Lumia 920 or iPhone 5, which one to buy?

The Lumia 920 has been highly praised by users since its debut, and Nokia is of course well aware of this. Riding on this trend, Nokia UK earlier today released another comparison chart pitting the Lumia 920 against the iPhone 5.

Since this comparison comes directly from Nokia, the results are naturally predictable: the Lumia 920 outperforms the iPhone 5 in many aspects. For instance, the iPhone 5 lacks wireless charging, its built-in maps are not as powerful, its headphones are too basic, and both its camera functions and photo quality do not match up to the PureView technology-equipped camera on the Lumia 920.

Moreover, in Nokia's view, the design of the iPhone 5 offers no innovation—it’s essentially just a stretched version of the iPhone 4S. In contrast, the Lumia 920 not only boasts a compelling design but also comes in a variety of colors for users to choose from, unlike the monotonous black and white options of the iPhone 5.

This isn't the first time Nokia has released a comparison chart between the Lumia 920 and the iPhone 5. Without a doubt, they don't want users to buy the iPhone 5 and believe their own product is sufficiently excellent. Ultimately, the most pressing task for Nokia right now should be to announce the exact price and launch date of the Lumia 920. If they keep dragging their feet, the consequences will be clear.
