We love the vibrancy of the Lumia , and think the warmer look suits the operating system. The adds an extra lens element. This sixth element is glass and joins the five existing lens elements present in the Lumia That means the should technically give you sharper results.
Nokia Smart Camera introduces a range of clever shooting functions to the Lumia camera. This shooting mode will capture 10 photos in quick succession and let you pick the best shot, create action shots, selective motion blur, remove background objects and so on. But wait, there's good news! Even though this debuts on the , it's coming to all other Lumia WP8 handsets in the Amber update later in That's the elephant in the corner.
Launched as a Verizon-exclusive handset, the Nokia Lumia is essentially the same device internally, but it has an OLED display and a Xenon flash for the camera and not even the can offer that. That's something we'll be expecting from the Nokia Lumia Nokia tells us it sees the and the differently, that they'll appeal to different users. Based on gaining 16GB of internal storage and wireless charging, we can't see who would choose the bulkier design of the Lumia over the slick finish of the new Lumia The software features will level out and the experience of using both devices or all three if you include the is very much the same.
The metal body and the lighter weight of the Nokia Lumia , however, makes it the nicer device to us. The company has maintained a similar design to its Lumia phones but has added a metal band. This is the first phone that will feature a mix of plastic and metal. However, the back is still made of polycarbonate plastic.
The phone is made slim and light weight making it comfortable to hold. However, the back is non-removable so the battery is not easily accessible. The phones comes with a 4. The left and the bottom side of the device is bare, while the right side has the volume rocker, the power button and the dedicated camera button making it a little too crowded. The 4. The phones provides a good contrast and vibrant colors but the difference is not really that apparent when using day-to-day.
Under the hood, the phone is powered by Dual-core 1. The processor is fast and responsive, but lags when it comes to camera. The phone comes with only 16 GB internal memory and does not offer users to extend it using an external card.
The phone integrates the Windows Phone 8 OS, which works seamlessly. However, again similar to all other Windows Phones, the app stores lack many apps and still has yet to reach its potential. The phone comes with an 8. The company has also added an additional lens on the five-lens that allows taking much better photos.
Nokia also boasts about its low-light imaging technology that allows users to take excellent photos in low-lighting conditions. The imaging technology is quite superior and does take excellent images with less blur. However, the camera shutter is quite slow which requires the user to hold the phone with a steady hand to eliminate motion blur. Myself included, as I hope to explain.
This is perhaps the biggest bugbear I have with the newer Lumia and Lumia Wireless charging made a huge impact on me - the freedom to use the charging pad as the Lumia 's natural resting place on my desk meant that the phone was always fully charged whenever I picked it up and I never, ever had to think to plug it into a mains or USB charging cable. To move back to a device like the without integral wireless charging would be - yes - a backwards step.
All other essential specs being equal, of course. Yes, I know that you can buy a plastic wireless charging accessory 'cover' for the Lumia , but that makes the device thicker than the and a whole lot less elegant. And yes, I know that dropping the wireless charging coil was part of the drive to make the thinner and lighter, but for me it was one step too far. The coil was less than 1mm in profile and surely weighed less than 10g, two stats I'm more than happy to compromise on for the sake of getting a device I never have to think to charge.
In practice, this ends up being around 13GB free out of the box - for everything. Apps, games, music, videos, maps, temporary files, data. Which means that you have to be incredibly disciplined in terms of what you actually load on.
This is and 16GB sealed devices were acceptable back in - not so now. The original Lumia comes with 32GB across the board. Yes, it's still sealed, but 32GB gives scope for loading on media and the largest games, for capturing photos and videos, for downloading podcasts, all at the same time , without ever worrying about running out of storage space. Now look, I've always been an AMOLED fan, I love the gorgeous deep colours, the blackest blacks and - potentially - the power savings from using dark themed applications.
However, the reality is that all web pages have a white background, email ditto, plus a surprising number of applications, not least Twitter.
