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 the smartphone Nokia Lumia 525. Feedback on the model, its technical characteristics, as well as advantages and disadvantages will be described in this article.
Let's start, perhaps, with the fact that the phone 525 seriesis the direct heir of the model 520, which once became one of the most sold in the lineup of Lumia. This is simply explained - the phone has good technical equipment, attractive design and at the same time an affordable price, which gives reason 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.
Just Nokia Lumia 525, reviews about which will bea 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.
All surveys are usually started with a description of the externaltype of device, its design. So let's do this time too. Externally, the smartphone Nokia Lumia 525 (reviews this is confirmed) looks pretty bright and vivid. This is not surprising, because the body of the device has removable colored 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 quality of the hull assembly can be called acceptable.In some recommendations, buyers specify that they noticed a backlash between panels (or rather - 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.
The model has a 4-inch display, developed on abased on IPS technology. Due to this, the 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.
Good news is the use on the deviceA 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.
"Heart" NokiaLumia 525 Yellow reviews are calleda fairly bright 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 the developers explain, this is achievedaccount for 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.
In general, if you believe in 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 of you andinterested, but to evaluate the real work of the camera smartphone should be based on reviews of 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.
The device, as we all understand, works under theoperating 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 understandable 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 began moving further, releasing the 9th and 10th generations of Windows.
Of course, there will always be supporters of Android oriOS, 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.
Nokia Lumia 525 White (owner reviewsnote 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 is enough 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.
What can be the Nokia Lumia 525 Yellow reviews?On 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 the average 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 camera phone -yes, it really still needs improvement. 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 differs 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.
If we talk about the smartphone in terms ofleft by buyers of reviews, then there are no complaints about it as a whole. At its price, the model clearly refers to the budget class of smartphones, which also features cheap Chinese Android devices. However, due to the more optimized operation of the 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 thatinstalls Windows on your offspring. This really matters, because we appreciate 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 did not work withLumia earlier, 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 test 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.
