Nokia Lumia 820 vs Nokia Lumia 920 vs Samsung Galaxy S3

I was searching video sites in determining the difference between Lumia smartphones. Found below is an in-depth comparison  of the Nokia Lumia 820 and the new version Nokia Lumia 920.

I think the Nokia Lumia 920 is quite impressive compared to other smartphones by Samsung and Apple. It's got better camera viewing quality. The Lumia 920 boasts of Nokia's new imaging technology, the PureView techwhich reduces the blurring of the image/video being shot. Aside from this, the Lumia 920 has a wider  curved screen, a scratch-proof case, a faster processor and LTE 4G, and really cool, innovative ideas.

The Lumia 920 is smart in a sense that it, not only adjusts the brightness, but also the color spectrum with regards to the vibrance of the sunlight in the environment. Moreover, the Lumia 920 possesses wireless charging technology by magnetic induction; thus, there's no need for cables or wires.

It's got near-field communication (NFC) that allows just a tapping movement to signal start of automatic headphone pairing or photo sharing. Think about convenience; there's no need to change the Bluetooth settings.

The Lumia 920 also has the capability to transform images into GIFs (animated images). Aside from that, it's got the world's fastest, brightest and most sensitive display, and an enviable augmented reality!

Nokia faked Lumia smartphone ad stirs controversy

A keen-eyed viewer of the latest advertisement for Nokia smartphone Lumia's optical image stabilization (OIS) technology has captured what others didn't see.

In the faked Lumia-shot video, a window reflection revealed  a cameraman holding an SLR camera when it should have appeared as being video recorded using the Windows Phone 8 handset. Nokia did not disclose it wasn't shot using Lumia.

To see the cameraman, watch between 0:25 and 0:28.

In the Nokia Lumia advertisement, a man appears to be filming his girlfriend using the new Lumia while bicycling. All the time, it seems that the video was captured using Nokia's flagship smartphone. After a while, two short-duration footages can be seen comparing absence and presence of Nokia's OIS technology, which is thought to be significantly reducing image blur.  

The real reason the Lumia advert was then showed was to reveal the extent of image quality the OIS technology can offer.

Stocks fell more than 6 percent after the announcement. The Finnish company has apologized after misleading the viewers.
