Due to the growing trend of mobile phones with large screens was high time Nokia release something with a large panel (the Lumia 800 has a 3'7 inch screen). Thus is born the Nokia 900 Lumia.
I work with Android on a daily basis so it is very challenging and interesting to use a completely different system for some time to write reviews. As done for the analysis of HTC Radar will adopt a style of paper a little different than usual. In this case only one unboxing but will follow more or less the same way.
First of all we know this inside the terminal:
Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8055
CPU: 1.4 GHz Scorpion
GPU: Adreno 205
Display: AMOLED 480 x 800 pixels, 4.3 inches (~ 217 ppi)
Memory: 512MB RAM - 16GB internal storage
Camera: 8 Mega-pixels, 3264 × 2448 px, Carl Ziess optics with dual LED flash. It records 720p at 30fps
Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, Proximity Sensor
One of the first impressions one has of the device is its size - with "only" 4.3 inches can be slightly larger and wider than the Galaxy S3 which has 4.8 inch screen. The initial idea was that the Lumia 900 is that it would be an expanded version of Lumia 800 ... but it is certainly not what is happening here. The elegance of the 800 is not maintained and this can be a bit aggressive visually (may vary from person to person) losing some premium touch to your little brother looks like.This is discussed more fully in the final analysis because I still have a few days of use.
Something that struck me in Windows Phone 7.5 Mango was its fluidity and it is still present in this terminal. But the operating system continues to look rather crude compared with the Android. It seems that lack applications, alternatives, freedom ... The level of applications has grown considerably since the Marketplace analysis of Radar. I will test the range of apps and talk about it in detail in the analysis.
I have some questions from hardware capacity. Microsoft is very strict when giving freedom to choose vendors of hardware to run Windows Phone and honestly do not know to what extent that is detrimental to the evolution of the platform. The compatibility level drivers for system updates is obvious that facilitates the time needed to adapt the software, but then switched to using very old hardware ... For example this GPU Adreno 205 has two years ... is the same as the famous HTC Desire HD . The CPU itself is old and outdated and this is where Microsoft ends up losing some ground. One is that the operating system does not seem to need more hardware, but the level of applications is not going to be a most significant evolution since this chip can not handle much more than what it is asked. It is time for dual colors, 2GB RAM, HDD ... If Microsoft wants to be competitive may be time to start paddling. I'm curious to test heavier applications and then submit the final analysis.
Another VERY negative for me is the screen resolution. We have a considerable size with a resolution old and virtually obsolete in the latest mobile phones. It is true that S2 Galaxy is 4.3 inches and also has 800 × 480 but the Galaxy comes with an AMOLED panel Plus and left in April 2011 ... while the 900 came out Lumia heights in February 2012 where it had 720p screens since November. I can not understand these choices by the Microsoft. The picture quality is quite poor, lack luster and lack definition (on top of Androids'm surrounded with displays 720p, the difference is abysmal). It has good color and good blacks, but do not know to what extent is reason enough to choose this over a terminal with a better panel.
When I analyzed the management Radar HTC battery surprised me a lot. It took me much more than an Android in terms of normal use so I have some expectation for the Lumia. The screen size will surely influence the use of battery, but now I have no hard data for my use has been further reduced.
