I've had my Lumia 920 for over 2 years, moved from WP8.0, to 8.1 now awaiting WP10. People still ask me "is that the same phone, or is that a new replacement?" Ageless.
Thanks! A great, balanced review. Not sure if you do "major" firmware update reviews or not, on any phones (just saw this). That said, would be great to see a repeat, with the "Amber" and/or "GDR2" update to the 920, that's been going out. Might even be going out to other Nokia products, too. It addresses a few of the camera issues you've mentioned, with the Pro Cam app that's also new, that can be set as default. Plus - now I have FM radio! Thanks again.
i m thinking to buy a windows phone... plz give me some suggestion about it .. Should I buy it or should I go for android.I have short listed Nokia Lumia 920.
i had the Lumia one month so far, and its amazing believe me it is way cooler than it looks, if you want to be so easaly in social networks like twitter, facebook its just simple, the galaxy looks more filled with useless things, the camera of the Lumia is outstanding really its amazing you can make videos while shaking the phone and they will be still perfect, im not samsung fan at first place. s yea i like more the lumia but you better go and check both phones in some market and you decide
Yes the battery IS replaceable in the 920, you just have to take the screws out unfortunately. It took me about 5 minutes to replace the battery. (no prior experience) The S4 has better RAM and an SD slot, not to mention faster processor speeds. That being said we all know shortly that will become useless, because like every single Android phone on the market, it will start bogging down heavily. I have an S3 but I am switching to the 920 this week. I have a 32GB Micro SD card in my s3, and I have not even used half of my device memory much less the SD card. I do a lot of programming, so I keep editing apps etc. on my phone along with a lot of files. The embedded battery makes the phone more durable, so you do not have that cheap thin plastic cover. With the 8.1 update the OS is amazing, and I like the fact all my Office files can be synced. (like most people, I use office heavily).Everything is backed up on the cloud with a good bit of memory to use for free and more with paid. I also notice that this phone is compared with new phones like the S4 and the Iphone 5, and still kicking a** that in itself is pretty amazing. I remember the old Nokia brick phones, you could have holes in the the keypad from so much use and busted screen it still worked. I am glad to see Nokia making a comeback.
nokia lumia 920 is the second hammer set after the legendary nokia 3310 and the first of its kind in smart phones.. i'm still trying to get my hands on it but no luck.. wish i'll get it this year lol.. and after watching iphone 6 drop test video i've totally lost my faith on apple ;)... lol they are just making craps...
I use Airview regularly. I'm a heavy e-mail user and the client with built in airview preview is brilliant. No longer do I have to go into each e-mail to read them, I can hover my finger over and read them all very quickly.
You guys seem like smartphone experts. What kind of smartphone do you think I should get? I'm a first time smartphone user and I'm getting one tommorow.
Thank you, the apps are not the priority, what counts is performance and stuff like mailing and document editing. About 928, I'm from EU and we're getting just 925, do you think 920 weight is annoying enough to go for 925 with just 16 gigs?
s4 is just too much in one phone... all those things it offers will eventually become useless... lots of party tricks to brag about with your friends but it feels cheap and i expect it to start lagging like all android phones do... nokia brings the quality to the phone market and i like it as do so many people... it brings the best out of a phone unlike s4 witch is a commercial for samsung it shouts look at me... if you want performance 1.9ghc 64+gb hd screen exc exc you should buy a pc or laptop not a bit of everything but nothing good...
on a similar note, for HTC one series too....they came just back to back, what was the need to do so and why did HTC flood market with different phones in the same price segments.
actually i am coming from the iphone, but it will be cool learning how to use the WP8. And can you answer me if the lumia get hot when you are playing games? And can you conect the wifi from a long distance of the modem? thanks man, I really appreciate
I thought that this video is going to help me to decide which phone to buy, but actually, it's much complicated now!...which one is much better the lumia or GS4?
Thank you and it is a pleasure to be of assistance. Just be sure to put it on charge before trying to install the updates. The latest updates are important to ensure the phone works well and as I previously said; before using the sat nav it is important to install maps or the sat nav and other apps which use map data will not work. I installed the maps for the whole of the UK and the download was about 250mb. Once you have installed the maps, you can use the sat nav when offline which is good.
Can you do programming on it, can you change your background wallpaper, can you add widgets, can you change the launcher? These are some things that you can't do on a Windows phone
Actually I am from Brazil, but I thing is the same proceeding to download the maps. I will be very careful because here in Brazil the Lumia 920 is very expensive and difficult to find. Am I warn about this updates in my phone or I need to look for it on the internet?
I have been a Windows Phone/Mobile user since 2006, my last WP was the Lumia 920. I had issues with signal strength, battery life, and heat on the 920. People are always bragging about the camera on the 920, but I didn't buy a "smartphone" to become a photographer. That being said I recently purchased a Galaxy S4 (out of curiosity) and I love the phone. Its a lot smoother than I thought it would be, apps load right up just like Windows Phone and having a notification area is awesome.
No worries and I am sure you will not be disappointed as it is a great phone, but if you are coming from Android, be prepared for a steep learning curve as WP8 does take some getting used to at first, but once you get to grips with it, it is great. Also make sure you shop around before buying as Lumia 920’s have been coming down in price (in the UK) due to the imminent launch of the 928. I hope you enjoy your new phone and best wishes :-)
Wov! Can I really create my own widgets directly on my S4? I have only had this phone maybe 24 days but I did not know THAT Then it could be a lot cooler than my Lumia 920 as I'm also a progammer (but don't much like to do it at home) Any direct links, please?
The Lumia 920 is the first mass produced smartphone (or mainstream, or whatever word for that is) to utilize wireless charging and a super sensitive touch screen that can be used with a glove on. It is also the first smartphone to have OIS for smooth video recording and really good nighttime pictures. Windows Phone also integrates camera apps with their camera. I'd say that's innovative. Of course, the Galaxy S3 and S4 are pretty innovative too.
After you insert your sim (micro sim required) put your phone on charge and power it on, then go to settings which is a picture of a small cog on the main screen. Then connect to wifi. Once your wifi is connected go back to settings until you find 'Phone Update' press the phone update box which says 'check for updates' and then any available updates will be installed. During major updates the phone will switch on and off during the update process. Good luck and I hope you enjoy using the 920.
really liked this review, it went deep into all interesting features both phones had to offer, personally I would go for the lumia as well because I'm not a big fan of android, I still think windows phone delivers a overall bigger and smoother experience, and it would be nice if samsung delivers awesome hardware for a windows phone
Though it may sound silly, I will be getting a Nokia Lumia 520 for a cheap phone just to play with since aside from the major selling points, 520 and 920 at the core should be the same, But you have confirmed for me that I will be getting the S4 sometime early next year sometime, by then a new one should be out and S4 will be cheaper and older , but not to old that it won't be useful. I like the WP 8 but I will continue to support Android and try them both out. Thanks
the point is that even the lumia having a strong body and large, it is not a brick, it's nice in the hand, and you feel good carrying it, and it's not too heavy if you see the size of it
I'm willing to place a wager that airview and non-touch gestures in general will be a standard feature of all smartphones in 3-4 years timer (after Apple include it, re-name it and act they like they invented it of course).
Lumia battery life is amazing! If I kept battery saver on without a lot internet use I could easily go through two, if not three days of use between charges (presuming you turn it off at night). What do you mean about downloading on facebook? I had a droid before and don't remember doing that.
The battery on my Lumia 920 easily gets through every day. It's very much on par with the iPhone 5 from what I've heard, so it's really not all that bad. Don't know how long the S4 battery holds, but really, would you not charge the phone every night anyways?
I'd love to see a comparison between Windows Phone and Android .. Specially .. HTC Sense 5 Android .. what are the positives and negatives here and there :)
Out of craziness I bought a pre-owned black Lumia 920 from a site similarly to eBay 3 weeks ago (I opt for Lumia 1520 but the condition sold online were mostly poor condition).. Though the Lumia 920 was running Windows 8.1, I was not really happy as there was a slight dent on the top corner (though not that noticeable if just a glance).. I went to a Nokia Service Centre and requested to change to a White housing (thank God they still have it).. Went back then installed Windows 10 Technical Preview at home and it's been an amazing device.. Now I have my daily driver, a white Galaxy Note 3 and a white Lumia 920 :p
good unbiased review. Don't forget that the 920 costs a lot less than s4. $100 vs $200 with contract, and $500 vs $700-800 without. Between these two, I would go with Lumia 920 simply for its look and feel. The s4, as you said, is like a piece of plastic toy phone.
My Lumia is perfect, no problems at all, however I do have a friend who had a self inflicted problem with his. He was in such a hurry to use his new Lumia 920 that he attempted to do a wi-fi update before charging the battery and the battery went flat during the update, this then caused a failure as the update was only partially installed. He had to do a complete reset to fix the problem following his error. I have had mine for a few weeks now and it is true what the reviews say;brilliant camera
you're gonna let a few pixels stop you from buying the HTC One? I just bought mine and it is virtually lag free. I had a WP7 for the past two years and it was nice dont get me wrong, but the windows ecosystem feels way to constricted compared to android. I hated using the zune software to transfer my files from computer. With android its just a simple plug and go.
Nokia never cheats benchmarks, copy others, pay trolls. Etc. respect
Best phone ever: OS: Windows phone
Store: Google play
Display: 6 inch
Desing: Iphone

Bought a pretty new lumia 920 red colour from 2013 today . Still feels so good and flagship level in the hand .
This is great, your reviews are completely not bias which is rare in phone reviewers these days! :D
live tiles makes windows phone different. lumia 920 is the best.

Nokia Lumia is way better than s4

Lumia 920 much more appealing and better hardware and software as far as I'm concerned. Both still brilliant designs
Will there be a comparison video with the Nokia 1100?
i m thinking to buy a windows phone... plz give me some suggestion about it .. Should I buy it or should I go for android.I have short listed Nokia Lumia 920.
if you're a gamer & appfreak go for android , if you want the basic stuff,a more stylish interface and the best camera for that money , buy a 920
Ely Paul thanks...

Do you know when 8.1 is going to come out and will it be available for lumia 720? :)
My choice is Nokia lumia 920!!!!!
Fantastic video! A question where i can find the s4 wallpaper? It's amazing!
I want the nokia!!!
why do you wear yellow glasses? :) just asking, please answer
Samsung of course, Android has so much more apps and features.
More apps, but how many flashlight(using this as an example only) apps do you need?
I use Airview regularly. I'm a heavy e-mail user and the client with built in airview preview is brilliant. No longer do I have to go into each e-mail to read them, I can hover my finger over and read them all very quickly.
I thought that most people prefer Android I thought that I am the only one who likes windows phone 8
you r not the only one
I love windows phone
You guys seem like smartphone experts. What kind of smartphone do you think I should get? I'm a first time smartphone user and I'm getting one tommorow.
Lumia 920 the best
I Loved this comparison! Thank you pocketnow. The comparisons seem to be getting less and less biased. Beautiful!
LUMIA 920 THE BEST
Special thanks Michel fisher and your friends for such great work, really awesome video ;)

Thank you, the apps are not the priority, what counts is performance and stuff like mailing and document editing. About 928, I'm from EU and we're getting just 925, do you think 920 weight is annoying enough to go for 925 with just 16 gigs?
I love Lumia 920 > it's best
Your reviews are second to none most of the time. Thanks.

Love the videos. So detailed and good. Keep it up!
heeey im using a nokia lumia right now but what is the battery app you use in the video?
I thought that this video is going to help me to decide which phone to buy, but actually, it's much complicated now!...which one is much better the lumia or GS4?
Looking forward to the camera software video! I have my s4 preordered

I've been waiting for this so long THANK YOU!!!!
so tell me why there are ~165,000 apps then?
not for sale?
Can you do programming on it, can you change your background wallpaper, can you add widgets, can you change the launcher? These are some things that you can't do on a Windows phone
may i know whats the battery app you use on lumia 920?
Thanks, I hope you guys will do it.
I'm getting the HTC One. I just listen to the reviews cos this guy is fantastic. Wish all reviewers were this good.
must make a camera comparison video, lumia 920 vs htc one.
@pocketnowvideo awesome review. please tell me the wallpaper name on Samsung s4.
Actually I am from Brazil, but I thing is the same proceeding to download the maps. I will be very careful because here in Brazil the Lumia 920 is very expensive and difficult to find. Am I warn about this updates in my phone or I need to look for it on the internet?
it still has the word "lag" right?
I have been a Windows Phone/Mobile user since 2006, my last WP was the Lumia 920. I had issues with signal strength, battery life, and heat on the 920.

You seem more like taking side to Lumia !!
BTW: I like that "ready to take your money" part :)
I bought an external battery and just ordered a battery sleeve/case for the Lumia 920
The S4A doesn't have a battery sleeve/case until September
You should go through all the phones from the galaxy line, comparing how it has changed over time
No worries and I am sure you will not be disappointed as it is a great phone, but if you are coming from Android, be prepared for a steep learning curve as WP8 does take some getting used to at first, but once you get to grips with it, it is great.

Does the lumia have most apps that android offers?
Guys, seriously, make a comparison between the GS4 and the Nexus 4? Should I save the money, or is't worth it?
Why is your name Windows7? :P
funny how the call quality part comes at a later stage of the video lol..after all they're phones right?!
lumia too old to buy now? or is it still great?
920 you mean? Its too old in 2016, at least get the Lumia 930
Wov!
Can I really create my own widgets directly on my S4?
I have only had this phone maybe 24 days
but I did not know THAT
Then it could be a lot cooler than my Lumia 920
as I'm also a progammer
(but don't much like to do it at home)
Any direct links, please?
pls show a comparison between the ipad mini and galaxy camera
I am planning to get 920 tommorow. At 2016 do u think is it still a good buy?
if your going for a windows phone ya
Tnx. Do u know what is the last build of w10m tjat i can install in lumia920?? Tnx
what's the battery app on the lumia 920 @ 9:50 ?
The Lumia 920 is the first mass produced smartphone (or mainstream, or whatever word for that is) to utilize wireless charging and a super sensitive touch screen that can be used with a glove on. It is also the first smartphone to have OIS for smooth video recording and really good nighttime pictures. Windows Phone also integrates camera apps with their camera. I'd say that's innovative. Of course, the Galaxy S3 and S4 are pretty innovative too.
hello.. i wanted to buy a windows phone.. so should i go for htc 8x or lumia 920?? any difference between this 2??
The front facing camera pic from the GS4 was pretty sharp
What's better nokia lumia or galaxy s4 ???
which do you prefer for you
How about web browsing using miracast on a big HDTV?
After you insert your sim (micro sim required) put your phone on charge and power it on, then go to settings which is a picture of a small cog on the main screen. Then connect to wifi. Once your wifi is connected go back to settings until you find 'Phone Update' press the phone update box which says 'check for updates' and then any available updates will be installed. During major updates the phone will switch on and off during the update process. Good luck and I hope you enjoy using the 920.
Michael, What phone do you use in your daily life? Also which phone is your favourite?
This is one of the most unbiased reviews I have seen. I appreciate that. I
What's the title of that movie @ 4:07
really liked this review, it went deep into all interesting features both phones had to offer, personally I would go for the lumia as well because I'm not a big fan of android, I still think windows phone delivers a overall bigger and smoother experience, and it would be nice if samsung delivers awesome hardware for a windows phone
Though it may sound silly, I will be getting a Nokia Lumia 520 for a cheap phone just to play with since aside from the major selling points, 520 and 920 at the core should be the same, But you have confirmed for me that I will be getting the S4 sometime early next year sometime, by then a new one should be out and S4 will be cheaper and older , but not to old that it won't be useful. I like the WP 8 but I will continue to support Android and try them both out. Thanks
pocketnow pls give this comparison
lumia 920 vs iphone 5 vs galaxy s4 vs htc one camera
I add also with the Nokia you have live tiles which are constantly streaming content, of course the battery drains quicker.
I think you got these signs messed up . > means superior and < means inferior.
Great comparison and cool glasses.
the point is that even the lumia having a strong body and large, it is not a brick, it's nice in the hand, and you feel good carrying it, and it's not too heavy if you see the size of it
I'm willing to place a wager that airview and non-touch gestures in general will be a standard feature of all smartphones in 3-4 years timer (after Apple include it, re-name it and act they like they invented it of course).
You should talk about price also. there is huge diff between GS4 and L920...
Does anyone know if Nokia fixed the dusty camera on the Lumia 920? I want this phone so much :)
Lumia battery life is amazing! If I kept battery saver on without a lot internet use I could easily go through two, if not three days of use between charges (presuming you turn it off at night). What do you mean about downloading on facebook? I had a droid before and don't remember doing that.

would you do a giveaway of them pleeeeeeese?
Nice comparison, really helpful!
what does that have to do? playstation users have a pc with windows to browse on internet right?
good unbiased review. Don't forget that the 920 costs a lot less than s4. $100 vs $200 with contract, and $500 vs $700-800 without. Between these two, I would go with Lumia 920 simply for its look and feel. The s4, as you said, is like a piece of plastic toy phone.

where's Lumia 928?
you're gonna let a few pixels stop you from buying the HTC One? I just bought mine and it is virtually lag free. I had a WP7 for the past two years and it was nice dont get me wrong, but the windows ecosystem feels way to constricted compared to android. I hated using the zune software to transfer my files from computer. With android its just a simple plug and go.
About the screen, you forgot to mention that you can manipulate with your Nokia using gloves, that is useful.
