Should I switch to 920?

[Georgi Ivanov3]

Hi guys,

I am currently having a lumia 625 with win 8.1, so I was wondering should pay little bit more after selling the 625 and get a 920??
Do you think it is worth it to change, or there is nothing special that differentiate 920 from 625, apart from the camera? Of course I could use various internet compare services, but for me it is important your opinion as people who actually own and use the phone..
Does the 4,7 inch (lumia 625) makes any difference to 920's 4,5?
Additionally, how it is performing with WP 8.1?

Thank you for your time and response!

If you want pure view camera , 1GB ram for gaming and 32GB on board memory ...I ,over my lumia 920 , though it was bulky during first few days but now I am used to the weight and it's constructed beautifully and solid.

The Lumia 920 is a fine device. (I use it personally) By no means the fastest today in raw silicon, but it'll get you there, and definitely more quickly than your current 625.

The 920 is an ex-high end device and comes with many bells-and-whistles unlike the 625. The slightly smaller display is all but certain to be worth the change.

Pros:
Camera is far superior.
Extra features like NFC, Qi wireless charging onboard.
Slightly smaller yet much, much better display. (Higher resolution, ClearBlack, you can have Glance on it) - the 625's display was known for its size, not quality, which is akin to the 520's panel IIRC.
32 GB memory vs 8 GB
1 GB RAM vs 512 MB on the 625 - makes for compatibility with more apps like Modern Combat 4, Nokia Beamer... Improves speed too since the phone has more breathing room.

Differences that are potential pitfalls are:
Likely lesser battery life than your 625 due to same battery capacities, yet a bit more power-hungry internals.
No microSD card slot.
Can't swap shells easily.
