The Lumia 925, which will take over from the Lumia 920 as Nokia’s flagship product, was unveiled at a global launch event in London on May 14.
It is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapgragon processor and runs the Windows Phone 8 operating system. It has an aluminium body, the first time a Lumia smartphone has been made from metal.

The camera features ‘Nokia Smart Camera’ mode, which enables users to capture 10 images and use options such as ‘Best Shot’, ‘Action Shot’ and ‘Motion Focus’ to edit and create the best shot.
Nokia will release this as a firmware update called ‘Nokia Lumia Amber’ to its entire Windows Phone 8 smartphone portfolio in the summer.
