Nokiahas officially unveiled its new flagship smartphones, Lumia 920 and Lumia 820. Thenew Windows Phone devices are beautifully crafted and offer something unique inthe saturated smartphone market. The Finnish company announced two WindowsPhone 8 handsets, the Lumia 920 and the Lumia 820, targeted at the high and midend smartphone audience respectively.
AsSteve Ballmer noted on stage today, this year is shaping up to be somethinghistoric for all of Microsoft. Windows Phone 8 is part of a reimagined Windows,with a unified experience spanning phones, tablets and PCs. Whether you’relooking at Windows 8 or Windows Phone 8, you’ll experience our unique look andfeel with Live Tiles and will have the same built-in access to Microsoft cloudservices like SkyDrive and Xbox Music.
 TheLumia 820 features a 4.3-inch display, along with 1.5GHz dual-core S4 processorand a microSD slot. Other features include a 5-megapixel camera, NFCcapabilities, 8GB of storage, Nokia Music access, City Lens and a variety ofcovers. But it doesn’t include PureView technology featured in the Lumia 900,Nokia’s new flagship device. TheLumia 820 feels much more like a normal smartphone than the 920, with roundededges that don't feel quite as severe in your hand. The 4.3-inch display isevery bit as attractive as its larger cousin's, but since the phone is a bitsmaller it's more usable in one hand. The 800 x 480 screen is also a bigletdown after the gorgeous display on the 920 — that seems to be the biggesttradeoff with the lower-end device. The build otherwise looks very much likethe 920, from the ceramic buttons to the unibody-like chassis. It feels a bitmore plasticky, but the tradeoff is that the 820 has swappable backs and abunch of additional color options (the backs can also add NFC capabilities). TheLumia 920 comes with a 4.5 inch 1280 x 768 pixels display, a 1.5GHz dual coreprocessor, a 2000mAh battery, an 8.7 MP camera sensor, wireless charging andNFC capabilities. Its design is very similar to its predecessor, the Lumia 900,with a polycarbonate body available in bright colors. The 8.7MP camera sensorincorporates some great optical image stabilisation and light capturingmechanisms, which the company collectively calls the "PureView"camera. This is contrary to earlier expectations of Nokia bundling a 41MPsensor in Windows Phone devices and adding image downsampling techniques toenhance quality, as it did on the original Symbian based PureView phone. Nonetheless,Nokia's PureView technology in the Lumia 920 is really impressive. OpticalImage stabilisation is done with the help of springs attached to the cameralens unit, which in itself is quite an amazing feat. A comparison of Nokia'sstabilisation tech with (presumably) a Galaxy S3, as shown off in its pressevent, absolutely blew away Samsung's flagship Android device, the Galaxy S3.Even Apple has some image stabilisation tech built into recent iOS devices, butit utilises the gyroscope and other motion sensors rather than directlystabilising the lens.
