19 July 2013
The Nokia Lumia 925 is a subtle but meaningful update of what was – literally until a few days ago – the company's top smartphone offering. While designers and engineers were busy fixing the Lumia 920, the guys next door produced a louder bang...

        I'm slightly disappointed with voice loudspeaker test and browsing time (still waiting for full battery tests) I will be getting it this week. So many features compensate esp the hardware. Time to update my 710

              I agree about the aluminum, but there are many people who prefer it and would buy the 925 because of that. For everybody else there are the 820/920/928/1020.

                Anonymous, 22 Jul 2013You can add multiple files on e-mail. This is a medium functioning device. I don't know why the heck Nokia is following the limited trend Apple had designed for the iPhone - fixed battery, no expandable memory and the obsession with scratchy dent-susceptible aluminum body.

                Again, this, along with the rest of the Lumia does not attach multiple files for email.

The fact that you attach only one file and not multiple files for email alone is an enormous flaw. Do you like no option for memory expansion? Mono audio recording for video talking?

                      An option for replacing the battery when you need to is better than only a fixed one. It's silly that these flagship designers are competing for thinner designs with the built-in battery, yet not enough to power to last over a day of medium usage.

                      A majority of the world aren't buying Nokia WP based devices because it can't offer so much with the current open-versatile Android devices.

                          I mean, I wouldn't call FaceTime native videocalling when it only works across iPhones... For me it's just a built-in app, not native. Now if those phones were able to interoperate via a common standardized protocol I won't discuss.

                                This reviews utterly fails to mention the fact that most Lumia 925 will be sold with only 16 GB of storage, with a few carriers exclusive exceptions here and there. For all intents and purpose, it should have considered this a 16 GB phone.

                                        "5MP is not far ahead of HTC One's 4MP camera and without the benefit of large sensor pixels."

                                        What benefit? I am certain that the 5Mp from the 925 still much better than the 4Mp of the HTC One, everyone knows that those "ultra pixels" from the One is a fail.
