The Lumia 925 is the latest flagship smartphone to join Nokia’s lineup. After extensive leaks online, Nokia has shed the polycarbonate design from previous devices and has come to market with an all-aluminum gem.
Much of the specs are the same as the Nokia Lumia 920, namely the 4.5-inch (1280 x 768 resolution) display, 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 Plus processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, 2,000mAh battery, 8.7MP camera and a 1.2MP front-facing camera, but there are some notable differences. The aluminum makes Lumia 925 much lighter, coming in at 139 grams and only 8.5mm thin (Lumia 920 was 185 grams and 10.7mm thin).
Nokia says the Lumia 925 differs from any other previous Windows Phone 8 devices because it has “the most advanced lens technology and next generation imaging software.” The camera is an 8.7MP Pure View and they’ve included “Nokia Smart Camera mode” – something they say will come to all Lumia Windows Phone 8 smartphones – and allows users to “capture ten images at once and edit the pictures with options like Best Shot, Action Shot, and Motion Focus for creating the perfect high quality image.” This is tech from their purchase of Scalado (same company that powers the BlackBerry 10 camera features).
The LTE-enabled Lumia 925 also has wireless charging, but you’ll need to purchase a separate cover that attaches to the back – this is available in white, black, yellow, and red. As for a Canadian release – no word yet. The Lumia 925 will launch in June in UK, Germany, Italy, Spain and China for 469 EUR ($600), then in the US at T-Mobile, followed by “a number of other markets.”
