As expected, at the end of IFA Nokia presented its premiere models. There were no surprises: these are Lumia 820 and 920, which we know from previous leaks.

Lumia 820 will be the budget smartphone with Windows Phone 8. A characteristic feature of this model is nicely rounded body with juicy colours. Lumia 820 uses a dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5 GHz, and the system interface presents us ClearBlack OLED screen with a resolution of 800x480 pixels. For lovers of photography there is an 8-megapixel camera with Zeiss optics and a front VGA webcam. An interesting option is a wireless charging, requiring only the replacement of the back cover. A little disappointing is the capacity of a built-in memory (8 GB), but it could be increased with a microSD card and you'll also get an additional 7GB of storage on Microsoft's cloud service, Skydrive.
