Nokia Lumia 525 Review

Nokia Lumia 525 is a bit outdated phone released back in 2013, including a medium sized 4" multi touch capacitive display, a good performance Dual-Core processing unit ticking at 1000 MHz and a 5 mega-pixels back camera. We will get a better idea about this phone's characteristics when we get into more details.

This cellphone is powered by a good performance Dual-Core processing unit clocking at 1000 MHz, bundled in the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8227 system chip and 1 GB RAM. Helping with graphic calculations, it also has an Adreno 305 graphic processing unit clocking at 450 MHz. The Nokia Lumia 525 has an 8 GB quite big internal memory and an SD memory slot, which allows the user to store a couple hundred apps without any trouble.

Nokia offers the Lumia 525 in lots of colors like black, yellow, red and white. This cellphone has an inspired design, with a thickness of just 0.39". It appears that Nokia forgot about optimizing the weight in this 4.37 oz phone.

The Lumia 525 is equipped with only a 5 mega-pixels back-facing camera. It is also able to film videos in HD 1280x720 at 30 frames per second. Additionally, the camera features auto-focus and geo tagging.

The Nokia Lumia 525 has a interesting 800 x 480 4" display, which makes all images and videos look colorful and brightful. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

The Nokia Lumia 525 includes wifi connection (which can be shared with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G HSPA+ internet connection, which is not as fast as LTE or LTE-A 4G networks and the fastest 3G connection type, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a Micro SIM card to use GSM services.

The Lumia 525 has a 1430 mAh medium removable battery that provides the Lumia 525 a poor battery durationcompared to other cellphones. This cellphone has a reported talk time of 16.9 hours and a stand by time of 336 hs according to Nokia.

This device also includes a couple of useful characteristics as Bluetooth (allows communication with other phones, computers and accessories) and GPS, and a few sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

This phone is not very convinient considering it is sold for $ 139, while many similar cellphones are a lot cheaper than that. In case want a cellphone to mostly use social networks and internet browsing, this device is probably the right one .
