Microsoft Lumia 900 (Unlocked, Used)

Product Description

The 9xx range of smartphones is at the top of the Lumia line. Nokia, and then Microsoft, managed to put into the lower end of the full range whilst keeping prices well below the average for their class. It can make you wonder what they could do to create a flagship line that could be very much better. But they did with the Nokia 900.

Build Me Up Buttercup – Nokia 900

The build quality of the lower range Lumias is excellent. They may be largely plastic, but they feel great and sit nicely in the hand. Imagine, then how fantastic the one-piece polycarbonate body feels on the Nokia 900. Many manufacturers find difficulty in trying to make a handset feel secure and solid without it weighing the same as a small child. Thankfully that isn’t the case here. The Lumia 900 feels like it will survive a head-on impact with a train (it won’t before you ask). At the same time, it is the perfect weight to sit perfectly in the hand without any discomfort.

This robustness is a feature of all Lumias. It means they can handle anything daily life might throw at them without fear of falling apart, or bits falling off. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass for increased protection against what is easily the most common weak spot on modern smartphones. Despite this significant nod to longevity, the Lumia 900 is still impressively well catered for in terms of the standard of the components

I’ve Got You Under My Skin

Processor

First, the technical bits for us geeks out there. The Lumia 900 has a Snapdragon S2 processor to keep things zipping along perfectly. To add to it, it has as well a dedicated graphics chip for gaming and movies. On that subject, the 900 can playback just about any common audio or video file format.

Battery Power

The Nokia 900 will keep you up and on the go with up to 7hrs talk time or 300hrs standby from its 1830mAh battery.

Screen and Cameras – Nokia 900

We’ve already mentioned the Gorilla Glass protecting the display. There’s also Nokia’s patented Clear-Black display which means fewer reflections and much clearer visibility outdoors. On the subject of glass, the rear, 8MP camera utilizes Carl Zeiss optics. If you don’t know, Carl Zeiss is one of THE optical manufacturers. Their lenses are used in situations where absolute quality and clarity are required. The camera also has dual-LED flash, 720 HD video capture at 30fps, and geo-tagging built-in. The front camera is 1.3MP, more than enough for selfies or video chatting.

Data Connectivity

Connectivity-wise, this device is unlocked and therefore compatible with GSM networks in over 190 countries worldwide. It has, as well, 4G along with 3G fallback if you move out of a 4G connected area. There’s Bluetooth, Assisted GPS, and Wifi 802.11 b/g/n. Nokia has built-in a stereo radio system along with earphones acting as the aerial.

Size

All this comes in at a very respectable 5.03 x 2.70 x 0.45 inches and weighs in at just 5.24oz.

Oh You Pretty Thing – Nokia 900
