Nokia today unveiled its next generation Lumia smartphones, including the flagship Nokia Lumia 920 and the Lumia 820, both of which will run Windows Phone 8.
The company, however, did not reveal pricing or release dates for the new devices.
The Lumia 920 features a 4.5-inch curved glass WXGA IPS LCD display that boasts what Nokia called PureMotion HD+, which the company said is “better than HD resolution.” That includes blur-free scrolling; “scroll through an email or webpage [and] the text stays crystal sharp,” said Jo Harlow, head of Nokia’s mobile phones business.
According to Kevin Shields, a senior vice president at Nokia, the Lumia 920 includes the fastest LCD display ever shipped on a smartphone. One of the device’s features include the ability to navigate the touch screen while wearing gloves; “it detects bare skin and gloves,” he said, for a phone “that fits more naturally into your life.”
The Lumia 920 includes an 8.7-megapixel rear-facing camera and full 1080p HD video capture at 30 fps. There is a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera with 720p HD video capture.
The Lumia 820 features the same 1,5GHz Snapdragon S4 processor of the 920, 1GB and 8GB of flash storage which can be supplemented with microSD cards up to 32GB in size.
