That time of the year is here, and I have to upgrade from my 520 that's been getting old. I have 2 choices, a Lumia 830 and a Lumia 925.
The 830:
+ Last gen
+ Bigger screen
+ Better rear-facing camera
+ SensorCore(something I won't be using personally)
+ microSD slot(I already do fine with the 520's small 8GB, so storage's not an issue.)
+ Removable back.
+ Bigger battery
- Processor is slower
- Rather low specs for the price
- Screen is IPS(I do like the color accuracy but OLED blacks would be nice.)
- Some users report stuttering issues.
The 925:
+ Better processor
+ Higher pixel density
+ Better front-facing camera(something I won't be using)
+ OLED display
- Last gen
- Won't get the Denim goodies
- Worse rear-facing camera than the 830
- Smaller battery
- Is getting older, I can't emphasize this enough.
Which one do I get? Also, no matter what I choose, it will be a MASSIVE upgrade from my 520.
