Nokia Lumia: the complete range

With the Lumia family finally complete, nothing better than reviewing what each of the the terminals prepared by Nokia for Windows Phone 8 offerWith different approaches and target audience, a comparison to use does not seem the most appropriate, so take the text more as a compilation. Your future smartphone may be among the five models that make up the Nokia offer, and to help us choose nothing better than reviewing what each one offers.

Nokia Lumia 920

There is little left to say about Nokia's flagship for Windows Phone 8.Presented in September and with us since last month, the characteristics of this Lumia 920 are well known. Praised by critics and with some of the best technologies on the market, whoever is willing to shell out 649 euros will take home the most advanced of the latest mobiles created by the Finns.

The Lumia 920 brings a spectacular 4.5-inch IPS screen with PureMotion HD+ technology and very good sensitivity, accompanied by a dual-core S4 processor and 1GB of RAM that ensure smooth operation of Windows Phone and its applications. Even without a microSD card slot, the 32 or 64 GB storage options should be enough to satisfy the needs of the most demanding.

Next to the screen, the camera of the Lumia 920 is the section that has received the most compliments. Nokia's PureView technology still seems unrivaled and ranks it possibly as the best camera among all smartphones on the market.As a major defect, some point to its dimensions, but what it has inside is well worth its weight. It is the reference phone for Windows Phone 8

Nokia Lumia 820

The second in contention of the Lumia family is perhaps the one that has the most difficulty when it comes to gaining a foothold. Let no one be fooled, this is an excellent mobile on paper, but whose price and features place it in a no man's land that can reduce its options compared to its Lumia brothers and the rest of the competition. Among us since December last year at a price of 499 euros, its specifications still make it a great mobile.

The Lumia 820 features a 4.3-inch ClearBlack AMOLED screen that, while good, doesn't quite reach the quality levels of its big brother, the Lumia 920.Its 800x480 resolution seems lower than expected on a mobile with that price. In its favor, it has the same dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM, powered by a 1,650 mAh battery, as well as 8GB of internal storage expandable via microSD card.

The 8-megapixel main camera meets enough, as well as its front camera. The 820 has the incentive of interchangeable covers and compatibility with the same existing accessories for the 920. Despite what it may seem, it is a good mobile whose price is its biggest flawFor 150 euros more, the Lumia 920 significantly improves each and every one of its sections, and also now has to compete below the Lumia 720.

Nokia Lumia 720

One of the last two terminals to reach the Lumia range is this 720 presented by Nokia at the MWC in Barcelona.Called to occupy the mid-range, the content price of 249 euros before taxes places it as the right choice for a large majority of users. His biggest problem: still nothing is known about his arrival in our country.

The Lumia 720 has a 4.3-inch IPS ClearBlack screen and 840x480 resolution, which yields a total of 217 pixels per inch, figures similar to those of the 820. Compared to the latter, the 720 has a smaller processor and only 512MB of RAM, which can be a problem when running some applications. It makes up for it with a 2000 mAh battery that ensures a long duration. The new middle class of the Finns maintains the numbers of 8GB of internal storage with a microSD slot for expansion, as well as NFC connectivity and wireless recharging from their peers.

The 6.7-megapixel main camera sits right in the middle without much fanfare, although the front improves to match the 920 resolution.Size and design in line with the rest of the terminals in the family for a mobile phone that can convince more than one who hasn't quite decided to acquire a Lumia for the high price of 820 and 920.

Nokia Lumia 620

The hitherto small member of the Lumia family played the trick of mobile entry to Windows Phone 8 from Nokia. Thanks to its price below 300 euros and its contained features, it was the recommended option for those who chose to get one of the new Nokia terminals without resorting to large expenses . With the arrival of the 520, it will have to fight to gain a foothold and not fall into a no man's land like the 820.

The Lumia 620 features a 3.8-inch ClearBlack LCD screen with 800x480 resolution that works out to a decent 246 pixels per inch.The good dual-core processor is only accompanied in this case by 512MB of RAM, something to take into account given Microsoft's requirement of a minimum of 1GB to be able to run all Windows Phone applications. The battery is also more contained than that of its older brothers. Of course, the 8GB internal storage expandable via microSD seems more than enough.

The 5 megapixel main camera and the inclusion of a second front camera may also seem sufficient. Let's not forget that this is an entry model to the range of Nokia smartphones. Design and size are aimed at a less demanding public, who wants a good input terminal but without spending too much on their new mobile. The clear choice was this 620 until the new Lumia 520 appeared on the scene.

Nokia Lumia 520

Perhaps the last big surprise from Nokia due to its adjusted price. The Lumia 520 becomes the most affordable Windows Phone 8 smartphone on the market. Its 139 euros before taxes are quite a claim for a phone that offers what no other has so far offered for that price.

The Lumia 520 has a 4-inch screen, larger than the 620, with which it shares a 800x480 resolution. Inside it has a 1GHz dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM and a 1,430 mAh battery. Like its older brothers, except the 920, it has 8 GB of internal memory and the option to expand it using microSD cards.

The 5 megapixel camera is similar to the 620, although in this case we don't have a second front camera. It also does not have NFC connectivity, but it does maintain the wireless charging capacity of one of its older brothers.It is by far the lightest of the five terminals, with a more sober size and design than the 620. More than decent features for a very contained price is what offers Nokia with the Lumia 520.

The entire Lumia range

Five terminals to choose from are Nokia's definitive proposal for Windows Phone 8From the magnificent Lumia 920 with some of the greatest technological innovations in the sector, to the Lumia 520 with one of the most affordable prices on the market, passing through the well-known Lumia 820 and Lumia 620 and the new middle class represented by the Lumia 720.

Nokia points each terminal to a different user profile. With a range of prices that goes from 649 euros to 139 euros (without taxes), it is up to each person to decide which one is theirs.I'll keep quiet and leave you with the complete specification table, so that everyone can judge according to their tastes and needs.
