Nokia have just announced the brand new Lumia 925 to the world here in London and we are going hands on with it in the next few minutes.
The Lumia 925 has an impressive set of specifications for the new Nokia flagship phone and this carries on from the success of the Lumia 920 which was well know for it’s amazing low light camera, however the bar has been raised again with the 925.
Today we announce the Nokia Lumia 925, bringing together the best in low light imaging, a smarter camera and a beautiful new look.
The Nokia Lumia 925 comes with a sleek, metal-finished design, a new AMOLED display to make it possible to view the content from more angles, and new features and advances in our PureView imaging technology for capturing even clearer, sharper pictures.
The design is quite clearly stunning, and in a first for the Lumia range, features metal. The metal frame on the Lumia 925 not only draws attention to the phone’s slim-line good looks, but also lends robustness and functions as an antenna. The polycarbonate body and metal frame are fused together to create a perfect whole.

Snappy features
At the heart of the new camera improvements is the next generation of image processing software and the most advanced lens technology to make every shot clear and sharp.
One of the new features is the new Nokia Smart Camera mode that allows you to create the perfect high quality image. Nokia Smart Camera offers an easy way to take ten shots at once and then edit them afterwards with tools and effects like Best Shot, Action Shot and Motion Focus.
As well as updated software, the camera on the Lumia 925 also comes with the most advanced lens technology. Together, the improvements deliver clearer and sharper pictures and video. And allow you to capture the best pictures in the dark. Even better, the imaging software improvements will be made available to existing compatible Windows Phone 8 Lumia smartphones in an update called Nokia Lumia Amber, which will be rolling out this summer.
Bright spark
The Nokia Lumia 925 also boasts a new 4.5-inch AMOLED display which offers superior brightness and sunlight performance making it easy to see the content even on the sunniest summer day. Add-on covers, sold separately, can add wireless charging to the phone and will come in yellow, red, white and black.
And, of course, the Nokia Lumia 925 comes with all the exclusive Nokia services that contribute towards making our phones better than the rest. Notably, you’ll find the HERE suite of location services for always finding your destination, and Nokia Music for free, unlimited streaming of music playlists, even when offline.
The Nokia Lumia 925 is expected to start selling in June first in UK, Germany, Italy and Spain with Vodafone and other operator and retail partners; and in China with China Mobile and China Unicom, followed by the US with T-Mobile. It will be priced at around 469 EUR before any local taxes or operator subsidies.
We are expecting most if not all UK operators to pick this up so look out for their announcements throughout today.
