Nokia shipped its Lumia Amber update for Windows Phone with a host of new features focused on imaging improvements, but the future Lumia Black update brings more modest changes. Nokia is largely improving the Glance feature of its Lumia handsets with the Black update that will ship in the coming weeks. During a session at Nokia World in Abu Dhabi today, Nokia detailed changes to Glance, the custom screen it displays when the phone is in standby. Lumia Black will add the image background support we saw recently in beta, and a host of colors to the sleep mode for the feature. Nokia is also adding in notification support for the existing lockscreen notifications.

While these Glance features will come alongside Lumia Black, Nokia is also adding a pedometer to Glance. A new steps feature, expected to debut in early 2014, measures the number of steps you're taking with your phone and displays them on the Glance screen. It's a neat addition, and it's clear Nokia is once again putting a...

Nokia may have had a bunch of hardware on display at its Abu Dhabi event today, but some of the company's most impressive work is linked with its camera improvements.

It's a separate app that works with all of Nokia's PureView Windows Phones to allow owners to refocus parts of an image.

The most obvious comparison is to Lytro’s camera...

Nokia may have announced a 6-inch 1080p Windows Phone and a Windows RT tablet, but the company also has a handset that’s designed to be budget friendly. The Lumia 1320 might be twice the size of your wallet with a 6-inch display, but it drops the 1080p resolution found on the Lumia 1520 in favor of a 720p screen. The Verge got a chance to take a brief look at the Lumia 1320 today at Nokia World in Abu Dhabi, and it certainly looks impressive...
