Fed up of Nokia’s chunky plastic casing? You’ll be right at home with the Nokia Lumia 925
Which trades it in for a thinner 8.5mm metal frame instead
Which angular lines and a cool touch. It’s a step up from the ugly as anything Lumia 820
And the plasticky Samsung Galaxy S4 too

Like HTC’s exquisitely chiselled HTC One or Apple’s iPhone 5.Making up

Materials
Nokia's brand new Lumia 925 combines a similar design to their previous
Questionable battery longevity
Some camera functions overly complicated to use
We have few to no complaints about the hardware
Save for that we just wished the tank-like Nokia Lumia 920 looked like this last year. Our only criticisms are the platform
Windows Phone 8 is still very limited. Its keyboard lags behind the smarts of Android’s QWERTY options
And Internet Explorer feels clunky compared to Safari and Chrome for mobile.Nokia’s done the best it could with what it h
Key specs haven't really improved from the older 920
Windows Phone 8 app store is still poorly stocked
Wireless charging has been removed since the 920
Windows Phone 8 still clunky
Wide screen affects usability
No built-in wireless charging
No wireless charging
Windows Phone's lack of consumer services may leave BYOD workers disappointed
No HDR
Use of low ISO settings even when inappropriate
Digital zoom is limiting
Close-up focus not shown full-time in preview
Limitation to on-board storage
Inconsistent white balance at higher ISO settings
Mid-high ISO settings aren't "spectacularl
Distinctive twotone design
No interior access
Poor battery life
Needs a case to use wireless charging tech
Video and audio performance not as strong as best
Needs more apps
Aside from the design
It doesn't feel hugely different from the 920
In wider terms
Windows Phone still lags behind in the apps offering
No memory card slot
Windows Phone still suffers from few apps and little quirks
Screen goes green when looking from below or from the side
Speaker located on the back
Lack of integrated wireless charging and microSD memory card slot

The Nokia Lumia 925 may have a camera system that's peppered with brilliance, but it falls into many of the same pitfalls that its smartphone competitors suffer. The Nokia optical image stabilisation system offers both pros and the cons: it opens up...
