Nokia Lumia 925 Review



The latest Nokia Lumia 925 smartphone hits the global market. It’s unique design, spectacular camera, and snappy features make it an amazing phone. Nokia Lumia 925 Reviews by Top Tech Site are follows.



The Verge says that Nokia is leading the pack in Windows Phones.  Mr. Tom Warren goes into great depth on the new Nokia Lumia 925. First starting with comparisons with the previous Lumia models, then talking about the aluminum frame, while leading to camera features and everywhere in between. In Verge its scored 8.1 in their review. It also described that Nokia has mostly nailed the design with the Lumia 925, but Windows Phone is holding it back. Microsoft's mobile platform hasn't progressed a lot since its introduction in November, with basic features like a rotation lock and reliable notifications still missing. Nokia is trying to fill the gaps with software and services, but ultimately it's a very similar Windows Phone experience to any other device from Samsung or HTC. My main complaint about Windows Phone is this slow rate of progress. The Lumia 925 is the best Windows Phone you can buy right now, but compared to an iPhone 5 or Galaxy S4 it's still lagging behind on the software front. I came to a similar conclusion with my Lumia 720 review just two months ago, Microsoft's mobile platform is still the big drawback to Nokia's Lumia devices.



CNET UK in their review that Lumina 925 swiping around the interface is extremely smooth and responsive and switching between open apps in the multitasking window is free of any delay. Mr. Andrew Hoyle looking very closely and the Windows Phone 8 OS, the screen resolution and 1.5GHz dual-core processor. In their conclusion is that Nokia has taken much of the key hardware from the Lumia 920 and wrapped it up inside a slimmer, lighter and arguably more luxurious body. The addition of the glass lens makes an already superb camera even better. Sure, the screen isn't Full HD and the dual-core processor won't impress Galaxy S4 owners, but you're unlikely to notice this in everyday use. The main drawback is still the lack of good new apps in the Windows Phone app store, but otherwise, the 925 is a brilliant phone. If you're after a truly brilliant camera though, you might want to hold onto your money just in case Nokia launches the much-rumoured Lumia EOS.



Engadget Mr. Mat Smith talking about its ceramic feel that “There’s an almost ceramic texture to the phone that improves the grip and also lends it more of a flagship feel”. He writes about the differences between Nokia’s more colourful Lumia smartphones, such as the Nokia Lumia 920 and the more subtle tones of the new Nokia Lumia 925. In their conclusion they said taht "Nokia has fixed several of the biggest complaints leveled at the Lumia 920. In fact, the Lumia 925 feels like a Windows Phone pitched at people who think they're going to buy an Android phone next. The colors and design are more understated; the hardware is thinner and lighter, and arguably just as impressive as the HTC One or the iPhone. Our complaints about the Windows Phone ecosystem still stand, and we don't see that changing much in the next six months. Despite that, Nokia has improved on the software to ensure that while the Lumia 925 stands out from the rest of the series at launch, all of its smartphones will benefit from notable improvements like the Glance screen and the Smart Camera app. It's good news for Lumia phone owners, but makes the 925 a trickier sell over the 920, which is now £150 cheaper off-contract in the UK. Not to mention, the extra storage and built-in contactless charging you're losing when you choose the 925 instead. Additionally, there's yet another shadow hanging over the 925: EOS. Nokia has unabashedly used its imaging pedigree as a major selling point, and we've constantly pointed towards the loss less zoom-capable 808 PureView camera sensor as what we want to see on its Windows Phones. The rumors suggest we're swiftly approaching its arrival and we'd recommend readers wait and see exactly what Nokia's got planned before putting down money for the Lumia 925".



All About Windows Phone Mr. Rafe Blandford his review says that another new software feature is Nokia Glance Screen, essentially that’s an always-on clock. Very useful when you get the phone out your pocket, you can immediately see the time.  Mr. Rafe also takes us on a whirlwind brief of all of the immediately obvious features and designs, which also includes an exclusive Nokia feature not available on any other Windows Phone 8 smartphone.  The Lumia 925 is also the first device to ship with Windows Phone GDR2 and the Lumia Amber software update, so it offers the first opportunity for us to assess the latest updates to the Windows Phone platform.



Trusted Reviews Mr. Andrew Williams in his review says that the reason to favor them over Google Maps is that they let you download whole countries, or continents to use offline. Roaming charges begone. He writes about how the Nokia Lumia 925 is much lighter than the Lumia 920, and that’s due to the lighter aluminium frame.


 
Neowin Mr. Andy int he view that the smooth aluminum frame of Lumina 925 is as good to touch as it is to look at, while the matte polycarbonate rear ensures a luxurious feel. The Lumia 925 doesn’t just look good; it feels good, it feels expensive, it feels like a handset that you want to show off. He brings to attention the AMOLED screen and the fact that it’s HD, providing beautiful colours, with crisp fonts and images. 

He also say that the cover is a perfect fit, easy to attach and (relatively) easy to remove - but it certainly adds some heft to the device. The covers are incredibly light though, so at least they don't add much weight. With the cover on, the handset still feels perfectly comfortable to hold and use normally, but it certainly takes away some of the elegance of its design. 


Gsmarena in their opinion all others have moved to quad-core Kraits, 13 megapixel cameras and 1080p screens - hardware that is yet to be supported by Windows Phone. The limitations of the Microsoft platform might prove costly for the Nokia Lumia 925, which while packing the best specs in its own camp, looks decidedly inferior compared to the latest crop of Android powerhouses.

Then again, improving on an already solid shooter might be enough to make the Nokia Lumia 925 relevant. Windows Phone 8 matures quickly and as its Store gets filled with more and more apps, it's becoming a viable alternative to many users, who wouldn't have even considered it back when the Lumia 920 was released. And if you are still sitting on a fence, then the best OIS-enabled camera on the market, coupled with a great AMOLED screen might be more than enough to nudge you in the direction of the latest Finnish flagship.

Google Play edition HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 First Look


The "Stock Android" HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 known as the new "Google Play edition" devices.  They seem to have everything you could ask for: fast processors, gigantic and beautiful screens, LTE, and (mostly) great hardware design. But like their predecessors, they also come with a lot of extra software you probably didn’t ask for.

The Google Play editions are running Android 4.2.2 (Build JDQ39). Home screens and launchers and notifications are unchanged from what we're used to in Jelly Bean, so far as we can tell in the first 24 hours. (Update: Ah. The app drawer has moved to a 4-by-5 configuration, same as the Galaxy Nexus.


Google found a way to get HTC and Samsung to offer those same phones without their so-called “skins.”  On the Galaxy S4, the carrier logo and the "Galaxy S4" logo have been replaced by a simple, single "Samsung" logo on the back. HTC’s "beatsaudio" logo remains, as this stock edition supports it.


Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One can now be purchased without their respective manufacturer customizations for $649 and $599, respectively.

On the Galaxy S4, the carrier logo and the "Galaxy S4" logo have been replaced by a simple, single "Samsung" logo on the back. HTC’s "beats audio" logo remains, as this stock edition supports it.  The Galaxy S4 has Google Wallet and Google Earth pre installed. The HTC One does not.

Sony has just made official its Xperia Z Ultra phablet, previously known by its codename Togari. The device features a 6.4" monstrous screen and a Snapdragon 800 chipset, which is the fastest ARM chip put in a smartphone to date.  The Sony Xperia Z Ultra Triluminous screen has 1080p resolution, giving it a nicely sounding 344ppi pixel density. It uses Sony's OptiContrast and X-Reality tech, which it's the successor of the Mobile BRAVIA tech.

Essentially, you can use the phone to take full-HD videos underwater with its 8-megapixel camera. The Z Ultra doesn't come with the 13-megapixel shooter for the Z, but the lower megapixel count could indicate better low-light shots  It is powered with Android 4.2, it's the first handset from Sony Mobile to launch with the latest version of Jelly Bean.

Apart from LTE connectivity, the handset also packs Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi and screen mirroring. It will come with 2GB RAM, 16GB of onboard storage, and has a microSD card slot for expandability. A large embedded 3,000mAh battery completes the package.


Sony Z Ultra uses the same OmniBalance design as the Xperia Z, including the tempered glass back, but adds a metal frame along the sides and at 6.5mm it's even slimmer than the hot-looking smartphone. It's water-resistant too with a IP58 certification, same as the Xperia ZR. Unlike the IP57 of the Xperia Z, this certification allows the Xperia Z Ultra to dive deeper than 1m and stay there for longer.

 Sony Xperia Z Ultra Spec & Features

  • Colors: Black, white, purple 
  • Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 2.2GHz quad-core CPU

Huawei’s Ascend P6 is a remarkable device. Elegant and edgy, the new HUAWEI Ascend P6 is the world’s slimmest smartphone. at just 6.18mm thin it turns heads in a way that no other phone in its £21-5 per month price range can. Made entirely of glass and steel, there’s distinctly something of the iPhone 4 or 4S about it, with a black edge on a silver frame.


This new model is now the flagship smartphone in Huawei's Ascend P series. Earlier this year, Huawei launched its Ascend P2 phone, which at the time the company called the "world's fastest smartphone."

Karbonn Titanium S6 is coming in July 2013 Specs & Features

The Karbonn Titanium S6 will be launched in the second week of July and more importantly it will have a price tag of under Rs 20,000. The S6 will ship with Android Jelly Bean (either 4.1 or 4.2) and will come with a stylus, like the Galaxy Note series. Instead of going for a MediaTek chip, Karbonn said the S6 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC; however, there’s no mention of which processor and GPU combination it is likely to be.   


It is an Android-based smartphone, in the form of S6 Titanium, which should land on shelves as a response to the recently teased Micromax Canvas 4, and July appears to be the lucky month for enthusiasts. 


Running under Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, the new mobile phone should be launched sometime in the second week of July with a price tag of less than Rs 20,000 ($346 / €260), Pradeep Jain, managing director of Karbonn Mobiles, reportedly said.

The phone is said to hit shelves with a 5-inch touchscreen display capable of a full HD resolution, and is also expected to include a quad-core processor inside.  The handset should arrive on the market with 1GB of RAM, Dual-SIM capabilities, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi tethering, Bluetooth connectivity, and the like. On the back, it is said to feature an 8-megapixel or 13-megapixel photo snapper, paired with a 3MP front camera to enable its users to make video calls while on the go. 



Specs and Features of Karbonn Titanium S6:

To start with, Karbonn Titanium S6 smartphone comes with the 5 inches of HD Screen along with the thin bezel and with lesser thickness. This smartphone will be coming up with the Quad Core Processor along with the 13MP of Camera and 2-5MP of front facing camera. In terms of standard connectivity options, this device will be coming with Wi Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and A-GPS option. We are not having exact specs and features of this phone but we have mentioned below the rough specs which are compiled after referring fellow blogs and speculations.
  • 5 inched Full HD Screen,
  • 2GB RAM,
  • 13MP Rear Facing Camera,
  • 2-5MP of Front Camera,
  • Wi Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0,
  • Internal Memory of 8 /16GB
Overall, the new device should prove a nice upgrade over the Karbonn S5 Titanium handset, which was released with a 5-inch multi-touch qHD display, a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean on top out of the box. 

HTC Desire 200 Specs and Features Ultra Affordable Android Phone with 1GHz Speed


A new HTC Android smartphone, Desire 200 ,targeted at the budget segment, has made an online appearance in a video even before its launch.  The phone features a 3.5-inch LCD screen that has a resolution of 320x480 pixels. It's powered by a 1GHz single-core processor and will have 512MB of RAM. It will come with 4GB internal storage expandable via microSD card and a 1400 mAh battery. The rear camera on the phone would have a 5-megapixel resolution and does not appear to come with a flash. The phone in the video runs Android  4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich but it's expected that it would come with Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) or later when it launches. It will feature HTC's Sense UI layer on top.

Specs and Features of HTC Desire 200:


HTC Desire 200 device comes with 3.5inches of Screen Size and 1GHz of Single Core Processor. The only issue at present is that this seem to come with the Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0.4 OS and not with the latest Jellybean 4.1 / 4.2 Android OS. The best part is the pricing, this device will be placed in the low cost segment and in India there are not many devices which are priced in this segment. It will not only be a challenge for HTC but also will be a huge opportunity for HTC when it comes to sell this smartphone. We have summed up the list of features below;
  • 3.5 inched WVGA Screen,
  • 1GHz Single Core Processor,
  • ICS Android 4.0.4 OS,
  • 5MP Camera,
  • 512MB RAM,
  • 4GB Internal Memory,
  • 1400mAH Battery
 Judging by the phone's specifications, the HTC Desire 200 appears to be an entry-level Android smartphone. The screen resolution and the phone's 512MB RAM would definitely limit its appeal in a world where smartphone prices are on a decline and hardware specifications are receiving a bump.

The HTC Desire (codenamed Bravo) is the first smartphone of the Desire series developed by HTC. It was announced on 16 February 2010 and released in Europe and Australia in the second quarter of the same year. The HTC Desire was launched with Android 2.1 Eclair but can be upgraded to 2.2 Froyo or 2.3 Gingerbread Internally it bears a strong resemblance to the Nexus One, but differs in some features.
