What Surprised Me About the Nokia Lumia 920

What Surprised Me About the Nokia Lumia 920:
When the Nokia Lumia 920 was officially announced, there was one thing that really surprised me. It was the PureMotion HD+ display. Long-time Nokia users know that the display isn’t one of Nokia’s strengths. Nokia was late to capacitive displays and late to high resolutions. PureMotion HD+ surprised me because I think Nokia not only caught up with its competitors, but surpassed them with the new display.

PureMotion HD+ combines 4 display technologies which Nokia Conversations talked about here, but I’ll highlight two things that made me smile from the announcements: high resolution and super sensitive.


Super Sensitive


The Nokia Lumia 920 features a super-sensitive touch display that can be used with your finger, fingernail, pen, and even with the gloves on. Seeing this person was amazing.
When I saw a demo, my reaction was, “how is this even possible?” This would be very cool to use in the winter. You no longer need to take off your gloves to quickly check your email when it’s cold outside.


High Resolution


The Nokia Lumia 920′s display has a resolution of 1280×768. This is a big deal to Nokia fans. Symbian touchscreen phones (like the Nokia N8 and Nokia 808 Pureview) have long been stuck at 640×360 and current Windows Phone devices have 800×480. More pixels mean more content being shown in the display.
Higher resolution also means a sharper screen. For comparison, the Nokia Lumia 920 has 332 pixels per inch while Apple’s iPhone 4 with retina display has 326 ppi.
