Smartphone Nokia Lumia 525 - reviews

Smartphones from Nokia have always been famous for their bright design and interesting, attractive style. The object of our today's review is no exception.

We bring to your attention the budget model of Nokia Lumia 525 smartphone. Feedback about the model, its technical characteristics, as well as advantages and disadvantages will be described in this article.

Heir

Let's start, perhaps, with the fact that the phone 525 series is the direct heir of the model 520, which once became one of the most sold in the lineup of Lumia. This is explained simply: the phone has good technical equipment, attractive design and at the same time an affordable price, which makes it possible to attribute it to the "student" class of devices for young people. Yes, and the operating system Windows Phone, which still remains a "bold decision" in the market due to its relative unpopularity, makes it possible to risk and try something new.

Simply Nokia Lumia 525, reviews of which will be a little further, slightly improved, improved and released with a new serial code. At the same time, the device did not change its price class and the general concept of the "youth" device. And how successful the developers have been able to do it, read on.

Body Design

All reviews are taken to begin with a description of the appearance of the device, its design. So we will do this time too. Externally, the Nokia Lumia 525 smartphone (reviews confirm this) looks pretty bright and vivid. This is not surprising, because the body of the device has removable color panels of yellow, orange and white colors. With their help, you can individualize the look of your phone - and this is clearly a winning approach from Nokia. What else attracts the appearance of the smartphone, so it's gloss. Design Nokia Lumia 525 (reviews say this) is similar to some kind of candy.

The build quality of the case can be called acceptable. In some recommendations, buyers specify that they noticed a backlash between the panels (or more precisely - the lid and the base of the case). However, this phenomenon, apparently, does not apply to all devices: some phones are assembled fairly tightly. The material from which the model is assembled is dense plastic.

Device screen

The model has a 4-inch display, developed on the basis of IPS technology. Due to this picture on the phone is transmitted such that its quality can be compared with the image on inexpensive Chinese Android-phones. The resolution of Nokia Lumia 525 (user reviews call it normal) is 480 by 800 pixels. Of course, when you look closely at the display, you will notice "granularity", but in everyday life you get used to it.

The pleasant news is the use on the device of a system that allows you to work with your phone even with gloves. This is due to some modern technology that gives the device "super sensitivity". For residents of the northern regions, this thing really seems useful.

Snapdragon processor

"Heart" NokiaLumia 525 Yellow reviews are called a fairly smart Snapdragon S4 with a clock frequency of 1 GHz. This is enough to ensure that the device responds promptly to user's touch, does not hang and does not hang even when playing complex programs and colorful games.

As explained by the developers, this is achieved through a special technology of asynchronous operation. This mechanism allows you to organize the maximum return from the processor with a minimum battery charge. And besides, with this kind of work, the Nokia Lumia 525 smartphone, which we reviewed about, does not heat up. Unlike some Android phones.

Camera

In general, if you believe the technical documentation, the device is equipped with a 5-megapixel main camera, capable of taking pictures with a 4-fold increase. There is also autofocus with a step-by-step double pressing of a key. In addition to photos, the Nokia Lumia 525 (reviews about the quality of shooting, though not the most flattering) can also create videos. As noted by manufacturers, it is allowed to shoot video as 720p (which means actually HD-format).

Perhaps such characteristics are of interest to you, but to evaluate the real work of the smartphone camera should be based on feedback from live users. And they, as already noted, are far from the best. In general, this is a common problem of Lumia-smartphones of budget class: the quality of photos and video on them leaves much to be desired, if we talk about clear and colorful pictures.

However, there is a "Panorama" mode, there is a flash - in general, everything is not so already bad for personal use.

Software

The device, as we all understand, operates under the operating system Windows Phone. As indicated in the instructions to it, the device is installed 8-th version of this OS, which is stable, a wide range of applications and a fairly convenient and intuitive interface. Due to this, it would be wrong to say anything bad in her direction - this system already showed itself well in its time, so Microsoft started moving further, releasing the 9th and 10th generation of Windows.

Of course, there will always be supporters of Android or iOS, claiming that WP is extremely inconvenient and uncomfortable for everyday use. However, believe me, working with the phone, you will stop noticing it in a week. You can get used to this easily enough.

Other Features

Nokia Lumia 525 White (reviews of owners note that this color is for some reason the most popular) also has a wide range of additional functions and features, which should be mentioned in this review. Well, let's start looking for them first in the technical description. These are various modules - Bluetooth, Wifi, GPS; As well as software add-ons like HERE cards, SkyDrive cloud storage (7 GB), Office suite, various business software and other services from Windows Phone. In this regard, Nokia Lumia 525 Yellow (reviews confirm this) is of particular interest to those who have never encountered this platform before.

You can also mention the battery of the phone. As already noted, the smartphone's processor works in some special mode, which regulates the activity of the nuclei, which lowers the charge consumption. This leads to the fact that the machine can work with Wifi connection for 7.5 hours. Also on the Nokia Lumia 525 Orange testimonials indicate that the phone lasts for 16 hours of operation in 2G networks and 11 for the 3G connection. It should be said that these are quite good indicators, considering the small battery capacity - only 1430 mAh.

Reviews

What can be Nokia Lumia 525 Yellow reviews? About the phone, the cost of which clearly does not exceed the average price in the budget class? For your money, a smartphone is just a great solution. It has a tolerable technical stuffing that allows you to perform tasks that are faced by an ordinary user. The phone also has a fast response - and the buyer is extremely pleased, especially those who are used to working with "braking" smartphones.

Negative feedback is directed to the phone's camera - yes, it really does need further work. Perhaps the developers just decided to save on equipment (lenses, matrix) - it's hard to say. Another thing that some customers do not like is a new operating system for someone. Windows Phone is different from the usual OS, due to what sometimes causes a lot of misunderstanding from the ardent Android and iOS-fans. But it's okay, and you can get used to it.

In all other respects, most reviews come to the conclusion that the device is worth its money and is pretty enjoyable at work.

Overall Impression

If we talk about the smartphone from the point of view of the feedback left by the buyers, then there are no censures for it as a whole. At its price, the model clearly refers to the budget class of smartphones, in which cheap Chinese Android-devices are also present. True, due to the more optimized operation of hardware on the Windows operating system, the phone behaves much more vividly - and the Nokia Lumia 525 features, the reviews confirm this. Thus, we get a worthy alternative to already bored devices from the Middle Kingdom, which looks more attractive and fresh.

It also attracts a lot of programs that install Windows on your brainchild. This really matters, because we evaluate the work with a smartphone not so much on the body or camera as on the impression of daily use - how much your device can solve your problems, how quickly it performs certain tasks, and so on. Such trifles create the most vivid impression, and we can confidently say that thanks to the efforts of the developers of WP Lumia 525 in this matter does not lag behind competitors.

Therefore, in general, the conclusion is that - if you have not worked with Lumia before, it's worth a try. This is a bright, multifunctional and inexpensive smartphone, which obviously has potential. At least, many regular users of Nokia devices claim that after a small sample they became real fans of this operating system and phones that are released in the line of Lumia. So there is definitely some sense in this.
