First of all i am sorry, i think i did not post it in the right place...but then again i couldn’t find any better place...
Well topic tells it all i am really confused between the two phones which one should i get...
Price of both phones is the max my wallet will allow me to go for
In India Nokia Lumia 710 is available for 18k~350USD
And as Samsung reduced the galaxy r price its around 20k~390USD
What i do with a phone is
1) Text a lot...i mean seriously a lot
2) Would like to play good quality H.D games
3) Decent camera....this is fulfilled by both of them so no issue here
4) A nice screen though Lumia 710 has a bit smaller than galaxy r but then that compromise i can make
What’s confusing me is that
with Nokia Lumia 710 i get a very nice ui and i personally like its interface very much one of the main reason for going for this phone and then the sns and single inbox thing just appeals me.... though am not sure how well it handle H.D games and i know there is no front facing camera but i think i will hardly miss it cause not once i have made a video call
what appealed me in Samsung galaxy r is the dual core 1 ghz cpu...with NVidia tegra2 and the big screen size that’s the only thing that i like about it rather am not sure if i should go for Samsung or not my past experience with Samsung were not so good....also i personally (remember this just my opinion) hate the android ui as such and specially with the touch wiz of Samsung’s....even as an OS i don’t know why but it feels kinda cheap
Had there a phone in same price with spec as of galaxy r with mango as OS there would have been no doubt for me
So what i wanna know will Lumia 710 compete with performance of dual core cpu of galaxy r???
In H.D gaming and all that
Any help will be greatly be appreciated
p.s will Lumia 710 be eligible for updates like Apollo or winpho 8....too soon to ask but still....
Sliding about the OS, the Lumia will be faster than the Galaxy R, but as you mention gaming, the Galaxy R will be a better choice, it's raw power will come through there, and there are a lot more games for Android than there are for WP.
For what it's worth, Android has a combined inbox as well.
thank you for your reply by "sliding about OS" you meant browsing through menus right???
well i am not particularly concerned about the number of games currently present.....windows phone is rather a new platform lets give it time and am sure it will get atleast all the big titles in future...
now seriously considering galaxy r....thanks again
Yeah pretty much, and web browsing, it's fast at that too.
well as i read through the reviews by different source all say lumia or windows phone par se is optmized enough for all tasks and i heard browsing is pretty good in both of them aint it??

I purchased the 710 here in the USA on Thursday. It is not my primary phone. I bought it for 1 reason. I've never had a nokia before, and I saw the 900 at CES.
With that said, the 710 is a solid little phone. Battery life has been good. Browsing is fast. Windows phone is easy to get used to. Apps are easy to download. I've spent the last 7 months with various android phones...key here is the word various. Too many phones, too many versions of the os, too many bugs, too many excuses. Windows phone hardware is catching up. The os is already on track.
For me the 710 was very cheap, 19 USD. I would have paid the full price.
Right now I'm on my 2nd Galaxy Nexus (Samsung replaced my 1st one after much messing, it popped n died)
And while I like its vanilla ICS, I'm having big issues over usability due to nothing more than its screen size of 4.65"
On my old HTC Incredible S 4" I could "dance" with my thumb and get around the OS very very quickly.
Every time I stop by a cellphone store and play with the Lumia 800 it fits perfect and I get that "dance" feeling with the ways its in my hand and the speed I can get around the OS.
I'm liking WMP 7.5 a lot.
The sticking point.
Where I live there is no broadband, so I have the true "all you can eat" data plan from "three" that included tethering.
I also have line of sight of just over 100 yards to a celltower I know is "three" and can hit 8mbps average and sometimes hit 11mbps.
Am I being foolish on planning on getting a Lumia 800 with the WiFi tether when the updates is fullt rolled out and selling the GN?
You've got to get the phone that turns you on. Once tethering is available on the Lumia... if you're still madly in love with it and can accept its shortcomings.... then go with what you love.
I have to admit that most of the phones I've ever bought have been for their design aesthetic over their function or specs.
You're also asking this question in a forum where 95% of people here use the Lumia 800, so you are going to get a pretty biased answer. I can already tell you most people will say get the Lumia.
Get the phone that suits you. If you do enjoy Windows Phone and the Lumia 800 hardware, I see no reason not to get the phone unless there is something you need on the GN/Android that Windows Phone can't accomplish for you at the moment.
Probably better to answer the question in a general forum rather than one specific to a device, but even there, you'll probably start a nice little flame war from both sides saying the other one sucks. XD
I've had iPhone 3G, HTC HD7, Galaxy S and now the Lumia in the last 2 years.
You're completely right about screen size. This must vary with the size of a persons hands but for me the maximum screen size that doesn't have usability issues is 4in like the Galaxy S.
The HD7 at 4.3in caused me the same issues as you've found.
I've had a play with the Galaxy Nexus and it's a very nice piece of kit but after using the Lumia it's clear to see that the lags are still there even on a flagship phone. The Lumia is really slick and fast. I can see why you like it. I liked it so much I ditched my Galaxy S which was running ICS.
It's the best phone I've had since my iPhone. And for my money it's a nicer piece of hardware than the current iPhone design. The OS is great too, apart from a few areas where it's lacking.
The downsides are the current issues with battery life and audio quality. You're putting trust in Nokia to sort these out with software updates. Battery life in particular is a real worry, I expect to charge every day but it's struggling to get through the day which means I don't use it as much as I'd like to.
It's not foolish to get something that will (might?) work better for you. The GN is much more powerful, but if it's too big for you to use comfortably, there is not a lot you can do.
I'm a cheap whore myself and I flop between WP/ICS/MeeGo and iOS on a daily basis. The Lumia is spectacular hardware and Mango is a fantastic OS. Grab one and play with both, each has it's own set of strengths and weaknesses.
yeah, borrowing one is the hard part.

Ask the shop if you can test one out for a day?
they tend not to allow that
as we all know 5 minutes of fiddling in a shop is not enough
24 hours would be and ideal test.
more research required.
I've got the lumia and the GN. The form factor and build quality of the Nokia are excellent, and the interface is really smooth and a joy to use, but ...and it's a big but for me .....it desperately needs more apps. I'm not going give up on the lumia just yet, but there is no way I'd ditch my GN, or android, for the lumia at the moment.

God i love this phone too, i used to think i might be a Android fun for a long time but i just realist that Windows Phone is good too, and the speed of Lumia 800 is really amazing.
Still no tethering
Hi all,
I agree with the previous posts. The Lumia 800 is brilliant. Smooth as silk, and quick. Software updates seem to have fixed my battery and wifi issues.
But we are now almost in March - and still no tethering, and nokia Austria says there never will be on the Lumia 800.
So you do have to factor that into your decision.
Well thats a "no" then
Silly decision
I think it is not silly.
I will quit android in the next few days (from nexus also)
Because of the apps factor, I tried to do the following:
Start to use only apps of my android (more than 200) that are in the WP market also. And I realized that I have everything I need for my work in motion.
The apps that are only in android but I want them are: skype, viber, dropbox, box.
I am sure they will be able soon, but anyway, WP has SkyDrive.
Instead most of the android apps we need just good browser.
I am sure the real software will be written for WP... soon I hope.
No Tether = no go as my tether is my broadband.

There's another post where someone said that another branch of Nokia has said that tethering will come in 2012.
So clearly, there has been no official stance on whether tethering will or won't be added to the phone, but I see no reason why it can't be added due to the phone's internals.
Nokia just needs to turn it on.
Hallo guys!
I could use your advise. One of my friends is interested in buying a new phone and she likes the Nokia Lumia 800. Problem is i know 2 people who have this phone and both of them have issues regarding the phone's call quality. One of them has a problem when using the hands-free, as he cant hear well enough the person who's talking to him. The other has a more serious problem. When he talks with someone, the other person hears him funny, like he's in some tunnel or something. Terrible quality. He's taken the phone to Nokia Service 2 times and they said it was fine but the problem never went away... Is this a common problem?? Because she talks a lot on her phone, and if this is a common problem she should look for an other phone to buy.
Thanks in advance for your help....
call quality?
I have the nokia lumia 800 for a week, nothing to say, enviable ...

Is the new Sony Xperia P a better choice?? Or should i stick to the Lumia 800 what do you think??
Hi. Xperia P better choise in all way if you want android but if you want good WP7 buy HTC first gen. I have nokia Lumia 800 with DLOAD bootloader and it sucks. I cant flash custom ROMS and with stock ROM Lumia is useless phone. First of all stock Lumia dont have many good things like BT transfer, File manager or music equalizer, photos bad quality, music plays very low volume, battery drain fast. One thing is good on the Lumia is the screen and thats it. I will sold my Lumia for ~230EU and buy HTC 1st generation for about 150EU. 1st gen HTC phones can be easily unlock and flash custom ROM even Nokia Edition with all good Nokia stuff and with equalizer, with BT transfer, file manager and other good things.

From the sound of the question I don't think this person is looking to flash roms every 5 mins. The battery drain issue has been fixed for months now. I would say that for the prices you can get it now its a bargain.
The screen just rocks
free sat nav
exclusive apps
great camera features like group shot and action shot just rock
its a great size and solid build
its really fast
and so on
you said you know 2 people with it already so I don't need to go on about that only to say that my call quality rocks. Sometime though mine freezes and I need to lock and unlock the screen but I think that's more how I treat it (very rough and I have 4 kids under 5 and under) as it only started doing it recently.
I would sum it up like this - If you want a high end phone and use it enough to need a contract over £20 a month then wait for windows phone 8, if you however want a great phone at an amazing price (i have seen it free on a £15 a month contract inc data) then you wont go wrong. There is simply nothing in its price bracket that will come close to it. You will get a hop end phone at feature phone prices and unlike android you wont end up with something that is underpowered to run the os.

Nokia Lumia 800 without custom ROM is peace of sh*t. You dont get big part of amazing features. For the baterry I dont know what do you mean "The battery drain issue has been fixed for months now" - lie because battery drain very fast.
Lets talk about SQ, DAC and anything related to thread title here:
Nokia is known to produce good sounding mobiles even in the old days... Since 920 bares same chipset that of HTC One-S (which is good enough), i expect 920 to be good also...

The WP8 Lumia's will have a EQ with customizable settings!

The DAC will be good my sister has the One S and it does sound good better than my One X so can only imagine with dolby and EQ this will sound just as awesome.
I just love the free music streaming I'm a music lover and that will be a pretty nifty service.
The more I look at WP8 the more I want one!

No good DAC, no sale.
Dunno if anyone has seen the 920 in person, although it is probably hard to judge this anyway on the showfloor. This has always been a priority on a top-rate handset for me: Speaker quality. I've been generally disappointed with smartphone speakers in general compared to my older candybar and even slider phones, since modern smartphones are so thin. Nokia is known for great speakers in their phones, at least back when I still followed Nokia a good 4-5 years ago, and their stereo speakers were little boomboxes. How good do you think the Lumia 920 will be in this area? Can anyone with a Lumia 900 or 800 comment? The best smartphone I've heard so far in the modern smartphone era has been the Galaxy Note. It has a great full sound and bass, for a phone that is. The smaller Samsung phones are quite far behind their big brother. The HTC One X was okay but I heard the older models had terrible speakers.
On another note, my closed thread is near the top of the page. Either xda is a terrible place to gauge windows phone and nokia activity or there is something seriously wrong with the buzz surrounding this phone, which all the blogs and tech sites would have you believe otherwise.
I dont think you can base the fact the one s has good audio down to the DAC in the dual core snapdragon S4 because quite frankly the sony xperia T sucks plain and simply it is horrid low volume and no bass.
Also I really wish nokia went android as I would have snapped this phone up have always loved nokia phones and their cameras/video and sound quality and battery life not to mention the the great multi tasking.
A note to all...
I see some troubling comments in this thread, but rather than address them directly, I'm just going to leave all of you with some thoughts to consider...
1) Moderators here do their best to serve the interests of all members as a group, we do not single anyone out to make things difficult for them.
2) If you have a problem with a moderating decision, send a PM to the moderator(s) explaining your views and thoughts. Griping about it publicly in a post is not going to solve anything and makes the situation worse.
3) All discussions on XDA, in both posts and PMs, are to take place in a respectful manner. No personal attacks are allowed. I see some language here that can be considered violations, but I'll allow some time for the members to edit their own posts before I do it myself.
4) Any member who sees a questionable post is encouraged to use the "Report Post" button available at the top of every post to bring it to a moderator's attention.
The traffic in this forum is still relatively light, but that will undoubtedly change as the release date nears. Let's keep the discussions on topic.

Being a big fan of the sound on my Nokia N9 and iPhone (4/4s/5), the sound on the Lumia 920 is easily on-par.. I'm paring them with Shure SE535's ..
For those curious, I'm NOT a fan of the sound of the HTC One X or Lumia 800..
I'm a happy camper as I was ultra concerned about this.. Nokia did it right with the 920 on the audio quality front.. :good:

Agreed the sound quality on the 800 really isn't great despite the update the pushed out a while back. My N9 is way better so it's good to know the 920 is on par.
I still dont understand how the N9 takes better pictures and video despite having the same sensor as the 800. A lot of this stuff comes down to software so atleast nokia didnt screw that one up.
Anyone seen any hard stats on audio quality? Places I normally see them have not reviewed 920 yet.
hi
iam rly confused between those 2 phones
any1 tried them both? tell me ur opinion plz
thanks
I have both. I decided to get the Note 8.0 and stick with the 920 as my daily driver. There are things I love about both wp8 and the samsung note series. This allows me to have both.
If I had to choose, I would still likely choose the 920. Overall it is just a better device IMO. Of course, if apps a a serious requirement for you, android obviously still has more selections. I just find windows phone has the best UI. There was a exclusive Halo app announced today for Windows Phone 8 and RT though.

can u tell me more about why u say lumia 920 better? is its screen big enough or small?as i will use it for reading e-books and surfingh the internet..is the fnt readable? and writing alot...iam not intensive gamer so it doesnt matter...........thanks in advance
The screen on the Lumia is large enough for me. The Note II screen is obviously larger but I believe the PPI is higher on the Lumia. The Lumia is the best in direct sunlight for sure, if that is a consideration.
I think if reading is your biggest concern, the note II is larger but the Lumia is sharper. Also, obviously the Lumia is more pocket friendly.
There are so many considerations that it is impossible to recommend either 100%. I have no bias toward either Android or WP8. To me, pick the best tool for the job.
Sent from my Lumia 920 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I'm not sure I would like to read eBooks on either one of them - I think both screens are too small for that use case but that of course is just my personal opinion. For surfing the internet and reading articles I never had any issues with the screen size of my 920. I prefer the 920 over my Ativ S (basically an SGS3 with WP8) for reading because the PenTile display in the Ativ S makes white backgrounds look grainier/dirtier than the RGB LCD in the 920. Of course the Note 2 has an RGB AMOLED so this might not be an issue there (never did a side by side comparison).
Battery life seems to be better on the Note 2 though - at least in standby.
What are your other requirements? Would you use the stylus on the note for drawings or writing notes? Are you into photography so that the superior camera in the 920 would be of benefit to you? Nokia has true offline navigation capability if you are traveling a lot abroad but Google Maps on the Note II has a better POI database according to many.
While i only have tried Galaxy s3, note 2, and various other "modern" android Devices only for a short time, i prefer the lumia 920.
Androids play store is a bit bigger, but that is no real problem, as wp is coming along nicely.
In daily use, you will notice that android is really lagging, and also that apps is crashing.
This is not something I have experienced with my Lumia 920.
Furthermore, Nokia provides here maps and here drive+.
These programs gives you offline maps and turn by turn navigation for most of the world.
Another advantage with wp8 is skydrive.
The phone uploads all my pictures and videos to skydrive, and on my computer and tablets, which all is running windows 8 and windows rt,
The pictures appear instantly.

I have both as well.
Note2: +: Big screen, sd card, removable battery, tons of software in android, highly customizable interface, rootable and customs roms
-: a bit unwieldy, tough to see in sunlight, looks kind of cheap, no camera button
Lumia 920: +: Premium feel and design, smaller screen if you want that, don't need to mess around with settings much, simpler interface, better camera
-: Limited software, heavy for some, no sd card, no removable battery, camera button, all buttons on right
Do you want it as primarily a phone or as a phablet is the question.
I'm finding the limitations of wp8 becoming increasingly annoying. You may want to consider the galaxy s4 and the htc one which are closer in size to the 920.

I bought my wife the HTC One (M7) and I don't regret it being her 1st Android device...it runs flawless and the display is the best I've ever seen on any device and her being in the medical profession Android's apps in her field made sense. As for me, I don't play games and I am a full-time college student and Windows Phone does exactly what I need it to do and despite it's limitations there isn't a 3rd party or Homebrew app that did a lesser job than the branded apps. We have T-Mobile where our kids live and barely an AT&T signal and where we live right out no T-Mobile whatsoever and Straight Talk (AT&T) HSPA+ in a place I thought we'd never get it, so VoIP is important which is my one pet peeve with WP. Skype gets it done but it just pisses me off that the brain trust at Microsoft failed and betrayed those who grew up with Windows Mobile through the WP7.x upgrade and left us in the cold with only a Start Menu and dead development today. It's easier said than done to buy a new smart phone every year.
Over the last years, I usually have bought 3-4 smartphones each year, one iPhone back in 2009, and after that, several android phones.
My first android phone was the htc desire, a phone with 150 Mb internal memory.
I regret ever buying it. I also had a lg optimus 3d, a phone with several nice features, but it still had that poor operating system called android.
So, eventually I got the Lumia 900, a wp 7-phone. I really got to enjoy wp, so now I have the Lumia 920. This phone is simply the best phone I ever had. I am now waiting for the rumoured Nokia eos.
I am convinced that it will be worth the waiting.
But for now, I am convinced that my 920 will suffice,
And I will without hesitation recommend this phone to anybody who is asking.

I will suggest Lumia 920, and if display size is not a concern go for iphone it has apps and performance.
Don't go for Android, i have S4 even it lags a lot of times and Random reboots comes free with Android, but i never had any lag in my lumia 920 or iphone 5
WP8 is far better then Android
I've owned a Galaxy SI, SII and SIII (which I still use). I picked up a 920 for testing apps my company is developing on W8, and although initially I enjoyed the 920, it now spends most of its time in my computer bag, while I'm back to using the S3. Why? Severely limited apps, especially in the tools/utilities area, infuriating restrictions on music player apps and supporting utilities, no call blocking apps, etc.
I like to tinker- this phone is not for my kind of consumer. It's great for those who have no desire to customize- smooth as butter and easy to use interface, great camera, competent music player, excellent battery life. But I want more than that- I want, for example, an app with a 4-band parametric EQ, a themed, customized UI, ROM control and a custom kernel to overclock/undervolt/manage memory, wifi tethering, etc...
I have both. Would never replace Note 2 with any phone. I like huge display. Note 2 offers me better readability, easier documents handling, editing and sending. I like the fact that I can customise keyboard (using SwiftKey), widgets, fast access to applications.
Lumia 920 has great navigation. Great camera.

I have both and chose the 920 for two reasons: email on WP much nicer and I am now bored with flashing custom roms and tweaking launchers, too much time wasted. Android has a way of sucking you into endless process of perfecting your phone (so much so you forget why you need a phone in the first place!)

I very much agree with you, if you have a lot of spare time or if you just want to kill time and if your phone is everything for you then go for Android, if you want a smartphone that works as a smartphone out of the box go for WP8 or iOS

GO for Lumia 920. I recently switched form Galaxy note 2 and i am really enjoying it. All the necessary applications are available in WP8 and most importantly i am impressed with the smoothness and lag free interface of wp8. The lumia 920 is handy and you can use it one hand only , while with note 2 you have to use both hands.
If you ask me , go for lumia 920 !

Exactly true. thats the reason i switched from note 2 to lumia 920
Why not have both. I use lumia 920 for day to day activities n note2 for the browsing fun games etc...
Jotted from Note II near you.
