The design of this Lumia smartphone outperforms any modern day smartphones even flagships. I really want the designs of the Lumia phones to comeback even if it's completely made up of plastic, it simply doesn't matter because everyone uses their smartphones with a case anyways.

[@xBINARYGODx]

I thew my blue 920 at a brick wall pretty hard (dont ask, not really the phone's fault) and other than a minor flick off the rubbery plastic, it was perfectly fine and even looked fine from nearly every angle. "they dont make them like they used to" is sometimes actually true.

[@adammalik5397]

920 for me was the peak of lumia design. it is weird that when the competitors like samsung and iphone already doing flagship iterations for years, Nokia didn't really iterate this model. 925 moved the speaker to the back, and 930 even loses the Lumia's USP (glance screen)

[@rameetraj1416]

These phones were way ahead of it's time.

[@rohitsharma66]

I still remember how Microsoft lumia OS was so consistent that time when Android and ios used to struggle in software experience. Perfect dark mode with accent theme, kids corner, well polished and buttering smooth UI, Carl zeiss implementation and yeah a tiles fade in and fade out animation. I wish there could be a new windows phone.

[@erick-gd7wo]

I remember this polycarbonate plastic used in this phone was soooo tough and soooo strong. Too bad the OEM today seems to have forgotten how to produce good looking plastic and yet strong

[@oneminutewonder77]

I kind of wish that I had the chance to use a windows phone before they stopped supporting them. The UI was just awesome and there were a lot of features that iOS and Android borrowed from it years later.

[@akhilprasad7227]

Exactly

[@aishite_imasu097]

This is the reason why I still prefer Windows Phone. Its only downside is the lack of apps I need. The experience is definitely consistent to the lower end devices, the only edge having a high end device is the hardware and some features. The rest is just the same esp in the software features.

[@parthsarthipandey4353]

@@aishite_imasu097 I think the biggest reason to go for a John end windows Phone definately the camera innovations, like each new flagship had a minimum 1 or 2 industry first, be it 1020 ( or 808 PV) in Lumia, 1520 recording, or the OIS, or even the displays, man I just realised how much fun I had playing with Nokia smart cam, I need that, can someone suggest me an app, currently using S20+

The lumia that is sometimes overlooked is lumia 710. The design brings back the coolness of xpressmusic in a cheap mid range phone, it has the same processor with lumia 800 with half the price back then. I think it is underrated.

[@FirdausF3]

This phone was built like a tank. Really enjoyed using it. But as we all know the weakness of windows phone was the lack of quality apps. Then I moved to android. Still not as smooth as windows phone until today in terms of scrolling and animations. Once it slipped from my hand and the sharp corner hit my right foot. After that I started to think the meme about Nokia phones will crack the floor if they are dropped is true.

[@victorkreig6089]

What quality apps was it missing? I am weird though as I only use my phones for looking up things on the internet, youtube, music, and taking pictures

[@FirdausF3]

@@victorkreig6089 I mean sure there are apps. But those usually lack in features and refinement compared to their ios and android counterparts.

[@juanme555]

i bought this one with my first job, in january of 2015, this might've been the phone i loved the most, Windows Phone 8.1 Denim remains my absolute favorite O.S of all time. I still never got that Lumia 930 dreamphone i wanted, but im glad i was able to use the 920 when the store was good, my classmates at school were shocked to see GTA San Andreas running on a phone, specially a phone that they didn't know, was cheaper than theirs, and ran smoother in every way, whatsapp, maps, alarm, web browsing and music worked flawlessly, so this was everything i really needed. I guess i'll have to move on to iOS.

[@csumme7]

It was a great phone (still have my white one). It was also a true Nokia and was brick. There was a video of a guy who took his 920 and hammered nails in blank of lumber with the screen and it was perfectly fine afterwards.

[@blackhawk69100]

Come HMD. You thrive from nostalgia on the dumb phones, but where’s the nostalgia with android phones. We want to see true lumia updated designs. 920 to 1520 was the peak. Great video.

[@IncredibleVictor]

Though I know that Nokia is pioneer in introducing new features. But didn't expected that a phone from 2012 would have wireless charging. I guess Shah Rukh Khan featured this phone in the film Chennai Express.

As a Nokia(Symbian OS) fan, I can remember really wanting this phone, going into the carrier store, and playing with the wall model.

[@jaimeastin]

I still have a 9:20. I just powered it up last week just to see how it looked and how well that thing perform. The dedicated camera button was a feature that phones still can't get right to this day. But they definitely stole how fast you could bring up the phone with that double click. The image and video was very nice. Windows phone was a good operating system that the developers sabotage. But Microsoft is doing a good job doing exactly what the other companies did to them for years. They're using their devices with their software. But this was my first absolute favorite phone. I had iPhones before that, I had Windows mobile phones, access to various Android phones that were not good previous to this one. I had the Nokia 900 and before that I had to Samsung focus. Both are good phones. But the 920 just set the bar. And from there I got the 1020. I always want that phone with a huge camera, but by the time Windows phone was just really uncertain with this future. When those phone finally gave up the ghost, I didn't get any of the newer phones, I went to the Samsung S7 edge and never looked back with Samsung

[@dhuwdhuwdhuw]

revisit the nokia 5800 xpressmusic. I remember back in 2009 my buddy got one, feels like he got the coolest phone back then.

Yes everything you said about lumia is correct . Even the low end lumia the performance is smooth . The battery life was super good . I really love lumia . But since they end the support of it I had to switch to iphone . The lumia ui was the best ui ever .

[@im_dhruv]

I had a lumia 720( Red color) still miss that red beast. It stood out amongst the dull white and black phones then. And the camera was really ahead of its time. I remember visiting store and looking at the lumia 920. Heavy and solid looking phone. Wish could afford it back then. Nokia is stil unbeatable with their camera and performance majorly based on optics than more software oriented. Wish HMD could really puck up on that instead of pushing out cheap knockoffs under the name nokia. They started out good but midway lost track.

I had one of those and I loved it. Loved the OS too.

It's so sad that smartphones today still haven't caught up to the Lumia 920 in some ways... - No phone I've had since has had the ability to use the device with gloves (why?! it's so convenient in countries with cold winters!) - I don't know of ANY non-Lumia phone that has the ability to take pictures at night through glass, by using a premature flash (why?! it's so convenient when you need it!) ... anything else? I may well be forgetting some things. I suppose there is the 2-month battery life with connectivity disabled, the insane durability of the device, as well as the body formed to fit your hand. I don't buy phones that are super square period. I don't care how good the specs and/or price are if I can't use it comfortably.

I have use all the series of lumia devices. Out of them, best was 920, 1020 and 1520. And still I'm using lumia 1020 for my photos and videos with huge 41mp camera.. The flashlight in 1020 is the best out there in the any other smartphone. We love NOKIA

@@AbdullaZaki I guess because Windows mobile is no longer supported. But the 520 and 920 were in great condition, battery seems fine, screen is perfect. 920 is red colour.

Pity the software let it down - 5 minutes restarts during my job which relied on calls and text and maps was not fun

[@SubhamKarmakar24]

Of course I remember the 820. I liked it more than the 720 because it had an offset Nokia logo on the top which used to look reeeeeally cool. Only the cool Nokia-s like the XpressMusic and the N-series used to have that. I went to buy the 820 but unfortunately, they didn't have it in stock so had to settle for a yellow 720 instead though 🥲

All Hail the Banana! Reviewers didnt like the phone because it was what they were told to do. Even the independant ones were subconsciously told to hate it because of the massive media push around then that told everyone if it wasn't an iPhone it wasn't worth your money and the people who weren't indoctrinated by apple WERE indoctrinated by Samsung(though that wasnt something samsung even tried to do lol) Honestly if Microsoft had done a deal with google for the play store being native instead and put morem oney into marketing Nokia easily could have taken over the market with this best. Had everything people wanted and it was using the sexy Metro UI, which had people actually been introduced to it en mass way back then it would have EASILY destroyed apple's childproof UI and made Android fume. And Nokia would have never had problems and the windows phone line wouldn't have died. Ah well, love the work as always man

Banana phone 🤣 does look delicious haha. Nicely put. I agree, when someone is used to a certain OS and has to play around with a phone with a different OS, they don't tend to be fair.
