New from Nokia: Lumia 925

MANILA, Philippines - Nokia has introduced the Nokia Lumia 925, a new interpretation of its award-winning flagship, the Nokia Lumia 920.

The Nokia Lumia 925 introduces a metal design and showcases the latest PureView camera innovation, new features and third-party applications coming to the Nokia Lumia range.

The Nokia Lumia 925 includes the most advanced lens technology and next-generation imaging software to capture clearer, sharper pictures and video, including the best low-light images.

The Nokia Lumia 925 also introduces the new Nokia Smart Camera mode, coming as an update to all Lumia Windows Phone 8 smartphones.

Nokia Smart Camera offers an easy way to capture 10 images at once and edit the pictures with options like Best Shot, Action Shot, and Motion Focus for creating the perfect high-quality image.

Nokia also announced that Hipstamatic’s new app, Oggl, will arrive on Nokia Lumia smartphones, allowing people to take and share high-quality pictures with like-minded creatives and photography enthusiasts from around the world. 

In addition to sharing photos on Oggl, users can simultaneously share photos on social networks, including Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Instagram, Tumblr, and Flickr.

“We keep innovating,” said Jo Harlow, executive vice president of Nokia Smart Devices. “We are advancing experiences on the Nokia Lumia portfolio, whether that means great new benefits for an existing Lumia owner or bringing new showcase devices like the Nokia Lumia 925.”

The Nokia Lumia 925 introduces metal for the first time to the Nokia Lumia range, bringing appeal and unique benefits like increased robustness. The polycarbonate back comes in white, gray or black.

A wireless charging cover can be clipped onto the back of the phone to take advantage of Nokia’s extensive wireless charging accessories and ecosystem. Covers, sold separately, come in white, black, yellow, and red.

Leading Nokia services, such as the HERE suite of integrated location and navigation services and Nokia Music for unlimited streaming of free music playlists, add to the great proposition offered by Nokia’s latest smartphone.

The Nokia Lumia 925 is being introduced in Europe with Vodafone, along with other operator and retail partners.

Patrick Chomet, group director of Terminals at Vodafone, said, “The new Nokia Lumia 925 is a sleek and sophisticated smartphone delivering great performance and outstanding imaging. We look forward to offering the Nokia Lumia 925 across our markets on Vodafone Red, as well as other tariffs, enabling customers to make the most of their new smartphone on Vodafone’s fast and reliable network.”

“Vodafone customers will also have exclusive access to a 32GB version of the Nokia Lumia 925, giving them even more capacity to store all their content for personal and business use,” Chomet said.

Terry Myerson, corporate vice president of Microsoft Windows Phone Division, said, “Together with Nokia, we continue to change the way people think about smartphone cameras. The work Nokia has done with the Lumia 925 further enhances the imaging capabilities of the Lumia smartphones.”

In addition to Europe, the Nokia Lumia 925 will be introduced in the United States by T-Mobile and China by China Mobile and China Unicom.

Sales are expected to start in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain and China this month, followed by the US and a number of other markets.
