This week at CES I was able to get my hands on the newly announced Nokia Lumia 900 and compare it to the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch that I’m currently reviewing. It’s a great comparison considering both of these devices are at the higher-end of the smartphone spectrum. The Galaxy S2 has a 4.5-inch AMOLED screen and the Lumia 900 has 4.3-inch AMOLED screen. In terms of thickness the Galaxy is .38-inches and the Lumia 900 is .45-inches (max). I say max because the back of the 900 is rounded off so it starts off thinner and in the middle hits its thickest point. So the design specs are similar, although the insides are much different. But this article is to showcase the external hardware, not the internal, so we’ll focus on that.

Before I move forward with all the photos I’d first like to mention something about this Lumia 900 unit. Let it be known that this exact phone in the photos is a prototype model and not the final product. The edges will be smoothed out a bit and the labels will be different. For the most part though, the body is finished. Unfortunately I couldn’t get any shots with the screens turned on.

Thanks to the Nokia 900 product manager Vance for letting us take pictures of this prototype.

Stay tuned for more coverage of the Nokia Lumia 900 coming soon to AT&T.

    No problem dude. I’m really impressed by Windows Phone so far. Been using it all week.

    somehow, Nokia phones always stand out in terms of design.

  • http://www.themobilefanatics.com Mike Macias

    Agreed. Nokia designers do a great job of standing out in the crowd. This will be the first taste of a top Nokia model in the US in a really long time. I’m curious to see how consumers here will react. I know I’m getting one!

    Ah at last! US consumers finally have a top-dog smartphone that doesn’t look exactly like every other bloody smartphone in the store! Hats off to Nokia. Designed above the rest. WAY above.  :)

    You may want to correct it, the Samsung Galaxy S2 has 4.3″ display, and not 4.5″ as you’ve mentioned above.

  • http://www.themobilefanatics.com Mike Macias

    The version for sprint and t-mobile have a 4.5 inch screen. The galaxy s2 in the photos above is the sprint version.

    Hey do you mean the raised bezel will be smoothed out or just the edges of the polycarbonate?

  • http://www.themobilefanatics.com Mike Macias

    We’re not sure yet. I interviewed the product manager and he touched on this subject. I’m working on the video edits as we speak and I’ll let you know when it’s uploaded to our Youtube channel. Be sure to stick around!

  • http://www.themobilefanatics.com Mike Macias

    I think it will be awhile before the Lumia 900 hits India. How long can you wait?

  • Nep_guy

    he said indonesia… those are two different countries…

  • http://www.themobilefanatics.com Mike Macias

    Doh! Thanks for the correction!
