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
Even if it’s still not exactly a work of art
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

Distinctive twotone design

Poor battery life

Aside from the design
It doesn't feel hugely different from the 920
In wider terms

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

Nokia has improved its flagship Lumia in most departments, with a better screen and slimmer, lighter design that's just as affordable as high-end rivals. It's not the best when it comes to demanding task though, but the real issue comes away from the mai...

Screen resolution lags behind rivals, Not a giant leap forward, No wireless charging
Some people might say Nokia is running out of ideas with its Windows 8 phones. While there are different approaches to chassis design across the range they're all distinctively Nokia-ish. And while Nokia's software add-ons continue to grow, the standout,...
