Unpacking the Nokia Lumia 820 – shot with the Lumia 920 and 808 PureView

This must seem pretty decadent, but let me assure you the Nokia Lumia 820 is just a review sample returning to Nokia’s PR Office in the Netherlands soon. I asked for one to make some unpacking shots, this time with its bigger brother the Lumia 920.

You will find those shots in this post, combined with a few shots I made of both Lumia’s with – of course – the Nokia 808 PureView. First: unpacking the Lumia 820 of course starts with a few shots of the box…

I’ve opened it like it’s a classic striptease…

And here it is – even freed from it’s thin plastic dress :-)

Just to show the Nokia Lumia 920 can make some pretty decent close-ups…

Here’s an illustration (from the box) how to open the Lumia 820. You’ll need to use some force, but it’s not that hard.

After opening the Lumia 820 I was surprised by the shape of the battery

Here it is in detail, the Nokia 8P-ST 1650 mAh

A better look at the Carl Zeiss sensor

Another interesting detail: room for a micro-SD card – quite an advantage over the Lumia 920, although that boasts a 32GB mass memory

In the Netherlands – to make up for having to wait so long – Nokia sells the Lumia 820 including the wireless charging cover.

Just to show the headset is in matching color, just like with the Lumia 920. It has earbuds in several sizes, too.

Next some shots I made of both devices with the Nokia 808 PureView. That both are yellow is a coincidence by the way, but practicle for a comparison.

In some shots you will see the Lumia 920 seems a bit darker but that really depends on the light you are in. There’s not much of a difference except for the material used (leading to different color impressions)

Big difference in screensize

Easy to see how much wider the Nokia Lumia 920 is in this shot

And how much taller it is in this one…

To conclude, once more, the Lumia 920 on top of the 820, no showing the top side.

That’s it as far as the shots are concerned. I must say I’m pleasantly surprised by the look and feel of the Nokia Lumia 820. I hear its camera is pretty good also, I’m hoping to make some shots in the coming weeks (as long as I can use it, that is).

Hope you liked this! Remember PureViewClub is on Twitter and Facebook - please follow me on Twitter (and like me on Facebook), to get all the updates asap – and once in a while even a bit more :-)

  1. [...] the numbers show these devices – most likely – have  lesser specifications than the Lumia 820 and Lumia 620.So chances you’ll find OIS  or whatever new PureView technology in there are [...]

  2. [...] one shows the Lumia 620 in my hand. Too bad I already had to send the (also yellow) Lumia 820 back (unpacking shots here), it would have been fun to show how it’s a bit smaller than the 920 and a bit bigger than [...]

    This looks like an incredibly fun little phone!

    If you look at the camera quality on GSM Arena –

    the quality is very impressive – might even be the same 920 module minus the OIS feature. Either way it’s refreshing to see that Nokia appears to have finally trashed that p.o.s. module that infested the N9, Lumia 800 and Lumia 900…

      Hey Marc,

      I can’t WAIT to see pics from when you undoubtedly decide to wring out the camera on that phone – my guess is that’s what you are doing as I write this!

        Haha, I was writing my Epitaph for Symbian. Hope you’ll like that as well. Tomorrow I’ll try to find time to make some shots with 820/920/808. Thanx! :-)

      Hey if you go to that link and play around – the 820 images look far crisper than the 920 – I can almost believe that the 820 represents the type of image quality the PR1 update will give the 920.
      However, there was one section where the 920 stood head and shoulders over the 820 – if you hit the tag Color Poster on the bottom of the image, then aim the green box to the sky above the beach umbrella, the 920 renders the sky far better than the 820.

    When i bought my 920, i played a bit with the 820 in the shop and was very surprised, how well build it was and how good it felt in my hand. The buildquality for a so called lower-priced devise is amazing. It was not to light, so it did feel solid and wellbuild.

    May be it has no hd-display, but as far as i could see, the AMOLED display is really really great… dark is really dark. If you have the 800 or 900 you know what i mean…

    I would be happy if you tell us more about the displayquality, imagequality and soundquality.

    Great unpacking…

    Thanks
