14 DAY TRIAL // As expected, China Mobile officially confirmed it would carry the Nokia Lumia 920. The smartphone is expected to go on sale in November for 4888 yuan (780 USD or 600 EUR) and 5888 yuan (940 USD or 720 EUR), depending on the model.
Chinese blog site winp.cn reports the smartphone will be fully compatible with its TD-SCDMA (3G), GSM (2G) and TD-LTE (4G) networks.
The world’s largest carrier, China Mobile won’t be the only one to offer Nokia’s Windows Phone 8 devices in the Mainland.
We’re still waiting for China Telecom and China Unicom to make their move, though it’s almost certain each will carry their own carrier-bounded Lumia devices.
All in all, China Mobile’s Lumia 920T will come packed with a powerful 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon processor built on Krait architecture, an Adreno 225 graphics processing unit and 1 GB of RAM.
The smartphone embeds 32GB of internal memory, though it lacks microSD card slot for memory expansion. It is also worth mentioning that owners will also receive 7GB of free cloud storage via SkyDrive.
Another strong point of the Lumia 920T is the superb 4.5-inch IPS PureMotion HD+ capacitive touchscreen display, which is said to be the fastest and most sensitive screen even included onto a smartphone.
Nokia Lumia 920T’s display supports 768 x 1280 pixels resolution and features Corning Gorilla Glass 2 coating for extra protection.
The 8-megapixel rear camera features PureView technology and Carl Zeiss optics, which makes it one of the best on the market.
Moreover, the camera offers autofocus, dual-LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording. There’s also a secondary 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls.
The Lumia 920T drains energy from a 2000 mAh Li-Ion battery, which should provide users with up to 400 hours of standby time or up to 17 hours of talk time (10 hours in 3G mode).
