Engadget, one of our favorite technology sites, recently held a contest asking their readers to rank their favorite devices, ranging from TVs to phones and laptops.

To our delight, our customers and fans came through for Nokia again. The Nokia Lumia 920 – the world’s most innovative smartphone – won Best Smartphone of 2012!

lumia_winsWe’re not quite sure if it’s because of innovations like PureView, wireless charging or the amazing super sensitive touch display, but we’re happy and we have all the Nokia customers and fans to thank.

The Lumia 920 won the category decisively, garnering more than 43% of the votes. For comparison, the next best phones in terms of votes only managed to get 15.5%.

In similar news, last week Gizmodo showcased the Nokia Lumia 920 as having the “best smartphone camera” when compared to the competition.

Thanks again for all your votes – we appreciate the support! 

Let’s keep the conversation going!

    If you could just make your phones a bit smaller then it would be perfect.

      Get hands on with the Lumia 620. It’s petit but perfectly formed! Adam loves his.

      • http://conversations.nokia.com Ian Delaney

        I should add – thanks for all the comments above, too. We’re humbled.

        Well, thanks for the tip. I obviously meant a top end device with a large screen but small bezel. Stilll don’t understand why the 920 and 820 have to be so ridiculously big and heavy.

        • Bataleon

          Think of the 920 as an expensive timepiece – big, heavy and
          exuberating absolute quality. A Rolex that weighed 50 grams wouldn’t be a Rolex.

        • Matthew Paul

          Relatively, the bezels on the 920 aren’t actually that big. The HTC 8X has a 4.3 inch screen and it is still taller than the 920 which has a 4.5 inch screen.

          The Z10 is the same height as the 920 but it has a 4.2 inch screen.

          They’re all big devices but the 920 has gotten too much slack for its size. I’m using one to type this message out and it is not noticeably heavy.

    nokia is bst not in 2012…itz will be bst in future also..

  • bean

    To our beloved app developers out there, the people have spoken… Nokia FTW!!!

  • Nik_Ind

    A Tiger never loses sleep over the opinions of sheep!!… Forza Nokia!!… Congratulations Nokia

  • ungeheier

    I was minutes away from purchasing a 920 back in december, but while I waited and played with the demo 920 at the AT&T store I started to realize how many Apps that I use daily on my iPhone 4 that I wouldn’t have on the 920.

    Had there not been so many people in the store and my wait so long I would be an owner of a 920.

    Edit: Congrats on the award!

  • RYJSKY

    Nokia is the best mobile brand, I love Nokia, congratulations..

  • Matthew Paul

    Even the team from Blackberry are backing you…

    Keep moving ;)

    Oh and let’s show HTC the real meaning of a ‘breakthrough’!

    all 100% right on. Good for Nokia.

  • kumar gautam

    I guess this link explains why. The OS and Camera seem to be the game changers :

    having used Nokia 920 for over a month now – I feel that Lumia 920 is a letdown ( I had purchased it based on such marketing hype ). Its email function is perhaps one of the worst amongst all smartphones and there are features absent in,Lumia 920 which are basic and available elsewhere . The battery life is very less (less than a day and on some days barely 12 hours). The phone gets heated up on continuous usage of about 2 hours . The less said about the apps the better . These are still under development and many require considerable improvement . Also the integration between various features/functions is sub standard. For example one cannot attach office documents to emails from email module; there is no ‘select all’ feature in copy and paste. There is no ‘cut’ feature and many many more like this. Probably the ones that rated this phone did so purely for camera and the screen resolution

    • jhon

      ^ haha mate you are a [delete] enuff said!!

      • shankar

        Mind your Language you uncouth idiot. Either challenge the contentions or keep quite. infact Nokia itself has accepted my points and are investigating the issues .

  • challe232

    I’m glad to hear. I love my 920 to pieces. I just wish more people knew about it and were willing to switch. Its the best phone ive ever had. Xo love you Nokia you rock

  • http://twitter.com/akbleackley Andrew Bleackley

    Well if you opened up your sales rather than locking into exclusive deals with substandard carriers only(*cough cough rogers, att*) your sales would probably reflect the voting. I for one wouldn’t go to Rogers if you paid me, best phone or not if Telus or Bell doesn’t get it in Canada soon I’m buying an ATIV S

  • Lawrence Gitonga

    Great phone once you get the hang of it.

  • cliford

  • Tsog

    Now it is Nokia’s time to compete Samsung and Apple. Windows phone can be dominate in the market?

  • Rovers

    Nokia will regain its market share back by 2014 .with its innovative products Lumia 920 is awsome mobile compared to other high end phones.

    Its so unfornate Jobs died early. Charisma will never be the same. Nokia is in the Right Track… at the right place N at the right time… looking forward for more better updates. cheers!

  • Victornow

    I Always have had Nokia mobile phones and always without problems so, am I a Lucky guy or it’s the Nokia quality? Listen to me mate; go and buy an expensive and delicate apple iphone for 800€, just to do what i do with My Nokia 920 with gorilla glass display and tell me what you think when they ask you 250€ to change a normal Glass display, broke with a stupid fall!
