Premium build quality
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

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

We doubt that 920 owners will be moved enough to throw their handsets in the bin but if you're after a handset with imaging at its core, can put up with a lacklustre (but steadily improving) app selection, and are unaware that Nokia will probably be annou...
This is a hard one for me really as I do really like this phone and I am at a crossroads with regard to my mobile and what I need from it. So for me I have to say I am really enjoying using the new Lumia 925 and I look forward to continuing to for the for...
Sleek design; loads of features, impressive snapper; Bright and sharp screen; Perfect performance
This is one of the best Windows Phone handsets we've seen; the PureView snapper impresses, the display is high-res and bright, and Nokia has included lots of great features. And it's slimmer than the rather chunky Lumia 920 as well...

The Lumia packs great photography and video capture into a top notch all-rounder. The usual caveats apply: if you want complete breadth of app coverage, and this is paramount, buy an iPhone 5. If you want the best imaging, Samsung's Galaxy Zoom offers a ...

In all, the Nokia Lumia 925 is a capable, high-end smartphone and we enjoyed our time with it. It crams all the core componentry from the Lumia 920 into a slimmer, lighter chassis, and has a slightly improved camera along with some fun extra features. ...
