That sounds heavy though, right? Well, yes and no. In comparison to the new “super thin” iPhone 5, that’s about 73 grams heavier. In fairness, most have also said such things with positive aspects, only noting the difference when compared to other phones. Every review has mentioned it with some calling it a “tank” or even a “brick”. If there was one constant complaint we have come across about the Lumia 920 it is in regards to its size and weight.

Besides from our experience if you do drop the Lumia 920, the only thing you should check is that you didn’t crush and small animals or crack the floor. Sure, you can say that but you sound ridiculous. We’re not calling it a complaint though-it’s like calling a Ferrari too nice. That’s probably the only downside we can think of is that device is a tad slippery, mostly because it’s smooth and dense. It’s solid as a rock, granted a slipper rock. What can we say? Nokia has taken the Lumia 800 and 900 and evolved it to perfection on the 920. Button had excellent tactile feel (much more so than the HTC 8X0 and travel of the button in our opinion is perfect.Įven the SIM tray near the top aligns more straight on the 920 with no-give like it had on the 900. This was a particular problem for the chrome bezel around the Lumia 800 and 900 and we can say that from our experience, that problem has been eliminated completely. Likewise, the buttons have gone from silver to a dark- metal ceramic which promises to not scratch as easily. The device is smooth where it needs to be and easily feels high quality. This time around, Nokia has wisely curved the back of the phone, which gives a much nicer feel to it when being held. It also comes in numerous colors such as grey, black, cyan, white, yellow and red with the latter three being “glossy” and the former “matte”. Like its predecessor, the Lumia 920 uses a polycarbonate shell.

To conclude: the display on the Lumia 920 is admirable and arguably one of the best around. The result is a much better tactile feel when using the device as your thumb glides off the phone. As a result, you can use the display with gloves or even objects and we have to admit it’s very cool.įinally, the Gorilla Glass is a curved, allowing the display to taper off on the edges. The technology mimics yester-year’s resistive displays (where you had to press to get a response) with the more modern capacitive screen. Should one be worried about the display being too sensitive, you can quickly disable the feature in settings. The Super Sensitive Touch technology, developed by Synaptics, works well enough and assuming that Nokia can market the advancement, could be a great selling point. This may seem odd to point out but many companies get this wrong-too bright when in a dim room, too dim when outside. The auto-brightness is tuned very well and adjusts to the ambient light appropriately. We’re nitpicking here though as the 920’s display is one of the better ones we have used and the lack of PenTile Matrix for many is a welcomed addition (however, we would not have minded an HD Super AMOLED with traditional RGB matrix). But on the 920, the blacks have a lighter look to them allowing you to see the bezel versus display. On that phone, the difference between the black background of the OS and the black bezel of the phone was indistinguishable. Here we’re comparing it to the Lumia 900 ( see our review), which did have an AMOLED screen. Nokia opted to go with IPS instead, which provides excellent viewing angles but lacks a bit in one area: deep blacks. One area where we are a little disappointed in is the lack of AMOLED display. Users can wear gloves in the winter and operate the display (a first for modern smartphones) get a boost in brightness when out in the sunlight, great scratch resistance and have vibrant, accurate colors. This combo of high-end technology works out well for the phone. Basically, Nokia packed as much tech into the display as possible except for an oleophobic layer to reduce smudging from greasy hands. It also features Nokia’s ClearBlack display technology (basically dual polarizers to reduce glare and make the colors sharper), Super Sensitive Touch display and Corning’s Gorilla Glass.

Coming in at 4.5”, the Lumia 920 has one of the largest displays for a Windows Phone 8 device, only bested by the yet-to-be-released Samsung ATIV S.
