Well, we're about six hours past the announcement of the latest Windows Phone out of Finland, the Nokia Lumia 925, so it's about time to start armchair quarterbacking. Everyone ready? Good. Let's hit it. What do you do when your flagship Windows Phone (indeed, your only flagship phone, period) is well-received by the marketplace, but draws criticism for a few elements of its design? Well, you correct those deficiencies in the next flagship, of course. But what if you want to address those concerns sooner, while also broadening the number of carriers which offer your device? Answer: you ...

The Nokia Lumia 925 broke cover at an announcement in London early this morning, putting the icing on a busy season of announcements from everyone's favorite Finnish phone fabricator. An intermediate update to Nokia's WP8 family, the Lumia 925 doesn't pack a mind-blowing feature set. That's no surprise given its minor numeric increase over last year's flagship, and a look at the spec sheet confirms that the new 925 shares a lot of DNA with its predecessor. We're looking at the same dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4, the same 1GB of RAM, and the same display size of 4.5" - though here it's ...

Nokia will bring the PureView 808's revolutionary 41-megapixel camera - or at least something darn near equivalent to it - to Windows Phone. Rumors have been looking to a device codenamed the EOS to deliver such a sensor, but even if doesn't arrive in that particular form, it will one way or another. After all, that tech was the last great hurrah for Symbian, and with Symbian now out to pasture, it's only logical to let it continue on with Windows Phone. A lot of advocates have been looking forward to the launch of just such a model as one of the great triumphs of Windows Phone 8, but I ...

Now that we already know everything about the Nokia Lumia 928, we won't lie that we're all intrigued over what's in-store for Nokia's next event to happen on May 14th. Our own Anton D. Nagy has just arrived in London a couple of hours ago and is ready to bring you all the live coverage your heart can stand, and as a Nokia Ad has begun teasing recently, there seems to be something cool coming from Finland. As it stands, the Nokia codename Catwalk is what we're expecting to see on Tuesday. The device is expected to bring the groundbreaking 808 PureView camera technology along with the first ...

After advertising material for the Nokia Lumia 928 surfaced a little early, Nokia dropped any pretense that the phone was still secret and has spent this week releasing additional 928 promotional content. Still, we've wondered when the wave would finally crest and we'd get a proper announcement and all. There's Nokia's London event next week, but a UK event for a Verizon launch never made much sense. Instead, Nokia and Verizon have decided to play this one low-key, forgoing any formal press event and simply announcing the 928's arrival this morning. The Lumia 928 launch will come to ...

Last month, T-Mobile announced the crazy-low "I can't believe that's for a smartphone" price for the Nokia Lumia 521, which is selling for a mere $150, free of contractual obligation. At the time, we got the scoop on early HSN sales, as well as the phone's eventual arrival at Walmart and Microsoft retail stores. That was exciting news, but it wasn't quite the whole story of the 521's launch. Today we fill in a few missing bits, as availability of the 521 really starts taking off. We already knew Microsoft was getting the 521 on May 11, but since then the phone's pricing has become ...

Yesterday we've seen a video recording capability comparison between the Lumia 928, the Apple iPhone, and the Samsung Galaxy S III. Today we have a new video, this time looking at audio recording features. Before that, we get our daily Lumia 928 render, seen above. We're seeing the white flavor showing off its back with the microphone, camera, Carl Zeiss lens, and flash. On to the Nokia Lumia 928 vs Samsung Galaxy S III audio recording comparison: you can check out the video below. The Finnish phone maker emphasizes on the distortion-free recording on its upcoming Lumia phone while the ...

At Pocketnow, we have a responsibility to try the new, the fresh, and the weird - and that latter swamp is exactly the one Managing Editor Anton D. Nagy waded into with his recent review of the ASUS Fonepad - the tablet with an earpiece. Or the phone with a tablet screen. Whatever you want to call it, we've covered it - and Tony has some thoughts about using a seven-inch smartphone in this edition of one of your favorite tech podcasts. After we clear the giant-phone convo, we've got more to say. Lots more. And, doubtless to the relief of thousands, very little of it involves Samsung's ...
