Nokia’s first Windows Phone 8 handsets, the Lumia 920 and Lumia 820, will arrive on shelves with Bluetooth 4.0 packed inside.

This feature has been rumored before to be included inside them, and confirmation on the matter has already emerged.

The two smartphones have received Bluetooth certification with this standard packed inside. The Lumia 920 can be seen on the Bluetooth Certification Forum on this page, while the Lumia 820 can be seen here.

Bluetooth 4.0 comes with increased power efficiency, while also providing better data transfer, and has been long said to prove a great option for small devices such as smartphones.

Nokia’s Windows Phone 8 handsets are expected to become available for purchase starting with November this year. Specific info on their market availability hasn’t been provided as of yet.
