Nokia announces Lumia 925 in aluminium, with enhanced camera

Nokia has shown that it is firing on all cylinders. After the recent launch of the Lumia 928 stateside, they now unveiled the Lumia 925 which is an aluminum-clad Windows Phone featuring an enhanced camera and various new sofware features.  Essentially a refreshed Lumia 920 in a sleeker, lighter form factor, Nokia has made necessary improvements while maintaining the best bits of that flagship smartphone.

According to Nokia, "the Lumia 925 will debut in June on Europe’s Vodafone network, then head to China Mobile and China Unicom. It’s scheduled to launch on T-Mobile in the U.S. later this year, Nokia said. In Europe, the phone will cost around 469 euros before taxes and subsidies."
