Nokia’s flagship phone has officially arrived in Philippine shores – the Nokia Lumia 920 and is now being sold at a surprising retail price of just under Php27k.
The phone has been announced and released last holiday season and has only been available for purchase in the Philippines through other shops and sources since then, but not through Nokia’s official store. We’ve seen it arrive lately through Nokia, but it wasn’t on sale still.

4.5-inch IPS LCD PureMotion HD+ display (768 x 1280, 332ppi)
1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon Krait CPU
Adreno 225 GPU
1GB RAM
32GB internal memory
8.7MP PureView camera

Windows Phone 8
2,000mAh, non-removable
Wireless Charging
130.3 x 70.8 x 10.7mm (dimensions)
185g (weight)
Well, wait no more because it is officially on sale through select Nokia stores. Nokia Philippines didn’t indicate how many were shipped, but they’re saying the stocks are limited. It will be available in white, black, red and yellow and will go around for Php26,990.

It’s practically too much for a phone that does less. You what’s great about android? Android can do things that other platforms cannot, basically the things that consumers/user needs and want – Android directly responds to it. People never wanted to feel limited, and that’s the way WP does. I know Lumia phones with WP OS looks good, simple, fast, classy, and sleek but that’s only a pinch of the preferences people have in choosing their right phone. I myself envy the metro style UI of WP that’s why i tried hard to turn my android phone look like WP based UI. Yes, android can do things like that, and that’s one why I chose android. :)
Katherina says:
I have really learned result-oriented things through
your site. One other thing I’d really like to say is always that newer computer system os’s
have a tendency to allow additional memory to get used, but they likewise demand more memory simply to run.
If an individual’s computer can not handle memory as well as the newest software package requires that memory space increase, it might be the time to buy a new Personal computer. Thanks

I am starting to love this 920 na nung binilhan ako ng papa ko sa labas. una medyo nanghinayang ako bat ito ung nabili niya.. pero sooner, mas ok pala to compare to my prev phone na android. saka pag sumsakay ako in public like sa bus/mrt, talagang napapatingin ung ibang tao kc napaka bright nga ng screen niya at cguro gawa rin na bago sa paningin nila itong WP8 na interface. medyo boring nga lang kc konting apps niya. for me, ang adroid pang entertaining talaga. pero when it comes to user-friendly na OS, straight and fluid, at walang kaarte-arte, WP8 is a winner (perhaps next to iOS)
Marvin says:
The 27k price is just right for this phone. Kung wala kayong pambili wag kayong magrereklamong mahal. Nokia has a wide range of lumia phones. If you cant afford the 920 then go 820 instead.
Ice says:
I’ve been using Lumia 920 since January, and I must say it is one fluid OS. Simple just like IOS, but for me it lacks the productivity and flexibility of android. Feature wise I still prefer android (S3 user here). If you are not a power user and not into games and apps but love to take pictures, this is a must have.Good camera, but not great. For me the OS is still “hilaw”. It lacks a file manager and you can’t even turn off the haptic feedback on the capacitive keys which is kind of annoying. Hope this helps to those who would like to buy this phone.
thecorrescode says:
No Windows Phone 8 for me. I used to own HTC Titan before. The interface is so boring, and unintuitive. Tapos buggy pa, especially yung Facebook Apps. Even the quality of apps sa store is worse compare to Android or Apple.
But what draws me away from Microsoft is the lack of commitment nila for update. So kaming mga windows phone 7.5 users, hanggang 7.8 na lang kami. Baka naman yung mga windows phone 8 users eh hanggang windows 8.5 din.
edisson says:
Galaxy Ace doesn’t have an os update. Maybe you’re talking about Ace 2?
thecorrescode says:
Point is may update pa rin. Even Samsung non flagship phone like Galaxy Ace gets updated. Eh sa mga Windows Phone, may assurance ba sila na updated sila. Like Windows 7.5 phones, naupdate ba sila sa Windows 8. Malamang yung current generation ng windows phone, di pede i-update.
braz says:
FYI not all android phone OS like GB pwedeng ma upgrade as ICS or to JB. Ung sinasabi mong SG2, syempre flagship phone yan ng Samsung kaya dapat lng sila mag update. at kumbaga regalo nlng yan. nakasalalay yan sa mga phone manufacturer. at hindi mo ba notice na kung mag upgrade ka halos marealize mo naging buggy/lags bigla ung phone? kasi nga kung mag update ng Oos gaya ng GB to JB, it requires higher specs as well like higher processor and RAM.
thecorrescode says:
IKR. Atleast sa Android most phone are updated to the next version. For example, ang Galaxy S2, updated from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich and now to Jellybean. Eh ang mga Windows Phone, pede ba i-update ang mga nasa version 7.5 to version 8. Hindi dba?
Mitee de la Cruz says:
This happens on every smartphone and on every OS… Not all android phone have jellybean and not all iphones have siri(example).
thecorrescode says:
Sabagay, ganyan din talaga gawain ni Microsoft maski sa developer community nila. Remember, despite online petition, eh puwersadong magmigrate sa VB.NET yung mga VB6 developers nila. Tapos nung nirelease naman nila yung .NET 2.0, ilang months after may .NET 3.x na agad. Ngayon, yung mga Windows mobile developer naman ang pinupuersa nilang magaral ng metroui…
rk says:
not interested!!! Nokia is old news… Microsoft is late… Apple is trendy… Android is practical… kaya sa Andoid na tayo… Mabuhay ang Google !!!
fotolocco says:
I was an Android user before. Pero I was never comfortable with it. Yes there are customizations but I don’t usually customize my phones a lot. I have better things to do. So nung nilabas nila ito, I was among the first one to buy dito sa amin. Until now,sobrang solb pa rin ako sa kanya. I don’t play lots of games sa phone ko. I have psp for gaming. Pero I love the fact na ang ganda ng camera nito. It can be a substitute for my bulky SLR’s pag di ko sila dala at merong moment na dapat icapture.
mang kanor says:
wp8 has no games and apps… Zzz…
Bongbong says:
Pipiliin mo ang BBZ10 over this 920? i got a friend na my BBZ10, sabi niya ang hirap daw inavigate. knowing techy xa at halos may Note pa nga at iPhone. tinry niya ang BB, hindi user friendly at magulo pa ang OS nya kc hindi pa ganun kamature ang BB sa smartphone.. plan ko nga rin bumili nun, eh nung nag search ako sa net, daming complaints nga sa BBz10.
edisson says:
@wp8zuck ANG TANGA MO PO!! with that price tag, why would I buy 920? yes I dream for 920 but seeing the price is so not worth it. sa mahal nang yan mas pipiliin ko pa ang z10.
wp8zuck says:
totoo walang magandang apps at games!! walang kwenta ang lumia 920 sa halagang 27k. Kung 17k sana pwede pero kung 27k? Mag BB Z10 na lang kayo.Mas maganda pa multimedia support nila.
Pero kung sulit tlga gusto mo dun ka sa android o iphone.
@edisson
buy ka muna ng lumia 920 for 27k tapos balik ka dito after 5 days, ewan ko lang kung tatalak talak ka pa din ungas ka
edisson says:
And what can you get from posting idiotic comments?
meh says:
You would have to be crazy to buy this for 27k, its so thick and just not worth it. Windows phone really lacks apps
Ren says:
Tama! 3rd world country din tayo, kaya dapat mas mura! Dapat maintindihan nila!
edisson says:
Agree. Dapat mas binabaan man lang nila yung presyo kasi ilang buwan na rin naman nung nirelease ng nokia ang lumia 920 eh.
jaize says:
I was waiting for this but I think it was indeed late.. Sobrang dami na lumabas na on par at better than this. If nokia want their OS to be tried, sana magbago pricing nila. Too expensive for the specs, btw.
Fred says:
kulang na lang ng popular apps like instagram, temple run 2 etc. :( if ever supported din nila ok na ok na windows phone :(
berting says:
ive been using android phones pero nung nka try ako ng windows phone.. hnd ko n nkikita srili ko n bumili ulit ng android.
Rye says:
Agree! Kulang lang naman sa Windows Phone eh apps at long list of features na gusto ng iba sa phone pero kung tutuusin “once a month” lang nagagamit. pero sobrang bilib ako sa bilis ng Windows Phones. layo talaga ng pinagka-iba sa performance ng android. Android user din ako at may iOS device pero iba parin ang WP.
chinitoguy30 says:
Just the right price…. Same price as the Samsung Galaxy S3… I want one!!
Tyron says:
Is there any news on when it will come out on Smart’s postpaid plans? Thanks.
john says:
this is a real good phone, win 8 os is also good, its just being used to it, or I say the learning curve is stiff for win 8, not the usual windows though.
allen83 says:
Yup kung gusto mo ng phone na tatagal nokia gamitn mo. Pero pag android phone ang gusto mo na tatagal sa iyo mag HTC ka na lang wag mag samsung.
Jess says:
kung gusto mo ng phone na tatagal sayo ng 2-3 years, then NOKIA is for you.
e71 says:
tama…may 4 year old e71 is still working very fine and my best companion abroad. laging maaasahan ang battery nya.
Greg says:
I love the design, so modern and clean. But I prefer a phone with a removable battery.
gilbert says:
Try nyo muna bago Kay mgsalita,I have Nokia Lumia 920 and worth it xa bakit ang s3 sobrang mahal ah,Ni wala nmn xa Sa kakyhan Ng 920,khit dual core LNG xa kya nyang tapatan ang mga quad core Ng Samsung at any iPhone na Yan,kung mgrereklamo LNG Kay wag kaung bumili problems nyo naun Hindi ang Nokia,God bless!
edisson says:
@wp8zuck hindi ka magsisisi kung naiintindihan mo ang windows phone. yes kaunti ang apps niya, yes lesser customization compared sa android. but if you had done research first before buying 920, you surely won’t buy it in the first place and if you still bought it despite of its lackings, dapat magtiis ka kasi may warnings na nga pero tinuloy mo pa rin ang pagbili.
marlon says:
I have to agree @wp8zuck. WP8 may be fluid but it isn’t as flexible as Android. I’m not talking about customizing its UI but on its multi-tasking capability, its limited app functionality, its contact management that can’t even recognize multiple mobile phone numbers and custom types, etc.
wp8zuck says:
i have lumia 920 too. wag mo lituhin ang mga potentianl buyers. this phone is pretty but more than that boring sya at not worth its price tag.
sa mga gusto bumili, mag galaxy note 2 na lang kayo. theres so much more things that you can do sa android apps and support kesa wp8. hilaw at limited. pag sisishan nyo ang lumia 920.
gilbert says:
@adrian oo alam ko os magkaiba nga cla pero depende na sau kung ano guto mong os,wag kaung mgreklamo sa 920 kung di pa niyo nsusubukan,kung ayaw di wag kaung bumili di kau pinipilit ng nokia,
Adrian says:
maraming dapat i consider to compare them phones, OS lang magkaiba na eh :)
edisson says:
tama
fr0stbyte says:
Three months late and it’s still that expensive? I would have considered such a price back in December but not now. You’ve already got phones that have in them the new Snapdragons 600s. Why the hell are you always late to the party Nokia?!
ThisIsLumia says:
I totally agree with you! I’ve been waiting everyday since it’s announcement in September. I really thought it’s price would drop since arrived late here. Better wait for a new phone in Nokia World in September… obviously it will arrive here in Feb 2014 too. lol
fotolocco says:
this phone was released in the country I am at last December. Until now mahirap pa rin makakuha ng stocks lalo na yung red at yellow at white. some friends waited 1 month. Pero it is all worth it.
paul e. says:
‘coz we’re a third world country. hindi tayo target market for nokia lumias. pang asha series lang tayo. ;)
Lorenz says:
Kung alam mo lang kung gaano kahirap makahanap ng stock nito nung una siyang lumabas sa US…
Apollo says:
Then I shall wait a little longer until the price is 20k – 23k :)
Uluvadu says:
At early 2013 this is innovative as a bar of soap. Kulamg na lang sabihin may stem cell or placenta sa loob nyan
thecorrescode says:
@seraphica, DROID BIONIC released in 2011 already has wireless charging. Even Google Nexus 4 supports wireless charging. You can even buy back cover for Galaxy S and S2 para magsupport ng wireless charging. So it is not innovative kasi age old technology na yan. Inintegrate lang ni Nokia.
edisson says:
No it’s not. Pureview 808 is the best camera phone but Lumia 920 beats it in low light.
marlon says:
It’s not the best phone when it comes to low light photography. You’re forgetting the 808 PureView exists.
ThisIsLumia says:
How about the great Low Light images it can produce because of the pureview technology? I’m pretty sure it’s the best phone when it comes to low light photography!
It also has a supersensitive screen. Even thought it’s not new, what other phone has that feature that you can use everyday?
Yes, image stabilization, wireless charging, and NFC may not be new pero it’s innovative kasi lahat ng features na ito ay nasa isang phone lang! If you’re complaining, bili ka ng 5 phone na may each features na yan!
It’s more innovative than anything!
marlon says:
Palm Pre (not an Android) supports wireless charging (Touchstone) so this isn’t an innovative feature.
Abed M. says:
Nasa LG maybe. LOL
seraphica says:
wireless charging sa android???
bkit wala un sa mga samsung, sony, or htc phones??? LOL XD
cywel says:
@thecorrescode Nokia 6131 was the first NFC phone! :P
Nexus S is just the first android phone with NFC
thecorrescode says:
Hindi talaga siya innovative.
NFC – Nexus S which was released 2010 may NFC na.
Wireless charging – Matagal na ‘to sa Android. Search mo na lang sa youtube kung anong mga Android phones may capability na nito.
Image stabilization – Matagal na rin yan sa mga Android phones. Notorious diyan ang Sony
Lorenz says:
You mean hindi considered “innovative” ang 8MP PureView camera niya na may optical image stabilization? How about NFC? And Qi wirelesss charging? None of these of which are available on the iPhone 5.
Ingat-ingat sa pagsasalita :3
allen83 says:
Yup promo nila ng cash is 27k but for a credit card the difference is big it will cost you about 31k. I just ask it today at nokia sm north edsa
Lex says:
Its expensive for its dual core, 1 gb ram.
Everard says:
Nokia Lumia 920 only has a dual-core processor and a 1GB of RAM simply because its more than enough to run a Windows 8 OS with excellent performance.
It is only reasonable to compare smartphones based on their hardware specs only when they are running the same OS.
thecorrescode says:
Pathetic. Article from 2011 pa yan. Google released Jellybean way back May 2011 at kasama dun yung tinatawag na Project Butter. Masyado ka sigurong bitter kasi successful ang Android compare sa Windows Phone na ayaw ng mga tao.

marlon says:
@ThisIsLumia Oh please. I used to own a Samsung Focus and now have a Lumia 820 and a Galaxy S3 so let’s not use the “you don’t own-a WP phone” argument here. WP7/WP8 makes better use of visual cues when it loads something up which makes it look fast. You don’t notice the loading time because of this. Also, the UI doesn’t look that busy with just a minimal set of elements like text that can be easily scaled up and doesn’t use much processing.
If you read my previous comment carefully, this is the point I’m trying to make.
ThisIsLumia says:
@marlon How slow it goes? Please, I have a lumia 920 and it performs better than my note 2. at least lag-wise. I bet you don’t even own a windows phone.
thecorrescode says:
Android is not java, but dalvik. Sana manlang nagresearch bago nagpost.
Name:Koken says:
Android is java based which means a heavier OS. Compared to Windows 8 which is stable and can optimized the whole core.
Gabb says:
I gotta agree. There’s something about the android software that needs ‘faster’ (i.e. quadcore) processors so that it won’t lag. Whereas Windows phone is able to make their software that can require a ‘lower’ kind of processor without any/few lags
P.S
I’m not a windows phone fan but it’s just something i noticed based from experience
Jay says:
I have a Lumia 800, a single-core device and I’m not complaining about lag. Because when I see my friend’s dual-core Android, mine is still faster than his.
marlon says:
@ThisIsLumia It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that a phone that mostly displays oversized text like WP8 performs better than one that can do a lot of stuff. Once you get past the loading animations, you’ll know how slow it does things.
di says:
So you mean that only Apple can have an overpriced product?
Jon says:
Iba naman ang iphone eh! Yung nokia pababa na, mahal pa rin ng presyo
ThisIsLumia says:
Just like the Iphone 5 (which is more expensive). Believe it or not, the dual cores on these phones can match up with note 2’s quad-core.
Quality phones don’t need quad cores to stop lag; they can do it with dual only. Plus this phone has so many features that it must be more expensive (at least for me)
johnonline says:
new android phones from htc, lg and sony are way better and more exciting…padating na rin yung sa samsung…sana inagahan ng nokia yung release..no wonder mababa price niya..
