Nokia, the Finland-based mobile manufacturer, recently went full force during the Mobile World Congress 2012 as it unveiled some of their newest smartphones. Included in the list is Nokia Lumia 900, the company's first Windows phone.

The Nokia Lumia 900 is the bigger sibling of the Nokia Lumia 800 and based on the specifications of the Nokia Lumia 900, it really lives up to its reputation as the "bigger" model. There is a big improvement in this new smartphone with regards to display size, battery performance, and processor speed and capability.

Here are the specifications for Nokia Lumia 900:

Dimensions: Height - 5.03 inches, Width - 2.7 inches, Thickness - 0.45 inches, and Weight - 5.6 ounces

Based on the specifications listed for Nokia Lumia 900, it is a little on the downside. This difference is clearly noticeable especially if compared to the smartphones that were launched alongside the Lumia 900 during the Mobile World Congress 2012. Most smartphones that were revealed during this event had dual-core up to quad-core processor which means faster processing speed and ability to maintain applications that are big in storage size. The Nokia Lumia 900 still has a single-core processor due to the fact that Windows Phone is not yet compatible to support multicore chips.

The Nokia Lumia 900 is supposed to be different from Nokia Lumia 800 but the supposed difference is not evident except for the Lumia 900 being a little bit bulkier. Both smartphones still have the same specifications which could be overshadowed by other smartphones even though it is the company's flagship model as a Windows Phone. The Nokia Lumia 900 is estimated to be worth £464.98 when it is released in the United Kingdom. Nokia has not yet released any statement if this smartphone will be available in Australia since the Nokia Lumia 800 has just been released in the country.
