Lumia 825 Slightly Modified from Lumia 820

The Phone will feature a range of back 'Shells' which will allow users to customise the look of their phone as well as adding functionality such as Wireless charging or NFC if a shell with that capability is added. 


This feature gives the additional benefit of allowing a scuffed or broken shell to be replaced with a new one to freshen up the device, something which is not possible on some competing smartphones such as the iPhone or unibody Lumia designs such as the 900 and 920. It additionally allows user access to the battery so that a battery which no longer holds a charge can be replaced with a new one, or, if on a long trip away from a charger, the user to swap a spare fully charged battery for an empty one, increasing the time the phone can be used for.

If you are aware of the Nokia’s latest mid range smartphone Lumia 820 which runs on the latest Windows Phone 8 OS, recent pictures leaked from China that reveals a new smartphone by Nokia called Lumia 825, its a slightly modified version of Lumia 820 which features 16 internal memory as apposed to 8 GB, has a 4.3 inch AMOLED display with super sensitive touch panel so the touch even works while you are wearing a glove, which Lumia 820 lacks. No information on the resolution of the display, possibly its 800 x 480 pixels.

Other notable features includes its 1.5 GHz dual core processor, 8 megapixels rear facing camera with dual LED flash, microSD card slot, changeable rear panels so you can choose favourite colour of your choice, has all the connectivity options including 3G, Wi-fi, Bluetooth and 3.5 mm headphone jack. 

Though there is no official announcement of this new handset yet, its more likely that it will be an unique device for a specific mobile operator in China. It is expected that this device might see a launch in February 2013. Let’s wait though you may not have a chance to play with one if you are outside of China.
