The 9.9mm thick Nokia Lumia 820 is a mid-range phone
But it’s no lightweight
At 160g
It’s almost as chunky as its bigger brother. But unlike the 920 though
That heft works
The curved edges make it comfortable to hold
And the bright coloured back is easy on the eye. It sits flush with the screen
But it actually prises off
Letting you insert a micro SD card of up to 64GB in size.In fact

Thick and heavy
Screen isn't very impressive
Below par battery life

Weight
Screen definition
Disappointing camera
High SAR level
Poor internal storage
Limited battery life
Windows apps lacking
Impossible to remove the casing
The display on the Nokia Lumia 820 isn’t all sunshine and lollipops and outdoor visibility
The 800x480 resolution is pretty low
And while colours pop
Text looks grainy
Something the HD Lumia 920 doesn’t suffer from. The camera too
Isn’t the same epic PureView sensor as on the Lumia 920
Just a run-of-the-mill eight megapixel job which turns out flat and lifeless results.But it’s Windows Phon
Windows Phone 8 under developed Mediocre camera Average screen resolution Heavy

AT&T's Nokia Lumia 820 offers Windows Phone 8, 4G LTE, and a terrifically low subsidized price
This Lumia is heavy, a little slippery, and has a short battery life. Data speeds were variable

Abstract: The Lumia 920 is hogging the smartphone spotlight right now. Telstra — the 920's exclusive carrier — sold out of device pre-orders and now people are scrounging to find one before launch day. Look a little to either side of the 920's hype, though, and you...
More grip-and-pocket-friendly form factor, easy to use, eye-catching mobile platform, expandable storage is offered, battery is removable, and exchangeable back covers to bring personalisable look to the phone

Wireless charging, Suitable for one hand use, Good battery life, Speedy performance, Colorful live tiles
Low resolution screen, Bit heavy, Back panel is a big pain to remove, Average camera

We dont seem to think there was anything wrong with its phone except for its weight and the front VGA camera. The overall experience is quiet cool and one will enjoy it thoroughly in terms of multimedia and the WP8 OS. If you dont like the fact it is not ...
