Posted: 05 Dec 2012 10:22 AM PST

 

The much awaited GSM Arena Review of the Nokia Lumia 920 is available as well as their battery test. Thanks everyone for sending this in. Apologies I couldn’t post it up any sooner, I’ve had no internet at work. I know, how do I cope, right?

Anyway, the review of the 920 is in the link below:

  • If there’s one thing that can make you forgive the Nokia Lumia 920′s less than stellar use of the available space, it’s the build and finish. 
  • The Lumia 920 looks and feels every bit the flagship part, with the polycarbonate unibody and the curved display working extremely well together.
  • It’s hard to say if the Nokia Lumia 920 is the best looking smartphone out there, but it’s certainly in the running.

Camera section is on this page:

Gallery: Hands On With the Lumia 620

Posted: 05 Dec 2012 07:05 AM PST

The folks over at SlashGear have gotten some hand-on time with the newly released Nokia Lumia 620. The most noticeable change over last years low-end Lumia (the 610) is the improved screen, replaced by Nokia’s excellent Clear Black Display, and the internals have been beefed up to get rid of the “app incompatible” errors:

Gone is the mediocre display, replaced by a far more pleasant ClearBlack panel, and with its 1GHz dualcore Snapdragon S4 chipset and 512MB of RAM, navigation is swift and there shouldn't be a problem with incompatible apps undermined by insufficient memory.

The colors are truly gorgeous, with the pretty green (which I’d love to see on a 920) and a matte white, Yes! Matte!!!
