This device has many of the same powerful attributes as the Nokia Lumia 920, but has a bit smaller profile and brings in rounded edges and an interchangeable backplate that doesn’t have NFC embedded right out of the box.

Nokia’s new Lumia 920 may not be PureView as we’ve known it, but that doesn’t mean it’s not some darned clever camera technology all the same: think springs in your smartphone for a start. A new side-by-side video demo of the stabilization system in play – which you can see after the cut – shows another string of PureView’s catch-all camera bow, relying not on masses of megapixels but on how a more average sensor does its business.
