2013-06-18
the Nokia Lumia 925 as-salat chances of being the best Windows Phone out there is it really the case let's check it out in our full review right now when Nokia announced the Lumia 925 at its special event in London the buzzword of the day was aluminum however the Lumia 925 is not made completely out of this material and is not a unibody phone the back panel which is not only user removable is made out of polycarbonate this time a very soft touch version of it Nokia also slightly tweaked the design of the Lumia 925 while one can still instantly recognize it as a Nokia phone it is somewhat different from the Lumia 920 and Lumia 928 it is no longer the tank its predecessor was instead we're looking at a thinner more elegant slicker version of the film in addition to some design tweaks Nokia also improved its PureView camera over the unit on the Lumia 920 by throwing in an additional six plans for better overall sharpness colour reproduction and image quality for a detailed look at all the aspects of the phone make sure to check out our full review over at PocketNow and subscribe to our social media channels so you don't miss anything going around the device you will see a nice piece of Gorilla Glass 2 taking up the entire front slightly curved blending in with the aluminum on the sides behind the glass is worthy 4.5 inch pure motion HD plus ClearBlack AMOLED screen resides with a resolution of 768 by 1280 for a PPI rating of 334 the your piece is at the top alongside the sensors a 1.2 megapixel wide-angle webcam and the Nokia branding while the bottom is specific to any Windows Phone with the back home and search buttons nicely backlit and glowing in white the aluminum goes all the way around the phone on the edges and while there's nothing for us to show you on the left and the bottom part the right edge is also specific to Nokia windows phones with buttons for volume up and volume down power and camera these two are made out of aluminum and have a nice click to them up top there's a micro SIM tray a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack a secondary microphone for noise cancellation as well as the micro USB port for syncing and charging the camera is what instantly pops out when you look at the back of the Lumia night five the second-generation peer review unit with the optical image stabilization improved the light performance carl zeiss lens and a system containing an additional six lens for improved picture quality above the construction there's a dual LED flash rather powerful and the bottom holds the speaker grill just below the three connectors which provide wireless charging once a special accessory back cover is slapped on or what you can see is the same dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon s4 processor from the Lumia 920 and 928 clocked at 1.5 gigahertz one gig of ram 16 gigabytes of non-expandable storage there will be some 32 gigabyte exclusive versions plus all the usual suspects Wi-Fi Bluetooth and IC sensors and a two thousand milliamp hour battery needless to say that the phone feels exceptional in the hand and the materials used are premium we only have two things to complain about the flimsy squeaky back cover which sounds like this and the slight gap on the bottom but Nokia told us it is by design we believe them but don't necessarily accept it a premium device should comes quick and gap free Windows Phone is just that Windows Phone fluid as it ever was with no noticeable lags or stutters the ecosystem has improved a lot but you still won't find that YouTube app Google apps Instagram Facebook pages manager and some other applications which are there on competing platforms there are third-party solutions though as far as the OS itself is concerned that still needs some more features to close the gap between Windows Phone and Android as well as iOS then update is expected soon and we hope for the best nokia went all-in to deliver a good user experience bundling applications which come in very handy like the entire here shoot for free voice-guided online and offline navigation location discovery and traffic where available nokia music is a nice alternative to Xbox music and additional titles like app highlights or photo Beamer all add to the experience as far as imaging is concerned the fins bundled their own Nokia smart cam app which enables you to unleash your creativity and take the windows from camera to the next level action shots motion blurs best faces unwanted object removal and more are all featured that plus the creative studio for easily adding defects distills we have spent five solid days with the Nokia Lumia 925 and have used it mainly in the city of Florida reception was solid oftentimes one bar better than any other phone and call quality was just as good we sounded good to people on the other end of the line and that's how they sounded to us the noise cancellation is doing a great job speakerphone performance is also good though the loudspeaker and the back oftentimes requires a hand cup gesture to direct the sound towards us data was also reliable which be just as good as on any other phone depending on the carrier's limitation and signal strength when it comes to camera performance we have no doubt that the Lumia 925 is the best shooter on Windows Phone at the moment that until Nakia makes it obsolete with its iOS announcement soon until then pictures come out clear bright and crisp though sometimes we wish we could have captured more detail thanks to peer review stage two the Lumia 925 is a king when it comes to the light performance we are yet to find a phone which can come close to it the one third of an inch backside illuminated sensor coupled with optical image stabilization does an exceptional job battery life was also good for eighty two thousand milliamp our unit our typical uses scenario included five to ten short voice calls initiated and received same amount of text messages some Facebook AIIMS about ten emails received and just as many sent moderate web browsing about fifteen minutes of gameplay some music streaming a short 15 minute session of GPS navigation as well as taking 10 to 20 pictures we started our day off at 6 a.m. in the morning and at midnight we were still good to go for three more hours on our next attempt the second day we almost doubled our usage and the battery died on us shortly before 11 p.m. there is no doubt that the Lumia 925 is the best Windows Phone on the market today of course we'll understand if you don't order one right now after seeing this review knowing that one this unlock unit set us back about 750 dollars and to the Nokia iOS is just around the corner if you don't care about any of those that by all means go for the best even if you're not a fan of the platform if Android doesn't appeal to you and you prefer not to have an iphone the Lumia 925 is the right choice we rate the Nokia Lumia 925 and 8.3 mainly because of the flimsy backplate which just doesn't feel right when it's flakes else all our complaints are more towards windows film than nakiye and it's Lumia 925 everyone that's gonna do it for today for a full Nakia Lumia 925 review a bonanza
