New interpretation of world's most innovative smartphone captures the best low light images

Nokia today introduced the Nokia Lumia 925, a new interpretation of its award-winning flagship, the Nokia Lumia 920. The Nokia Lumia 925 introduces a metal design and showcases the latest PureView camera innovation, new features and third party applications coming to the Nokia Lumia range.

The Nokia Lumia 925 includes the most advanced lens technology and next generation imaging software to capture clearer, sharper pictures and video, including the best low light images. The Nokia Lumia 925 also introduces the new Nokia Smart Camera mode, coming as an update to all Lumia Windows Phone 8 smartphones. Nokia Smart Camera offers an easy way 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.

Nokia also announced Hipstamatic's new app, Oggl, will arrive on Nokia Lumia smartphones, allowing people to take and share high quality pictures with like-minded creatives and photography enthusiasts from around the world. In addition to sharing photos on Oggl, users can simultaneously share photos on social networks including Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Tumblr, Flickr and Instagram.

"We keep innovating," said Jo Harlow, executive vice president of Nokia Smart Devices. "We're advancing experiences on the Nokia Lumia portfolio whether that means great new benefits for an existing Lumia owner, or bringing new showcase devices like the Nokia Lumia 925."

The Nokia Lumia 925 introduces metal for the first time to the Nokia Lumia range, bringing appeal and unique benefits like increased robustness. The polycarbonate back comes in white, grey or black. A wireless charging cover can be clipped onto the back of the phone to take advantage of Nokia's extensive wireless charging accessories and ecosystem. Covers, sold separately, come in white, black, yellow, and red.

Leading Nokia services, such as the HERE suite of integrated location and navigation services and Nokia Music for unlimited streaming of free music playlists, add to the great proposition offered by Nokia's latest smartphone.

Nice

Can't wait to see camera samples and also interested in seeing the AMOLED screen on this

Good design too, Nokia and Sony the only two companies that make consistently good looking phones

Look,this is a refresh of their flagship which is thinner and lighter and has new camera features as well as better software. It is also a refresh before the Microsoft Windows phone 8 GDR2 update comes in later in the summer. It's going to be carrier tested this month. The new update will bring the change for better hardware on Windows phone. As i previously said the main big camera phone won't be till maybe autumn as Nokia have said they are planning something much bigger 808 style. Also the internal storage depends on region there is a 32 gig variant. And this is the first camera phone with 6 elements in the camera for the 925. Nokia actually listened to complaints about the design of the 920 that it was too heavy and big. There is improvements. If people were expecting 2 gig ram and 1080p with silly quad core or moneky core then well WP does not need this and even support it yet.

I was expecting more from Nokia, I honestly thought we'd see a Xenon flash, I thought Lumia925 was going to be the international version of the Verizon 928, now I know Verizon must've made Nokia fit the 928 with that Xenon flash. The 925's camera does sound great though, as for design? A lot of people complain that Samsungs look the same, but Nokia seems to be doing the same thing, there hasn't been a change in design since the MeeGo N9, the Lumia 800, 820, 900, 920 and some others look almost exactly the same, I simply cannot tell them apart, I'm not bothered but something I've realized each time I see Nokias in a phone store.

So who's getting the 925? I'd love to see what that camera does in the hands of some of the capable Esato members.

The 32GB version is a Vodafone exclusive in the UK and several other countries, so when you don't want branding on your phone (like me), you might only be able to get the 16GB version. A downgrade from the 32GB in my 920, as is the fact, that wireless charging isn't possible out-of-the-box anymore, you'd have to buy an extra shell, which makes the phone thicker again.
But then again it's 100 euros cheaper than the 920 was at launch, so clearly not meant to be the next flagship.

Other than that it's a nice phone.

Posted by Bonovox
Ah no many of the Lumia's do have slightly tweaked designs and the back of this looks different to the Lumia 920 and it is more squared compared to 920. The 620,520,720 and 820 all have deisgns of their own too. It is a flagship refresh & I knew it wouldn't be the big one that won't come just yet will be later this year. I also did expect Xenon too. Anyway i wouln'd say all these look the same



Posted by Del
I think this looks good and it will certainly entice those people who are now looking to get a new phone, I'm certainly interested in one but only if I can get the 32Gb version with a wireless charging cover

But I have to agree with some of the others here why has Vodafone got the 32Gb exclusivity or is it just the black one? I mean if Nokia want to shift these things then let all the networks have them


Posted by Bonovox
That happened before with exclusive deals with EE. But other stores are getting the handset like Carphone,O2,Phones4U etc but hopefull the 32 gig version should make it's way to others or online. Nokia should know this will make sales suffer

Posted by etaab
Its nothing ground breaking or new though.

Im disappointed also. I really want a Lumia phone with an 808 camera module. But this ? its just a 920.

When I read the specs, by the time I get to the end of whats new I have to start reading again. Talk about a minor and boring update. The design is nice, but I prefer the polycarbonate of the 920 with its seamless design.

I think it's a matter of networks having a chokehold on Nokia, they know Nokia needs their business so the bigger networks like Verizon and Vodafone agree to stock their devices ONLY if they get some sort of differentiation.

It's just a lighter,slimmer update with refreshed design. It has some new features and better camera software. Like many other manufacturers they have rehashed the flagship. As I already said,Nokia have said they do plan to have an 808 style camera on WP sometime in near future.

Posted by etaab
This one isn't much of a flagship upgrade though. Don't get me wrong, I love the Lumia line up, but its a bit forgetful.

Posted by Bonovox
That's gonna change soon It's really kinda Microsoft holding back specs wise. When the next big OS update comes there will be support for better hardware and better imaging software. Cannot come soon enough

Posted by etaab
I hope it does. I'd like to see a Galaxy S3 shaped Lumia device. A HTC One X (not the One) shaped Lumia device.

They need to mix it up a bit because the shape and design has now pretty much been the same since the Nokia N9. Which then became the Lumia 800. Then the Lumia 920. Then this..

I can understand why they're doing it, with all the colours of WP and their phone casings, they're being different from every other OEM out there, but their own phones don't differ from each other that much.

Posted by Bonovox
The back looks very different from 920 and it is less rounded and less colourful more mature design.

Is that first pic of the woman on a towel in the sand; on page 1 ... meant to be an optical illusion?!

She at first looks like she's hovering due to the shadow ... but a second take she's on the sand and the shadow is from a flag

Yes looks cool. Anyway,in it's first day the Lumia 925 on GSM Arena just like the GS4 has shot up to 93% popularity

^ nah the 6300 was a poor excuse for using very thin 'sheet' metal. I'd like to think this Lumia 925 exudes craftmanship like the classic 8800; but that's just mho.



^ that bad boy was on everybody's dream list, probably more than any vertu design at that time.

There is only so much designers can do with the large touchscreen being the main focus of the majority of smartphones from all competitors. Thin, screen dominates 99.3% of the front of the design (soon company/provider logo's will have nowhere to be branded but on the back). You all know this to be true because even Apple had to now focus on the "edge" of their smartphones, with HTC following suit with the One.

The market choices by us all will tend to stay with our chosen platform for a couple more years until something very drastic occurs - either innovation, scandal, or more connected and vertical offerings go beyond the cellphone appeal itself.

Previous trends have proven this:
Smartphone:
Ericsson R380 (? - but a closed Psion OS)
Nokia Communicator 9002 (? I think)
BlackBerry on C++ (again closed pager system for email).
Then S60 went pretty much unchallenged for a long while.

Camera:
Ericsson (T68m& K700i), then SonyEricsson (T68i), K750i
Music:
SonyEricsson W800i (with firmware cross-over from the community with K750i getting some of its juice)
(yes I'm aware others of tried, and in fact it was Sony's MagicGateStick that appeared almost 2yrs prior on their phone, the CMD MZ5. It also featured digital CD transfer as well using Toslink/Optical Cable, first to offer stereo headphones, and had a line of speaker accessories).

So now we're in large screens, such advanced smartphone OS', pretty much on the verge of replacing our computers, thanks to on-board expandable storage and cloud storage solutions for everything (Box, DropBox, SugarSync, etc) or just for media (Flickr, Photobucket, etc).

So ... what is the next major paradigm? We have desktops, laptops, smart fridges/stoves, TV and entertainment systems, high-speed wired or wide area internet access ... even our cars are becoming increasingly connected. Mobile Payment is still a bit slow to take up as every diamond collared Rockafeller and their institutions want in on the action, and finally the retail stores, public transit and soon higher education (university/colleges) and work places will be using NFC for security badges - also in our phones. The only real thing left is these vertical markets.

PS: Has anyone ever wondered why its so damn slow to share a link to cloud based media from your smartphone? (it should be very quick should it not? Organization is very random and erratic, horribly so.) Anyone also wonder why these cloud storages still restrict us under 500MB to upload, even from our PC's via browser or program installed, unless paying crazy $$ to have higher upload limits? This in no way helps the end user and our devices are much more than capable and efficient and fast at doing so, so why the public free solutions being so damn limited)??

I think Nokia is onto something with the 925 here ... I hate those thick pastel, Teletubie, Lumia's ... I want to use them as a hockey puck! I see someone using them I look at them like a child with a dog holster being walked by their parents on a leash. But I degress, the 925 will do quite well I think.

It does look good.. I am eager to check it out in person.

I think it will sell well, probably better than the 920..

Posted by Bonovox
Yes well Nokia said this time it has 6 lenses as supposed to 5 which is another first for mobile cameras they have done after optical image stabilization. In top of this with the new smart camera app and new software image processing it will be better image quality overall compared to the 920. All other Lumia range on WP8 will also get the new Amber update improving image quality as well as new features,eg Smart Camera app etc. Nokia are looking after their customers better than Microsoft have been.

The camera on the 925 must be really something because the shots I've taken on my 920 have been great so the 925 must be awesome, fingers crossed.

Posted by Bonovox
On here they said the camera is definitely improved with the extra lens and new image processing algorithms. Looks gorgeous in this video. I could live with 16 gigs as i have before i never fill it up

The improved image quality along with the AMOLED screen, aluminum frame, and resultant thinner and significantly lighter body are all marked improvements over the Lumia 920. Definitely more than ok!

Posted by Bonovox
Sorry but after reading the review those images are horrid. My Galaxy Note 2 does way better. And this phone also suffers death grip issue it's all over Vodafone forums. And also buzzing sound in earpiece. Nokia have lost the plot did they not learn from Apple when putting an antenna around a metal frame?? Duh
