Nokia Lumia Series: Changing the Face of Nokia
Nokia was on the back burner, and then right on the burner, suffering major losses, struggling against the economic slump and most of the gripe was faced by Nokia. Desperate times usually result in some outstanding creations, and that came in the form of a storm of new handsets, all part of the Lumia series. The illumination of thought that sparked off the Lumia series has led to far reaching consequences, that Nokia must be proud of. Let's look at some of the best from the Lumia series for a true appreciation of them all.
Lumia 920
The Lumia 920 was literally, Nokia's worst kept secret. The fantabulous features were just too good to keep under wraps. The Lumia 920 is unfortunately thought of as a better iteration of the Nokia 900. In truth this phone has a lot of versatility against the Nokia name, that it is an ingenious creation resembling no other in any big way. This device has a dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 CPU, which is the same powerful processor to drive the HTC One X and the Galaxy S III to all their performance glory.
The Lumia 920 also has an improved display compared to the Nokia 900 with a screen resolution of the 1,280 x 768 on its 4.5 inch LCD display which fair better than HD. There is nothing further to seek when you have PureView imaging, for great pictures with the 8 Megapixel camera. The smartphone is NFC ready and comes fueled by 2,000mAh battery. Another major attraction with the Lumia 920 is its accessories, especially wireless charging. The device sports catchy hardware, without any sensuous curves just light roundednessaround the edges and just plain old hardware with a splash of neon color.
The form factor is quite similar to the Lumia 900, bearing the same all-polycarbonate. Nokia likes to use glass and the 2.5D glass bends into the polycarbonate border. The shine from the gloss won't keep the cracks from the glass, and so you'll want to strap on some hard, protection wear, that will sadly hide that beautiful neon coloring.
Lumia 820
Comeback or what! Nokia spun gold, with the Lumia 820 which is the more affordable phone compared to the Lumia 920, still with all the favorite features, truly offering value for money. The Windows 8 OS has been managed and supported beautifully with this device. Maybe not as neon as the Lumia 920, but the colors are fun and bright. The Lumia 820 comes powered by a 1.5 GHz Dual Core Qualcomm Krait processor backed by 1 GB of RAM.
The screen, unlike the Lumia 920 is a 4.3-inch AMOLED ClearBlack capacitive screen with a screen resolution of 480 x 800 pixel pixels. The screen is darn good under sharp sunlight, since it has sunlight readability enhancements, and color boosting.There is even brightness control to save on energy although 1650 mAh Li-Ion battery which manages almost 15.4 hours talk time on 2G and up to 8.1 hours on the 3G network doesn't need the extra help.
The camera is an8 megapixel one with that professional Carl Zeiss Tessar lens camera with 4x digital zoom and dual LED flash. Another camera is fitted to the front and there is HD video recording. Your fine quality pictures and other files can be stored easily with the capacity of the device being 64 GB via the microSD card. Other key features include the 3D Accelerometer, Ambient Light Sensor and Gyroscope Sensor.Connectivity wise there is Bluetooth, GPRS, EDGE, 3G, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Hotspot tethering.
Lumia 720
The Lumia 720 was pitched by Nokia as the "trendy option" of the Lumia series, and we see why. The device has more curves, and is soft on the eye. This smartphone has the same size display as the Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 being 4.3 inches. The screen has great viewing angles, and minimal reflection. Also, under sunlight, the screen does not require an extra hand while reading a text.
Promises are kept at Nokia, and the Lumia 720 got a 6.7 MP camera just as good as the one foretold by the company. The camera features a large f/1.9 aperture with Carl Zeiss optics for pristine clear pictures that extract maximum detail and color reproduction. The wide angles give wider snapping choices and for those with a camera flair your needs will be satiated with this good looking device. The front camera is of 1.3 MP.
There is also a snap on wireless charging cover and the device comes in five colors. The processor is a Snapdragon S4 dual-core 1 GHz processor backed by 512 MB of RAM. Internally you get 8GB which can optionally be extended all the way to 64 GB. The battery is a dutiful 2000mAh battery and helps you to enjoy the Windows 8 experience.
Lumia 520
The Lumia 520 is the most affordable, from the Lumia series, but is in no way cheap (quality assessment). This device has the same digital camera lenses seen on the Nokia Lumia 920 without the exact same supplementary features. There is Nokia Music for free music out of the box. The screen is a 4-inch super sensitive touchscreen, and the device has a 5-megapixel auto-focus rear camera with features like Smart Shoot, CinemaGraph and more. The Nokia Lumia 520 also features shells in five colors. The budget device comes with a Snapdragon S4 dual-core 1 GHz processor backed by 512MB RAM. You get 8GB internal space expandable to 64GB. There is Bluetooth 3.0,Wi-Fi, and 3G available.
Lumia 620
Nokia brought in the Lumia 620 even while the excitement over the other Lumia series was still going strong. Being another very affordable device that has a sturdy shell and good core features, this one was a ready success. The phone runs on the 1 GHz Qualcomm Krait Dual Core Processor and packs in the Windows Phone 8 OS experience.
The screen is smaller than the other Lumia series devices being 3.81 inches of capacitive LCD touchscreen. The concentration of pixels, gives favorable results. However the WVGA displayhas a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels with Color Boosting which is more than what other budget phones offer. The rear camera is a 5 MP snapper and comes with 4x digital zoom and LED flash. There is a secondary camera and HD video recording.
The bar shape has been given subtle curves like the Lumia 720. The 1300 mAh battery powers device for14 hours of talktime. Internally there is 512 MB and storage space of 8 GB, and possibly 64 GB through micro SD cards.
