Above is one set of comparison photos of Lumia 920 and Lumia 928 posted by “TechnoBuffalo“. Good thing is not only in low light, but the reviewer has posted image comparisons between two devices in many different lighting conditions and apart from the case when “Xenon” is fired, there is hardly any noticeable difference. Both cameras share same camera module with F/2.0 aperture, OIS and same sensor size, so nothing surprising in results there. But, as you can see in the above picture, Xenon provides edge to Lumia 928 in capturing sharper images or freezing moving objects, which is not possible with a LED flash.

At Vodafone Germany, Lumia 520 has joined its bigger sibling Lumia 920 in the best-selling (most popular) smartphone list. It is great to see two Lumias one top and another bottom in Lumia product range in the best-selling list. With onset of Lumia 925 which ia already on pre-order at the carrier, this list may have three Lumia devices soon. Click the link below for checking the list.

In the company’s 20-F it is said that Nokia’s devices and services generated €15.87 billion in revenues, which translates into $20.63 billion. There is a note under the table which says that IPR income is included in this figure. Next, the company reports 2 more tables which state that the smartphones generated €5.45 billion ($7.08 billion) and the feature phones generated €9.44 billion ($12.27 billion) in revenues. These two tables have a note saying that these figures exclude IPR income. When we add these two revenue figures, we get a total of €14.89 billion which is $19.35 billion in revenues. The difference between the two figures (i.e., excluding IPR income vs. including IPR income) is $1.28 billion which is the exact amount generated by Nokia’s devices and services segment from licensing fees and royalty payments. The company’s 20-F reports that €50 million ($65 million) came from non-recurring payments and the rest of the money would be recurring payments.

Since only $65 million came through non-recurring payments, hence rest all is recurring payment. Which means Nokia may be able to make similar amount of money this year as well through IPR licensing. Also, with smartphone industry volume only going up, it may still lead to even better royalty income for Nokia, as many of these licensed payments are essential ones.

Seems time to play good guy is over for both MS and Nokia. The new Lumia 928 ad simply shows its Xenon power and low-light imaging capability and aggressively mentions “Better than iPhone, Better than Galaxy” in the end of the advert. We are certainly liking the new aggressive marketing avatar of MS for windows phone as it is resulting in some catchy ads.

TheMobileFantics have posted some comparison pictures captured with Lumia 920 and Lumia 928 in similar conditions using the Flash. Xenon certainly gives Lumia 928 edge over Lumia 920, while subjects move even slightly  and freezes them. In the comparison photos, it not only freezes motion and provides much sharper image, natural lighting and warmer tones. But, Nokia may need to alter the color reproduction with Xenon a bit, as it gives slightly more orange hue in some pictures than Lumia 920. Check all the samples below and click the source for reading more,

We are bringing two videos for your watching pleasure in “Monday Watch” !! First one is official video of Jennifer Lopez’s new title “Live It Up” featuring rapper Pitbull where White Lumia 920 is placed right in Jennifer Lopez’s hand and not only this you will see her texting to Pitbull as well. So, good work there by Nokia!! Watch the video below or click here.

Second one is the new Windows Phone advert featuring Kid’s corner on a Red Lumia 920. Now, before somebody jumps saying why MS needs to highlight “Kid’s corner” so much, let me tell you for a family with kids it is one of most sought after and often used feature of a Windows Phone.

Frankly speaking, It has been really easy for me to slip Lumia 920 to my hyper-curious toddler with some selected videos and learning apps like “Animal sounds” which serves dual purpose of sustaining his curiosity and helping him learn.

Anyways, catch the video below or click here,

The ”Lumia 520 sold out” phenomenon is more widespread than earlier reported by us and it is sold out at many other major online retailers like Snapdeal, Saholic and India’s no.2  retailer HomeShop 18. It is surprising that all the colors are out of stock at most of them.

Only at India’s top cell phone retailer UniverCell which has extensive retail storage coverage across India, Lumia 520 is in stock online. Here also, it is the topmost device according to daily interest. 

Well it seems, Lumia 520 is already proving to be a major hit device for Nokia in India. It depends though on how much volume advantage Nokia can extract out of this!!

Looks like Lumia 520 is continuously enjoying strong demand in India. It is now sold out completely at both official Nokia shop and Flipkart as well. At Flipkart it has been in stock and out of stock affair for Lumia 520 for quite some time now showing very fast stock movement. At Nokia shop it has been more in stock due to higher price as compare to other retailers. But now all the colors are sold out at Nokia Shop as well.
