Nokia almost got it right!
Srikiran D (May 29, 2014)

The first thing any user will notice on picking up the phone is its weight. It is bulky and heavier than competitor flagships. It is interesting that Nokia is giving low priority to weight of the devices time and time again. Move past the weight and you get to meet an awesome flagship.
Build Quality: It looks elegant and clean with polycarbonate shell going around. The phone sits in your palm very comfortably with hardware buttons easily accessible. The phone is big for a 4.5 inch screen mainly due to the huge space at the bottom for touch controls. However, this should not be an issue. The screen is easily accessible with a thumb (once you get used to). The rounded edges of the screen gives a sense of completeness to the phone. There is no awkward discontinuity between screen and the rest of the body.
Display : Though most of the displays released at this time used AMOLED, Nokia has gone with IPS LCD display. It boasts a PureMotion HD+ and clear black display. Though n my experience it did not feel clearblack. There is some leakage of light from dark pixels at high brightness. The colors are very vivid and feel natural. The display is also very clear in bright light.
Camera: The most anticipated feature and justice done! The 8MP PureView with OIS and complemented by dual LED flash helps in getting great quality photos in almost any situation. Nokia Camera app gives freedom to control focus, exposure, shutter time etc manually and very helpful for aspiring professionals. However, you might want to get a tripod to get best shot possible. Don't want to be a pro, no issues the stock app is best at getting it right. There is lenses feature which allows shooting in various modes.
Inside the phone: Nokia has held back on the hardware. It has a 1.5GHz dual core alongside a 1GB RAM. Though the specs are not high, they do not affect the speed and smoothness generally seen on flagships. This is mainly because of the less bulky Windows OS. There is no external memory slot. But you get 29 GB internal of the 32GB. Pretty decent if you ask me. It has built in wireless charging, which I felt is very useful but then I got free wireless charger.
OS: Windows 8 OS might not be mature yet and has lot of drawbacks, but it feels new and different. The live tiles are simple and elegant. Nokia has enhanced the experience with its "here" suite as well as with the city lens the augmented reality app to find places nearby. The recent updates and 8.1 have addressed issues like notification center, multi-tasking, customization etc. However the platform lacks traction mainly due to apps. A user moving from other platforms will feel this dearth. There are replacements but they are just replacements.
Battery life on this is good. It supports continuous (literally) chatting on whatsapp using 3G for 9 hours.
Another drawback to this phone is the price. For a similar or higher config there are androids in the market. But this camera is the best this money can buy on a smartphone.

One of the best windows phone
Praful Yadav (May 5, 2014)
on Gadgets 360
Lumia 920 is currently the flagship device from the house of Nokia. It is undoubtedly the best windows phone in the market to date....it simply beats HTC's 8X in almost each and every aspect. Thanks to the Pureview HD+ display...the display is awesome...It also has the Nokia's PureView technology in its camera. Pureview is a technology, which samples the photograph by combining multiple shots taken by camera. Hence, the main benefit of this technology is that we get a very crisp and clear image with almost zero noise level. Lumia 920 sports an 8.7 MP camera, which is almost as good as a Nokia N8's 12 MP camera due to the legendary Pureview technology. If you wanna spend in excess of 40k to get a windows phone..then this is the phone for you. Simply opt for this one...its better than a HTC 8X in its category. The touchscreen is awesome...and so is of all the windows phone devices! The social connectivity options on a windows phone device are just awesome..and a must-try. The phone sports a dual core processor, which makes sure...that our apps are running as smooth as butter. Well...Lumia 920 is powered by NFS feature too, by which we can share data on other NFC-enabled device....simply by a tap. This is the phone windows phone fanboys were waiting for so long. Well....If you could afford one and wish to spend to get a windows phone only...then the competition comes between Lumia 920 and 8X. The winner tag goes obviously to the Nokia's flagship Lumia 920!
Thanks for reading my review.

Nokia Lumia 920 pros and cons
Shubhi Patil (Nov 1, 2015)
on Gadgets 360
Cons:
1]Problem in deleting contacts.
Each time you have to click on the required contact and then automatically call will start
so you got to stop call ,then go to details and then delete.
2]View contact
If you click on contact name to view details,it will directly call on that contact.
3]Bluetooth defect
Cannot transfer data to other devices via bluetooth.
It can only be used to play music on speakers.
4]Front end camera not good.
Backend camera and nokia microfocus starts giving problem after a year.
Camera quality goes worst.
Flash and other settings not much useful in capturing photos.
No red eye correction.
5]Not as flexible work can be done in office app as compared to the work we do
on PC.
6]If played games,cell gets very hot and battery gradually low .
7] You cannot download or have much exposure to different trending apps compared to android and Iphone.

Windows phone 8 is an amazing Mobile OS by itself, and it has been mastered with Nokia Quality and attention to detail! what else does a man need?? :-P
Nowhere on the planet can you find a phone better built than this one, in every way it outsmarts the entire lag infested, crappy Android phones!!

You?ll be laughing at everyone around you thinking in your mind? ?Ignorance Is Bliss? how ppl holding ancient androids and iPhone?s, and have no idea about the level of comfort and joy you?re experiencing with your Nokia Lumia 920, and the Windows Phone 8 OS!
I have a Lumia 800, running on Windows 7.8, and I?m addicted!! It?s a slightly lightened version of the windows phone 8 OS. and Runns so smooth!!
It is simple a phone with an unbeatable Built Quality and OS Stability!!
with Amazing Features!! which no other phone on the planet have!!

I have been waiting for this phone since its launch and checking out all news of it ... I own an iPhone but Lumia 920 is the most awesome phone I've ever seen .. Its Display is better than any other phone ... you can use gloves and use it .. use key-rings to operate .. best part is the Camera .. legendary Pureview 8 MP camera with OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer)!!
Wireless charging is handy .. Moreover Windows 8 has apps that are majorly required ..In my iPhone i have 90 apps ... i hardly use 5 a day ... in Windows APP Store U have the most required apps unlike unnecessary similar kind of apps like in Google Play For Android .. This Phone is my favorite and i am getting it soon ,#let price reduce

The most innovative Handset ever...
Jacks Blacks (Jan 1, 2013)

+ves :
1) The best camera on a smartphone : I got mind blown by the low light photo quality..Also the optical image stabilization rocks in video too..
2) The rich audio recording is awesome... The sound recorded on the video feels life a pro camera recording.,
3) Awesome screen: High res screen, good readabilty in the outside with clearblack display.
4) Windows phone is the OS of the future. With windows 8 and its update windows blue which will bring phone and desktop counterpart even more closer together. With future updates we will see the platform improving a lot... (nokia's expertise in mobile space + microsofts is an awesome combination)
5)Wireless charging : Into the future
6) Polycarbonite unibody design
7) Sensitive screen :works with gloves
8) 4.5 inch the perfect size
and lots more
-ves
1) A little bulky by today's standards ,but once you go to the store and use it the size feels perfect.
2) I am not a fan of glossy colours, i would have prefered matte finish with all the colours

I don't knw why people see innovation in Samsung...which is cheap in quality...configuration doesn't resembles quality.....
Nokia delivers quality....and in Lumia....quality and class is at nice level.
Windows phone 8 is neat and clean , smoother, more fluidic...and contains almost all major apps.....and after iphone one should go for Nokia.
and Android is sluggish...everything needs an application...needs more processing ...consumes more battery...so untidy...less smooth...millions of crappy softwares on app stores.....and Android is a cheater in look n feel...
Choice is yours...a genuine product(obviously nokia is) or a cheaply designed product(samsung which can't innovate anything , only can market craps to innocent people without any feel in their product)
