Nokia says: "Lighter, sleeker and more intelligent than ever, the Nokia Lumia 925 is a beautifully innovative new take on an already award-winning design. Crafted from a single block of aluminum, this unique and elegant design means the product is robust while improving performance. Alongside it, the gently curved polycarbonate back feels great in the hand and draws the eye to the Lumia's outstanding 8.7MP PureView camera. You can enjoy every detail of your photos and videos on the bright, super-sensitive 4.5" touchscreen that responds to your fingernail or glove. While Windows Phone 8 offers the most personal and intuitive experience there is"

MSN Tech | David Phelan

Nokia's design language has taken on a new vernacular with this strikingly redesigned smartphone. It looks good and feels great and though the innovations are limited, there are enough to please.

Expert Reviews | Chris Finnamore

If you're set on Windows Phone 8 this is the handset to buy, but, as with the 920, a lacklustre camera holds it back from an award.

Wired UK | Dave Oliver

Nokia's long hard road back to relevance continues with the Lumia 925, a premium Windows smartphone with classy metal body, stonking-great camera and a host of extras.

Mobile Choice

The Nokia Lumia 925 is one of the best Windows Phone 8 mobiles out there, with an impressive PureView camera, bright high-res screen and tons of excellent Nokia features.

What Mobile | Jordan O'Brien

The Nokia Lumia 925 is by no means a revolutionary phone, bringing more evolution than revolution to the table, but this should not fool you as it is a phone which has built on the great work of its predecessors.

Australian PC World | Ross Catanzariti

The Nokia Lumia 925 has many of the same features of its predecessor, but is thinner, lighter and uses an aluminum frame. The Windows Phone OS still has some annoying limitations compared to competing platforms, but the Lumia 925 is without a doubt the best Windows Phone yet.

SlashGear | Chris Davies

It's clear from the off: the Nokia Lumia 925 is the best model in Nokia's range, and the best Windows Phone 8 device today.

The Verge | Tom Warren

Nokia has mostly nailed the design with the Lumia 925, but Windows Phone is holding it back.

TechSpot | Tim Schiesser

All the improvements that Nokia has made with the Lumia 925 still make it a good recommendation for those wanting a change from Android or iOS. But if you're after a device with the absolute latest in technology in a polished, well-rounded package, it may be wiser to explore elsewhere.

IT PRO | Mike Jennings

Nokia has improved its flagship Lumia in most departments, with a better screen and slimmer, lighter design that's just as affordable as high-end rivals. It's not the best when it comes to demanding task though, but the real issue comes away from the mains - its battery life is just too poor to recommend.

The Gadget Show

The Nokia Lumia 925 is a handsome device with a gorgeous display and a superb camera, plus useful exclusive software that helps make Nokia phones the only Windows Phones worth bothering with.

T3 | Thomas Tamblyn

Thanks to the camera, design and screen the Lumia 925 could well be afive-star product, however the inclusion of Windows Phone 8 does dampen the mood slightly due to the fact that while the app situation is improving the operating system itself is in need of some innovation.

Engadget | Mat Smith

Nokia clearly made sacrifices for a slimmer design, but we think they're worth it.

CNET UK | Andrew Hoyle

The main drawback is still the lack of good new apps in the Windows Phone app store, but otherwise, the 925 is a brilliant phone.

phoneArena | Ray S

With the Lumia 925, Nokia has created a charming device. It's a good-looking, thin and light smartphone that even features an aluminim frame to give it a premium taste.

PC Advisor | Andrew Harrison

As a piece of phone hardware it's competently put together, but ultimately is undermined by an aesthetically challenged and unintuitive software interface, while you'll be lucky to find half the apps you might need to load on it.

Know Your Mobile | Dean Quinn

Our advice ... would be to just hang on for the Lumia 1020.

We can't bring ourselves to recommend a phone with battery life this poor, no matter how much we like the rest of the device.

Which?

If indoor photos are a priority, the Lumia 925 is a good option, otherwise the Samsung S4 looks a more rounded device at around the same price. [subscription required for full access to review]

Digital Versus | Florence Legrand

The Nokia Lumia 925 is an excellent next step after the Lumia 920. It makes up for the 920's heavier weight and thicker body and the camera takes very satisfactory photos in good lighting. In low lighting, pictures come out even better than on the 920. Five stars.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
