Nokia Lumia 920
The Finnish giant may be down, but is certainly not out. Nokia is banking heavily on the new Lumia handsets running Windows Phone 8. The 920 is its flagship and packs in a PureView camera along with an HD screen and 32GB of internal storage. This is not the same PureView sensor we saw on the 808, but is an 8MP sensor instead, where PureView simply refers to the type of imaging technology used. In the case of the 920, it’s optical image stabilization. Now, Nokia has already been called out for staging some of its demo videos during the launch of the phone and has admitted to them as well, so this just makes us more curious to see how good the image stabilization really is.

Nokia's knight in shining armour

• 4.5-inch IPS touchscreen with a 720 x 1280 pixel resolution
• LTE, 3G, EDGE, dual-band Wi-Fi, NFC
• Bluetooth 3.1 with A2DP, USB 2.0
• GPS with A-GPS Support and GLONASS
• 8MP AF camera with 1080p video recording and an LED flash

Samsung Ativ S
If the Galaxy S ever ran Windows Phone, this is probably what it would look like. The Ativ S is Samsung’s first Windows Phone 8 handset and the first thing you’ll notice is that it lacks the ‘in-your-face’ styling of HTC and Nokia’s offerings. It’s a serious looking phone and gathering by the specs, it certainly means business. Adorning the front is a massive 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display that should get you excited right away. It’s a powerful phone thanks to Qualcomm’s S4 SoC and comes with all features like NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi and expandable memory.
