Nokia Lumia 525 Review
Nokia has recently struggled to create an impact in different market niches. It has made some progress in the highest end phones while maintaining its feet in the budget phone market. Nokia came up with Nokia Lumia 520 that proved better than many budget Android phones, but users did not appreciate it a lot because of its minimum RAM and lack of camera features such as front camera and a flash light. These criticisms forced Nokia to release a new phone in form of Lumia 525 that seems like a successor to Lumia 520.
Lumia 525 Design and Quality
Lumia phones can be easily spotted in a crowded area with their bright colors. Lumia 525 comes in several colors and you can simply replace the back cover to the cover of your choice. The corners of Lumia 525 are sharp and in terms of size and weight the Lumia 525 is quite similar to Lumia 520.
The phone has a good grip in the hands and the buttons are placed on perfect places. Moreover, the buttons do not wobble and seem solid.
Hardware and Software
Lumia 525 has a 1GB RAM and comes with a 1GHz dual-core processor. The camera is still 5 megapixels but the phone still lacks flash. It has 8GB internal storage but it is extendable through memory cards. The phone is large enough to accommodate a 1430mAh battery which can suffice a day on moderate use. Some of the common apps that you will find in a Lumia 525 include Zinio, Nokia Beamer, Office and Xbox Games.
The debate of the apps selection in Windows as compared to Android still continues but it can be noticed that Windows is gradually increasing the app selection in its database. Most of the essential apps are already available in the Windows store, and more will follow.
Camera
Although Lumia 525 only comes with a 5 megapixel camera, the image quality is still quite impressive. The camera is able to capture great detail. Lumia 525 lacks flash but it is still able to take good pictures in low light surroundings.
Lumia 520 Performance
Lumia 525 is able to give the users satisfactory performance, but it is not something to be excited about. Loading apps takes some times but apart from it the phone runs smoothly without any lags. While playing some higher end games you might experience an occasional lag and graphical issues, but you should realize that Lumia 525 is not built for gaming.
Verdict
Lumia 525 is a budget phone that is affordable, economical and offers good value for money. The phone comes with decent camera features that were not present in Lumia 520. While Lumia 525 might fail to compete with Android phones in the same price range, it still looks competitive when it comes to design and functionality. Lumia 525 is best for those users who have been hardcore Nokia fans, or first time smartphone users. It is perfect for daily use that involves taking pictures, using social media and attending calls.
