--- title: Nokia Lumia 900 date: 2012-01-11 15:10:54 permalink: https://lesterchan.net/blog/2012/01/11/nokia-lumia-900/ author: Lester Chan categories: - Mobile Phone tags: - "900" - LTE - Lumia - Nokia --- [Nokia Lumia 900](http://conversations.nokia.com/2012/01/09/nokia-lumia-900-born-for-the-usa/) was announced at [CES 2012](http://www.cesweb.org/) but unfortunately at this point of time, it is only available exclusively for AT&T at launch time. I am pretty sure it will be in other countries as well. For Singapore, maybe [SingTel will bring them in with their LTE service](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2011/12/21/singtels-broadband-on-mobile-prestige-75/)? Now, if only Nokia included in NFC to the Lumia 900 and it would be perfect! ![Nokia Lumia 900](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7161/6673784039_e0c6f9848a_z.jpg) ## What Has Changed? The design is almost the same as the [Nokia Lumia 800](http://www.nokia.com/sg-en/products/phone/lumia800) except it has a bigger screen 4.3″ vs 3.7″ while maintaining the same resolution of 800×480. The processor speed is the same at 1.4GHz, but the Nokia Lumia 900 uses a newer Snapdragon S2 processor, which I think should give it some performance boost over the Nokia Lumia 800. When it comes to the camera, the back camera remains the same while a 1MP front-facing camera has been added. The gyroscope has been added to the Nokia Lumia 900 which was missing in the Nokia Lumia 800. According to [My Nokia Blog](http://mynokiablog.com/2012/01/10/nokia-lumia-900-vs-nokia-lumia-800-whats-changed/), the SIM tray design has been changed as well, now it requires a SIM Door Key (as what Nokia calls it, similar to iPhone’s SIM Tray Eject Pin) to open the SIM tray. Because of this change, the micro-USB port is now exposed. The battery capacity has also been increased from 1,450mAh of the Nokia Lumia 800 to 1,830mAh of the Nokia Lumia 900.
