Nokia joined the battle with Apple & Samsung by launching its new smartphone, the Nokia Lumia 920. The new Nokia Lumia 920 has included some attractive specifications like 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual core processor, a 4.5 inch dispaly with a 768 x 1280 resolution. This new Lumia 920 runs on a latest Windows Phone 8 operating system, upon which Microsoft hopes to compete with its rivals Google's Android and Apple's iOS.


The Lumia 920 will be a flagship Windows phone that has wireless charging capability and the camera uses "PureView" technolgy to reduce blurring due to shaky motions of our hands. Nokia says the new Lumia will be available in 5 colors namely Yellow, black, white, grey & red. Nokia also brings the wireless charging built on the Qi wireless power standard.

Nokia also said that it would announce the pricing and roll-out dates on a country by country fashion. This is really disappointing!

Microsoft hoping best for sales of Lumia that could convince other mobile manufacturers and carriers to support its Window Phone 8. This new OS gives the faster performance and customizable start screen. Although, Samsung became the first in announcing a smartphone running on Windows Phone 8.
