Nokia Lumia 925 Slims Down Its Flagship Windows Phone

Nokia has announced a revamped version of its flagship smartphone, ditching built-in support for wireless charging. The Lumia 925 - unveiled in London - is lighter as a result, addressing a common complaint about the Lumia 920. The firm has also upgraded the device's camera, saying this is the first time such a complex technology has been put in a handset. The launch comes a week after several investors criticised Nokia's strategy at its annual general meeting. Some suggested the decision to offer the Windows Phone operating system only on its top-end phones had put it at a disadvantage against rivals whose bestselling models are powered by Android. However, chief executive Stephen Elop said the decision to focus on Microsoft's software gave his firm the best opportunity to "compete with competitors like Samsung". The firm said the new model would initially go on sale in Europe and China in June, followed by the US and other markets.
