Lumia Cyan now available for some Developer Preview devices

Lumia Cyan now available for some Developer Preview devices

As you may know, those running the Windows Phone Developer Preview are not eligible for the Lumia Cyan update and have to revert back to the commercial version of Windows Phone 8.0 in order to receive Nokia's custom update. Fortunately it looks like Microsoft has rectified the issue for some devices.



The Windows Phone Support team has confirmed that the Nokia Lumia 1020 and Nokia Lumia 1520 on AT&T along with the Nokia Lumia 920 on T-Mobile Germany are now eligible to receive the Lumia Cyan update even if they are running the Windows Phone 8.1 Developer Preview.
Hello Folks, 
As part of our effort to resolve the issue with updating to Cyan while on the Preview for Developer program, we have rolled out the Cyan update to three specific device types this afternoon.
Customers on the following devices and participating in the Preview for Developer program can now take the Cyan update:

  • Nokia Lumia 1020 – Branded on AT&T
  • Nokia Lumia 1520 – Branded on AT&T
  • Nokia Lumia 920 – Branded T-Mobile Germany
We continue to work on releasing the other devices to receive Cyan as part of the Preview for Developer program and hope to have more information in the future.
Thank you.
Microsoft's Greg Sullivan (@gregwardo) has also confirmed this on Twitter:
Its likely that Microsoft is making sure they have fixed the issue by issuing the update to a few devices to begin with. We can be sure that the other handsets will also be able to enjoy Lumia Cyan soon. If you own one of the above devices, please leave us a comment and let us know if you have received the Lumia Cyan update. You can also manually check for the update on your device by heading to Settings > Phone Update > Check for Updates.

The Nokia Lumia 920 is being offered for $99 through electronics retailer, Fry's Electronics. However keep in mind that this is an AT&T branded device and not an unlocked one.

Fry’s Electronics also operates in Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Illinois, Indiana, and Georgia, so if you are looking for a premium handset for not a lot of money, and no commitment, here it is.

The Lumia 920  features a 4.5 inch PureMotion HD+ touch display, up to 32GB of internal storage, an 8MP PureView camera capable of 1080p HD video capture, a secondary camera for video calls, 4G LTE connectivity and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM.

Nokia Lumia 920 running Windows Phone 8.1 shown on video

Nokia Lumia 920A video of the Nokia Lumia 920 running Windows Phone 8.1 (Blue) was recently released online, showing a number of features expected to arrive in the next version of Microsoft's mobile platform. Among them, there is a Speed Dial function that looks to be under the "History" section of the dialer. The settings for IE 11 are shown and the video makes it clear how quickly you can change the default search engine. Data Sense can be configured from the IE settings page, and a Password Manager is available for web sites.

Also seen on the video is the calendar, which will now have week and year views. And you can micromanage the battery on your Windows Phone 8.1 powered handset using Battery Sense. Similar to other power saving apps that you might have seen on Android phones, it appears that you can arrange to have certain background apps shut down when battery life remaining drops under a certain pre-determined threshold.

Storage Sense lets you switch where you want your photos and music, apps and videos stored. You can choose between your phone's internal storage and a microSD card. And Windows Phone now has its own podcast app. You can choose from a list of podcasts provided by Bing, the app supports music and video. And Project My Screen allows you to wirelessly transmit what is on your screen to a television or a monitor using USB connectivity or a wireless device.


Keep in mind that this is not the final version of the update, but the fact that the next version of Windows Phone is smoothly running on the first Windows Phone 8 device should excite anyone who is using the phone.

Nokia Lumia 720 vs. Nokia Lumia 920 - Low Light Camera Comparison


The Nokia Lumia 920 is great at low light photography, because of its optical image stabilization and floating lens technology. However Nokia has a mid-range offering which is also a very capable low light performer, in the Nokia Lumia 720.

Both devices boast above average low-light camera performance, with the Lumia 720 featuring a 6.7 megapixel camera with an F/1.9 aperture, which is the widest available on a mobile phone so far. However the BSI sensor is a quite small in comparison with the 920, at just 1/36″.
