The new Lumias get however fierce competition. Samsung, Nokia already quite some wind out of the sails by being the first to announce a new phone based on Windows Phone 8. Most units of the South Korean manufacturer run on Android.

At a joint press conference of Nokia and Microsoft were in New York the mobile future of both companies explained. Most attention went to the striking newcomer Lumia 920, a smartphone which is available in bright yellow, red lipstick and - fortunately - in subtle gray.

Specs, Price and Review
The Lumia 920 is the new flagship of Nokia, and the first Nokia smartphone with Windows Phone 8 operating system. As previously leaked, the Lumia 920 has a 4.5-inch LCD screen, a deserving dual-core processor and 1 GB RAM. Nice is that this phone can be recharged wirelessly.

Pure View Camera
But it is above the Pure-view camera of the Nokia Lumia 920 which emphasized. At first glance it looks like a normal 8.7-megapixel camera, but the Pure View label suggests that there is more going on. The Nokia 808 Nokia Pure View showed indeed that the more than decent camera phones can make, and the Lumia 920 is an offshoot of.

For example, the camera lens such technology that the tiny movements of your hand and detects the camera lens still poised to deliver sharp images, even in low light conditions without flash. Nokia claims that this is the best camera in a smartphone to find. We give them the benefit of the doubt.

The screen is something they are proud to Nokia. Through clever tricks, both the hue and the brightness of the display is adapted to the light, giving you the device easy even outside in the sun should use. Useful for insensitive to the cold is that you display this Lumia 920 can operate with gloves on.

Microsoft - Windows Phone 8
But it was not just a Nokia show. Even Joe Belfiore from Microsoft came to tell you something about Windows Phone 8 operating system. The most striking novelty of Windows Phone 8, the smaller tiles on the home screen. This gives you an extra size to the home screen completely set as you want. Through your favorite contacts directly in stamp format on the screen pins, for example.

Windows Phone 8 can also make screenshots. A convenient addition to technology journalists who write about Windows Phone and pictures of menus to share, but not exactly something that an average consumer convinces a Windows smartphone to choose. Windows Phone 8 is a logical evolution of the current Windows Phone 7 platform, with a better camera application, extensive integration with SkyDrive (online storage service from Microsoft), and a number of other improvements.

Lumia 820
Nokia also showed a second smartphone with Windows Phone 8. They seemed almost forgotten it myself, but also the smaller Lumia 820 was very briefly explained at the press conference. A bit strange, because the Lumia 800 - 820 to which it refers - the standard model of the previous generations Lumia was the Lumia 710 and 610 at the bottom, and the larger Lumia 900 as outlier.

At the second iteration of Nokias Lumia series is the 920 basic model, the Lumia 820 and a carbon copy with a 4.3-inch screen, the same dual-core processor and 8 GB of storage.

Prices and availability of both devices are currently not yet published.

Nokia Share Crashed
Investors appeared Wednesday not yet convinced of the new Lumia models. Nokias share went after the announcement almost 13 percent crashed. One analyst said the new devices too much build on earlier versions of the Lumia, not great commercial success have become. Nokia, until recently the largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world, since losing the smartphone has been introduced rapidly share.
