Nokia Lumia 525 Announced

Nokia Lumia 525 AnnouncedIt’s probably common knowledge by now that the Nokia Lumia 520 is Nokia’s most popular Windows Phone handset to date. In fact it seems that it is probably the most popular Windows Phone handset so far, so we guess it’s to no surprise that Nokia has announced a successor in the form of the Lumia 525. We had heard rumors about the Lumia 525 for a while now and even had its specs leak not too long ago, but we guess it looks like things are official at last.

While there’s no word on pricing or availability, it seems that for now the Lumia 525 will be headed for Africa, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific region, but it is unclear as to whether those of us living stateside will be seeing it. Then again the Lumia 520 was launched in the US as T-Mobile’s Lumia 521, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if Nokia decided to release a variant for the US as well. In terms of the specs, the earlier leak appeared to be on point.

The Lumia 525 will feature a 4” display and will sport a 5MP rear-facing camera without a flash, similar to the Lumia 520. The main difference would probably be its RAM which has since been doubled to 1GB. It will be powered by a dual-core Qualcomm S4 processor and will feature swappable covers like previous Lumia models.

    Nokia Lumia 525 Full Specs Leaked

    Nokia Lumia 525 Full Specs LeakedThe Nokia Lumia 525 is the Finnish company’s upcoming handset which based on its model number, is presumably the successor to Nokia’s highly successful Nokia Lumia 520 which has surprisingly been dominating the charts in developing markets, presumably due to its affordable price. In any case thanks to a sighting on a Chinese Baidu website, a press rendering of the device has been leaked along with the full specifications of the upcoming handset, some of which was previously speculated and have turned out to be correct.

    The design of the Lumia 525 is nothing to shout about, although based on its orange finish, we can only assume it will be offered in a myriad of colors. It will feature 1GB of RAM, as previously rumored, and will be powered by a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1GHz. It will also come with a 4” IPS LCD WVGA (800×480) display, a 5MP rear-facing camera capable of 720p HD video capture at 30fps, 8GB of onboard storage with support for microSD cards up to64GB, a 1,430mAh battery, and will come with 7GB of free SkyDrive storage.

    Nokia Lumia 525 Accidentally Confirmed

    Nokia Lumia 525 Accidentally ConfirmedApart from unveiling high-end handsets like the Nokia Lumia 1520, Nokia has low-end devices in the works too and according to the rumors, one of them is allegedly that of the Lumia 525, also known as “Glee”, which is apparently the successor to the highly popular and successful Nokia Lumia 520. While the Lumia 525 “Glee” did not make an appearance at the recent Nokia World event, Nokia seems to have accidentally confirmed the existence of the device on its website, thanks to a recent competition the company is holding. As you can see in the screenshot above, one of prizes Nokia will be giving away is the Lumia 525 as part of its Nokia All Access Live Nation Contest.

    It does not appear to be a typo or accident as the fine print at the bottom also clearly refers to the Nokia Lumia 525. Unfortunately the specs of the Lumia 525 remain a mystery at this point in time, but assuming it is the successor to the Lumia 520, we expect it to run some low-end specs and also come with a price point that should make it a highly attractive purchase to the customer on a tight budget. The contest is scheduled to end on the 3rd of November, so perhaps we will hear about the device in the near future. Anyone looking forward to the Lumia 525? Do you guys think it has what it takes to replicate the success of the Lumia 520?

    Nokia “Glee” Might Actually Be The Lumia 525

    Nokia Glee Might Actually Be The Lumia 525

    A few days ago we reported that Nokia is expected to launch a new low end Lumia smartphone which will be music centric. The smartphone reportedly carries the “Glee” codename. Recent reports suggest that this device might actually be the successor to Nokia’s insanely popular Lumia 520. This particular device, Lumia 520, is actually said to be the single best selling Windows device out there and Nokia might be willing to build to its success with the Lumia 525 a.k.a the Glee.

    Details about the Lumia 525, which itself is an alleged moniker, are scarce at this point in time. It is not known exactly what internal hardware this smartphone will tout. This device will no doubt be important for Nokia and Windows Phone in general, since it would essentially seek to achieve the same level of success that the Lumia 520 has. The primary reason why Lumia 520 is popular is due to its competitive price, and the fact that it does so much more than other phones available in or around the same price bracket. Nokia has an event scheduled on October 22nd in Abu Dhabi, UAE. There, it is expected to unveil six new devices, including a new tablet. The Lumia 525 a.k.a Glee is also expected to be announced there.
