phone the company gave it a fresh look compared to the Lumia 920 and previous models it is also made out of aluminum for better antenna performance while keeping the polycarbonate back which in this case is very smooth and soft to the touch at 139 grams it is just 9 grams lighter than the Galaxy s4 which is made completely out of plastic with Samsung's own controversial buy now hyper glazing technology there are pros and cons to both when it comes to the in hand feel the galaxy s4 and its hyper glazed polycarbonate is slippery and collects fingerprints easily but its rounded corners make it feel somewhat better in the hand and the Lumia 925 which is cool to the touch on the edges where the aluminium is but it's squared shape might need some getting used to before we look under the hood and see the huge differences we need to understand the relationship between perception platforms and the horsepower needed the Lumia 925 is powered by a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor

AMOLED HD screen lives with a PPI rating of 441 the camera is a 13 megapixel unit paired with a 2 megapixel webcam on the front the s4 also has an IR blaster and a cornucopia of other sensors both screens deliver great results if you are into saturated colors and deep blacks however they don't really shine an outdoor visibility the Lumia 925 is the clear winner among the two and the information on its screen can be seen in direct sunlight compared to the s4 where you often need your second hand to cast some shadows still interview enables you to hover over the screen to see more relevant

using all or some of them is arguably up for the user there definitely but for an in-depth look at all the features of the s4 make sure to watch and read our full review on the other hand the Lumia 925 doesn't feature any of those Windows Phone looks as minimalistic and modern as fresh as it looked in the first day with towels flipping on your homescreen to keep you up to date with what's important and where Microsoft's operating system is lacking Nokia is doing a good job at filling in the gaps whether we're talking about the here shoot or the camera application there's always the ecosystem question which is a debate will not go into now before purchasing any of these phones make sure to research the ecosystem and what each has to offer both in terms of software titles and services the camera on the Lumia 925 is a pure view camera with 8.7 megapixel sensor optical image stabilization and carl zeiss lens the addition of a six lens versus the five lens construction of its predecessors tries to make pictures look even better the viewfinder on the windows phone is rather simple and can be misleading or annoying at times without displaying icons or information about what special mode you are in luckily it reverts to the fault upon launching it again so you don't miss a shot because of previous settings or modes and there is always the dedicated shutter release button which is a must and Windows Phone unfortunately a rare option on other devices the galaxy s4 on the other hand with its 13 megapixel camera has if you find out where you can tweak everything select
