The Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One are the two latest handsets on the market, and are pretty much the best of what Android has to offer at this moment. Both have the latest in cell phone technology, although some of you believe that while the S4 has the edge in terms of speed, the One has the better build quality.

We’ve seen all sorts of comparison tests with these two handsets, such as benchmark, camera, battery and overall performance. However, we don’t think we have seen any reviews on video footage of the Galaxy S4 vs. S3, iPhone 5, HTC One, Nokia Lumia 920 and the Sony Xperia Z.

Most video capture reviews display them individually, which means you will find it hard to see the differences, as these smartphones shoot at different frame rates. However, by putting all the video footage of these handsets on one video side-by-side you get a better understanding of their diverse qualities.

The test was conducted by CNET UK, and you’ll see how he strapped all six handsets to a bendable metal rule and then went for a walk. It’s clear to see that the Lumia 920 stood out because of its optical image stabilization, which meant that video footage is much smoother. The 920 also had the most vivid colors, although in some cases it was too much.

The HTC performed pretty well, as did the iPhone 5, but you’ll notice in the video that the footage looked a little too dark, something I’ve noticed a lot with my iPhone 5. The Galaxy S4 is superb when it comes to taking still images, but shooting videos lets itself down because of how shaky it is.

Having said that, we have to wonder if the S4 image stabilization was turned, as it is switched off by default? Also it would have been a better test if a less flexible strip of metal was used, as the outside edges would have had more movement.

Are you happy with this test, or do you find it amateurish?

With the Nokia Lumia 928 just one day away for Verizon customers, we thought you would like more insight into the latest Windows Phone 8 devices, and if it is worth choosing this other one over the other Lumia models.

The best way for you to see if the new handset is for you is by going by a Nokia Lumia 928 review, but we thought we would give you more understanding by offering a triad of videos. You may already know the 928 will be a Verizon exclusive and will be available in black or white from May 16, which is tomorrow.

In the first video we get to view a Nokia Lumia 928 unboxing and review, and as you will see is essentially a thinner and lighter Lumia 920. The reviewer goes through all the basics just to give you an idea of what to expect, but if you are looking for one of those more exiting reviews, then this is not it.

Next we have another unboxing and Nokia Lumia 928 first impressions video review, and it’s clear to see that this handset is taking some design features from some of the latest phones on the market, so squared edges and polycarbonate backing.

The final Nokia Lumia 928 hands-on review is from Nokia themself, and while some of you will see this as a one-sided review, at least it is no nonsense and direct to the point. We’re told that Nokia worked very closely with Verizon in order to make the 928 a beautiful standout device, and looking at that screen, well it seems as though they both did their jobs right.

The Nokia Lumia 928 price is $99.99 on a two-year contract, but only after a $50 mail-in rebate.

Earlier this week we gave you an official release date for the Nokia Lumia 928, a Windows Phone 8 device that was on the way to Verizon Wireless. It appears that Nokia are on something of a rampage, as they will soon be releasing and announcing the Nokia Lumia 925 as well – a device that looks to have been built using aluminum materials.

For Nokia veterans, this is a pretty big deal as Nokia hasn’t released a phone with metal materials for quite some time. In fact, it could be the Nokia N8 that was the last notable device to utilize metal, so the Lumia 925 could end up being a very desirable device for consumers that like a bit of metal in their phone designs.

An image of the unannounced device in question has surfaced, courtesy of image leak specialists EVLeaks. They too appear to be on a roll as of late with their image reveals and we have the first alleged look at the Lumia 925 along with its suspected aluminum body.

On first glance, it basically looks like a Lumia 928 in a metal shell. Don’t forget though that the Lumia 928 is headed to Verizon, so the Lumia 925 could be a device that will have better availability options on the other major carriers in the US and throughout Europe.

We also have to say that the Lumia 925 looks significantly better without that Verizon branding splashed on the top as well like with the Lumia 928. Nokia will be having a big event over in London later on Tuesday, so expect the Lumia 925 to be unveiled in an official capacity very soon.

The question is: Are you interested in a metallic Lumia from Nokia, ahead of say the Galaxy S4 and the HTC One? We’ll be giving you more details on this handset soon.

Verizon customers may be waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S4 to arrive, but Nokia has decided to throw a spanner in the works by officially confirming a Verizon release date for the very impressive Lumia 928 smartphone. Even better, we can confirm that the device will now be available to buy on Big Red as early as this week, after a series of social video teasers.

If you have been keeping an eye on Nokia’s upcoming flagship, you would have seen the recent video capabilities that Nokia touted for their Lumia 928. The company attached the device to a remote control helicopter and proceeded to film the surrounding scenary with stunning results.

We loved that piece of creativity by Nokia and now we’re pleased to hear that availability information in the US has now been revealed by Nokia and Verizon. The device will go on sale on Thursday May 16, available for a very low price of just $99 on a two-year contract with Verizon, with a $50 mail-in rebate.

If you choose to pick up the device in store on Thursday, we can also confirm that Nokia and Verizon will be handing out $25 gift cards for the Windows Phone Store, with every Lumia 928 purchase – for a limited time only. If you prefer to pick up the device without contract though, Nokia has also confirmed that the full price will be $499.

As for specs, the Lumia 928 will feature a 4.5-inch 1280×768 OLED display, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 32GB built-in storage, 1GB of RAM, 2,000mAh battery and superior media capabilities thanks to a 8.7-megapixel PureView camera with Xenon and LED flashes, with 1080p video recording support.

Nokia has given a very useful video demonstration of the device, giving you an insight into the benefits of the display screen quality, which they have compared to an ‘infinity’ swimming pool. A new flagship from Nokia under $100 on contract is certainly an attractive proposition, but how many of you are still unsure about Windows Phone as an OS?

Let us know if you are tempted by this, or if you will wait for the Samsung Galaxy S4 instead.

If you are a fan of taking high quality videos on smartphones and are also a fan of Nokia devices, you may be very interested indeed in picking up the upcoming Nokia Lumia 928. The smartphone manufacturer has developed a reputation for providing stunning photo and video capabilities with their new Lumia range, and a new video of the Lumia 928 that we have to show you provides a great example of this.

Even better, the Nokia Lumia 928 is a device that is on the way to Verizon Wireless in 2013, providing a great alternative to the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and later on in the year, the inevitable iPhone 6 as well. For the time being though, Nokia are strictly sticking to teases only, so far refusing to reveal when the device will be available on Big Red.

We don’t mind though if they keep up the frequent teases. This latest one gives a specific look at the Optical Image Stabilization capabilities that the device has, hooking up the Nokia Lumia 928 to a remote control helicopter and proceeding to capture live video footage direct from the lens in British Columbia, Canada – as you do.

Top marks for creativity ideas, as the results are pretty stunning to say the least. There are obviously a few shaky moments, but overall – we would say that the video results are truly impressive. The phone is dangled from a moving helicopter let’s not forget here.

We’re also liking the design style for the Lumia 928 as shown in the image above. Take note of the interesting speaker design on the back case and the included 4G LTE logo from Verizon. The smartphone is definitely one to look out for in 2013, but let’s hope that the next tease includes some hardware specs for you to drool over.

Anyone interested in picking one of these up?

Nokia revealed the Lumia 720 at the same time as the Lumia 520, and while these share some hardware, there are differences, such as the camera. For a few years now Nokia has produced some superb cameras for their handsets, but is this enough?

The Lumia 720 is a mid-range handset, but we do fear that dressing these handsets up to look pretty and hide the aging hardware will come back to haunt them. Choosing a WP8 model is always a tough task, because they are very similar, but the rear-facing camera of the 720 helps to set it apart against most of the other Windows Phone 8 handsets.

We’ve already seen several reviews for the 720, but how about a Nokia Lumia 720 review that focuses on the camera and video quality? If not then we have found 3 such videos, one above and the other two below.

Firstly, there is an indoor sample video, which has been taken while viewing a toy, test card and a color chart. This is a perfect way to show how the Nokia Lumia 720 handles different colors, and the results are rather impressive.

In the second video you see the 720 taking some footage from a street, and while it does a decent enough job, it’s easy to see this is no high-end device.

The final video is just an unboxing of the Nokia Lumia 720, just to show you what you get in the box. Are you impressed with what the 720 has to offer, or do you think Nokia needs a rethink?

Taking a quick look at the Nokia Lumia 520 specs should be enough for most people to decide if the handset is right for them, which is made easier if you like the Nokia Lumia 620 design and internals. This isn’t always the case when you are trying to decide between a number of smartphones, especially if this decision involves the Nokia Lumia 520 vs. Lumia 620.

With these people in mind, we have tracked down a couple of comparisons putting the respected Nokia Lumia 620 against the Lumia 520. The first video review can be seen above this article and runs for just over 10 minutes.

They point out the Lumia 520 is cheapest Windows Phone 8 phone, although the Lumia 620 includes a better package and sits firmly as a mid range smartphone. You will see the full specs explained with a closer look at the design and a quick look at the OS on both devices.

Nokia Lumia 520 vs. Lumia 620 from another perspective – if the first video review doesn’t sit well with you, or you want a second opinion, then you should see the next video below this article. This video review also compares the Lumia 520 and Lumia 620, but does so in half the time from a UK review perspective.

The second review explains a lot of the similarities and points out that both the Nokia Lumia 520 and Lumia 620 are available at a price below £150 in the UK. There are differences in specs but the review clearly points out the extra cost for the Lumia 620 will boil down to a front facing camera and flash.

Did you think Nokia needed another budget Windows Phone in the shape of Lumia 520? Watch the review above and below this article, or here and here if you’re in our app, then share a comment.

While we have yet to see the Nokia Lumia 928 make an official appearance, that has not stopped several sources from revealing details of the upcoming Windows Phone. A few days ago an image was leaked that was said to be of the 928, and it seems as though this image is the real deal.

With this is mind a designer has gone ahead and designed a render of what he believes the Nokia Lumia 928 will look like based on that leaked image and uploaded it to Facebook, and it’s clear to see this representation maintains the feature parameters that we have come to expect from the flagship model.

If you ever wanted to know what it would be like if the Lumia 920 went to the gym and beefed itself up, the 928 would be it. Going back to the leaked image, all we could see were the front and rear face on, and only in black. However, you can never appreciate a Lumia handset without seeing them in those bold colors, which is why this render really helps to bring the 928 to life.

According to The Verge, Microsoft and Nokia are still testing the 928, although they are nearing the end of these tests. You can clearly see a few design changes to the exterior of the Lumia 928, but we are still disappointed with the rumored specs, as most of them are the same as the outgoing model.

Most people like us have said the 928 looks a lot like the 920, but the render also looks a lot like a square 820, would you agree?

We cannot see what all the fuss is about, because most of these phones look the same, but then the iPhone has been accused of this as well.

If we were to go back several years Nokia was the big player in the world of cell phones, but since the introduction of smartphones they have struggled to keep up with the new boys, along with some of the old players as well. However, when Nokia released the Lumia range and decided to back Windows Phone things started to look up.

However, with rumors that Microsoft plans to bring their own Surface Phone to market, this could be detrimental to the Lumia range. Microsoft is also in the same position because Apple and Samsung along with the Android platform as a whole has had a damaging effect on the Redmond company, which is why they are now rethinking their smartphone and tablet strategy.

The Surface Pro is not the best tablet on the market, but then again it is so much more than a tablet, which does make it a little easier to market because it’s different. On the other hand, a Surface Phone will be a tougher sell because what will make it different to the competition, and more so the Lumia range?

There is currently no signs that Microsoft is planning such a thing, but this is something that Nokia believes will happen, and according to this report the Windows Phone 8 developer could go the route of Apple and act independently.

We can see why they would want to do such a thing because they can have more control over their hardware and mobile OS integration, but this could come back to bite them because it seems like such a risky plan.

Like we said above this is just a rumor for now, but do you think a Surface Phone would be a good idea, and if so how would it affect Nokia’s Lumia range?

While the specific release date for the Nokia Lumia 620 in India has yet to be revealed, we can tell you that pre-orders have now started. This upcoming Windows 8 handsets was first seen in December and gave us a taste of what was to come, and as you would imagine has been getting a decent amount of response in the country.

One reason for this is because of the Nokia Lumia 620 price in India, as it is just Rs 14,999 thanks to a small 3 percent discount. While this may not sound like much of a saving, would you say no to paying Rs 200 less for the latest WP8 smartphone?

We’re told that this would make the Lumia 620 the most reasonably priced Windows Phone 8 handset in the country. Speaking of that discount, we’re uncertain if Nokia India will offer it to those who had pre-ordered before it was applied, so maybe you will need to contact them to see if they will honor that same saving for early orders as well.

The Lumia 620 is expected to do very well in India because of its youthful appeal and vibrant colors, which we know India love. While some people would say that this upcoming handset looks like a brick, we have to remember that not everyone is obsessed with having a phone as thin as an iPhone 5.

A list of those all-important Nokia Lumia 620 specifications can be seen here and while many of you will have your reservations in regards to its battery performance because it being a WP8 handset, you’ll see from a recent review that the results were very promising indeed.
