Can't decide - Lumia 920 or 925?

[Deivisk]

Hello,
So, I'm thinking of purchasing new phone and I can't decide between Nokia Lumia 920 and 925.
I like the idea that 925 has 6th lens but don't that it have USB port up on the phone.
920 has more storage and can last longer but it's also heavier.
925 has better antenna but 920 Has more "things" in it (I mean GPS stuff etc.)

Please help me choose, I use all of the feateures on phone, take pics, listen music etc.
What should I buy?
P.S. I live in europe so I can't have all of your American stuff.

Thank you.

I had idea about doing that. Guess that'll do.

925 is an imrpoved 920, or atleast that's what I think and feel.
If you are ready to pay a little more I suggest the 925.

Actually, in my country 925 is cheaper than 920.
But I think I'll stick with 920 because of wire-free charging.

What do you mean by the "American stuff"?

I can't say exacly, but there are many things that differ with europe versions.

Damn, I'm again back to 925 because I've heard that 920 has problems with dust comming to front facing camera.

Mines not had this problem with the dust. As far as differences go, the only thing that I see as a downside to the 925 is the 16GB of storage, rather than the 32GB on the 920. Would you find you fill up a 16GB phone, do you play a lot of games, store a lot of media etc?

Get whatever's cheaper.

Yes, as for Bing services, some of them are not available in most of Europe (except for the United Kingdom and France, if I'm not mistaking).
For example, I live in Ukraine, and Local Scout doesn't work at all here (but fortunately I can use Nokia City Lens instead).

I never understood how the 925 is an upgrade from a 920. Take out built-in wireless charging and reduce memory from 32 GB to 16 GB and you basically have a 925. Sure, it's a little bit lighter, but is that really that important?

Re: Can't decide.

You can get wireless charging with case for 925 but memory is a problem, right. So what would you suggest?

I would get a 925 anyday. Here are the reasons.

1. Better screen. Wp8 was made for the blacks that oled offers. I loved the blacks on my lumia 800 and the whole time i had the 920 i didn't like its screen because of that. If your whole home screen is black it makes sense if the blacks merge with the bezels. Now im using the 1020 and love the screen again.

2. The size/feel. Trust me the 925 feels amazing to hold. Especially compared to the 920. The metal, matte finish and slim profile make a huge difference.

3. Better camera. In my tests the 925 always came out on top.

4. Newer. This is silly but a newer device always has better resale.

5. Wireless charging is just a gimmick. My 920 and 1020 never work well with wireless charging and always heat up.

Disadvantage.

Memory. But if you can live with 16gb, then the 925 is a winner by a huge margin.

'Newer' doesn't always mean 'better':wink:

What he says, a thousand times over! I have owned both devices. 925 ftw

Vodafone 925, so you get 32gb space. But it is more expensive

Get the 32GB version from UK, its on Voda and you'll be good. (Assuming you want to go with 925)
