Nokia has been especially successful with their entry-level range of Windows Phones, particularly the Lumia 520,
which on the back of its dirt-cheap price, quickly propelled itself to
be the best-selling Windows Phone. A successor was always on the cards,
but what Nokia has provided – the Lumia 525 – is a little unusual.
However, since the Lumia 520 launched at the start of 2013 the entry-level smartphone market has changed; new hardware has been unveiled specifically for budget devices, and older parts have become cheaper. The competition is also ferocious, specifically Motorola's aggressively-priced Moto G comes to mind.

In nearly every way, the Lumia 525 is the same as the Lumia 520: same
Snapdragon S4 SoC, same five megapixel rear camera, same 4.0-inch WVGA
display, same storage options and the same design. Nokia has bumped up
the RAM from 512 MB to 1 GB, allowing you to run more apps in the
background, as well as the latest games. The software included is also
the latest and greatest, for what it’s worth.- 4.0”, 800 x 480 LCD display (233 ppi)
