First look at the Nokia Lumia 920 (VIDEO & PHOTOS)

The world’s most innovative smartphone, the new Nokia Lumia 920, has been unveiled in New York and it is everything you need for capturing, navigating and experiencing the world around you.

The Lumia 920 is the first Windows Phone to benefit from PureView imaging technology and the first phone in the world to have physical Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) for blur-free images even when your hand is not rock steady. It is the best camera we have ever put in a smartphone to date.

Nokia’s innovative PureView expertise allows the camera on the Lumia 920 to take in five times more light than other smartphones without using the flash, making it capable of taking bright, clear and vivid images even in low light and indoor conditions.

Seeing those images on your Lumia 920 will also look better than ever thanks to another advance pioneered by Nokia. The 4.5-inch screen sees the debut of PureMotion HD+ technology, which means the display on the Lumia 920 will be the brightest, fastest and most responsive touchscreen on the market. Even gloves and long fingernails can operate the screen.

As well as being a smartphone that can hold its head up high in the company of digital SLR cameras, the Lumia 920 is trailblazing the way forward in plenty of other areas too.

The Lumia 920 is at the forefront of a new global move towards wireless charging that will make it easier for you to keep your devices powered up.

You will be able to wirelessly charge your Lumia 920 using a range of exciting accessories, such as the Fatboy™ Recharge Pillow, and even when you’re out enjoying a coffee at your local Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf café, or waiting for your flight in the Virgin Atlantic lounges at London Heathrow or at JFK airport in New York.

As well as all these hardware innovations, the Lumia 920 offers a fantastic and personal smartphone experience with Windows Phone 8.

Nokia City Lens is the latest addition to Nokia’s peerless suite of location-based apps. Among a number of significant improvements, new to its Windows Phone 8 release, Nokia Maps is now available for offline use.

There’s also Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer 10, Nokia Music, multi-platform gaming with Xbox and a range of cool apps and exclusive Lumia content and experiences.
