Nokia's metallic Lumia 925 gets the hands-on treatment

2013-05-14
hello I'm the Westway Jersey Nets here with the Nokia Lumia 925 now this is Nokia's latest Windows Phone device it's an update to the Lumia 920 it keeps at 4.5 inch screen but this is an OLED display instead and hopefully that means you're going to get some writer slightly more vivid colors the phone is roughly the same size as the 920 as you can see here even if it's a little bit slimmer the main design difference though is the weight this phone has a metal construction which means it feels an awful lot lighter to hold that's certainly a good thing because it doesn't feel too cheap build quality on first impression feels quite high you can see the metal around the edges of this phone but the back itself is still plastic all right let's move around to the back where you'll see the same 8.7 megapixel sensor just residing on the Lumia 920 nokia says however that it's improved the actual optics inside the camera as well as the software which hopefully will make some better pics helping out with those better pics is a new app called nokia smart camera now what this basically does is take 10 photos in quick succession that you can then later edit in and add some crazy effects like this motion blur or for example adding multiple frames to one shot to create an action scene like this one these kind of features are already present on the HTC One and Samsung's Galaxy s4 but it's nice to see Nokia adding them in as well apart from that to be honest there's not a lot here that we haven't seen before the 95 is powered by the same 1.5 gigahertz dual-core processor the power the Lumia 920 it feels very slick and smooth to use of course is powered by Windows Phone 8 you also get some of Nokia's own brand apps on board like here which is a mapping service you get here drive which is turn-by-turn navigation and nokia music which lets you stream playlists so all in all this feels like a modest upgrade to the Lumia 920 it certainly seems like a neat little mobile and I like how light it feels but will it be enough to tempt shoppers away from the galaxy s4 or the iphone 5 let me know I'm the best way to cnet's and this is the Nokia Lumia 925
