What’s the difference between the Nokia Lumia 920 and 925

Nokia Lumia 920 vs Lumia 925 – what’s the difference?

Nokia’s Windows Phone 8 range has been substantially fleshed out in recent months with offerings across pretty much every price point. From the entry-level Lumia 520 to the high-end flagship Lumia 920, Nokia are clearly trying to make a Lumia model available for everybody. June saw the launch of the Lumia 925 – mostly a redesign of the 920 that has addressed a few issues and criticisms that were brought up in reviews of the original when it launched  in 2012.

At a glance

First off, most of the specifications have stayed pretty much the same so performance will be very similar; a lot of the changes are aesthetic although there are a few hardware tweaks.

• Screen – same size and resolution at 4.5 inches and 1280 x 768  but the 925 has traded the original’s IPS LCD for AMOLED technology
• Camera – same 8.7 MP sensor and ISO up to 800, but the f/2.0 Carl Zeiss lens has had  a sixth glass element added. Also some software changes.
• Battery – same size although much improved battery life, possibly due to AMOLED screen. No wireless charging built-in to the 925 – charging cover required
• Dimensions – roughly the same length and width though 925 is about 2mm thinner and drops 46 grams to 139g
• Colours – Lumia’s crazy pastel variants are out for a muted monochrome black, white and silver with the 925
