Nokia has lashed out at HTC over the 8X and 8S, dismissing the new "signature" Windows Phone 8 handsets as rebrands that are lacking in innovation. "Instead of changing a product name, we're changing the game with benefits like PureView, nav & wireless charging" Nokia executive vice president of sales and marketing Chris Weber tweeted shortly after HTC revealed its new line-up. "It takes more than matching color to match the innovation of the Lumia 920." Read The Full Story

Nokia LTE Everything Everywhere Lumia 920 deal tipped; Apologizes again for PureView goof

, Sep 10th 2012 Discuss [0]

Nokia is reportedly planning an exclusive 4G deal with UK carrier Everything Everywhere for the Lumia 920,  a potential distraction from its second mea culpa over the faked camera sample goof. The UK exclusive would see Everything Everywhere - including T-Mobile UK and Orange - snap up the Windows Phone 8 device for a November launch, the Financial Times' sources say, echoing Nokia's sole-carrier deal with AT&T in the US on previous handsets. However, the new Lumia is still being overshadowed by Nokia's faking of the initial photography samples, something the company now says will be handled with an internal inquiry.

However, according to Nokia's photography chief, the Lumia 920 won't actually record stereo sound. Read The Full Story

Nokia Lumia 920 “HAAC” Rich Recording microphones confirmed

All eyes may be on the Nokia Lumia 920′s PureView camera, but our ears may well be cosseted with the company’s Rich Recording high-quality audio, judging by what SlashGear has heard from sources at the firm. Nokia made no mention of Rich Recording, the broad-frequency sound capturing system that premiered on the 808 PureView, during its Lumia 920 launch, and nor does the Windows Phone’s spec sheet spill the goods; however, according to hardware details we have been informed about, the Lumia 920 does indeed have a trio of the special microphones Nokia co-developed especially for Rich Recording.
