Is Nokia's (NYSE: NOK) upcoming Lumia 920 better than Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) iPhone 5?
Yes. As far as Nokia is concerned, anyway.
CNET points out a Facebook posting by Nokia today, which is an "unbiased" infographic comparing and contrasting the Lumia 920 to Apple's iPhone 5. (You can click here for the graphic.)
Nokia points out that the Lumia 920s camera is 8.7-megapixels (MP) with SmartView technology, compared with Apple's frumpy, shawl-wearing 8-MP offering. You can get panorama shots on both, but will the iPhone 5 offer Optical Image stabilization or the best low-light performance in the smartphone category? No, but the Lumia does.
Next, you have to view the photos. For that, Nokia equipped the Lumia 920 with a PureMotion HD+ display, boasting 1280 x 768 pixels. Apple? Merely Retina Display with 1186 x 640 pixels. You can hardly make out an eagle soaring through the mountains from a click-and-a-half with that sort of display.
Both screens are sensitive, with Nokia's being super sensitive touch, allowing users to touch with gloves on or via the tip of a pen.
It goes on about design and wireless charging. No where does it mention the Windows 8 ecosystem (er, developing ecosystem) on it, though that's already implied. Another item Nokia forgot to include is that Apple's iPhone 5 is on sale today, while Nokia's Lumia 920...isn't.
But it will be before the end of the year. Shares of Apple are higher on the session while Nokia is about 4 percent lower.
