I bought NL 920 three weeks ago. So here is what I found about NL 920.
Firstly I would talk about its screen Its brilliant. Superb sunlight visibility and amazing contrast and natural colours. It produces real low motion blur!! I would rate 10/10.
Next about the processor and RAM. Snapdragon performs very well and the available RAM is enough however 2 GB would have been better. I didn’t felt any lag while using the phone . So I would rate
Processor-10/10
Ram-9/10
Next I would come to camera. Its 8.7 MP Camera did perform very well but not upto expectation. The camera interface is poor . Its overhyped.
For camera-8.5/10
Next about the battery. Although NL 920 has 2000 mah battery its back up is bad. I found on heavy usage [using internet over 3g downloading, playing some games for 10 minutes, using some gps and some other apps] it hardly lasted 8 hours which is very disappointing. Moreover the back of the phone becomes very heated up. I tested this on lowest screen brightness settings.
For battery-5/10
Next about the call reception and signal strength. During my usage in all these days I received and dialled many numbers and didn’t face any call drop issues.The sound from the speaker was distinct and clear and loud enough.
But about the signal reception it has some weak signal reception capability nearly 8-10% lesser than my NOKIA 5230 which is disappointing from this high end phone.
For call quality-10/10
For network reception-7/10
Next about the audio and video playback. Video playback quality was superb @30fps but unlike galaxy s3 , galaxy note2 , htc one x it supports many less formats. So you wont be able to play all the videos.
And about the audio playback. The sound quality from the stereo speakers really great and loud enough. But when it comes to the headphones it is again disappointing. The retail package headphone with is bad. I compared with my NOKIA 5230 using Philips SHE 9550 headphone. The thump& bass depth was worse than 5230. Even while playing at higher levels [25+] the sound from headphones was not distinct and a little distorted compared to N 5230. Although NL920 has DOLBY DIGITAL sound but the result is not up to mark
So for video playback-8/10
Audio playback-8/10
Next the user interface. The user interface is amateur compared to android and I phone. Many major things are lacking. Eg you cannot set any ringtone volume separately, Poor multitasking etc.
So for user interface-6.5/10
Next about the browser. NL920 has the INTERNET EXPLORER. Trust me NL920 has one of the best browsing capabilities with the IE . You can book tickets , fill online forms , recharge your accounts and zero lag..
For Browser-10/10
Lastly about the build quality . Unlike the galaxy NL 920 has been built line a premium phone. You wouldn’t feel any cheap plastic feeling. Its built like tank. Heavy and standard look . To me weight was not any issue.
For build -9.5/10
So overall I would like to say Nokia has tried well to capture the high end market but there are some serious lackings in their most innovative phone.
No doubt NL920 is the best windows phone in the market but unless you are a Die Hard fan of WINDOWS OS dont go for it!. You will get much better smartphones in the 34k range.
So here are some comparative overall ratings.
GALAXY S3-92/100
HTC ONEX-91/100
GALAXY NOTE2-94/100
I PHONE 5-89/100
LUMIA 920-85/100
Recently on (3 march) i faced some major issues. While listening to music, phone hanged and after that screen went black and no response. Neither i can switch it off nor i can remove its battery to restart it due its innovative non removable battery and also you cannot download offline maps other than wi fi network,no native video calling means u will have to use skype and pay to skype for video calling. thank god i have my old W910i and SE Hazel J20i for video calling. Moreover there is no file manager , no decent pdf viewer.
