We round-up the best Windows Phones on the market, from budget options like the Nokia Lumia 620, to powerhouse, flagship models like the HTC Windows Phone 8X and Nokia Lumia 920.
3 / 13
The Nokia Lumia 820 is a mid-range Windows Phone 8 handset boasting 4G connectivity and featuring a unique design with interchangeable backplates. It's a solid device with removable storage and excellent bundled Nokia apps but it's heavy and there's not enough price difference between it and the flagship Lumia 920.
