Nokia Lumia 925. The camera revolution.

In a world where competition between producers sometimes makes them do strange and unusual things , and buyers by voting their own wallets for a particular gadget placing dots on the i, each seeks to find its own niche and stand out from the competition. So come to mind Philips, riding a horse increased autonomy in their gadgets or Samsung welling in his creations incredible soft karaoke gadgets . In the same series can be activated and Nokia, which have traditionally abuts on the quality of a camera in their gadgets . For example, recall the slider N95, or an unusual clamshell -transformer N93 with Zeiss optics and optical zoom. Back in 2006 it was a real revolution in mobile photography , and today we see the next feat on the same topic . a couple of years ago is enough to recall the 808 model with the technology and the matrix PureView 41 megapixel resolution , and in the past, the Lumia 920 in 2012 - the first major unit from the Finns , able to give prkurit flagships of other software platforms. And of course, it is worth recalling the recently announced Lumia 1020, using technology Pureiew second generation. Although , at the end of the summer the unit is already sold in the U.S., worldwide sales of this model is planned for the autumn.

In a series of events in May announcement of the Lumia 925 and the start of the summer sales were not as loud , but the device is clearly deserves attention. Interestingly, in most of its modest Nokia flagship is not called , giving this role in 1020 , and just talk about the expansion of the model line and , in fact, change year-old " old man » Lumia 920. At first, I thought it would be 925 one-day unit , hateful pass model between the 9th and 10th series , but Holding the device in your hands , I realized that things are not so simple.

The fact that the Lumia 925 would have made ​​a step to the side, offering a solution for those who were not satisfied with the end of the appearance of the jaunty polycarbonate enclosures , which are available all current smartphones from Nokia. It is , in fact, thinner and prettier Lumia 920 , dressed in a strict business suit, for those who, for whatever reason, can not use the yellow or blue smartphone.
It also uses a noble matt aluminum frame , although she remained back wall of plastic. In contrast to the colored brethren 925 launched on the market in black, white and gray here this here rather reprove them .

In comparison with the 920 you can give a few numbers - 925- I of 46 grams lighter at 2.2 millimeters thin, and its dimensions does not stand out among the other champions of the competition , although , in fairness it should be noted that the display is not even 5 not 4.7 as One and 4.5 inches.
It's called Pure Motion HD + and placed on OLED technology has yet standard for all gadgets flagship WP resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels. It's the "yet" due to the fact that Windows is still simply not supported by any Full HD matrix or 4- core processors to upgrade , code-named GDR3, so while Nokia has to settle for that.

And although 334 pixels per inch is not bad developers have come off on the other " buns " like a protective glass Gorilla Glass 2 with rounded edges , technology Clear Black, making the black blacker and the opportunity to work with the device through gloves or even operate the screen using foreign objects .

Personally, I have a claim to the display , there was only one very strange color palette , rather typical of AMOLED matrices , especially in comparison with honest and neutral SLCD on my One. A simple example - photo taken with each other on both the gadget under the same conditions, even on the screens look fundamentally different .

Well, that would do away with the display I will mention one chip -Nokia Glance, first introduced on the 925 - it's the clock display on the screen in standby mode. The fact is that, thanks to OLED technology on such a display of power is consumed only when redrawing the figures, which means almost no effect on the autonomy of the device , but adds clarity fairly. By the way after the update , this option will appear on all the latest models of Nokia with OLED displays, except for the younger sets 5 and 6 Series .

The cabinet is made with lots of love and attention to small details , such as the window of the main chamber , though slightly protrudes from the plane of the rear cover , the glass itself at a fraction of a millimeter recessed , and thus will not scratch on the table . Buttons as the carcass is made of aluminum and two hardly noticeable on the sides of the protuberance speaker grille create an air gap between the solid surface and the grating itself .

But if you carefully examine the body quickly becomes clear that he is not collapsible , and in addition to the tray to install micro sim cards of other similar connectors it does not. What am I , yes all just slot for expansion 16 gigabytes of built- in memory to Lumia 925 is not provided. The user is available only with an honest penny 12 gigabytes and a free bonus in the form of MS 7 gigabytes of storage on a virtual SkyDrive. Not a lot .

But am pleased to note that, like all the latest gadgets in the WP8 smartphone running very quickly, and 2 nuclear Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 gigabyte of RAM and it lacks a head for all occasions . In anticipation of the 925th WP8.1 boasts one of the latest builds of WP with a tricky title Lumia Amber. So this is the Amber will also be available as an upgrade for most nokievskih smartphones and will bring a lot of new good moments , in particular , support for FM radio, the aforementioned screen mode Nokia Glance, updated internet explorer , and a lot of the little things .

Personally I like the fact that you can now download the application Nokia Pro Camera, and manage the process of shooting as the flagship Lumia 1020, changing the parameters and details of shooting , even holding the device in one hand . It works really cool, but some chips I do not see the competition, such as sensitivity up to 3200 ISO and manual focus , and it's the usual smartphone ... In sunk ) ) .

Well, once we got to the camera is worth looking at it in more detail . She has family ties with the version installed in the Lumia 920 and Lumia not in 1020 is a matrix with a physical resolution of 8.7 megapixels with optics from Carl Zeiss, equipped with LED flash, optical image stabilization while video recording and the ability to take pictures and in low light. The difference is more complicated optical system , which allows for more light , and as a result, the image quality in low light conditions .

But the surprises do not end with the camera . Nokia has produced another interesting application -Smart Camera. The point here is that the machine makes about 10 shots per second and a half , and offers after the shooting to choose the best shot of the series, to animate a moving object against a static environment, or sfokussirovatsya on such a moving subject to change people's faces when a series of images of someone you could blink , you can replace the face , or even delete Xia moving object which accidentally came in sight of the lens , and is absent in at least one of a series of shots . In general, total freedom for creativity, with an emphasis on the camera . To my great!

And to complete the image of the 925th , is the support of special covers from Nokia with wireless charging. By the way, three mysterious contact on the back of the case it is necessary to do so.
Also worth mentioning is embedded NFC module and Bluetooth 3.1 for data transfer, and data support not only 3G but also in the LTE network via the SIM card , but the main -WP, through the efforts of Nokia are more and more becoming a friendly and convenient system with advanced features . For a complete happiness seems to me there are not enough of the matrix is 41 megapixels from the upcoming flagship Lumia 1020, but it would be a different story ... Personally, I regret only that Nokia exclusively promotes the system from Microsoft. Would be here Android, and my doubts in favor of the next gadget immediately be put to rest , and so, if you make up my mind , will have to get used to these tiles ...
