Nokia Lumia 925 Announced

Nokia have announced the Lumia 925, their latest flagship Windows Phone 8 smartphone, at today's event in London.

Watch The Nokia Lumia Event Here LIVE

Nokia is expected to launch a new flagship Windows 8 phone at a launch event in London today, and we will be streaming the event here live at 10am BST.

The Lumia 925 appears to have a possible aluminum frame around the outside, with distinct notches and a distinct camera 'bump.'  With the tagline of "more than your eyes can see," it's fair to say that this will probably be one of the main focus points of the new device.

Besides all of this, there isn't really anything else to take from this.  All that's left is to watch and see.
