Nokia Lumia 920: Hands on preview!

The Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Phone 8 smartphone was revealed just last night, and turned heads with Nokia’s promises of next gen hardware, gorgeous design and all new software. It’s not out for a few months yet, but we managed to get a good look up close at the company’s New York press conference. Read on for our thoughts, hands on photos and video!

The first thing you should know is that the Nokia Lumia 920 is that it’s a much more modern phone than its predecessors. Last year’s Nokia Lumia 800, as pleasant as it was, was held back by a smallish screen and slow single-core processor.

No such problems here. The Nokia Lumia 920’s 4.5-inch screen is a spacious HD resolution panel that looks absolutely gorgeous behind the curved glass panel. From what we’ve seen so far, it’s extremely responsive, and Nokia has lived up to its claims about its impressive contrast and screen tech.
