Well, when it comes to taking pictures, the Nokia Lumia 920 has a 4.5” display with a ppi of 332 and a 1,280x768p resolution. The iPhone 5 has a 4” display with 326ppi and a 1,136x640p resolution. The Lumia wins because it has a larger screen, a higher ppi and the screen responds to gloves and even fingernails.
The Nokia Lumia 920 rear camera is 8.7MP, and its front camera is 1.3MP. It has autofocus, a dual LED flash and has PureView and Carl Zeiss optics. The iPhone 5 has an 8MP rear camera and a 1.2MP front camera. It has LED flash, autofocus, FaceTime, geo-tagging, face detection and panoramic choices. The Nokia Lumia 920 rear camera wipes the floor with the iPhone 5, especially in low light, and is actually the best smartphone camera I’ve seen this year so far.
However, The Nokia Lumia 920 also comes with lots of Nokia-exclusive apps like Lens Caps and Nokia Maps on top. Unfortunately, these won’t beat the 700,000-plus apps available to the iPhone 5. The Windows Market Place will have to play catch-up.
However, The 32GB Nokia Lumia 920 will ONLY cost $99.99 on a two-year contract. The iPhone 5 32GB is $299. The much lower price tag gives the Lumia a win when it comes to value for money IMHO.
Display size and camera megapixels are just numbers to entice the public. The real important thing is the sensor..which Nokia wipes the floor with against the competition. As soon as my contract is up with Sprint I am jumping ship to Nokia and WP8. Apps will follow the more people who buy windows phone.
Realistically who uses all 700,000 apps?
Most people use no more than a dozen or so.
I got my Nokia Lumia 920 for NOTHING.
Got one for my Wife as well, for NOTHING.
It is my favorite Smart Phone so far. Gave up a Droid for it and I like the WIN 8 Setup. I am not a Smart Phone Fanatic, but it fits my needs well.
I dropped it, and I mean DROPPED it onto Concrete twice. (I have a holster for it now BTW, too little luckily but not too late). I thought it was toast both times. Did the “reset” four button trick and it was as good as new.
Did I say “like”, I meant “love”...
You also failed to notice the better pic quality when copied to a PC. The Lumia is actually useable in low light situations without a flash and with one. The 1020 is even better.
Apps are one thing but pictures are memories...I think Nokia has the right combo to win in the end.
