Nokia has released its Lumia Black software update for both the Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 on AT&T.
One of the top reasons to buy a Nokia Lumia smartphone over competing smartphones from Samsung, HTC and others, is that Nokia does a great job of adding its own special sauce to Microsoft's latest update to Windows Phone. Nokia has always received special treatment from Microsoft in having more access to the Windows Phone OS than any other licensee. Many Windows Phone fans are hoping that with Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia, all Windows Phone updates will contain the kinds of enhancements Lumia users have been used to for a couple of years.
Until then, if you own an AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 or a Lumia 820, you'll be happy to know that Nokia has just announced that it has released its Lumia Black software update for both smartphones.
If you own either the AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 or Lumia 820, you'll be able to see if the update is available for your device by going into Settings. From there, tap Phone Update, and you should then receive a notification that you have a software update ready. It should begin downloading and once the process is finished, you'll have some cool, new features.
You'll be able to personalize and organize your Start screen by adding similar apps and settings to a folder by using App Folder. Nokia Glance makes it easier to check for notifications and time, by having them appear even while the smartphone is asleep. You'll also benefit from Bluetooth LE support, which will allow you to connect your Lumia to other Bluetooth LE devices such as smartwatches and such. The update also brings Nokia Camera to your handset, which combines the Nokia Pro Camera and Smart Camera to make sure you get the best images possible - you can even adjust the settings in real time to see what an image will look like before you take a picture. These are only a few of the Nokia Lumia Black software update goodies, but there are many other neat features.
If you're an AT&T Lumia 920 or Lumia 820 owner, check for the software update so you can get all of the new Lumia Black software enhancements Nokia has in store for you.
