Videos: Lumia 920 Vs. HTC 8X- Boot Time, Apps, Screen & Design

Posted: 30 Dec 2012 09:23 AM PST

Our buddy SamJPullen is doing a series of comparisons between the beloved 920 and the HTC 8X. So here’re a couple awesome videos showing off the boot speeds, app launching; then a second video comparing design and screens.

I was honestly surprised how long it took the 8X to boot, is it because of the O2 branding?

Of course it’s always nice to see a screen sensitivity comparison against another device; just to keep things in prescriptive.

*Also as noted in the video it seems as if the 920 has some sort of coating on the screen, possibly an oleophobic coating? There’s an obvious difference between the screen texture of the 920 and the 900; but I’m not sure what the reason behind it is? (is it just the curved glass?)

Second Shipment of 920′s Hits China; Sells out in under 20 Minutes

Last week we heard that the Lumia 920 sold out in record time after finally hitting Chinese stores, well apparently the second batch of phones has come in… and gone right out. Reports claim that the phone sold out in less than 20 minutes from the Nokia flagship store in Shanghai; with most demand being for the yellow variant. According to the source the store didn’t allow any photography inside the actual store, but here are a couple pictures of the lines from the outside.
