Nokia's just announced its latest run of Windows Phone handsets, including the new Lumia 820. We've had a chance to spend some time with the device, and while it's not quite as impressive as the new Lumia 920, it's a nice upgrade from the last-generation 800.
The Lumia 820 feels much more like a normal smartphone than the 920, with rounded edges that don't feel quite as severe in your hand. The 4.3-inch display is every bit as attractive as its larger cousin's, but since the phone is a bit smaller it's more usable in one hand. You'll also get something resembling the same amount of screen real estate from the smaller display, because the 820's buttons are located below the screen while the 920's are on it. The build looks very much like the 920, from the ceramic buttons to the unibody-like chassis. It feels a bit more plasticky, but the tradeoff is that the 820 has swappable backs and a bunch of additional color options (the backs can also add NFC capabilities).
