Hasta La Gadget!

Remember the (we didn’t know it was this then) Lumia 920 PureView trailer? Well, it sure as heck looked stunning, but apparently, Nokia has put their best foot forward and claimed that the trailer was filmed using a different camera, sending their apologies along the way in the event of any confusion occurring. Here is their apology in the full.

We’re excited about the Lumia 920 and the ground-breaking PureView imaging capabilities we announced today. In an effort to demonstrate the benefits of optical image stabilization (which eliminates blurry images and improves pictures shot in low light conditions), we produced a video that simulates what we will be able to deliver with OIS. Of course, hindsight is 20/20, but we should have posted a disclaimer stating this was a representation of OIS only. This was not shot with a Lumia 920. At least, not yet. We apologize for the confusion we created.

I guess someone should just get the Nokia Lumia 920 and actually shoot a video in real life situations to come up with an actual comparison so that there is no more pretence.

When we watched the latest ad from Nokia showing off its PureView technology in the Lumia and ridiculously fluid optical image stabilization, we were stunned. Excited. Happy. If the camera on the Lumia was that good, we wanted it. Badly. Immediately. But sadly, it was faked. Nokia isn’t showing off what the Lumia 920 can do—that video was shot with a big DSLR. More »

Everyone who regularly deals with cold winters knows the pain of using a smartphone in January — you’re usually forced to take your gloves off and risk frostbite if that call just can’t wait. Nokia’s new Lumia 820 and Lumia 920 phones bring in a Synaptics ClearPad Series 3 sensor whose responsiveness will keep those hands toasty. Super Sensitive Touch, as Nokia calls it, lets the capacitive surface react to more than just direct skin contact: it can recognize input through gloves, as well as from those with long fingernails. You’ll want to spring for the Lumia 920 if you envision updating Twitter during a sunny skiing trip, however. On top of that extra-large 1,280 x 768 resolution, the 920’s PureMotion HD+ display is reportedly about 25 percent brighter than its next-best rival. We’re looking forward to a real field test — not to mention preserving all the feeling in our fingers.
