Nokia lumia 925 review
Items appear on the homepage as ‘live tiles’, which you can resize and reorder to taste. Touch and hold an app for a few seconds and you can add it to your homepage. One swipe to the right takes you to a simple list, which arranges your apps in alphabetical order. The homepage is where you pin your favourite apps and contacts. Still, the HTC One is a more engaging listen, with better organisation and greater dynamic reach. It’s slightly more solid with bass, however. The Lumia 925 is similar to its predecessor when it comes to sound quality: there’s decent punch and dynamics with reasonable detail, though treble notes occasionally veer to brightness. It’s a sensible addition, and more natural than the ‘hover’ controls offered by the Samsung Galaxy S4. The Nokia has deeper blacks, but the HTC has more detail in dark areas.Įlsewhere, Nokia has added the ability to adjust the sensitivity of the screen, which allows you to swipe around with a fingernail or a gloved hand. The shading of colours is more subtle, and there is more texture on capes and beards. We watch a scene from Thor and the HTC has a sharper, crisper picture.

The HTC has the advantage of a Full HD, 1920 x 1080 resolution screen. HANDS ON: Huawei Ascend P6 review – world's thinnest smartphoneĬompared with the 4.7in screen of the HTC One, however, the Lumia 925 struggles. Changing this setting to ‘natural’, we were happy with the picture: still vibrant, but more realistic. The colour profile is set to ‘enhanced’ by default, which means the punchy colours on the Lumia 925 are a touch exaggerated. Blacks are inkily dark, making the 920 seem slightly washed out. It’s a bold picture with a lot of punch, immediately impressive and looking easily more vibrant than the Lumia 920. The IPS TFT panel, however, has been replaced with AMOLED. It’s a 4.5in display with a resolution of 1280 x 768. The screen of the Lumia 925 is largely similar to that on its predecessor.
