If you’re planning to pick up a new mobile phone in the near future then you might be keen to stay up to date with the latest releases. There are a whole range of options available, with the right selection for you likely to be a matter of personal preference.

Nokia 925

However, if you want a handset with a number of great features and from a well-established manufacturer then one of the Nokia Lumia range might be worthy of your attention. Current devices include the Nokia Lumia 920 and 820 and they will soon be joined by the Lumia 925, which is expected soon.

Much excitement has been building about the handset in recent weeks as the firm looks to wrestle back customers who may have made the switch to handsets by the likes of HTC, Apple and Samsung. So will the Lumia 925 help to achieve this?

It’s hard to know for certain until it’s properly unveiled, but some of the features of this smartphone are certainly likely to attract a fair share of positive attention. These include some interesting camera features, such as the ability to remove a moving object from video. This could prove ideal for those moments when someone wanders around in the background unexpectedly.

Another part of these editing tools enables you to take facial expressions from a number of group photos and put them all in to one shot. So if one person has not managed to smile while everyone else has then why not pull in a better face from another snap?

Shooting in darker conditions should prove a breeze too as the Windows 8 Phone utilises PureView technology with an 8.7-megapixel camera, which promises to help you get the right shots day or night. A generous 4.5-inch display may also make it easier to know your snaps and videos and of the desired standard.

If looking out for the environment is your thing then this may also be the right selection, as Nokia suggests that it is as much as 100% recyclable and also uses recycled materials. It’s also free from harmful substances such as PVC.

Other attractive elements include the variety of business apps provided, including PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote and Word, so it could prove ideal for busy people who want to be able to catch up on a little work or view documents quickly and easily while they are on the move.
