Design, screen
The appearance of the Nokia Lumia 925 continues the tradition of the Lumia line, but brings with it a fresh sensation. So, for the first time in this family of our smartphones, metal has become the main material, and a polycarbonate panel perfectly complements the aluminum base.
The color scheme of the model this time was chosen elegant and neutral: Nokia Lumia 925 is presented in white, gray and black. It is these strict colors that look best with metal and give the smartphone a single, consistent appearance. And fans of brighter colors will be able to change the look of the new product thanks to additional accessories, for example, removable panels with the function of wireless charging.
The smartphone has received a new bright laminated AMOLED display, which offers excellent visibility in the sun. At the same time, the Nokia Lumia 925 has become thinner (2.2 mm) than its predecessor, the Nokia Lumia 920.
Housing
One of the main tasks in creating the Lumia 925 was to achieve a thin body - and we managed to cope with this thanks to the successful combination of materials. The smartphone consists of two parts: a monolithic aluminum base and a polycarbonate lining that protects the enclosed components. The metal part of the case was used not only for the sake of a spectacular appearance, it also carries a functional load - it accommodates the device’s antenna. Plus, the all-metal base gives additional reliability and durability to the slim body without weighing down the smartphone.
The polycarbonate cover is perfectly matched, and the transition from the metal edging to the pleasant to the touch polycarbonate is almost imperceptible.
The case of Nokia Lumia 925 is machined from a single piece of aluminum, and then filled with "stuffing".
Additional panels that allow you to charge the Nokia Lumia 925 using wireless charging, as well as change the appearance of the model, will be sold separately - in yellow, red, white and black colors. To connect them on the back of the smartphone made special contacts, as well as in the Nokia Lumia 720.
Camera
Particular attention when creating the Nokia Lumia 925 was paid to the process of photo and video shooting in both day and night lighting. For this, we had to work on both the technical equipment and the improvement of the software model.
The 8.7-megapixel camera Nokia Lumia 925 is equipped with autofocus, equipped with a powerful dual LED flash, can record video in 1080 HD format with a frame rate of 30 fps and uses image stabilization technology (OIS). The front camera has a 1.2 MP widescreen HD sensor.
By the way, thanks to the progress of miniaturization, the Nokia Lumia 925 camera module now holds 6 lenses in itself, which makes it possible to increase the picture clarity without increasing the module itself - it remains the same size as in the Nokia Lumia 920. We will tell about the camera module in our next posts.
Nokia Smart Camera
Lumia 925 is the first device in the line that supports Nokia Smart Camera mode. This mode allows you to take a series of 10 shots, and then edit with the help of pre-installed tools: Best Shot, Change Faces, Action Shot, Motion Focus and Remove Moving Objects. Nokia Smart Camera has no hidden tools and settings, switching between tools is done by simply flipping the screens. Best Shot and Change Faces are already familiar to us, and we will tell you more about the three new tools.
Action Shot (Motion Shot)
The option selects a moving object and combines images of the series into one to create a unique effect. But these possibilities are not limited to; in the manual adjustment mode, one of the movement phases can be distinguished more clearly, and the rest can be made translucent. Especially this feature should appeal to fans of extreme sports.
Motion Focus (Focusing on a moving object)
The emphasis on movement is the main purpose of this option. The moving object is brought to the foreground, and the background is blurred, creating the effect of the swiftness of what is happening.
Remove Moving Objects
Thanks to this function, unnecessary objects can be removed from the frame, for example, at the wrong time of a person passing by. No more spoiled frames!
All the listed tools are available from the Nokia Smart Camera interface and can be applied both immediately and when you re-edit a photo, the smartphone saves all the necessary data. In addition, the mode can be set as the default application for pressing the camera call button.
Lumia amber upgrade
The above new features of the software will be available not only on the new Nokia Lumia 925 , but over time will come in the form of an update Lumia Amber to all compatible devices of the family. So, the owners of Nokia Lumia 920, 928 and 820 will get the same Nokia Smart Camera features as the owners of Lumia 925.
The same features of the new shooting mode will be available on Lumia 520, 620 and 720 devices, but with a smaller number of frames (8 frames) and a reduced resolution of the image in the series.
In addition, we have improved the function of shooting in low light, enhanced noise suppression when shooting, and the color rendition has become even more natural.
Of course, Nokia Lumia 925 is preinstalled with exclusive Nokia services, which make our smartphones different from others. In the device you will find the HERE navigation package, and the Nokia Music service will be available for free, with the possibility of listening without restriction.
