Nokia Lumia 925: Product Review

The Nokia Lumia 925 is the most refined, and improved version of its sibling, the Lumia 920, bringing a variety of cool features, apps, and solid specs for a much incredible mobile entertainment. Unlike the polycarbonate bodies of other Lumia units, this handset is the very first to introduce the metal body to the family, so it looks quite premium and sleek. Apart from that, it also offers a mid-sized AMOLED display, slightly better rear camera, user-friendly operating system, and a dual core processor for seamless multitasking.

Design and Display

Design-wise, the Lumia 925 is fairly similar to the Lumia 920. But what makes it more attractive is the aluminum frame surrounding the unit, unlike its other Lumia siblings, which are mostly made of quality plastic. Apart from the metal frame, another asset of this unit is its thin profile. It is actually the thinnest Lumia yet at only 8.5 mm. As to what you would expect from its svelte body, it is also lightweight at only 139 grams lighter than the bulky Lumia 920, which weighs 185 grams.

Build quality is excellent and its smooth curved sides give you a solid yet comfortable feel in the hand. Up top sits the standard headphone jack, micro USB port, and microSIM slot. Along the right hand side, you can find the power button, volume control rocket, and the shutter button while the left hand side is totally bare.

The front of the Nokia Lumia 925 is dominated by a large, 4.5-inch display. It uses an AMOLED screen, so you can clearly view images and read messages even under direct sunlight. It’s bright, razor sharp, and vibrant. Colors are vivid, and viewing angles are also quite impressive. It offers 768 x 1280 pixel resolution, and uses PureMotion HD+ ClearBlack technology just like its predecessor, thereby giving you a satisfying viewing experience.

Camera

The camera of the Lumia 925 is slightly beefed up as compared to the Lumia 920. Just like the latter, it uses a 8.7 megapixel sensor. The only difference is that it uses Carl Zeiss optics, which is more than enough for mobile camera aficionados out there. Apart from that, it offers more clever features and other useful functions to capture the Kodak moments with your loved ones.

Some of the cool features you can enjoy include the Bing vision, cinemagraph, panorama, and the Nokia Smart camera. Another notable feature is the optical image stabilization, which greatly reduces the camera shake effect, especially when recording videos.

Performance

Powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, the Lumia 925 is good enough for those who are into multi tasking but not as great as compared to its rivals with quad core processors. And with Windows Phone 8 operating system, navigation is made easier and smoother. The OS comes with a number of features including the popular social network apps like Facebook and Twitter. Web browsing is also quick, so you can always visit your favorite websites without any hassle or delays.

Call quality on the other hand is slightly disappointing, so you may encounter minor problems, especially when you’re calling at a noisy place. This is just a heads up for those who are engaged with other third party services just like the RingCentral. Nevertheless, it still allows you to keep in touch with your loved ones anytime, anywhere with its extensive connectivity options and good battery performance.

Pros:

• Excellent build quality
• Slim and lightweight design.
• Much improved rear camera

Cons:

• 
  
• Only offers 16 GB of storage.
• Poor call quality.

Overall, the Nokia Lumia 925 is undeniably a great Windows Phone 8 Smartphone with solid specs. It’s classy, stylish, durable, and lightweight. However, there is no denying that it sits in an odd position because it is quite similar to its predecessor, with only little improvement. Nevertheless, it’s certainly a better performer than the latter.
