News Topic: NOKIA Nokia
The Nokia Lumia series already has four official versions gradually launched in the domestic market, and the next to debut will be the flagship model of the series, the Nokia Lumia 900. Recently, according to industry insiders on Weibo, the official version of the Nokia Lumia 900 will arrive on the domestic market by the end of this month, but the exact retail price is still unclear. End-of-month sale
Although the Nokia Lumia 900 has had a rocky path in Europe, with reports of delays due to the strong sales of the US version, at least this situation has not affected the release speed of the official domestic version. According to the information disclosed by industry insiders on Weibo, the official version of the Nokia Lumia 900 will be available in the domestic market by the end of this month, while the retail price of the phone remains unknown.
According to our previous reports, the agency rights for the retail channels of the official Nokia Lumia 900 have been obtained by Lianqiang International. Regarding the phone's price, it may be significantly higher than the overseas version, because the official price of the Nokia Lumia 800 was 3,599 yuan, so the higher-end Nokia Lumia 900 will naturally be priced higher.
Currently, the unlocked price of the Nokia Lumia 900 in the North American market is $449.99, which is about 2,840 yuan.
Differences from Lumia 800
As the flagship model of Nokia's Windows Phone system, the official version of the Nokia Lumia 900 will not have many functional differences from the overseas version. Compared to its sibling Nokia Lumia 800, the biggest feature of this phone is that it is equipped with a 4.3-inch WVGA resolution touchscreen and uses the standard RGB matrix for subpixel arrangement. Therefore, its touchscreen shows significant improvements over the Lumia 800 in resolution, font rendering, and performance under certain conditions.
The official version of the Nokia Lumia 900 also comes with a 1.4 GHz Qualcomm APQ8055 Snapdragon S2 processor and adds a gyroscope, which the Lumia 800 does not have. This will bring better performance in gaming and navigation. Moreover, with support for HSPA networks, browsing web pages, playing online videos, and video calling will be smoother.
Existing Flaws
Although the Nokia Lumia 900 has achieved good sales performance in the North American market, the phone still has quite a few minor issues during use. For example, not long ago, a user reported that the white version of the Nokia Lumia 900 had a purple screen problem. When the phone's screen brightness is set to "low," the touchscreen shows a purplish tint. Secondly, when running any app and leaving it on the screen before turning off the phone, if you then press and hold the camera button, the phone does not respond. You need to turn it on again, exit the app, and enter standby mode before the camera function can be activated.
In addition, when the Nokia Lumia 900 is in sleep mode, the volume adjustment does not respond or may require multiple presses to take effect. There is also the issue of relatively loud sound at low volumes, specifically, even when the volume is set to "1," the phone's sound is still very loud, and only when the volume is adjusted to "7" does the sound match properly.
However, these minor flaws should be resolved in the future retail versions of the Nokia Lumia 900.
Magenta Version Available for Mother's Day
Besides the upcoming retail version of the Nokia Lumia 900, the magenta version of the phone will also hit the North American market around Mother's Day, which falls approximately on May 13. As for the global version of the Nokia Lumia 900, the phone is available in three colors: black, cyan-blue, and white, while the magenta version will be released later.
It is worth mentioning that not long ago, overseas media released a photo of a suspected Nokia Lumia 900 running the Windows Phone 8 system. From the spy photo, although the phone only shows the keyboard input state and an unusual Apollo v3.7 version number in the upper right corner to indicate its uniqueness, it at least suggests that upgrading the phone to a new system version in the future should not have many issues.
