I can't help but poke fun at smartphone manufacturers touting subtle refinements in their LCD displays with abstruse marketing terminology — and today it's Nokia's turn. Nokia calls this a ClearBlack display, which consists of polarizing layers of glass to help make blacks deeper and reduce reflections.
It's technology that was introduced back in , and here it doesn't seem to have much effect. The blacks on the aren't nearly as deep as on the — but the tradeoff is well worth it in my opinion. Well, the phone seems to live up to those marks: swiping around in Windows Phone 8's various screens yields sharp transitions with crisp motion.
If you're basing your smartphone buying decision on such things, the is your phone. Also, I'm really, genuinely curious as to what makes you tick. Marketing aside, this screen is gorgeous. It's a 4. Really, the only knock I can deliver against it is that it does dim a bit when you're looking at it at sharp angles. Nokia stirred up a mini-controversy back in September when it announced the Lumia would come with the same PureView branding as the Symbian handset but without the corresponding megapixel sensor.
The common thread between the PureView and the cameras is excellent image quality for those who know how to handle a high-end camera. There are two major categories in which the Lumia excels: low-light performance and image stabilization. Both rely on what Nokia calls "floating lens technology.
By reducing camera shake in this fashion, Nokia can afford to keep the shutter open for longer, absorb more light, and deliver much brighter pictures. Video recording is also a big beneficiary of the new floating lens, making for much steadier pans and allowing you to move around without destroying the quality of your video. Taking three shots of the same scene can sometimes produce as many as three different color temperatures: a beige coffee table appeared rosy in one image, a greenish yellow in the next, and the perfect pale taupe in the third.
This same issue is apparent during video capture as well, with the camera sometimes tinting the entire scene into a new palette as it determines a new color balance. Nokia is also offering some software as exclusives to the Lumia line. The "Lenses" show up as options in the camera app, allowing you to launch custom camera apps directly and have their photos saved in the Photos Hub.
It produces good results so long as you hold the camera steady. The difference, unfortunately, is that Nokia hasn't built any way to actually share the animations, a completely perplexing foible in an otherwise neat feature. The biggest and most important change to Windows Phone 8 over previous versions is one users don't see directly: internal software plumbing shared with Windows 8. Microsoft likes to say that it has managed to change the engine on a car speeding down the freeway without slowing down, and the metaphor is an apt one.
It's remarkable that an OS can have its internals so radically changed and yet still feel the same on the outside. The Lumia , along with the rest of the latest batch of Windows Phone 8 devices, benefits from that updated core primarily because it can now run on a modern processor, Qualcomm's dual-core Snapdragon S4 clocked at 1.
It's actually a little difficult to gauge just how much of an effect that speedy processor has, for a couple of reasons. The first is that Windows Phone has always been built with responsiveness in mind, so improvements in animations and scrolling are subtle.
The second is that Windows Phone 8 as an OS seems to be faster and more stable overall. Microsoft has definitely made some performance tweaks, improving scrolling and responsiveness throughout the OS. View: Gallery View. Lock Status. Buying Format All Listings filter applied.

Cons: 1]Problem in deleting contacts. Each time you have to click on the required contact and then automatically call will start so you got to stop call ,then go to details and then delete. It can only be used to play music on speakers. Backend camera and nokia microfocus starts giving problem after a year.
Camera quality goes worst. Flash and other settings not much useful in capturing photos. No red eye correction. Pros: Only for a year ,you can capture better pics with around 8 mp camera. You don?
