Nokia hits back at iPhone 5 with infographic on Lumia 920
It seems that Apple’s mighty marketing machine had hit the jackpot once again, where the 2 million pre-order units were sold out in record time, and the folks looking forward to the iPhone 5 are more than ever before, never mind that the hardware specifications are not all the snazziest. Apple did say that it was not much of a challenge to build a phone with a larger display, but if that was the fact, you should also see iMacs running on just 14” of viewing real estate. Having said that, Nokia knows that their Lumia 920 has superior hardware on paper and has taken a dig at the iPhone 5 in the infographic that you can see above.
The infographic seems to be all facts without any sarcastic or caustic remarks, and some might say that it is more tasteful compared to what Samsung rolled out in the ad that said that the next big thing is already here, and has been around for a few months already. What do you think of the Nokia Lumia 920 – does it have all that you were looking for in a smartphone (with the exception of iOS 6, of course ;P)?
Now here is an interesting leaked render of what is allegedly known as the Nokia C1, which is supposed to be the next smartphone which will feature the Nokia logo – never mind the fact that the Finnish company had already sold its smartphone business to Microsoft some time back. Well, the most interesting aspect about this leaked render would be the fact that it sports an Android operating system on the foreground, while another model hiding behind it looks as though it runs on Windows 10 Mobile.
Does this mean that we will have to face not one, but two variants of the same device? Only time will be able to tell, but for the moment, it will be an agonizing wait until 2016 as that is when the alleged Nokia C1 smartphone will launch then.
So, you happen to be rocking to one of the older Lumia handsets from Nokia, and would love to check out what all the hoo-haa is about concerning Windows 10 Mobile. If you happen to live in Poland, then here is a spot of good news for you to kick start your week – the Windows 10 Mobile update will be heading to the likes of the Lumia 630, 635, 640, 735, and 830 this coming December 14, whereas those who happen to be making use of the Lumia 520, 532, 625, 720, 820, 920, 925, 930, 1020, and 1320, will have to wait until February 1st next year.
Again, bear in mind that the Windows 10 Mobile update will only affect those smartphones which were purchased from Orange in Poland, so if you happen to own any of the above mentioned devices but from different people, then you would have to give the updates a miss.
A quick look at the calendar shows that we are still in March – early March, in fact, and April is still some ways of. Still, this has not stopped the fact that an alleged leak of a Nokia 1100 has been benchmarked, and in that particular benchmark, it revealed that the Nokia 1100 would sport Android 5.0 Lollipop as the mobile operating system version of choice – how cool would that be if it were to be true?
Other hardware specifications in the alleged leaked benchmark sheet point to a quad-core MT6582 processor which has been clocked at 1.3GHz, a 720p resolution display, and most probably 512MB RAM. We would take this bit of information with more than just a pinch of salt – perhaps and entire tablespoonful.
