What's the 1525? Is that a upcoming phone? Is it supposed to be like the 1020 or 1520? I hope it isn't as big as the 1520....

I think its same as 1520 with latest internals ie new processor, it will most likely be same size. Its still rumour at this stage.
Its rumored to have the snapdragon 801.I think its same as 1520 with latest internals ie new processor, it will most likely be same size. Its still rumour at this stage.
OMG, what a bunch of doom mongers we have on this forum!
Lets look at the facts. It seems Mclaren has been canned because of the 3D Touch tech, which either hasn't worked out, or is taking up too much cash to develop. That tech is just one part of some mythical Mclaren phone. It is perfectly possible that the code names are for "target devices", and the basic hardware platform for several devices has been developed in parallel with the unique selling point tech (like a camera, or 3D Touch) that would go into particular devices.
Look at the 810, 820, 822, 920, 925, and 1020. They are, at their core, the same phone.
What I mean is, by cancelling Mclaren, they haven't cancelled all of the hardware that make up Mclaren, just the combination of tech that used 3D Touch (and that had apparently got to prototype hardware). So there is bound to be another design in the works, that will take the place of Mclaren as the high end Lumia for Q4 2014.
However, whats concerning me and i assume some other people here is that there might not be another "hero" device planned to be released during the november - december timeframe.
Id wait for the 1525, disappointing is an understatement tbh - i also have a 920 (930 is not a worthy uograde) and 1020 which is reaching end of life. I want a great WP device, something cutting edge using the latest technology.
The frustration continues.....
the 930 isn't a true upgrade of the 920 because it is missing features that the 920 has. it can't be upgrade if it's one step forward one step back.Why is the 930 not a worthy upgrade? People upgrade their iPhones or Galaxies all the time for nothing else other than a minor processor speed bump or screen density. The 930 has a better screen, battery, internals and even the camera is superior. Somehow, people have much higher expectation of MSFT/Nokia than they do Apple/Samsung. It's like if the next 1020 does not have 100MP then it's a failure, conveniently ignoring that the 41MP is already so far ahead of the competition even today.
