Lumia 920 Front Facing Camera Test

Posted: 25 Jan 2013 02:16 PM PST

Besides the pretty amazing rear camera on the Lumia 920 it also packs a pretty decent front facing camera; in fact it’s the first Nokia phone to ever have a HD capable front facing camera. The FFC is a 1.2 Mp F/2.4 lens that takes some impressive (relatively speaking of course) videos in proper light; which should come in handy seeing how Skype is deeply integrated into Windows Phone 8. However in my testing I found that the video has s light “yellowish” tint to it when viewing on my PC later, although it looked superb on the phone’s screen while filming.

Here’s a sample of the camera on the Lumia 900 for comparison, the 900′s camera was only capable of 480p but still did a pretty good job of it.

BTW, What’s this? In a Nokia video? There’s no Windows button. But there are WP style touch buttons on screen. Unless webapp? Is that a Droid RAZR M?
