Why Nokia Lumia 920 is better than iPhone 5?

The other day, there were a few of my friends who were talking about iPhone 5...it's coming to Malaysia...all the excitement seems to be getting in...but wait a minute...did they read? Haven't people heard of the latest Nokia Lumia 920...which in my opinion, is better than the iPhone...
Well, here are the few reasons why I think the Nokia Lumia 920 is a better smartphone than the iPhone 5. 

Innovative design and the ability to charge up without plugging in....

The Nokia Lumia 920 comes in a design that is very different from the current smartphones available in the market...the color of the phone is youthful and vibrant...it is as though the Lumia 920 is shouting to everyone that it is time for the Lumia family to shine....

Of course, the downside of it is the weight....it is pretty much heavier in comparison to iPhone...

Then, the Nokia Lumia 920 has the ability to charge up without plugging in...known as the Qi contactless charging. So, no more plugging in and out...just put in on a wireless charger and one is good to go. 

can the iPhone 5 do this? Impossible!!

DISPLAY

The 4.5-inch, 1,280 x 768 enhanced IPS screen is titled PureMotion HD+, and while the 332ppi means Windows Phone 8 looks crisp and images are superbly showcased, new technology here also improves the screen's transition response. No doubt, the iPhone 5 has the amazing display as well known as retina display but this simply helps the Lumia 920 to be on par with one of the greatest strength of the Apple's latest iPhone addition. 

You can be wearing glove and still touch on the Lumia

If you don't believe me, see it for yourself...the Synaptics-powered capacitive screen while wearing gloves, and the phone performed just as well as it did when it was first unveiled. iPhone hardly respond to much of what is being touch while wearing glove...
The surface even picks up nails and some pens -- something we had no fear of testing ourselves thanks to the protection offered by a coating of Gorilla Glass.

PUREVIEW Technology...(CAMERA MAGIC!!)

Now, you can be assured of the quality of the photos taken with your phone even under low lighting....
The promise of superb low-light performance, 1080p video capture, and (on both stills and video) optical image stabilization -- the first floating lens and sensor in a phone that will ignore minor trembles while letting in more light.

WINDOWS PHONE 8

You are hearing me right? Windows Phone 8 OS could be one of the main selling point here....
Unlike the older Windows mobile version, the Windows Phone 8 is something that gives a "WOW" factor. Live tiles is how the UI generally looks like...one thing for sure, it beats iPhone flat...

Of course, the Apple Store gave a certain assurance that the iPhone 5 will be a much better choice...but since I am an iPhone user, let's be honest...we hardly download so many of the other million apps...most of the time, our focus are only on the important few, which are also likely to appear in the Windows Marketplace. 

BRING YOUR OFFICE WITH YOU

As it is under Microsoft, it comes with the Microsoft Office and Outlook. You could easily create and edit PowerPoint, Excel and others...once edited, it will also automatically sync....this definitely helps to boost the productivity level.

Mobile Office

There are of course many other reasons why I felt the Nokia Lumia 920 will be a hit but these are the few....if you are still not convince to buy the Lumia 920, you may read the difference between iOS and Windows Phone 8.

Nokia Lumia 920 better than iPhone 5

We all know it is the same old story with iPhone 5, breaking records in sales again...topping two million pre-orders in the first 24 hours.
However, there is a growing belief that the Nokia Lumia 920, which runs the Windows Phone 8 is a much better smartphone.

Here are some of the features that the Nokia Lumia 920 wins in comparison to the iPhone 5.

1) Screen 

The screen size of the Nokia Lumia 920 is bigger and sharper than the iPhone 5. The iPhone 5 has a 4-inch Retina display with a resolution of 1136x640-pixels while the Lumia 920 has a 4.5-inch Huge PureMotion HD+ WXGA IPS LCD, ClearBlack display. It also has a resolution of 1280x768 pixels, which is higher than the iPhone 5.

2) Camera

The Nokia Lumia sports an 8.7 megapixel rear PureView camera with optical image stabilisation and Carl Zeiss optics. It is better than iPhone 5's 8-megapixel camera...which is one of Apple's strong point.

However, there is no mention of noise reduction, low-light performance and fast photo taking in the Nokia Lumia 920 like the Apple's iPhone 5. Also, the 920's front-facing camera offers 1.2 megapixel front camera compared with the iPhone 5's 720 pixels.

3) Map

Even though Apple introduce their own Apple Inc's home grown Maps feature, it was not as good as the Nokia Map. With Nokia City Lens Augment reality, users can discover all the city has to offer by looking at the camera's viewfinder. It lets you find local businesses simply by pointing your phone in the right direction, a feature not available on the new iPhone.

Apple Inc's home-grown Maps feature is already facing criticism from users globally for a number of geographical errors, missing information and because it lacks features that made Google Maps so popular, including public transit directions, comprehensive traffic data or street view pictures. The new program has no public transit directions, limited traffic information, and flat-out mistakes, such as putting one city in the middle of the ocean.

4) Design

Let's put it this way...we are bored of the iPhone 5...even though Apple might emphasize on the elegance of the design of the Apple's baby, it is still the same iPhone...it could be thinner with a smaller port but the design is nothing in comparison to the beautiful Nokia Lumia 920. The Nokia Lumia 920 offers unique Live Tiles customisation, unlike the iPhone 5 on which icons are displayed in a single way, which can not be changed according to personal interests. Besides that, the Lumia 920 comes in the black, white, grey, red and yellow colours. On the other hand, the iPhone comes in white and silver, and black and slate colours.

5) User Interface, UI

We all know that the Apple's touchscreen has always been very sensitive but apparently, the Lumia 920's super sensitive touchscreen can be used not only with your fingertips, but also with finger nails, gloves and even any kind of pens.

Well, apparently, there are still more things that Nokia is better than the iPhone 5....

The charging of the Nokia Lumia 920 is one of the amazing breakthrough in comparison to the iPhone 5. With built-in wireless charging, it can be charged without being plugged in...the users just place it on a wireless charging pod, while Apple's iPhone 5 features ordinary charging.
