back to article New Lumia 925: This, loyalists, is the BIG ONE you've waited for

Today, Nokia launched its best smartphone to date: the Lumia 925. I got some hands-on time with the Windows Phone 8-powered device - and a tour of the gadget by shoegaze icon Nokia senior veep of product management Kevin Shields, who explained some of the key design decisions. It's a covetable bit of kit - but with iPhones and …

      They added a whole extra camera lens - wow!

      They should have released it at the same time as the 920 and just made it the option that doesn't have QI.

    This is getting ridiculous. Nokia either just don't get it or their design team need some sort of cathartic release. Yet again we see another sexy piece of hardware from Nokia that is handicapped with an OS that no one really wants.

    Elop will be out on his ass by the end of the year. Taking his MSGR exclusivity agreement with him.

        Talk about seeing what you want to. While I won't touch on the impartiality of wmpoweruser.com, Windows Phone may have the highest growth %, but based on that un-sourced table, Windows Phone sold 1.4 million more phones compared to the previous quarter, whereas Android sold 13.7 million more phones than the previous quarter.

        So while Windows Phone may have 27% growth, they still sold 12.3 million less units than Android between Q4 and Q1.

          2009 Nokia sold 100 million Symbian smartphones.

          2010 Nokia sold 134 million Symbian smartphones.

          So that was a net increase of 34 million and year over year growth of 34%. So for the past two years Nokia hasn't even been able to come close to that additional 34 million got all Lumia models combined. If Symbian was a burning platform, what is WP? Symbian had more of a future than WP ever will.

        "Windows Phone the fastest growing OS sequentially"

        It's easy to grow the fastest when you come from a very low base.

        WinPho with a 27% growth rate = increase of 1.4m quarter-on-quarter.

        Android with a 9% growth rate = increase of 13.7m quarter-on-quarter.

        Look at the Q12013 numbers Android was shipped on 163.5m phones, while WinPho was shipped on 6.5m phone. So for every person that bought a WinPho, 25 others bought an Android. Like I said, no-one is really that interested in WinPho and it's been that case for some time now.

        Elop will be out by the end of the year and his MSFT exclusivity agreement will be thrown out with him.

        Windows Phone 8, has the same issue as Windows Phone 7 for me. Microsoft seem to like causing clipping atefacts. For example:

        The screensaving clock can appear partially off screen and to indicate there is a scroll page to the left they show you the first character/part of the right hand page (but not the left). This drives me nuts, I love the different approach and every windows phone is as slick as butter but the fact puts me right off.

        I have noticed a certain attitude which is good for Nokia/Microsoft, my little sisters has had problems with the wireless charging, bluetooth and the wifi (two replacement units). So far all her rage has been at O2 rather than the poorly working units. Where as the slightest problem on her Nexus S was always Googles fault. I've seen this was the 3 people I know with WP8 phones.

        Another problem with Windows 8 phones is how identical they all are, MS need to let manufacturers have a little more flexibility with the form factor. I've seen people get disapointed that their new andriod phone still has the same user interface. Windows Phone 7/8 phones are really quite close in appearence which I think will put people off upgrading.

      Actually its the other way around. A pretty decent piece of software running on a county, plasticky poorly build lump of hardware.

      I was thinking of buying a 920 until I picked one up. Overweight and flimsy at the same time -- quite an achievement.

    So, same processor, memory, battery, software as the 920. No SD card or removable battery or Xenon flash like the 920...and they've removed wireless charging (except by buying an add on?)

    No, not what I was waiting for to upgrade my N8, was hoping for the rumoured Lumia EOS with a proper Pureview lens, HDMI out and FM transmitter with expandable storage.

        Re: Not what I was waiting for

        Me too - I was expecting a true Windows Pureview phone and naturally expected it to be superior to my current 808 Pureview. Prior to the 808 I had the N8.

        Nokia pushed Symbian to be extremely usable (and I'd say - still - superior in many ways to Android and iOS) in its latter phones such as the N8 and 808.

        I don't have an irrational "hatred" of MS, but based on the recent hype expected a true successor to the 808 from an OS that is still I think, a beta or incomplete (for a 2013 mobile OS) product.

        I was extremely disappointed that I was unable to buy the Meego powered N9 in the UK (or anywhere other than Timbuktu or the dark side of the moon) and that Nokia abandoned what was a very promising platform.

        I wonder where Nokia and its ecosystem would now be had Meego not been abandoned.

          I'll 2nd that. The N8 is my first ever symbian phone and it just works - fantastic battery life, solid design, and has enough decent apps it can be used on the car console (sweet driving mode+maps).

          My N9 is lovely too (from Malayasia apparently), but battery life is not even close to the N8. Screen is wonderful, and the linux is reassuring. You can hit an icon and broadcast the phone to your desktop, social media etc..

      Can we get OS choices anytime soon, Nokia?

      You're like a restaurant offering a single dish. These are modern times, people like choice and they don't like to downgrade their software options. There are no onsite CAD and measurement taking apps on windows, there are no Pro-level audio recording, sequencing, synthesis apps on Windows the list of not available stuff goes on and on. Some of the app types they do claim to have 'available' are so barebones, they don't deserve the name.

      Some people say: "soon they will have the same quality apps as iOS and Android" That'll be great, but "soon" is certainly no reason to buy a device now, cause it'll be discontinued long before the great apps happen there.

      No replaceable battery and no SD slot is also a downgrade. A terminal downgrade.

      And while I don't like Samsung completely dominating the industry, they dominate because they actually read what people want and build their products accordingly, offering things like SD slots and replaceable batteries of high capacity and a variety of operating systems. Samsung is like a big bakery, any size or flavor of bread or cake you want, they probably have it.

    Once you have no SD card and a sealed battery, then WTF are they doing not making it waterproof?

    Considering the times I have had to remove the battery to reset my HTC phone, and the rapid demise of an iPhone with water (as you can't get the battery out to give it a chance to dry our before electrolysis destroys it) this is a big deal.

    Yes, I know Nokia is not the only one doing this, but if you are making the device effectively sealed, then do it properly!

      Two of the three waterproof Sony phones (Xperia Go and ZR) have replaceable batteries - they just employ a rubbery seal around the battery compartment... the compromise tends to be on loudspeaker quality.

      Sodcasting in a pub or bus is nasty, but for spoken-word radio or podcasts a built-in speaker is handy. YMMV.

    For different folks, I guess. I read so much about the Galaxy's "cheap plasticky construction" but I'm very happy with my S3's construction precisely for the reasons that seem to be dismissed as of less worth than "luxury engineering" - its replaceable battery and expandable storage. Give me a plastic shell that comes apart to allow swapping out a battery and a microSD slot over a shiny metal unibody ANY DAY. I hope that Samsung keeps bucking the trend for a while longer, so that when I replace my S3, I can do so with a phone that still offers both a replaceable battery and expandable storage.

      Re: Different strokes

      I've got a luxurious iPhone 5, made out of premium materials such as aluminium and glass, and I spit on you peasants with your plastic phones!

      Unfortunately due to the violent action of doing this, the stupid slippery piece of crap just slid out of my hand and smashed into a million pieces on the concrete floor. Although I suppose it's an improvement on the iPhones 4 and 4S with the even sillier glass back. Because putting a pointlessly easily fragile surface material where it's not needed to look good is apparently genius design...

      As it happens, the problem is easily solved by putting a rubber bumper on it, or using a case. But I'm not a fan of the iPhone designs since the 3S, which was a much more 'hand friendly' shape.

      I think my favourite was the HTC Desire (and other models for a while after) with the all metal construction for toughness, but that rubberised stuff on the back where your hand goes to make it non-slippy and also warmer when you're holding it in winter. I also agree with you on the SD card - although companies could get round that by giving you extra storage. 16GB as the only option is ridiculous.

    Why? I know lots of people with Samsungs and they never swap the battery. Why? Because you have to:

    1. pre-charging the spare battery

    2. powering the phone down,

    3. swapping the battery,

    4. booting it up again and

    5. relaunching the app you were using...

    ...which is far more hassle that carrying a wall charger or car charger. Unless you are going on an expedition to the dark ages, you will always find a power-socket.

    The SD card slot - May be. But the battery? After a 2 year contract you get a new phone anyway.

      It seems we have different definitions of "hassle". I always have a battery pre-charged, and swapping batteries takes me, with one hand's usability significantly impaired by CP-induced hemiparesis, less than ten seconds. That's less hassle for me than having to find a socket, especially since I don't drive and thus don't own a car (buying one just use as a charger would be too much hassle, I think).

        ...But you still have to pre-charge the other battery, which *is* hassle. Just saying that "I always have a battery pre-charged" kind of hides the extra hassle of managing more that one battery, I think.

        Also I'm guessing that it's actually more that 10 second to change a phone battery if you include power-down/power-up/relaunch. More like 30 seconds on a good day.

        You don't have to pre-charge a charger.

    Toys

    The phone looks less like a toy than the other hideously coloured plastic Luminas, shame the OS is still the same bright coloured child's blocks.

    Nice phone, pity about the UI

    ....just what I've felt with Lumia (granted, 820).

    Upgraded to 4-year-old HTC with Android after a month or so with Lumia. Great hardware, lovely camera, bright screen.... but everything software is backwards:

    - can't get a good free ebook reader

    - no file browser

    - you must use skydrive to store your stuff

    - if yiou get multiple apps for the same thing, each app downloads a separate copy of the file (if it manages to be compatible with it in the first place)

    So it's back to Android and Aldiko, thankyouverymuch

    It's very sad what's become of Nokia

    Nokia clearly still have some first-rate engineering skills, it's just such a shame that they have hamstrung themselves by allowing their business to become locked to MIcrosoft.

    Tiles.

    As for the tiles, I find they work pretty well as a touchscreen UI. That's about one of the two or three things that are good about WP8.

    "...I'd like to have MicroSD expansion. But the compromise wasn't worth it,"

    Depends whether you want to sell any or not. I might have bought one, but for that.

    Now, I wonder how much of that omission was down to design considerations and how much was due to commercial considerations? Put it this way; I doubt Vodafone would have kicked in quite so much for an exclusive deal on the 32Gb version, if the punters could just buy the 16 anywhere and whack in as much additional storage as they wanted.

    Also Apple should sue. I'm sure that removing any expansion capabilities, so you can fleece punters by charging an eye-watering price for every additional gigabyte, is their IP.

    Wireless charging

    I hope this isn't a direction nokia is taking... I have found the ease of charging my phone really rather pleasing... yes, its not hard to poke a micro usb cable in, but at night or at my desk, if I want to pick up the phone I just do... there isn't a mess of lead to snag, or deal with...

    and the wireless jacket, Christ on a bike! way to murder a lovely design!

    add an SD card slot, load it with stock Android 4.2 and then bundle Nokia's own goodies like public transport info and off-line satnav etc and I suspect Nokia wouldn't be able to make them fast enough. The problem is WP8 - good or bad Joe Public really doesn't seem to give a toss about it.

    my bloody valentine

    A review of Nokia's recent history by My Bloody Valentine Songs:

    2)Can I Touch You?

    3)Isn't Anything

    4)Off Your Face

    5)To who knows when?

    6)Soon

    Ends on an optimistic note which may be misguided.

    Dream Nokia

    Nokia 6230.

    Add 3/4G, include tethering, upgrade the bluetooth and switch the damned MMC slot for micro SD. You'd have a phone with a half-life of probably at least two centuries which is small enough to carry everywhere and you don't have to worry about dropping or benchmarking it's O/S.

    I'll get my coat.....
