Days after the release of the Lumia 928 on Verizon, Nokia introduced yet another premium flagship Windows Phone, the Nokia Lumia 925. The latest Lumia, available in gray and black metallic colors, replaces the plastic polycarbonate backing of its predecessors with a slim aluminum body that weighs just .3 pounds.
Like the 928, the Lumia 925's camera is the most standout feature, with some of the best specs on the market. But Nokia's new Windows Phone adds exclusive video photography apps in addition to its PureView camera lens technology to position the device as the ultimate mobile media creator.
Instagram is still missing from the budding Windows Phone OS platform — but can high-quality photo app alternatives and advanced camera technology make up for it? Meet the Lumia 925's built-in media apps and check out all the tech specs after the break.
Nokia officially introduced its latest flagship phone for Verizon Wireless today, the Lumia 928, a new premium device for Windows Phone that's sleeker, slimmer, and more powerful than any Lumia we've seen.
The new 4.5-inch phone ups the ante with an edge-to-edge "infinity" glass design, xenon flash (the same kind used in DSLRs), and high audio microphones built to record supernoisy environments. Clearly, Nokia is poising the device as a high-end mobile media creator in the hopes of luring iOS and Android users to the young — but beautiful — Windows Phone 8 platform (which, sadly, still doesn't have Instagram).
Is the Lumia 928 ($100 with a two-year contract) the be-all, end-all premium device for Windows Phone? Peep the tech specs and standout features of the Lumia 928 in the gallery.
Vampires, the US just does not know how to quit you. Across all age groups, the gripping trailer for True Blood season six is the most shared video in America, according to YouTube's new Trends Map, which reveals web videos gone viral around the country.
YouTube is visualizing its data about viewers — whether they're male or female, their age, where they're based, what they're watching, and how they're sharing — and making that information available to other YouTube users, to help them discover the top viral video sensations hitting the web over the last 12 to 24 hours.
Toggling between different filters reveals really interesting habits among different age groups and markets around the country. For both male and female viewers in all age groups, Corgi puppy and the Scary Spoon is the most shared video in Tucson, AZ — but nowhere else. Change the filter from "Both" to "Male," and many of the most popular videos will flip over to display The Morgue scene from Family Guy as the No. 1 hit.
The US-only map is a spinoff of the YouTube Trends Dashboard, which has even more advanced filters that display what's popular in other countries and comparisons between different parameters like age and location. Poke around and see what other YouTube users in Fort Lauderdale, FL; Boise, ID; and Seattle, WA, are clicking on. Are you surprised by what you find?
