Re: Which is a Better Option Among Lumia 720 / 820?
Check this
The HTC One sports a pretty great 4.7” Full HD S-LCD 3 display with 1080x1920 pixels of resolution, ensuring the highest 468ppi pixel density. The colors are accurate, and viewing angles are some of the best we've seen. It is not as bright as the displays on the HTC One X or the iPhone 5, for instance, but the difference is not big, so it's still pretty visible in direct sunlight, albeit could be less reflective.
The Galaxy S III is equipped with a 4.8” HD Super AMOLED display with 720x1280 pixels, which ring in a lower, 306ppi pixel density. It is still more than enough for your daily tasks, plus we get the typical for OLED screens wide viewing angles and deep blacks, but calibration is a weak point. Colors on the Galaxy S III are quite oversaturated by default, and appear pretty cold as well.
These are not major gripes, unless you are a display nut, but brightness is, and the S III doesn't deliver in that respect. Its low screen reflectance can't compensate for sub-400 nits luminance, which makes it difficult to tell anything outside, unless you shade the screen with your palm, while the HTC One screen perform much better in sunlight.
HTC One vs Samsung Galaxy S III
And read this like you said same variables , same resolution .
We have a 4.8” HD Super AMOLED display on the Galaxy S III, with 720x1280 pixels of resolution, while the Lumia 920 sports a 4.5” 768x1280 PureMotion HD+ LCD screen with Nokia’s ClearBlack filter. This gives the pixel density round to the Lumia 920, at 332ppi, against the 306ppi of the Galaxy S III. Samsung has on top of that used the PenTile pixel matrix that looks unorthodox compared to the regular RGB stripe when solid colors are examined closely, yet you'd have to be a real screen purist to notice even then.
The colors on the Lumia 920 are vivid, yet are still a far cry from the oversaturation present with Samsung’s AMOLED screen, which also tends to display various cold color casts at all times.

The ClearBlack filter of the Lumia 920 and the much higher brightness of its display are definitely an advantage when it comes to comparing outdoor visibility with the Galaxy S III. Even with the sun shining directly on the display, it can be observed fine, whereas the Galaxy S III looks dimmer in comparison.
Nokia touts the record fast refresh rate of its PureMotion HD+ screen, yet in reality the only advantage can be observed with enlarged text or contact lists being slightly less blurry than on the S III while flipping them quickly up and down.
Nokia Lumia 920 vs Samsung Galaxy S III
To get a true comparison, you need to eliminate the main variables that most screen tests overlook. Screen size and resolution. Get 3 displays with one having Super AMOLED, one SLCD and one IPS LCD. Have all 3 the same screen size and the same resolution. Then you would be able to compare and contrast the true differences in the technology. On such a test SAmoled was found better.![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")

Dude Your comparison is wrong. How can you compare HTC One which has full HD resolution with Galaxy S3 which has only HD resolution? Compare HTC One with Samsung Galaxy S4.

Windows Phones Discussions & Ownership Issues
Friends,
I thought of starting a new thread after I bought a Windows phone recently Nokia Lumia 620 after a research and wait of 3 months and I thank all the members who have posted their suggestions while buying this phone.
This is a good Windows phone equipped with Windows 8 as OS. It offers all required facilities and good for business users.
The hardware is well balanced and phone is optimised with required applications.
The purpose of this thread : As the windows phone community is increasing presently and even few of our members also bought windows phones recently and some of the members are looking to buy. Since the OS and operations are new to the members and we could share all the experiences of these phones either it is from HTC or Nokia Lumia serious and the thread will provide the first hand information on these phones from owners and also time to time any issue can be discussed here and sought a solution among the members. Wish this thread will help all prospective buyers of these phones and also benefit the owners of such phones.
I request all the owners of windows phones on the forum to participate actively on the thread and post your experience and suggestions time to time.
To start with, I am just posting a pic of lock screen and a home screen of the mobile

Re: Which is a Better Option Among Lumia 720 / 820?
In your personal opinion ofcourse I agree it can be better . I just provided you the links because you said s amoled is a advantage which it clearly is not . It is good on its own but certainly its mot superior then super LCD or ips panels . Btw my phone has a s amoled display I have nothing against it . Its just that display tech has moved ahead now .

Re: Which is a Better Option Among Lumia 720 / 820?
I have a Nexus which had 4.65in S.Amoled display and feel they are so good in all conditions. I suggest all to go to shop and try out different phones and chose according to their needs.

Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences
Found concerns with my Lumia 620
1. The call history is bit irritating as if we call a person 10 times, then the same is displayed 10 times on the call history page, where as in my earlier mobile it used show only one time and if we click further it used to show all the calls made and received from such person. If I have clear the call list, then it will get deleted completely where as in my previous phone I can choose which entry can be deleted
2. Camera/video settings are less and they is no zoom facility
3. Nokia maps is not like google maps when we want bit details of small streets too and on the village navigation I did not find some villages at all. I have installed gmaps today which has all the details, but voice navigation is not there
I have learned for the first time that any smartphone keep eating away the battery bit fast than a normal phone, so daily recharging is required.
Find below my new lockscreen design

Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences
If you press the entry for bit long period, are you not getting an option to clear that entry alone? I think you should get that option too.
You wont find more settings for camera as this is mainly used as phone and not as a camera. How ever, you may find different camera apps which gives more features compared to stock camera app.
Any Maps for that matter is nowhere compared to google maps as other maps are stored locally. If they go deeper, the map size would have been huge !
Initial days, you end up charging sooner as you will be playing with your phone for few weeks. Once you are done with initial trying out/downloading , you should get a better backup. This is again, no where compared to other non-touch phones.
Switch off the DATA (especially 3g) when ever possible. If you want to be connected always, choose 2g instead of 3g network. Switch to 3G when you want to watch video/call thru skype/viber etc.
Is This LINK help in anyway?

@Appus
Thank you for the suggestions buddy !!
1. Yes, it works, when I hold for long time I can delete that entry![[clap]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Clap.gif "Clap [clap]")
, thank you for this. But what about the other thing that calling 10 times then 10 entries.
2. Yeah I know mobile is to talk, but why do we spend 10k more, to use it as something else too, other wise a basic 4k phone will do the job. Yes, I will search for a proper app and load it.
3. Maps, yes no doubt Google leads than any body, it got lot of small small shops details too and villages loo pretty well with their satellite view which is missing in Nokia maps. Are there any Google maps with proper voice navigation, but I think I have to operated then I think my data connection needs to be on, I don't think other maps work offline like Nokia maps.
4. Yes, playing with the phone always is common in initial days and even I too expect the same .
5. Yes I always keep wifi,data connection,bluetooth,location service off and use it whenever I want. But I did not understand on this 3G and 2G, my earlier plan was a 2G and I have changed it to 3G recently when I was buying this phone to have a better speed. please explain me on this

Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences
Hold the name or number you want to delete option will come up and you can easily delete a single number from the call list .
Zoom is very much there on the camera interface itself which is clearly shown as + and - . Press the + you will zoom . An d camera settings are more then enough from exposure , white balance , scenes modes , iso settings, smart shot , pan aroma , action shot , saturation , contrast ,focus mode , self timer .
What exactly settings were you looking for ?
Nokia maps and nokia navigation are 2 different things remember that .
Ofcourse because so much stuff is going on on the smart phone . Btw were you able to do stuff on your old phone which you do now on your smart phone ?
Beside that kindly watch YouTube videos on navigation , camera tips , and every other thing you wish to know and learn . They are plenty of them available through which you will learn faster and more easily .

@RK,
1. I have not checked the windows phone call feature. So I do not know more than that. I think Raja / freakdude or any WP8 user can assist on this
2. Yes, You are paying more on phone. Frankly speaking, my smartphone is used mainly for other than camera purpose. ie, Calls (Phone/skype-video/viber), Mails(extensively), Reading Documents (PDFs / DOCs), Browsing , Navigation & Twitter. I click on this phone only if i want to share thru twitter/mail immediately :)
3. I think there are some other navigation which works like Nokia for windows phones. Sygic/MapMyIndia is available only for Android/iPhone which are more detailed (not as accurate as Googlemap).
I do not know whether Navigation App (google) is available for windows. How ever, you can calculate/decide the route on DATA/Wifi and choose the path. Once you start, you can switch of the data and follow the same route. Navigation will work unless you re-calculate the route in between
My knowledge is limited in Windows Phone. I would have gone on and on for ever if it was an Android or Windows 7/8 (computer os) thread.
EDIT : Raja already replied :) Thanks Raja
