasts for 12-14 hours. Interestingly, in the settings there is an option to save power, disabling multitasking mode and extra utilities of the Lumia 920.

Reviews about the smartphone

There is also no need to convert video beforehand. At a high level remained and navigation, which is thought out to the smallest detail.

One of the main disadvantages of the Lumia 920 is its price. This component makes the smartphone not so popular in Russia as the flagships of other brands with similar characteristics. The price for the new Lumia 920 is around 25,000 rubles. Used smartphone can be purchased 2 times cheaper.
