7 Reasons To Buy the Nokia Lumia 920,(Could This Be The Dominating Smartphone by 2013?)

Reason one: PureMotion HD+ display
The Nokia Lumia 900 has a ClearBlack display and some testing earlier this year revealed that the Lumia 900 has a better outdoor display than the iPhone 4S and Galaxy S. Nokia is now taking that ClearBlack display technology to the next level and showed us all their PureMotion HD+ technology that looks to be the leading display on smartphones today. The PureMotion HD+ display automatically adjusts to sunlight glare, has those gorgeous deep blacks, provides super smooth scrolling through pixel translation speeds that are 2.5x faster than other phones, and works with fingernails, fingertips, and fingers covered with gloves.



Reason two: PureView camera technology
The Nokia 808 PureView sets the bar for all camera phones and really stands alone at 8.7 mgp. Nokia has an interesting white paper (PDF link) on the details of the camera technology used in the Lumia 920. As Nokia states this is the second phase in PureView technology and includes some of the core pieces such as high performance Carl Zeiss optics and powerful image processing algorithms. Low light performance is a major feature in this new camera, along with video image stabilization.



Reason three: Nokia Maps
Nokia Maps is the best service Nokia has ever offered and I use it on several different platforms. There is offline map support with free turn-by-turn navigation, daily commute and local traffic reports, Nokia Transport for public transit schedules, and Nokia City Lens for augmented reality discovery.

Reason four: Windows Phone 8
There are eight new platform improvements coming in Windows Phone 8 and there are still many details remaining to be revealed. Looking forward to seeing what Nokia does with NFC since they have been using it well on their Symbian devices and accessories. The new Start screen looks fantastic for the Windows Phones are used.



Reason five: Qi wireless charging
Something unique that distinguishes the Nokia Lumia from other Windows Phone 8 devices and from Androids and Apple. Nokia showed off several accessories that take advantage of this wireless charging technology. The partnership deals with coffee shops is excellent and hope we see more of these moving forward too.



Reason six: Nokia Music
Nokia Music just launched late last week for US Lumia owners. Comparing it to the Zune Pass and other subscription services,the big deal here is that it is FREE for Lumia owners. If you enjoy music, then getting a free service like this can provide significant regular savings to your smartphone ownership costs.

Reason seven: Color selection
Again, this may not mean much to many people, but having color options for my devices and plan to purchase the yellow Lumia 920 as long as it is supported on one of my carriers. Even if Nokia doesn't sell a ton of the yellow models, I think bold colors like this will help get people into the stores and generate conversation around the device, which is exactly what Nokia needs to do to gain marketshare.
Nokia looks to be doing everything possible to help Windows Phone succeed and make sure they are around to compete in the smartphone space. I don't know what else people were expecting from Nokia or Windows Phone 8, but in my opinion they went above my expectations with unique features such as the amazing display and Qi wireless charging.

Although Apple's iOS is one great operating system, but iPhones are way to overpriced and overhyped. Other competitors would need to say " ENOUGH OF THIS!"

Watch out for benchmark results. The Windows Phone 8 + Lumia 920 tandem will smoke every other smartphones out there, I promise! Windows Phone 8 will be so powerful that it will make Android and iOS outdated

The scenario is going to be like this:

WP8: I am the most powerful and buttery smooth operating system there is! Top that!
iOS: You got 700,000 apps?
Android: You got 650,000 apps?
WP8: No, but in 2-years time. We are the fastest-growing mobile ecosystem. Now back to the original topic!

Hopefully it will. Almost 70% of Microsoft Windows income goes to charity worldwide to feed impoverished children. Thanks to the Bill Gates Foundation.
