First the OS: (If, of course, rated, or you can download the phone without?)
WP 8 is in my opinion along with Apple IOS the best OS for smartphones that is currently on the market. Android is far behind in this respect, unfortunately, of course, you offer a much larger app in the other two. And of course there are the other two already much longer. And of course I have with Android more possibilities for adjustments or picture in picture or the like. But and these were the main reasons for me to go back to WP 8,
WP 8 works easily, quickly, cleanly and do not ask me all the time what it should do now. Should I open the video with this or that ... (Android)
WP 8 makes it easy and not constantly asking questions. Furthermore, also a very important point for me has WP its settings in the Settings menu simple and focused and not Android all very convoluted and I have not eeewig search for settings. This is very often happened to me so and I had to open the help often. Do I still need to make IOS neither WP8. Everything is very simple and well structured. It has the impression that the programmers follow the goal to lead me to the goal. Completely different in the maze of Android. Also, and this is something the WP has the other two OS ahead, I find my apps constantly and immediately. The other two I was there before the longer looking. Very annoying ... Who says now you can create with the other folders and thus order by topics, areas, or the use is absolutely right, but I can at WP Although not create folders, but my Livetiles to taste, size and arrangement also arrange for certain topics. So I have several four tiles as an example which together are an issue. So I have above right four tiles the only communications are (SMS, Whatsapp, Facebook, email) followed by two further down four small tiles with online services (IE, Marketplace, Ebay, Amazon) larger tiles are then the separation of the smaller four tiles , so I have my screen very tidy and absolutely clear. In addition, the apps have because of their very stylish tiles a very high recognition value and I find them immediately in the past scroll. Apps are not home screen on which I find the right menu then immediately by the alphabetical order. Very nice also that you can represent the Livetiles in other colors. Personally I like a lot better than any photo in the background.
The intuitive operation of the OS is also for everyone if changing smartphone newcomers a very well done and leaves a thus dominate the mobile phone within a very short time.
Special highlights of Apps I have supplied particularly highlighting: Nokia Music Mixed with radio, which I greatly missed in android and me now runs constantly. YouTube has had its day with me. Furthermore Here Drive +, Here Maps and Here City Lens.
That currently under the WP app offer very young is like seen numerically correct, but I do not miss one would have had to iOS or Android in daily operation. By Here Maps and especially Ovi around rather different. Another advantage is that I cost on WP also not afraid of viruses or similar I must therefore and resources can save a AntiVirenApp.
For smartphone itself:
Here I must also praise it big Nokia. The significance, started the Lumia 800 has steadily increased, Nokia made from simple plastic a very valent device that fits comfortably in your hand and also very stylish comes along. Now with alumium and together with polycarbonate held in very discreet black and aniodisiertem alu in dark gray also very sexy. I must admit that my 925 has not fallen particularly at first glance. However, this was after the second glance over and now I have to say when the device holds in his hand is just recognition for a device very well done.
It is in contrast to the 920 very easy absolutely handy and narrow. also comparing the Galaxy S4 does not shy away from the 925, because of the weight of hardly anything (think 9 grams) and is about the 925 I find handy persönlcih. it is more comfortable in the hand, indeed is a real flatterer. The gap dimensions of the device are very good and equally, no protruding edges no burrs, no creak and it's all very stable. I have no fear that it could break through a little stress.
For battery power, this is excellent. Although there are only 2000mAh but the OS is content with relatively little. I have with me always active: WLAN, GPS, Bluetooth and mobile phone tracking, which is regularly akualisiert my position via GPS. These I call occasionally write Whatsapp, SMS and email (updated 1/4 STDL), have merhmals daily eBay, Amazon, and NTV active. and hear about 1-2 hours a day on Ovi Music (via Bluetooth) and get on the end of the battery to more than 32 hours battery life !!! Compared to my Galaxy S4 (2600mAh !!!!!) was the very latest after 18 hours of juice, while most were services still disabled.
Therefore, the battery full 5 stars.
Screen: Top and absolute no difference to Galaxy S4.
Personally, I find the colors even more beautiful on the resolution (HD to Full HD) I can not tell the difference, but vll I am at a distance from always at least 20 cm simply too far away and can only our moles recognize the touchscreen nose operate). This way, responds very well and fast. very good service. Even I could tell him never stuttering, or the like. the Galaxy S4 this is indeed the normal scroll through the individual screens. not sonderlcih annoying, but without a realization much nicer :)
The 4.5 "I also absolutely sufficient even better than the S4, now that I, as again is more rand also no longer as fast unintentionally softkeys use.
Camera: I would like to not say much, only so much:
Very good photos, in after you achieved so incredible shots and especially is the optical stabilizer screen is blurred thanks to nothing more. because helps me a 13MP camera namely AUC nothing if I need a tripod to take pictures. Incidentally, the S4 shoots in 16: 9 mode photos even in 8.7 or 8.9 MP ... Otherwise, the camera is very good, absolutely makes good pictures and videos.
Phone memory:
I have the 32GB version of it were 29.12 free and have now genutz 7.92. I saved a few songs, leftover from android, now I use only mixed radio, some of the most long and 5 commented videos (min Normal resolution and photos of over 2 years. I guess you could also with a 16 GB version very good However, better safe than sorry, and I hope that Nokia's 32GB version for the other models still nachschiebt.
Speakers and of course:
Very good. Samsung may quietly ask again at Nokia as it make that you so well and clearly understand the other person and can also communicate through the speaker properly. the best I have ever experienced. Apple also is there no better.
Other points:
Reception: I find myself often in areas with poor reception and could by the Lumia but in some cases is even phone calls where the competition had already painted the sails.
Additional services in the Galaxy S4 Verlgeich: I miss at all. as they were not already mature, I find it even easier than now without being able to get along. had these off over long periods, as they had eaten me too much battery.
Yes, on the whole that's now become a beautiful Verlgeich between s4 and Lumia 925. for me is the Lumia and especially wp absolutely emerged victorious.
I come with the system along very well, and the device really is a very nice product very stylish and an absolute top. I therefore evaluated with full 5 stars is likely to surprise anyone. I am very excited and am curious what will get Nokia and Microsoft bring in the future. I see this partnership in the smartphone Breich still great goals.
