We already reported on when you can expect the Nokia Lumia 925 to hit stores in the UK (Wednesday, June 12). We've just now learned that pre-orders for the handset that will follow up the successful, high-performance Nokia Lumia 920 will start on Friday, June 7.
As more than a mere follow-up to the Nokia Lumia 920, the Lumia 925 is in fact a lighter, thinner "reboot" of its predecessor, with the interesting inclusion of an aluminum frame. As such, the Lumia 925 will be the first of its series to come out forged from a metal alloy.
As Know Your Mobile notes in its report on the June 7 pre-order date confirmation, the SIM-free price of the Nokia Lumia 925 will run you about £400 ($605), without VAT.
While the aluminum aspect of the Lumia 925 is something that Nokia has already gone on record for being strangely defensive about (there are those who are concerned that the handset's aluminum ring will interfere with its antenna performance), the Finnish mobile manufacturer assures us that the phone will be fit for a superhero (hence the Superman edition of the phone coming to China mid-June).
In case you're wondering yourself if the Nokia Lumia 925 is truly a "superphone," the specs and features are as follows:
- 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor
- 1GB of RAM
- 16GB of onboard storage (Vodafone will have an exclusive 32GB variant)
- 4.5-inch AMOLED (with Nokia's ClearBlack and PureMotion HD+ layers)
- 1280x768 pixel resolution at 332 pixels-per-inch (ppi)
The Nokia Lumia 925 camera is something extra-special, as well; it's a 8.7-megapixel back-illuminated (BSI) PureView camera that rocks:
- Optical image stabilization
- Carl Zeiss optics
- Dual-LED flash
- f/2.0 aperture
- 1080p video capture
There are currently "coming soon" messages on such retailer pages as O2, Three, Carphone Warehouse and Phones4U that will allow users to register to get more information about the upcoming Nokia Lumia 925.
Pocket-lint has also compiled a fantastic list of detailed information about all we know at this point as far as where to get a Nokia Lumia 925:
- Vodafone says it will have the Nokia Lumia 925 32GB variant in black on its Vodafone Red plan fairly soon
- O2 will have a white 16GB variant on Thursday, June 13
- Three will be working with the June 7 pre-order date
- EE (T-Mobile/Orange), Carphone Warehouse and Phones4U currently have no updated information, aside from the latter two confirming they will indeed carry the Nokia Lumie 925
