Nokia Lumia 925 Review

, Jun 15th 2013 Discuss [35]

Nokia is on a roll with Windows Phone 8 – when it comes to filling out its range, anyway. The Finnish company has spent 2013 slotting a Lumia into almost every possible gap in the market, and now has a third flagship-spec model in the shape of the Nokia Lumia 925. The latest to bear PureView branding, and arguably the best-quality handset running Microsoft’s platform that we’ve seen to-date, the Lumia 925 ticks all the boxes on paper, certainly. Is this the smartphone to sign two years of your cellular life away to? Read on for the full review.

, Jun 14th 2013 Discuss [11]

While we haven't seen a Windows Phone from Acer in quite a while, the company is at least interested. However, Acer had concerns about getting in on the Windows Phone 8 shenanigans. Specifically, they aren't yet convinced that Windows Phone 8 has the traction to create a lot of revenue for Acer, which is why they're sticking with Android at this point. Read The Full Story

Nokia EOS aluminum body prototype leaks: unlikely to hit market

, Jun 14th 2013 Discuss [1]

If you're thinking the leaked photos you're about to have a peek at below are going to be released as a final-form Nokia EOS, you might want to re-think your summer smartphone buying strategy. What we're seeing here are several angles on a less-than-production-quality iteration of a Nokia phone - not quite the same as the EOS that we'll be setting eyes on in less than a month (July 11th, that is). What's a bit more likely is that this was a prototype of the smartphone or a potential body for a next-generation Lumia. Read The Full Story

Nokia “Zoom Reinvented” event confirmed: EOS PureView likely star

, Jun 13th 2013 Discuss [3]

Nokia has fired out invites for a New York launch event, teasing with the tagline “Zoom Reinvented” in what could be the official reveal of the Nokia EOS PureView. The event, taking place on July 11, will be a chance to “see more from Nokia” according to the invite, and judging by the magnifying glass and the teaser, we’d not be surprised if some lossless digital zoom magic in the manner of the original 808 PureView was on the cards.

Nokia EOS vs Lumia 920 shows just how small true PureView got

, Jun 13th 2013 Discuss [10]

Nokia's EOS PureView camera has cropped up in the wild again, now getting up close comparison-style with the Lumia 920 and showing just how little has changed from the front of the Windows Phone, at least. The new image, shared by perennial EOS tipster ViziLeaks, shows that the two handsets are largely identical, though the protruding camera bulge of the unannounced phone does tip it at an angle.

Apple’s iTunes Radio “playing catch up with Nokia Music” suggests Nokia VP

, Jun 10th 2013 Discuss [10]

It's not often that Nokia gets to take a moment to snark on Apple, so it's certainly not surprising that immediately after Apple releases information on their iTunes Radio service, the VP of Nokia Entertainment has responded with a reminder about Nokia Music. As iTunes Radio was made official, this streaming music service with iAd integration and the ability to purchase songs on the fly was picked at by Nokia. Read The Full Story

Windows Phone update leak tips notification center and more

, Jun 8th 2013 Discuss [6]

Windows Phone looks in line for a UI refresh, including a redesigned notifications center, if a clutch of screenshots supposedly inadvertently leaked can be believed. The images, culled according to a Reddit user from a Nokia Lumia 920 bought on eBay, apparently show a version of Windows Phone dated May 9, and could well be a misplaced test unit that had been used to put a pre-launch OS build through its paces.

A new video showing the Nokia EOS PureView smartphone in action - right up close to what's expected to be a roughly 40-megapixel sensor - has leaked, further stoking enthusiasm about the high-resolution handset. The footage, shared by ViziLeaks, demonstrates the EOS' shutter and optical image stabilization in action, though the pre-production Windows Phone still lacks the labeling to confirm exactly what resolution the unannounced device captures at.

, Jun 5th 2013 Discuss [6]

While earlier this week it was reported that AT&T was all but a lock as the first US carrier of the upcoming Nokia EOS device, the device itself hadn't yet been seen in physical form. Today several images have appeared showing how this machine will be a combination of forms. While the front and sides of this Nokia smartphone appear very much to be right along the lines of the Nokia Lumia 920, the back and its hump show its powers inherent: here lies the power of the original Nokia 808 Pureview.

While the original 41-megapixel-toting Nokia 808 PureView was a smartphone running Symbian, here the Windows Phone version of the device is being tipped to hit the blue network with a "summer release" to its name.
