Kinda, retina display is dependent on dpi, pure view is a mix of pixels and software at least that's what the PR say. But yea its all marketing in the end.

Hahaha, "The zoom works just as well on the new Lumia 920 as it does on the 808, since we found in our use cases that on average people just stand five times closer to the object when they use it. So for all intents and purposes, for the general consumer, it's exactly the same."

Yeah, disappointed that it looks like there is no cyan. If I can I will probably get red or white. The silver/grey looks alright as well.

shame about the cyan, i wonder why they dropped it. was my favourite of the 'unusual' phone colours. the red's a bit much & the yellow is a definite no-go for me. i'm sure i'll only add to the statistics that suggest phones should only come in either black or white.

Depending on the spec's I may go for the 820. Is it tomorrow yet...

IMO, it's the other way around. I hate white on all phones except the Lumia 800/900 and the One X.

You and me never seem to agree on design though :-D

It's not a question of design. I think the white Lumias look great, I like them.

Thing is, the white One X has a softer, rubberized finish, like the other Lumias. The white Lumias, however, are hard, glossy plastic. You can feel the difference and I don't really like it. Like I said, it feels cheap to me.





Statement from the designer:

Quote:
“For the black and cyan finishes, we felt that the matte really supported the idea of premium plastics. It works very well within the context of a sculpture. When it came time to look at the white version we had a rethink and opted for a high gloss finish, because it created an almost ceramic feel. It’s almost more refined.”
But they probably wanted to avoid this:

It does suck, the One X looks and feels amazing but the matte finish just doesn't hold up over time.

The Lumia 800 really is beautiful. Why is it the only one that has the LED flash lined up in the middle? The N9 and the Lumia 900 both have it off to the left.
