Nokia Lumia 820 Review

Score: 59.8 / 100

Nokia Lumia 820 is a good quality phone launched many years ago, featuring a 4.3" display, a great 1500 MHz Dual-Core processing unit, an 8 megapixels back camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front camera.

The Lumia 820 comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 chip, packing an extremely powerful Dual-Core CPU running at 1.5 gigahertz and only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a little disappointing for a cellphone this powerful. Collaborating with graphic calculations, this phone also counts with an Adreno 225 GPU clocking at 400 MHz. A good feature of this phone is its big 8 GB internal storage and a slot for an external memory card, enough to store a couple hundred apps without running out of space.

This phone is for sale in many color variations like black, purple, yellow, blue, red, white and gray. This device is quite a compact device, considering it has a 4.3 inches screen and it has just 4.87 inches long. Being just 0.39 inches thick,this device is incredibly thin and practical. This device isn't very light for a phone of this size, with a weight of 5.64 ounces.

This cellphone has a interesting 800 x 480 4.3-inches screen, providing this cellphone with a very nice graphic quality. Its screen uses AMOLED capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

This device features WiFi connection (which can be provided to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE (4G) high performance connection and also HSPA+ connectivity, which is a lower speed 4G technology and the fastest 3G connectivity, using HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a Micro SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

This cellphone features two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera. Its back facing camera lens has a maximum f/2.2 aperture so it can shoot clear photographs even in dark conditions. This cellphone also films videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second. The camera also has some nice characteristics: flash, auto-focus and geo tagging.

This phone also comes with many useful features as Wireless charging system, NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (3.0) and GPS, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone has a 1650 mAh mid capacity Li-Ion battery, which is not really enough for a thirsty cellphone like this. Nokia afirms this device has a 360 hs stand by time and a 15.4 hs talk time.

This device is really expensive considering it is priced $ 209, while some similar cellphones cost much less than that. No matter if you will use this cellphone majorly for social networks and internet browsing or want this cellphone for playing games, you will probably love this phone. The Nokia Lumia 820 includes Nokia AC-50 MicroUSB Charger, Product user guide, Nokia Headset WH-208 and Nokia Charging and Data Cable CA-190CD.
