features advanced floating lens technology, dubbed ‘optical image
stabilization’ which helps eliminate blur by compensating for hand movement
while photos or videos are being shot. The camera in Nokia Lumia 920 can take
in five times more light than typical smartphones to capture top quality photos
and videos in low light.
In addition to its 2000mAh

to get more out of every day. For a limited time and while supplies last,
AT&T will also include a wireless charging plate – free of charge – with
each purchase of a Lumia 920.
The Lumia 920’s 4.5-inch
PureMotion HD+ ClearBlack display is protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass and
is optimized for readability in the brightest light conditions, even outdoors
on a bright day. In addition to its durable, scratch-resistant, curved display,
the Lumia 920 also has a new sensitive touchscreen that lets you type with
fingernails or while wearing gloves.
Available in red, white, black,
