Nokia reveals the Lumia 920, with Windows Phone 8 and PureView camera

Nokia has revealed the Lumia 920, complete with Windows Phone 8 and PureView camera technology, at a special event in New York.

Nokia has announced the Lumia 920, its first Windows Phone 8 smartphones, and the second set to be revealed following the Samsung Ativ S last week.

CEO Stephen Elop took to the stage at 10am, blissfully unaware that the livestream webcast had broken, and talked about Windows Phone. He said Nokia shared a vision with Microsoft, and that together they would create “a new smartphone experience,” and something “very unique in the market.”

With several Lumia devices already on sale, he introduced Jo Harlow to tell us all about the latest additions to the family — first, the Lumia 920.

The Lumia 920 was described as the “most innovative smartphone in the world,” and boasts a camera with PureView technology, just like the Symbian-based PureView 808. It also uses Nokia’s City Lens to provide an improved mapping experience and built-in wireless charging.

Nokia’s event is ongoing, and more details will be added as they come through.
