| Nokia Lumia 920 reels in 5000+ comments over at Engadget Posted: 26 Sep 2012 05:27 PM PDT Noticed a few messages saying that a Nokia post over at Engadget had received over 2500 comments – well that’s over 3000 and another is hot on its tail. In a few short days, Engadget (Myriam/TnkGrl) has been covering Nokia things brilliantly and has stirred up a lot of discussion.
BTW, although folks are aware that zooming in exaggerates camera shake, they seem to not be aware that their iPhone or similar smartphone has a narrower field of view as compared to a much wider angle in the Nokia. Moreover, since software stabilisation is used, the image is cropped in order to provide a buffer border of pixels with which to simulate stabilisation (i.e. constantly realigning and cutting around that border). Just a quick look at the top listed comments. Cheers Thaijoni, James, Bill Perry, Ahm3d for the tip!

| Video: Super Sensitive and snappy Nokia Lumia 920 screen/responsive test #fork&gloves Posted: 26 Sep 2012 05:00 PM PDT In this video, you can see that the Nokia Lumia 920′s screen is super responsive to non-finger input too. These aren’t special capacitive instruments, these are any everyday objects. This time a fork is used. A glove follows the fork in testing out the super sensitivity of this screen – previously a task that only resistive screens could handle. (At the time, pretty much all resistive screens lacked the featherlight touch of capacitive, and also did not do multitouch – though that is not a limitation of resistive). Here the glove works completely fine whilst swiping gently. Now this isn’t because the glove is thin – we’ve seen demoes before with thick mittens. Other than that, the phone itself is looking pretty snappy. The more you get used to something without lag, the more you tend to notice it in systems that have it. Now I’m being picky – these are literally millisecond differences, but for me, they affect my user experience. by MobileDista

| Posted: 26 Sep 2012 04:31 PM PDT Despite the Nokia Lumia 920 demolishing the competition in recent quick low light tests (including the HTC One X – for video too), we have had commenters saying that the WP8 HTC Lumia 8X supposedly takes better pictures than the Nokia Lumia 920. Really? WPCentral have some sample pictures and videos over at:
Well, if you’re a mobile photobug, you might want the Nokia 808 PureView. Symbian fans love it! It’s a super versatile camera phone which needs a lot of responsibility to control all that imaging power. But for those who want the more rounded smartphone experience with some really great and innovative specs and can stand the larger size, then for sure, go for the Nokia Lumia 920 with PureView v2. I’m not sure how the 8X fares against the OneX. Supposedly they have the same rear camera. If that’s the case, then the 920 seems to take better video/pictures already (in low light/indoor video) WPCentral thinks that’s the case too. by callandor87 Source: Techgoondu Via: wpcentral.

| Videos: More Stabilisation tests – Nokia Lumia 920 vs SGSIII and HTC One X Posted: 26 Sep 2012 01:21 PM PDT In the video below, Myriam records a short clip between the Nokia Lumia 920 and the SGSIII. On the right, the SGSIII seems to be in some kind of earthquake. (The post was updated from the original Lumia vs iPhone).
The 920 is very smooth in comparison. Not super gliding smooth, but not uncomfortable on the eyes either. The video on the right is terrible! Against the HTC One X. What happened to the audio? It sounds like a 3gp clip from 8 years ago. Source: engadget Cheers all for the tip!

| Scuffgate – Anodised Aluminium does not scuff so easily on the N8 as it does on iPhone 5 Posted: 26 Sep 2012 12:38 PM PDT
This morning we talked about the torture test on the Nokia Lumia 900, surviving all the usual bangs and knocks that would kill lesser phones.
I mentioned in that post about something the blogosphere has named ‘scuffgate’ where new iPhones are appearing with scuffs to the anodised aluminium out of the box and are scratching really easily on scratch tests. Apple’s Phil Schiller was then reported to say that is a completely normal thing so essentially, users have nothing to worry about. Well it’s true that even the N8′s anodized aluminium CAN get scratched. BUT that was only from heavy abuse. In these scratch tests, similar to iPhone 5 and worse, the N8 fares so much better. In the N8, if you scratch it, you can rub the scratch away. The weakest part for me was the silly chromed bezel bit which was prone to paint chipping. The anodised aluminium bit was much tougher.
As cool as it is to have a metal phone, I love having a matte polycarbonate material. It truly is that colour throughout the device so that if you did scratch it, it is really hard to see And it’s quite difficult to scratch in the first place. My N9/800 looks absolutely pristine compared to my first N8. Nokia’s polycarbonate is very different to your bargain basement plastic. Nokia’s anodised aluminium seems to be different to what’s seen in the iPhone 5. Cheers Peter L for the tip!

| Video: The Story of my Nokia Asha – Aditya in Jakarta (309) Posted: 26 Sep 2012 12:14 PM PDT
Check out Aditya, he’s a trendy looking student based in Jakarta and he’s on the latest episode of ‘The Story of my Asha”. Although it has only just been launched yesterday, he’s already got hands on with the new Asha Touch Smartphone the Nokia 309. Natural, amiable characters on Nokia videos. by nokia

| Nokia 808 PureView vs 13MP Sony Xperia T Posted: 26 Sep 2012 12:07 PM PDT I saw Marc tweet his comparison between the Nokia 808 PureView and Sony Xperia T (13MP) this morning but I’ve been in the hospital all day (on placement) so I didn’t get to write about it then. I actually would have forgotten too so cheers also to zymo for the heads up! The photos are available over at:
Although the source name might suggest bias to the 808, it’s not. Quite rightly, Marc says “ superiority of the Nokia 808 PureView is evident.” The 808 is in the oversampling PureView mode (not hyperdetail 38mp mode). I prefer the colours from the 808 as well as the clarity and level of pleasing natural bokeh. Some great stuff from Sony too though – long time rivals of Nokia in the mobile imaging space (as Sony Ericsson). Cheers Marc, Zymo and miki69 for the tip!

| Nokia Lumia 920 demolishes SGSIII, HTC OneX and iPhone 5 in Engadget’s low light shootout Posted: 26 Sep 2012 11:57 AM PDT Total props to Myriam Joire who is doing a sterling job reporting back on Nokia related news recently. Apologies this was late – bit of a busy day at the ward. It’s a low light comparison between the Nokia Lumia 920 against the HTC One X, SGSIII and iPhone 5. They’re slaughtered. Quite rightly some have said things might look different if we looked at the photos beyond the phone’s display.
So there are some 100% crops. I’m finding some comments funny because they’re whining that the 920 should be set to auto whilst the other phones on night mode :/. SGSIII HTC OneX iPhone 5 – (apparently improved for low performance, but still no where near 920). Heavily pixelated, orange cast. Nokia Lumia 920. Engadget says the yellow cast is acceptable given the low light situation. Here’s an interesting one against the 808. This had long exposure which apparently meant losing colour detail with magenta cast, but ‘commendable performance, fantastic compared to others’ but the 920 is the king of low light. Myriam adds that the 808 can be coaxed to perform better in low light by changing some settings (like ISO). There are certain low light shots that no amount of flash will help with (note again for people who think it’s stupid to take low light pictures without flash). Watch the video below to explain how the test was done. Cheers Andre, Webby and Viipottaja for the tip!

| Join in: Live Q&A With Lumia 820 Product Manager Posted: 26 Sep 2012 11:23 AM PDT Have you got any nagging questions about the Lumia 920s younger brother, the equally beautiful Lumia 820? The folks over from Nokia Connects have set up a live Q&A session with the product managers of the Lumia 820 which will be open to public viewers to pose their own questions. The Q&A session will be in the form of a text-based livestream; taking place on Friday Sept. 28th 9:00 AM BST (British Summer Time: +1 GMT), you can join the Q&A session on Friday using the link below However since the number of questions will probably be too much to cover in a single session “Only the best questions from viewers will be picked out by the moderators and shared with the project managers.”; so if you have a question on your mind you’d like answered about the Lumia 820 share it below and we’ll be sure to personally deliver it to the Product managers directly. (And of course we’ll be sure to give you a wrap up of the Q&A session and share all the juicy details with you)
