Other brands ,no,yet these is alot of hype and awe over certain brands but to me they seem just run of the mill!!!just my opinion,Nokia was way ahead of the curve and should seriously look into these aspects again!!
I believe Nokia was the only one to try new things without caring about the sales. They never copied any thing from other brands even when they were not doing well in sales. ❤️ Nokia
A few ultra-flagships nowadays probably. But what Nokia managed to do was practically unheard of 7-9 years ago, but alas, their piss poor choice of platform and management killed most their efforts and hard work in the end.
*To be very honest, no phone in 2020 can match the versatile features this phone had back then.* Btw hey tech geek. Love from India. Happy to see you growing. I followed you when you had like 1200 subs. U doing great man! ❤️
@@AbdullaZaki Nokia was first to feature OIS, NFC, HD display, HD and Full HD video recording, have dual aperture phone (N86), Wireless charging, USB type C (Nokia N1 tab), Gesture-based and advanced OS (Maemo, Meego), FM transmitter, Lossless zoom (808 PV), and much more. Do you remember N-Gage games? Nokia started the smartphone market.
Man I miss lumia phones. I had the 920 as my first smartphone. Had it for 4 years. Nokia had the most well-built phones ever. If only Nokia went with android. Thanks for this awesome video!
Excellent review. This was actually my very last Nokia phone before leaving for Android devices for good. I recently purchased the Nokia 8.3 5G and with that I’ll be rejoining the Nokia family after almost 10 years. Keep up the great work!
Abdullah, Absolutely Love your content! I lost it when you compared the weights of the current iPhone 12 Pro Maxes to the Lumia! Hysterical! I second you on that! I too am and have always been sad about how things didn't go well for this phone!
I saw your video about pureview and was thinking about how under appreciated the 920 was for the same reasons you pointed out. Then utube suggest this video like it was reading my mind. Mind blown...LOL. The Lumia 920 and 1520 are probably my favorite phones ever. The 920 excelled in night shots that I haven't seen in any of the new phones today. The 1520 excelled in video recording especially in capturing the sound and removing the noise. I so miss the Windows Phone. Thanks for the video. It brought back some good memories.
You are most welcome :) Trying to give credit to some of these great Lumia devices that I don't think got the recognition they deserved for so many innovations.
I had Lumia 920 White, it was great. Most inovative smartphone ever -HAAC Microphones, it can record gunshots like today phones cant. Very premium sound of recording -That IPS display was also great, and highest resolution at the time. (768p), other phones had only 720p -High sensitive touch digitizer -First OIS camera -That camera could capture photos in very very dark scenes. Not any other phoce could do that -Wireless cahrging -showing time on off display -tap to unlock (just few phones supported this) Maybe I forgot something, but not any other phone in 2012 had at least half of those feaures
Thank you for this video I was almost in tears watching this I lost mine just a couple years ago had it for seven years I loved it so much the video was so ahead of time I didn’t appreciate it and as much as I should have with a great review now I have mostly iPhones and androids and iPhones and a few more windows phones Just for a few memories maybe
I am a big Nokia fan and watching videos to buy my new Nokia mobile, came across your channel , impressed by the channel name and I have to say that your explanation on Nokia and its make is really awesome. We Nokia lovers are trying to tell this quality about Nokia to others but you do a great job on that part. Awesome 😎 bro….
The Lumia 920 is one of the most well designed phones ever. I wish Nokia would just make an android powered phone with this Lumia 920 design. It would be amazing and I would buy it in a second!
Great work Abdullah. Keep it up. I have been following you for while. You channel was a welcome suggestion for me, Because I am a nokia fan. I think there is no one like you who represents nokia 's True innovation,creativity,quality and courage that they had back in the day. I hope we will experience the same great nokia again.
Classic Classic ,love this vid,Nokia should seriously think if bringing aspects of the Lumia back again,oops I mean HMD, I think the smartphone market is covered with similar or like phones ,they all look the same with pretty much similar or same specs,Nokia needs to stand above the rest!!! Also I think some reviews focus to much on spec but yet fail to realize how the phone actually works in real time!! Keep the great vids coming !!
I agree with you 100%. So many forgettable phones these days. I also agree about many judging phones based on specs and not experience, which is a lot more important. This is what Im trying to do on this channel, give you an idea about how the phone is like to actually live with, not just read the specs to you :). Thank you!
One of the killer feature is Lumia Pro Camera, manual mode even with low-end Lumia 520. Plus, I miss Lumia Beam (I used it alot when class presentation on High School), Lumia Cinemagraph, Lumia Story Teller, and so on.
The Lumia pro camera came out first on the Lumia 1020, so I didn't mention it in the video :) And yes, Lumia had some really cool software to enhance the experience. Good times.
So true! Thanks for the video. I think this phone did the most for Windows Phone out of any. Best selling Windows Phone flagship and a great halo device for the big sellers like the 520. Back in 2012 this made Windows Phone a genuine contender. This phone's experiences were better in many ways vs experiences on other platforms at the time.
I pre-ordered this phone and got it on launch day. The camera was mind-blowing. It also had NFC and was one of the first 4G phones launched. The negatives: yellowing screen over time and broken vibrator motor. Build quality was excellent, dropped it a few times without case and the only damage was chipped corner. Lumia 920 was my daily driver until 2015 when 950 came out, and boy the build quality was a day and night difference. The 920 was a tank, its successor was a low end car. I dropped my 950 twice and the screen already cracked. Iris scanner broken. Front camera dead. What a disappointing successor to a revolutionary phone.
Indeed, the phone was absolutely packed with great future. This unit is actually my launch day unit bought when it was first released in Dubai :) It even has all the scratches, etc, and still looks amazing in video :) You can blame Microsoft for the 950. Was such a disappointment in hardware/design. Lazy effort.
man you deserve a lot of subscribers , first of all you are not afraid of giving a real own opinion based in facts .unlike many youtubers that only go with the flow in order to earn more followers and are like zombies without nothing inside... I praise you for talk directly , funny enough as you remark in your video all the "complaints" that reviewers used to do back then are now the "must have" nowadays wich is absurd ... for instance they bash any design that is not lagsung or isuck . but they keep praising crapple for giving the same useless shit every year? even lagsung admited that the "curved design" it was just to make the product more expensive ... definitely the world nowadays is rule by stupid trends thats why cellphone industry has been dead since 2015... keep the good job man
I got this phone when it came out in the Philippines. Boy it was a stunner. All phones back then were just black, white and silver. Then came this yellow phone. It has video stabilization, and the night shots were just wow! I love it. The main problem I encountered thou were lack of app supportm
Nokia was always ahead of innovations and this was the biggest point for me to be loyal to the brand even now, but HMD hasn't reached that point yet, but I am optimistic that slowly they'll reach there.
Thats exactly why they still have fans. Their old devices were amazing. Im also optimistic that we will see good thing comes from HMD eventually. They did manage to get a few decent devices but we expect more.
It was polycarbonate but the build was so perfect and Solid... It was so beautiful and stylish that it feels so modern and cool even today . Really Nokia had serious guts and passion back then .
My second favorite nokia phone that I ever had after the n95 8gb. I had it in red it looked awesome. I also miss being able to use phones without a case especially since today's phones are big.
I had a Lumia 820, which I loved. Mine had a replaceable battery, OLED screen, wireless charging shell, but no OIS. Although only 8gb of storage, I could install apps on a micro SD card. It was buttery smooth. Windows OS already had dark mode back then, way before other OS's. The downsides were that the battery life was poor, and poor app selection. I'm heavily invested in the Google ecosystem, and there were no first party Google apps. Most damning for me was no Google voice client. Then, remaining apps were no longer supported, and I sold the phone. I love the 920 design and features.
The 820 was also excellent but overshadowed by the 920 which was announced at the same time. Google was deliberately trying to sabotage windows phone in my opinion. Even when Nokia/Microsoft built an excellent youtube app, they made sure to get it removed from Windows Phone.
Loved it....Nokia was really the best in its symbian and Lumia times....Lets Hope the same for android too...while still on back of my mind I have a fantasy that nokia could make a windows phone too..... Can you also review the Lumia camera app which had all those options like 1. Best shot 2. Motion blurr 3. Burst mode 4. Action shot etc
I have one. Nokia Lumia 920 back in 2015, the main reason is for the camera. No other phone can beat this camera, with 4G, nice UI, smooth operating.. but now not so much use, just as tethering devices..
I'm planning to buy Lumia 920 yellow since I couldn't afford money for it in 2012 ,. But sometimes I think about the 1020. I am still a user of Nokia N8 . I tried my mom's Hmd 8.1 phone but I didn't like it .
I think, the reason why it didn't hit the market so much is because people wanted to buy the smartphone that makes them so beautiful even if they are not.
great video again thank you for telling the tale of Nokia and keep it alive :), the biggest argument for its failure and the worst business mistake ever was to put it on windows phone, and only have it run on windows phone, the mistake of windows phone was not just about the apps, it was the services not having youtube on your phone is unthinkable and as I had the Lumia 920 phone I remember not having Instagram, Snapchat, UA-cam, Vine, and Facebook too (I'm not sure about this one) having to go with workarounds like unofficial app (which is kinda risky btw), plus the interface and the software features offered by the window were bad and sort of experimental, the imposed search engine "bing at the time was bad, like really bad. although I concede, watching this video made me realize that the metro UI was innovative and something else, and still looks modern, but it was cursed from the start as windows phone was not an overall good platform. what I mean is that the phone flopped all and because of windows as I completely agree with you the Nokia part was ahead of its time, I fell in love with its hardware and the features and design.
I bought it recently for my Nokia collection (in yellow!). "Fabula" by Marko Ahtisaari is still a fantastic design 😎 I'd love to see it in a full screen 2021 Nokia smartphone...
An awesome review as always, Abdulla. My only complaint is that you used a lousy Microsoft camera instead of Nokia/Lumia camera for those demo photos and videos.
@@branislavavramovic2601 never researched it as it wasn't the topic of the video, but is it by using develop tools and putting the apps files on the phone then deploying them? Or more complicated?
@@AbdullaZaki not that complicated actually. You can join a group Windows Phone 8.1 (Lumia) on Telegram, and those guys can help you out. It just a matter of installing software on your PC and flashing your device. Everything is done under 10-15 mins. After you root it, you can deploy an unlimited amount of apps on your phone, even without a developer mode or account.
What device do you use today? I was a Nokia / windows phone fan but I don't particularly like the alternatives. I settle for a mid range Samsung phone but I think Sony phones would be a better option offering what Nokia did in the camera and design department.
My current daily driver is the Nokia 9. Mainly because I love editing RAW images and for that its great. But I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It has too many software issues (camera related). Sony seems to be doing an excellent job with their latest phones, but like Nokia they also charge a premium.
still has better camera than many of the current phones as well screen and sound and if wp still alive I bet will perform better than many of the current phones
The camera really surprised me in low light. I remembered it being good, but expected it to be terrible compared to new phones. But no, its actually still decent in low light even today!
I had that 920 before and I never knew that it was a flagship phone..☺️.. having that phone before feels like having a complete gear.. I agree that low light is the best
I remember thinking even back then that these Nokia Lumia phones would have been huge succsess if they were android . I still think that, even though I loved windows OS I believe if it was android, Nokia would be at the top of android manufacturers today
I feel like nokia is completely ignoring its indian and south asian fanbase . We have to wait a lot after release to get the phone in india . I want to buy several of nokia phones but they are not available here. Due to current anti chinese sentiments nokia will get huge success in india .
@@AbdullaZaki do u have any updates on Nokia's 2020 flagship. Cause all i can find are fanmade renders of the device . I u can make a video about the current lineup of nokia smartphones it would be great . And is nokia 8.3 available in your country.
@@AbdullaZaki By the Way, I Love 💙Nokia Phones.. But I have only 2 problems with Nokia phones nowadays 1.They are not designing the new phones like the old Nokia lumia series or N series (they can also reboot the lumia series or N Series just by adding some more features & android os,but design should not be changed) 2.They are not giving inbuilt screen recorder in their phones which is very important cause there are many people who record their gameplay and post it on UA-cam.. Hope @Nokia will listen this & will take some steps regarding this..
What do u think why hmd still uses ips panels in their upper midrange segment and not amoled like other competitors..?.....as far as i know hmd have launched only 2-3 amoled smartphones
Amoled screen will not look natural.... The white color will be slightly yellow and also over saturated and in bright sunlight we cannot see anything on our phone.... It's better in lcd.... More brightess during sunlight and the color will be natural and white color look like natural color
@@AbdullaZaki I had a white one. Its versatile, much faster and more stable than the N8 I upgrade from. I had such a blast playing around with the OIS and Glove , as I ride around on bikes a lot.
No, you're right! But I was Nokia fan at this time.. and still a Windows mobile fan! Lumia 920 was a well done, achieved smartphone easy to use, with a lightweight OS! App's developpers, gamers, non sense pursuit of" bigger hardware is better"( of course with a so messy and heavy OS than Android 5, 6 , 7 ... was) have kill the future for those lumia phones.The same happen to Blackberry 's phones(Blackberry z30 and Passport were so great!) At this time they were 3 great phones manufacturer who work wells on software ajustements to hardware.
@@AbdullaZaki Ha ha yup is was hard to break... I too broke my 920. I was sitting on a stone bench in a park speaking with my friends, placed the mobile on my lap, suddenly it slipped and supposed to fall on the ground (nothing would have happened if I let it fall on the ground) I tried to catch it, cought it successfully and hit the mobile on the stone bench heavily. Though it had a big crack, still managed to work very very fine. None of the today's generation phones can't even stand near the quality which Nokia gave. Sadly I lost my Lumia 920 back in 2016, here in India police never try to find a lost mobile. Badly badly missing a Windows OS mobile phone. Currently using Nokia 7 Plus, pre-booked and bought when Nokia was back to market hmd. failed to satisfy. For me Nokia is an emotion.
Yo tuve un Nokia 920... Y pese a que después de eso tuve Huawei y Samsung... Nada se comparaba a mi Lumia... Por eso fui feliz cuando Nokia comenzó a sacar modelos con Android
It makes me physically sick imagining what they could've achieved today had the phone business survived in its fullest form. Nowadays Nokia-branded phones are a zombie's dead corpse being dragged on and propped up by a clueless company. 😔 What the smart people managed to achieve at the company is often underrated or unrepresented in the mainstream, so thank you for covering this brand.
Absolutely I agree with you, lumia is the best smartphone at the time and other always complaint which something they don't understand....what a shame....
the iPhone Pro Max weights so much because it has much larger screen along with most modern smartphones today. You should compared it to the iPhone 5 or galaxy S4 at that time which both phones very lightweight
Of course a large phone will weigh more. But if the lumia 920 was too heavy back in the day and that was a major complain, we didn't magically become less affected by it now that the iPhone weighs a lot more, and I don't see publications complaining about the weight anymore.
@@AbdullaZaki because it literally adding screen size and battery life so public consensus overtime change that heavy phone should have more real estate and battery. Nokia actually fixed the problem with Lumia 925 because they're realize their phone is too overweight for the screen size along with the trend at that time that phones has to be lightweight
Nokia was trendsetter but now a trend follower, that's a sad truth. Even Samsung (world's number one today) give importance to battery, but why hmd don't?
Sorry to hear that. If it gets warm it might mean it is charging. Have you tried powering it on while long pressing the volume down and power button? Or volume up and power button. It might have charge but its stuck.
Great camera! I had Lumia 900 Microsoft had zero! App install from others so it went down THE toilet! And those ridiculous bricks! On THE start screen! A hanicapped phone from THE start! But that phone! You present! Has awesome camera!
Hi, I’m really sorry 😢 to invade but I have a Nokia Lumia 920 wish is faulty and I’ve tried all my best to make it come back to live 😔 I really love this phone a lot , how can you help me
This operating system made users work to use it. I believe that's why it failed. Smooth, fast, full of hardware features, but the software was a mess to me.
It definitely needed more time to readjust to because it was so different. It had some elements that were more style than function. But I thoroughly enjoyed using it
Unfortunately after the Lumia series Microsoft basically killed off nokia the Nokia you see today isn't the same as it was before and you can tell as there phones are no longer made in finland they are either manufactured in either China or India and Microsoft also Took the name Lumia and used it for there Microsoft phones and then obviously they killed the Microsoft mobile OS as well and that was pretty much the end of that, don't get me wrong i still like Nokia and i still use there phones but there not the same company they used to be back in the day and its Sad really it was end of an era really
Even though its not the same company, you can still see some of the same attention to details and principles in the new phones. They still look different, they are all very solidly built even their budget range, and they still feel very durable. So maybe its not the same, but they are trying.
Modern nokia is like modern boeing. They just want to sell more and more. Not at all interested in developing technology. Anyway, they cannot be blamed. It's just the way it works nowadays. I was really excited when there were rumors that nokia is going to launch firat smartphone with under display camera, but it seems that it's not going to happen.
Can you think of a single modern smartphone that packed this many innovations? Curious to know :)
Other brands ,no,yet these is alot of hype and awe over certain brands but to me they seem just run of the mill!!!just my opinion,Nokia was way ahead of the curve and should seriously look into these aspects again!!
I believe Nokia was the only one to try new things without caring about the sales. They never copied any thing from other brands even when they were not doing well in sales. ❤️ Nokia
The 808 was brilliant, but only when it comes to camera/video features :) The 920 is a better well rounded package. Btw the 920 had an IPS LCD display
A few ultra-flagships nowadays probably. But what Nokia managed to do was practically unheard of 7-9 years ago, but alas, their piss poor choice of platform and management killed most their efforts and hard work in the end.
most Reviewer were stupid. They didn't even know about the phone and they reviewed it with their rulers.
*To be very honest, no phone in 2020 can match the versatile features this phone had back then.*
Btw hey tech geek. Love from India. Happy to see you growing. I followed you when you had like 1200 subs. U doing great man! ❤️
Thank you :)
Nokia's 10 year old innovations are used by today's smartphone industry and they call it first one to adopt it.
Indeed, OIS, wireless charging, night mode, video stabilization, etc.
@@AbdullaZaki Nokia was first to feature OIS, NFC, HD display, HD and Full HD video recording, have dual aperture phone (N86), Wireless charging, USB type C (Nokia N1 tab), Gesture-based and advanced OS (Maemo, Meego), FM transmitter, Lossless zoom (808 PV), and much more.

If only Nokia went with android. Thanks for this awesome video!
Me too :(
Thank you for watching!
It’s such a shame that windows phones no longer be made! I liked the phones so much
It is! They were great devices. I just didn't like how their flaws were magnified and their innovations were under appreciated.
Excellent review. This was actually my very last Nokia phone before leaving for Android devices for good. I recently purchased the Nokia 8.3 5G and with that I’ll be rejoining the Nokia family after almost 10 years. Keep up the great work!

I'm still using a Lumia 730 as a backup for my Nokia 6.1, it reminds me a lot of the Lumia 920.

Yes The Lumia 920: Which Pioneered OIS
Everytime i hear Optical Image Stabilization: i Remember Lumia 920
Such a great feature :)

It still feels like a tank 8 years later. Tells you all you need to know about how excellent the hardware quality was.
This is the nokia that we all want in 2021.
It was a great phone until it suddenly died on me after an update. Solid build, great cameras, mp3 player and user interface.
My second favorite nokia phone that I ever had after the n95 8gb. I had it in red it looked awesome. I also miss being able to use phones without a case especially since today's phones are big.
The glossy red and yellow on the 920 were some of the richest colors I've seen on a phone. I miss those days

Google was deliberately trying to sabotage windows phone in my opinion. Even when Nokia/Microsoft built an excellent youtube app, they made sure to get it removed from Windows Phone.
All time Favourite ... Lumia 920 .. Camera And Display , The Best ..❤️❤️❤️ .. Still The Camera Samples Are Fantastic
The low light images still hold up today which is amazing :)
Loved it....Nokia was really the best in its symbian and Lumia times....Lets Hope the same for android too...while still on back of my mind I have a fantasy that nokia could make a windows phone too.....
Can you also review the Lumia camera app which had all those options like
1. Best shot
2. Motion blurr
3. Burst mode
4. Action shot etc
*NOSTALGIA* PLZ MAKE THIS BROTHER. MAKE A VIDEO ON THESE. HDR + n everything.
Thank you :) I promise I will try :) At the moment I have many videos in the pipeline
O man o man I love your video so much
My childhood favorite brand Nokia, what have you become... 🥺
Such a nice phone with your presentation
Thank you :)
I have one. Nokia Lumia 920 back in 2015, the main reason is for the camera. No other phone can beat this camera, with 4G, nice UI, smooth operating.. but now not so much use, just as tethering devices..
It used to be such a fantastic phone back in the day. Now with no app store, its hard to use it :)
this is both awsome to watch and really sad i LOVED my 920 and i still have it
those early days of windows phone was great nokia/ms was still fighting
I think that also describes my emotions when creating such videos :)
got my 920 for $25 brand new at a gamestop in 2016 and used it all the way up to 2018 and then replaced it with a 1020
For that money, its a total steal haha.
TheMrNokia [Abdulla Zaki] it was i had a red one and used it to death event when I got a nokia 6 I still went back to the 920
I'm planning to buy Lumia 920 yellow since I couldn't afford money for it in 2012 ,. But sometimes I think about the 1020.
I am still a user of Nokia N8 . I tried my mom's Hmd 8.1 phone but I didn't like it .
I think, the reason why it didn't hit the market so much is because people wanted to buy the smartphone that makes them so beautiful even if they are not.
great video again thank you for telling the tale of Nokia and keep it alive :),
the biggest argument for its failure and the worst business mistake ever was to put it on windows phone, and only have it run on windows phone, the mistake of windows phone was not just about the apps, it was the services not having youtube on your phone is unthinkable and as I had the Lumia 920 phone I remember not having Instagram, Snapchat, UA-cam, Vine, and Facebook too (I'm not sure about this one) having to go with workarounds like unofficial app (which is kinda risky btw), plus the interface and the software features offered by the window were bad and sort of experimental, the imposed search engine "bing at the time was bad, like really bad. although I concede, watching this video made me realize that the metro UI was innovative and something else, and still looks modern, but it was cursed from the start as windows phone was not an overall good platform. what I mean is that the phone flopped all and because of windows as I completely agree with you the Nokia part was ahead of its time, I fell in love with its hardware and the features and design.
Nice video brother.....
Thank you :)
I bought it recently for my Nokia collection (in yellow!). "Fabula" by Marko Ahtisaari is still a fantastic design 😎 I'd love to see it in a full screen 2021 Nokia smartphone...
Me too. A remake would be amazing.
An awesome review as always, Abdulla. My only complaint is that you used a lousy Microsoft camera instead of Nokia/Lumia camera for those demo photos and videos.
Because the store is offline, you can't download any apps, and lumia camera doesn't come pre installed on the 920 haha
@@AbdullaZaki yup...but it's quite easy to root it and install apps on it. I have the app (and tons of other) on my 1020 which is on 8.1 Cyan. :)
@@branislavavramovic2601 never researched it as it wasn't the topic of the video, but is it by using develop tools and putting the apps files on the phone then deploying them? Or more complicated?
@@AbdullaZaki not that complicated actually. You can join a group Windows Phone 8.1 (Lumia) on Telegram, and those guys can help you out. It just a matter of installing software on your PC and flashing your device. Everything is done under 10-15 mins. After you root it, you can deploy an unlimited amount of apps on your phone, even without a developer mode or account.
What device do you use today? I was a Nokia / windows phone fan but I don't particularly like the alternatives. I settle for a mid range Samsung phone but I think Sony phones would be a better option offering what Nokia did in the camera and design department.
My current daily driver is the Nokia 9. Mainly because I love editing RAW images and for that its great. But I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It has too many software issues (camera related). Sony seems to be doing an excellent job with their latest phones, but like Nokia they also charge a premium.
still has better camera than many of the current phones as well screen and sound and if wp still alive I bet will perform better than many of the current phones
The camera really surprised me in low light. I remembered it being good, but expected it to be terrible compared to new phones. But no, its actually still decent in low light even today!
I had that 920 before and I never knew that it was a flagship phone..☺️.. having that phone before feels like having a complete gear.. I agree that low light is the best
I just love Lumia devises 😍😍😍😍 do u have lumia 800nn
I didn't manage to keep my Lumia 800, had to sell it at the time. But plan on readding it to my collection. It had such sleek hardware (same as N9)
I remember thinking even back then that these Nokia Lumia phones would have been huge succsess if they were android . I still think that, even though I loved windows OS I believe if it was android, Nokia would be at the top of android manufacturers today
It is very possible... Though they would have lost some of their charm, as Android was and still is very drab
I feel like nokia is completely ignoring its indian and south asian fanbase . We have to wait a lot after release to get the phone in india .
I want to buy several of nokia phones but they are not available here.
Due to current anti chinese sentiments nokia will get huge success in india .
They have moved some production to India which should improve the situation for them I think. Hopefully you guys will get phones a lot quicker now.
@@AbdullaZaki do u have any updates on Nokia's 2020 flagship. Cause all i can find are fanmade renders of the device . I u can make a video about the current lineup of nokia smartphones it would be great . And is nokia 8.3 available in your country.
Great video. I love Windows phones they were great fun to use, Android and IOS don't compare! Just subbed your channel 😊
Is there any way to buy Nokia Lumia 920 or Nokia N9 now ??
Please Reply 🙏🏻
Only on ebay as far as I know. Thats where I got my second N9 from :)
@@AbdullaZaki okay.. Thank You So much Sir 💙💙
@@AbdullaZaki By the Way, I Love 💙Nokia Phones..
But I have only 2 problems with Nokia phones nowadays
1.They are not designing the new phones like the old Nokia lumia series or N series (they can also reboot the lumia series or N Series just by adding some more features & android os,but design should not be changed)
2.They are not giving inbuilt screen recorder in their phones which is very important cause there are many people who record their gameplay and post it on UA-cam..
Hope @Nokia will listen this & will take some steps regarding this..
OMG same here planning to buy N9 cyan or / and Lumia 920 cyan .
And looking for new ones .
BTW have you found yours or not ?
What do u think why hmd still uses ips panels in their upper midrange segment and not amoled like other competitors..?.....as far as i know hmd have launched only 2-3 amoled smartphones
Cost cutting, unfortunately.
Amoled screen will not look natural.... The white color will be slightly yellow and also over saturated and in bright sunlight we cannot see anything on our phone.... It's better in lcd.... More brightess during sunlight and the color will be natural and white color look like natural color
New OLED screens don't have these issues.
Brother can I change Nokia lumia 920 to Android os ?
Imagine if we still had windows phone, meego, android, ios competing each other.
Make a video on nokia n9 and MeeGo os btw i used almost all the windows Phone they were awesome lumia 925 was my favourite and i used it untill 2017
I already did a video on the Nokia N9!
ua-cam.com/video/pO4iNau8AWM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=TheMrNokia%5BAbdullaZaki%5D
let me know what you think :)
Had this device when it was new, would still use it if it wasn’t stolen 3 years ago.
Was such a great overall phone right ? Which colour did you have ?
@@AbdullaZaki I had a white one. Its versatile, much faster and more stable than the N8 I upgrade from.
I had such a blast playing around with the OIS and Glove , as I ride around on bikes a lot.
Yes the OS was much better than the N8 to use :) I remember my first experience with OIS. It was amazing!
No, you're right! But I was Nokia fan at this time.. and still a Windows mobile fan! Lumia 920 was a well done, achieved smartphone easy to use, with a lightweight OS! App's developpers, gamers, non sense pursuit of" bigger hardware is better"( of course with a so messy and heavy OS than Android 5, 6 , 7 ... was) have kill the future for those lumia phones.The same happen to Blackberry 's phones(Blackberry z30 and Passport were so great!) At this time they were 3 great phones manufacturer who work wells on software ajustements to hardware.
The smartphone world would be a lot more interesting if we still had windows phone / Lumia line up
I loved mine 920 until the screen broke down, such a fun and distinct device
How did you manage to break the screen on the 920? That must have been quite an achievement :)
@@AbdullaZaki Ha ha yup is was hard to break... I too broke my 920. I was sitting on a stone bench in a park speaking with my friends, placed the mobile on my lap, suddenly it slipped and supposed to fall on the ground (nothing would have happened if I let it fall on the ground) I tried to catch it, cought it successfully and hit the mobile on the stone bench heavily. Though it had a big crack, still managed to work very very fine. None of the today's generation phones can't even stand near the quality which Nokia gave. Sadly I lost my Lumia 920 back in 2016, here in India police never try to find a lost mobile. Badly badly missing a Windows OS mobile phone. Currently using Nokia 7 Plus, pre-booked and bought when Nokia was back to market hmd. failed to satisfy. For me Nokia is an emotion.
Yo tuve un Nokia 920... Y pese a que después de eso tuve Huawei y Samsung... Nada se comparaba a mi Lumia... Por eso fui feliz cuando Nokia comenzó a sacar modelos con Android
Impressive!
I miss my Lumia phones 😔
me too :( which one did you have?
Love from Bangladesh ❤️
Thank you :)
It makes me physically sick imagining what they could've achieved today had the phone business survived in its fullest form. Nowadays Nokia-branded phones are a zombie's dead corpse being dragged on and propped up by a clueless company. 😔
What the smart people managed to achieve at the company is often underrated or unrepresented in the mainstream, so thank you for covering this brand.
Truly a shame...
Thank you :) Glad you're enjoying my content.
Absolutely I agree with you, lumia is the best smartphone at the time and other always complaint which something they don't understand....what a shame....
Just lazy reporting unfortunately :)
I had this for years, I stopped using it after Facebook isn't supporting it and I wanted google maps badly. Then I moved to a Samsung S7
A Nokia 9 PV vs Nokia N9 video? 😅
For operating systems? Or hardware? or everything? :)
@@AbdullaZaki maybe appearance and camera for most of the video :D
And yeah OS too.
Meego os was way ahead of its time so make a videos on os
Bro ...I love Nokia but .... upset for now Nokia new phone 😢
As a community, we are all struggling. But we have to remain optimistic :)
Same here Hmd has destoried our hopes
I still have nokia lumia 920 phn but cant upgrade
I am so emotional to watch this video. I wish to use nokia 4G keypad phone run on symbian os.
That would be a good idea, but I dont think they will do it :(
Daam ...i miss my lumia 1320.........lack of apps killed windows os....... other wise i still feel pieceful using windows 8 os rather than android
I had the 1520, I loved those gigantic phones :) Shame about the apps really.
Super bro.... I'm also big nokia fan
Welcome to the channel. :)
@@AbdullaZaki bro after watching u r video i order nokia n9 today
Actually nokia e7 also i ordered today
@@ahharamesha9874 you are ahead of me then. I want to order a Nokia e7 soon :)
the iPhone Pro Max weights so much because it has much larger screen along with most modern smartphones today. You should compared it to the iPhone 5 or galaxy S4 at that time which both phones very lightweight
Of course a large phone will weigh more. But if the lumia 920 was too heavy back in the day and that was a major complain, we didn't magically become less affected by it now that the iPhone weighs a lot more, and I don't see publications complaining about the weight anymore.
@@AbdullaZaki because it literally adding screen size and battery life so public consensus overtime change that heavy phone should have more real estate and battery. Nokia actually fixed the problem with Lumia 925 because they're realize their phone is too overweight for the screen size along with the trend at that time that phones has to be lightweight
That's the problem (I think) with HMD today, it seems they don't spend much on R&D. I think I better want windows than android.
i wish windows phone still on the market along with nokia. still my favorite UI today, im tired of android and boring ios user interface
sadly microsft shut it's server. my lumia just sitting on the table, turned off. cannot download any app, can't even login microsoft account.
Nokia was trendsetter but now a trend follower, that's a sad truth. Even Samsung (world's number one today) give importance to battery, but why hmd don't?
Windows phone were durable and built to last not unlike android where we need to change our phone every year
Indeed. The phone from this video is the launch date unit I bought back in 2012.
My Lumia 920 won't charge. It gets warm when I use a wireless charger.
Sorry to hear that. If it gets warm it might mean it is charging. Have you tried powering it on while long pressing the volume down and power button? Or volume up and power button. It might have charge but its stuck.
@@AbdullaZaki I tried that a few times (volume up and also volume down). The screen stays black.
Great camera! I had Lumia 900 Microsoft had zero! App install from others so it went down THE toilet! And those ridiculous bricks! On THE start screen! A hanicapped phone from THE start! But that phone! You present! Has awesome camera!
Hi, I’m really sorry 😢 to invade but I have a Nokia Lumia 920 wish is faulty and I’ve tried all my best to make it come back to live 😔 I really love this phone a lot , how can you help me
This operating system made users work to use it. I believe that's why it failed. Smooth, fast, full of hardware features, but the software was a mess to me.
It definitely needed more time to readjust to because it was so different. It had some elements that were more style than function. But I thoroughly enjoyed using it
windows lowkey feels better than android
Its very different, I prefer WP over android from a usability point of view.
*_I am never gonna take a 220g brick and put all my earning for an Apple logo with pretty average outdated features._*
Unfortunately after the Lumia series Microsoft basically killed off nokia the Nokia you see today isn't the same as it was before and you can tell as there phones are no longer made in finland they are either manufactured in either China or India and Microsoft also Took the name Lumia and used it for there Microsoft phones and then obviously they killed the Microsoft mobile OS as well and that was pretty much the end of that, don't get me wrong i still like Nokia and i still use there phones but there not the same company they used to be back in the day and its Sad really it was end of an era really
Even though its not the same company, you can still see some of the same attention to details and principles in the new phones. They still look different, they are all very solidly built even their budget range, and they still feel very durable. So maybe its not the same, but they are trying.
I think Nokia has to continue windows os
Its too late now. Even Microsoft gave up on windows phone now.
Abdullah should join Nokia. Then the phones will have some passion in them.
Modern nokia is like modern boeing. They just want to sell more and more. Not at all interested in developing technology. Anyway, they cannot be blamed. It's just the way it works nowadays. I was really excited when there were rumors that nokia is going to launch firat smartphone with under display camera, but it seems that it's not going to happen.
It will happen though, stay tuned :)
Nokia could have been a fantastic alternative to Android and iOs but sadly, Nokia shot themselves in the foot.
