Street Fight; Nokia Lumia 920 Beats iPhone 5 With Video Image Stabilization

Street Fight; Nokia Lumia 920 Beats iPhone 5 With Video Image Stabilization

Hai! friends.. I know that you all have seen Street fights on streets or in WWF. Similarly, here i am going to show a Street fight between Nokia Lumia 920 Vs IPhone 5, in this fight as usually Nokia Lumia 920 wins like a World heavy weight champion.

Smartphone-makers are adding more features that make handhelds a sufficient replacement for a digital video or still camera while on the go, including better sensors, better optics, and now image stabilization. Nokia unveiled its Lumia 920flagship first and promised that its optical image stabilization for capturing non-shaky video is among the best in the industry and Apple followed up with its iPhone 5 announcement promising a sapphire glass crystal lens cover and video image stabilization. Given Nokia’s OIS and sensor-shift technology for image stabilization, the Lumia 920 beats the iPhone 5‘s software-based image stabilization.

Engadget editor Myriam Joire visited Nokia headquarters in Finland and pitted the iPhone 5 up against the Lumia 920 and finds that the Lumia performed significantly better. Using a foam holster, Joire and the Engadget crew ran through the parking lot with both devices side-by-side and video was more stable when recorded using Nokia’s stabilization technology compared to Apple’s device

The Lumia 920 is still currently a pre-production unit so hopefully Nokia will be able to fine-tune the smartphone further before it launches with Windows Phone 8.

The Lumia 920 is built on Nokia’s PureView technology. While the Nokia 808 PureView focused on megapixel count and a large sensor, the Lumia 920 is based on taking better low light images and stabilized videos.

I hope that you have enjoy this Street fight and now you can understand who is the real winner..Don't forget to comment below about your view.Thanks...

By now, many of you with Nokia Lumia devices have already downloaded the new Nokia Drive from Windows Marketplace.  In case you are still waiting to download the new Nokia Drive, here are five reasons why you should do it, post haste.

Explore the world without worrying about data costs: 

You want to explore a new region or country that you are visiting, and want to drive around without worrying about data costs or going through the hassle of getting a local SIM card. Or you are in a place where cell reception is spotty at best. Not to worry – all you need to do is use WiFi to download the country or region maps that you are planning to explore, and Nokia Drive’s offline feature will help you.  You can be offline to save data charges, and still find and get to where you need to be. Search for places and addresses or get voice guided turn-by-turn directions to your destination without needing a data connection.

Drive safe and savvy: 

Sometimes the road stretches ahead, or you are a bit busy, and you forget about the speed limit.  The new Nokia Drive shows you the speed limit of the road you are on, and warns you when you go above the speed limit. You can also adjust the alert settings to fit your needs.

Update your loved ones on when to expect you:

 “Are we there yet?”  “When will we be there?” If you have driven with a group, you are familiar with these questions. Or you may want to let your friends know when exactly you will arrive at their party. When you drive, you want all the pertinent information at a glance. The new Nokia Drive lets you quickly see your estimated time of arrival, time remaining to destination, and distance to destination.

Nokia Lumia 920 vs Lumia 820: spec comparison

Nokia Lumia 920 vs Lumia 820: spec 

comparison

Nokia launched a pair of new smartphones running Windows Phone 8 in New York at the beginning of September 2012, with the Lumia 820 and the Lumia 920 set to replace the Lumia 800 and Lumia 900 as the Finnish firm's flagship mobile duo.

The Lumia 820 will be the mainstream model, with the Lumia 920 pegged as the company's new high-end offering. However, given that the Lumia 920 costs £399, a mere 44 per cent more than the £225 Lumia 820, it's well worth looking at the differences between the two.

Form, look & feel, size & weight:

The Lumia 920 is available in yellow, red, grey, white and black, while the Lumia 820 can be had in red, yellow, grey, cyan, purple, white and black flavours - no sleek blue hues like with the Samsung Galaxy S3, or HTC's recently launched Windows Phone 8 series. As for look and feel, the Lumia 920 inherits much from the Lumia 900, featuring a bizarre but attractive synergy of rounded vertical sides and sharp horizontal edges and corners - at times, it feels like a flattened elliptical cylinder. The Lumia 820 on the other hand is all about curves, a decision partly driven by the fact that it features changeable shells. The Lumia 920 is bigger, thicker and heavier than the Lumia 820, though both handsets can be described as being chubby and sizeable.

Display:

The Lumia 920 has a 4.5in display with a 1,280 x 768 pixel resolution (WXGA), the highest of any smartphone on the market barring the original Galaxy Note. It equates to a pixel density of 332 PPI, which is a smidgen higher than the Retina featured on the iPhone 5. The Lumia 820 has a slightly smaller 4.3in display with a disappointing 800 x 480 pixel resolution at 217 PPI. In real-life life, the translation is simple: images a considerably less sharp.

The screen on the Lumia 820 is an OLED model, while the one featured on the Lumia 920 is PureMotion HD+ IPS, complete with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass . In non-geek lingo - and according to Nokia - it means that the Lumia 920's scratch-resistant screen is noticeably brighter than the competition and boasts a refresh rate that’s nearly twice as fast to boot. Both handsets benefit from ClearBlack technology, which allows for improved readability in direct sunlight.

Storage & memory:

The Lumia 920 and the Lumia 820 both come with 1GB of RAM. The former has 32GB on-board storage, while the latter has only 8GB but does come with a microSD card slot capable of expanding capacity up to 32GB. It's an affordable option, as you can pick up a card for as little as £10 these days, so owners of the Lumia 820 users will have access to additional storage for next to nothing.

Processor:

Both smartphones use the same chipset, a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC, the MSM8960, which is etched using a 28nm manufacturing process for lower power consumption. It's clocked at 1.5GHz, is based on the new-gen Krait architecture, and uses an Adreno 225 GPU. Moreover, both devices offer LTE capabilities, with the the Lumia 820 therefore emerging as the arguably the most affordable 4G-ready handset on the market.

That same MSM8960 model chipset also features on a number of other high-end smartphones, like the HTC One XL, the Samsung ATIV S, and the newer additions to the Motorola Droid RAZR series. The fact that both the 820 and the 920 use the same SoC is reminiscent of the similarities between the Lumia 800 and the Lumia 710.

Software: 

Both devices will run Windows Phone 8, which offers 7GB of online cloud storage to new users as a sweetener. The new Lumia devices also offer a number of exclusive applications, like Nokia's comprehensive Maps suite - the company recently claims it is streets ahead of rivals Google and Apple with regards to digital cartography - as well as the Nokia Music Store, though Mix Radio won't feature apparently. On the whole, Windows Phone 8 should be as fast on the Lumia 820 as on the more expensive Lumia 920. For more on Nokia's latest handsets and  Windows Phone 8, check out our feature on the Lumia 920 and the potential pay-off of adopting Microsoft's new-gen mobile OS.

Battery:

The Lumia 820 has a 1,650 mAh battery, while the more expensive Lumia 920 has a 2,000mAh engine. The 21 per cent extra capacity means the latter device claims superior longevity specs: talk time of 10 hours vs 8 hours on the Lumia 820, standby of 400 hours vs 330 hours respectively, better music playback duration (67 hours vs 55 hours), and superior video playback time (5 hours vs 6 hours). Both boast the ability to wirelessly charge, utilising Qi technology.

Camera:

The Lumia 920 borrowed some tricks from the PureView 808. Although it doesn’t top the best-of-class 41-megapixels offered by the 808 , the optical sensor on the 920 still reaches an impressive 8.7-megapixels. It features an innovative optical image stabilization technology, a BSI sensor, a superfast f/2.0 aperture, and a dual LED flash. As for the Lumia 820, it hits 8-megapixels, has a f/2.2 aperture speed, but lacks the BSI sensor of its bigger brother. Both come with Carl Zeiss optics, full HD video recording capabilities, and camera resolution of 3,264 x 2,448 pixels. There’s also an HD ready front facing camera on the Lumia 920, though the Lumia 820 has to make do with a secondary VGA snapper. As you would expect given the pricing, the 920 clearly outpaces the 820.

Connectivity:

Exactly the same across the two devices, which is a refreshing gesture on Nokia's part given the general trend for mid-range smartphones to offer inferior connectivity features. Both have NFC capabilities, Bluetooth 3.1, Wi-Fi, a microUSB port, and are compatible with 4G LTE networks. Neither features an HDMI port for high-quality external connections, though, and there seems to be a dearth of decent accessories, with a paltry eight add-ons currently listed for the Lumia 820 on Nokia’s website. Hopefully this is an area that will improve once the two handsets hit shops, but thankfully both come readied for the best and most modern wireless technologies.

Price & value:

Unfortunately, we don't know what the cost of monthly contracts will be for either mobile. The Lumia 820 costs about £165 less than the Lumia 920 once you account for the quasi-obligatory 32GB microSD card you need to get comparable storage on the cheaper product. Cough up the premium for the Lumia 920 and you get a bigger, better screen with a higher-quality display, a different design, vastly superior cameras, and a more durable battery - in short, a much better handset, though the Lumia 820 looks superb value, especially with regards to 4G. Is it worth it? For me, yes - but what do you think? And what about how the Lumia 920 matches up to the iPhone 5?

Video: Comparing Apple Maps and Nokia Maps; both on iOS 6

Video: Comparing Apple Maps and Nokia Maps; both on iOS 6

It isn't news anymore that latest "invention"; the Apple maps which comes with their new iOS6 update is appalling and quite frankly it is unusable. I already have a couple of iPhone4 friends who are asking me for advise between android and windows phone as they are prepared to switch and of course you know my response :) and they did too.

The bad news is iOS6 and Apple's map app is horrible, the good news however is that iPhone users can use Nokia's effective maps system from their browser. Yes, Nokia's browser map is 200% better and more efficient that Apple maps.

Here is a video from unleash the phones” Alvin Wong” comparing the new, but useless Apple maps with Nokia maps on an iOS6 running iphone.

Watch the above Video and decide your self which is the great one between Nokia Lumia 920 Or iPhones.. Don't forget to comment about this post.....Thanks..
