Nokia Lumia 920 Review
The Nokia Lumia 920 is the big brother of the Lumia range boasting the most powerful apps and largest screen at 4.5-inches. This mobile phone operates on the Windows Phone 8 operating system but today as opposed to looking to compare mobile phone deals or reviewing the spec sheet, which let’s face it is was most of the mobile phone reviewers do, I want to walk you through some of the features and apps that will give you a true insight into what the Nokia Lumia 920 can do.
Nokia Music App
The Nokia Music App has several areas of interest and outside of grouping your tunes, Mix Radio and music store into one place it can also advise you on upcoming local gigs. This handy option uses the built-in GPS to mark your location and both big and small artists are visible. You may even tap on the artist to view information such as whom they are, when they will perform, where they will perform, how to purchase tickets and how far away the gig is compared to your current location.
City Lens
This pre-installed app is as its name suggests a city guide and it holds up well when we compare its mobile phone rivals. It really is like having your own personal tourist board in your pocket as it highlights where to stay, where to eat and drink and what to do. Transport links, hotels, shops, cafes and famous sights are all listed and this app is both useful in your home town and when discovering somewhere new.
PhotoBeamer
This smartphone feature although not so exciting is one of the quickest ways to view your photo gallery on another computer or phone. Simply scan a visual code on the computer then hold the Nokia Lumia 920 next to the computer or phone and your images are transferred without any more keypad presses.
Nokia Wallet
This PIN protected secure app will allow you to safely keep the information contained within your purse or wallet electronically such as credit and debit cards, vouchers and membership cards. It also allows you to keep track of your banking with statements, transactions and balances.
App Store
The App Store is a portal for downloading new programs and whilst it isn’t as extensive as say Google Play you will find the best apps like Facebook, Twitter and the Met Office app and should your favourite Android app not be listed then there will be an alternative.
Compare mobile phone deals?
OK, so we said we weren’t going to compare mobile phones with deals but I thought it was worth a quick mention as I have noticed some unusual results in the mobile phone marketplace. The first of these is that the cheapest deal I could find using a price comparison service was that the Orange network came in first instead of the usual culprits T-Mobile or Three.
Having said this if you are looking for an unlimited data option to really get the most out of the Lumia 920 then T-Mobile is the first choice with an option of unlimited data and unlimited text messages.
Conclusion
As Microsoft Windows 8 takes hold in the computer and laptop arena the popularity of Windows Phone 8 smartphones will surely increase and this offering from Nokia is one of the best options available today.
