Nokia Lumia 920 is Thick and Heavy

One of the questions that results from this discovery is “how heavy or thick is too heavy or thick?” But we’ve addressed these issues before, in our piece discussing when a smartphone becomes too light and our editorial bemoaning the slow death of the smaller smartphone. We’ve even tackled the issue head-on in a more-recent piece asking who needs a tablet in today’s jumbophone-dominated world.

You could say we’re a little passionate about the issue of smartphone size.

But sometimes it’s more interesting to look at the device-size issue from the opposite angle. Instead of saying, “this is the situation; do you like it or do you hate it?” sometimes it’s fun to ask, “how did this situation come about?”

Ideally before it gets to this point.

That’s how I looked at the size and weight questions posed by the Nokia Lumia 920 after my first hands-on experience. The device was unquestionably thicker and heavier than I’d anticipated; while that didn’t bother me much, it did prompt me to wonder why. The answers came to me in an alliterative, if not entirely accurate, revelatory double-punch: the Lumia 920 is thick and heavy because of PureView and polycarbonate.
PureView

We know that the Nokia Lumia 920 doesn’t pack the same pixel-punch as its oddball predecessor, the PureView 808. We’ve commented on the issue at length, even going so far as to say that Nokia could have done real damage to the brand among smartphone shutterbugs by affixing the name to the comparatively weak optical hardware of the 920.

But all that aside, it’s hard to argue that the Lumia 920 doesn’t have an amazing camera. Judging from some of the test shots we’ve seen thus far, and our own eyes-on time, we feel pretty confident in saying that the 920′s camera stands ready to outperform many others in the smartphone sector. The reason for that is a mix of software and hardware, with the PureView camera module comprising the latter. CNet Asia got a chance to see what that module looks like:

Sitting alongside the device itself, you can instantly see where the Lumia 920 gets most of its bulk. The chassis has to be thick enough to accommodate the comparatively huge camera module — not because it’s primitive or otherwise handicapped, but because the unit needs to be that big to deliver fancy features like optical image stabilization.

New Quick Settings Menu Android 4.2 ROM

The first pics we saw of Nexus handsets LG 4 reveals that will run Android 4.1.2, apparently from some testing units feature Android 4.2 instead, and the people at Android Police managed to get copies of themselves just like the ROM. When they see through it, they reveal some new changes in store for us, and today we see a new interface "Quick Settings".

This is definitely a work in progress, as spelled out by the picture above. That is the actual file, dump 4.2 graphics included as placeholders until the code is complete. Android Police asking for the source that gave them dump it to give a little insight, and he responded with the video below.

As you can see, there is a movement of dual-under-swipe is required to access the Quick Settings interface, swiping again after first getting the notifications screen. Presumably, this will give users faster access to WiFi, airplane mode, and other device settings are present in some Android UIs.

Sounds like a welcome change, although we're not quite sure how intuitive motion-down double-swipe will use. From the looks of things, though, there is still much work to be done, so maybe I can tweak how you access the Quick Settings between now and when Android 4.2 was launched.
