Same look, different insides

The Lumia 920 may look the same as the original Lumia 900, but it has a faster processor, a sharper 4.5-inch HD screen, a better camera, and many more tricks under the hood.

PureView a point of pride

The 8-megapixel rear-facing camera has Nokia's PureView technology, which Nokia claims will let in far more light and stabilize the image automatically. There's also integration with third-party camera apps (shown here) that's part of the Windows Phone 8 experience.
