Nokia Lumia 525 appears in leaked press render

The render was leaked on Facebook, courtesy of @evleaks, and exhibits a traditional Lumia design. The leaked render shows the alleged Lumia 525 sporting a sleeker profile than the Nokia Lumia 520 and also suggests that the smartphone would come in three colour variants - Red, White and Yellow. The render also reveals that the alleged Lumia 525 will not come with flash accompanying the rear camera, just like the Lumia 520. Unfortunately, there is no word on the availability of the device, yet.

Earlier this week, we were greeted with leaked specifications and images of the alleged Nokia Lumia 525. The leaked image of the Nokia Lumia 525 showed off the front panel of the alleged device which seemed identical to the Lumia 520.

In the previous leak, the specifications of the alleged Lumia 525 were revealed to include a 4-inch WVGA (480x800 pixels) IPS LCD display; a 1GHz dual-core Snapdragon 400 processor; 1GB of RAM; 8GB of inbuilt storage with support for microSD card up to 64GB; a 1430mAh battery and a 5-megapixel autofocus rear camera. Further, the leaked specifications claimed that the device would run Windows Phone 8; sport dimensions of 119.9x64x9.9mm, and weigh about 124 grams. Connectivity options on the device are expected to include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AGPS, GPS, 3G and Micro-USB.

The major difference between the Lumia 520 and the rumoured Lumia 525 seemed to be that the latter comes with 1GB of RAM. The report also noted that the Nokia Lumia 525 will come bundled with the rumoured Nokia Guru aka BH-121 Bluetooth stereo headset.

Prior to this, the infamous phone tipster, @evleaks revealed the Lumia 525 was tipped to be launched alongside Nokia Lumia 1520, Nokia Lumia 1320 and Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet at Nokia World. However, this particular rumour from @evleaks did not materialise.
