Reporters from The Verge are sitting on some exclusive Nokia Lumia information that they’re slowly trickling out as we get closer and closer to the Finnish handset maker’s press event on Wednesday. Their latest article states that the Lumia 920 will have wireless charging, it’ll have 32 GB of built-in storage, it’ll have a 720p screen that measures 4.5 inches across, and that the camera will have an 8 megapixel sensor. The camera will be marketed as “PureView” capable because of “some advancements in image stabilization and camera software”. Considering that Nokia used the “PureView” branding to promote their Symbian powered 41 megapixel camera-beast-phone, we’re a little upset to see them slap the same label on what will undoubtedly be a generic sensor paired up some image manipulation trickery.

Yesterday Samsung and Sony announced a plethora of new smartphones. Today it’s HTC turn to show off the goods. According to The Verge, HTC has just unveiled the Desire X. It has a 4 inch 800 x 480 screen, a dual core 1 GHz processor, 768 MB of RAM, and a 5 megapixel camera that can’t even record video at anything higher than VGA resolution. HTC isn’t saying how much the Desire X is going to cost, which makes it difficult for us to say whether or not this thing is worth buying. The dual core processor, which is designed by Qualcomm, actually uses two ARM Cortex A5 cores. They should deliver decent performance, but again, without a price tag it’s very difficult to judge this product. We often recommend that a better way to save money when buying a new phone is to simply buy last year’s flagship. Continue reading “HTC Desire X: Think of it as a low end One V, minus the chin”
