Introducing the new Nokia Lumia 820 (Photos & Video)

The Nokia Lumia 820 is a stylish mid-range smartphone that offers all of the power of Windows Phone 8 and more. In the video, product manager Jason Gregory shows us the high points of the new phone and the reasons it will appeal to users.

As well as its unique design and hardware features, Windows Phone 8 gives the Lumia 820 the world’s most modern smartphone operating system, including the power of Microsoft Office, Live Tiles to make all your updates available at a glance, and the faster, safer Internet Explorer 10 browser.

It sports a large 4.3-inch OLED screen with ClearBlack display, and 8-megapixel camera with autofocus and an LED flash.

Like the Nokia Lumia 920, it’s powered by a Dual Core Snapdragon S4 processor and wireless charging is available. It comes with Nokia Smart Shoot incorporated, allowing you to take multiple photos with a single click so that you can edit effortlessly to make the perfect shot.

One very unique feature of the Lumia 820 is the availability of interchangeable shells. These offer different features and different functionality, depending on how you want to dress your Lumia for whatever the day holds, whether that be access to wireless charging, a more rugged exterior or simply a change of style.

The Lumia 820 will be available in an unprecedented range of colours: red, yellow, grey, cyan, purple, white & black.
