well bloody hell, I always thought that 925 will be better since it has the 7th lens element and making picture more sharp. The first example showed it has a rather aggressive noise cancelling going on or jpeg compression.

hina on 920 has a bit oversharpening as mentioned by the article which could be the result of trying to match the sharpness on 925 since 925 already has an extra lens element. Maybe?

OR, perhaps there should be a post-amber update for 925?

Double tap works for me all the time on 920, wonderful feature!

not sure the repost was intentional but weirdguy posted this before

Today I put my wallet and 920 on top and my phone reacted, it felt weird at first when the phone tried to "interact" with the wallet as it tries to "beam" something. Turns out it was my IC. Try it.

There's an app called Photobeamer from Nokia on GDR2 update.

1. Ask your Android friends to access www.photobeamer.com (it will generate a QR code on the screen)
2. Launch the app on your phone and select the photo you want to share
3. After selecting, the app will launch the camera and prompt for a QR code
4. Point it at your friend's screen on step 1.
5. Photo will magically appear on your friend's screen
6. Scrolling through photos on your device changes his view also.

- Requires data or wifi to work.
+ NFC photo sharing works on all WP8 devices ONLY.
+ NFC = Touch N' Go. (My IC has TnG)

Side note, guys please do consider getting a NFC ring! Chances that we might be wearing a NFC ring for:
1. Unluck your door (if you have a NFC enabled door)
2. Unlock your phone
3. Share contact (fist bump!)
4. Program it yourself (enable wifi, open all the lights in your house or open your favorite playlist)

You can always download the Nokia NFC Writer to see more ideas and even our neighbour (SG) started to adapt the idea of NFC Wallet.

vice versa lor, Android on Android. WP on WP. Fair enough?

w00t! NOKIA MALAYSIA +920!

Last night my phone felt off the table while I was sleeping and this news is quite old so here's why:

entah lah

They will launch the update wave by wave so perhaps a few more days or hours?

there is no aperture settings for pro cam, you can only use the manual focus to do some bokeh magic.

As for the photo review, I gotta say the instant preview was really cantek until you clicked the review button it turns out all grainy and smudged. It could be the software over did the noise cancelling and jpeg compression or it could be just a bug thing on the preview.

it still inherits the auto white balance bug ler.

And your exposure value will determine the overall scene so if you set your exposure value to 0 and shooting in a low light situation, your camera app will decide the iso to 3200 which will end up plastic look.

So for now, those of you who loves auto mode best stick with the default cam since it does proper white balance and exposure.
The clock was suppose to jump up and down mah.

Yes, same here don't let the battery indicator fool you.

This morning the battery indicates 90% use judging from the top bar but once enter the battery menu, it shows only 77% but then when I plug the cable in, the bar jumps to 70% on the top.

Some photos yesterday!

meanwhile testing the Nokia pro cam video capability, just a short one. Ants are moving their nest because atmosphere is chaning - raining soon.


Few things to note when recording these kind of video, set focus to manual and white balance too, make sure you have preset everything because the app will auto adjust and focus haunting during the record.

Such a shame it can't do manual focus during record.

Thanks and thanks again!

hahaha, even the "find my phone" seems to be bit slow and I will only get where my phone is located when I sleep (I requested to locate my phone in the afternoon)

nice weh, siap with color grading some more.

New ad from 925.

and anyone tried using banana to scroll 920?

meow meow meow meow

Maybe the app thinks that the light should be enough so there's no need to open the flash?

It's a spoof you see, from the movie 127 hours.

If you get muddy/plastic shots, please try switching your ISO to 1600 and below, don't even think of trying 3200 because such small sensor will be prone to lots of noise and the way Nokia handles noises are similar to Apple which is smudge it (noise cancelling).

Rounded pinkish has been a selling point for Lumia phones, early days of Lumia 800 also has this 'feature'.
