"GOOD PRODUCT FROM NOKIA"

It's hard to recommend the Nokia Lumia 525. This isn't because it isn't a good device, especially in terms of looks, display quality and performance. However, for this slightly higher price, you won't be getting much of improvement over the Lumia 520 except in camera performance.

The Nokia Lumia 525 is a thoughtful upgrade to the cheapest Windows Phone 8 device. The Lumia 525 comes in a variety of colour choices; white, black, yellow and red.

Comfortable to hold and use; Takes good photos in...

Performance is lacking,...

The Lumia 525 has a very colorful design, a very practical software and its reasonable price is definitely a bonus. So if you're looking for a middle end smartphone then wait for a month or two and consider the Lumia 525.

Nice design; good software with Microsoft office availability; practical size and for an affordable price

Basic photography and processor capabilities

The Lumia 525 is a small, affordable phone with a surprisingly decent camera and plenty of attitude, but not much else going for it. When held up to similarly priced Android phones, it's hard to make a case in favour of Windows Phone, which is why Nokia has capitalised on looks and ease of use.

Good; Comfortable to hold and use; Takes good photos in daylight; Decent battery life; Distinctive style

Bad; Performance is lacking; Screen isn't all that good
