Eschewing the plastic for an aluminum construction, Nokia’s finally built a truly “premium” feeling Windows Phone 8-powered smartphone in the form of the Lumia 925. In a nutshell, the Lumia 925 is virtually identical to the Lumia 928 for Verizon, only prettier. It has the same 4.5-inch (1280 x 768 resolution) touchscreen, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage and 8.7-megapixel PureView rear camera with f/2.0 aperture and dual LED flash, and a 2,000mAh battery.

Now, the only major smartphone platform without an aluminum smartphone is BlackBerry. Android has the HTC One, iOS has the iPhone 5 and Windows Phone 8 now has the Lumia 925.

In the U.S., T-Mobile will offer the Lumia 925 on July 17. It’ll be available without contract for $49.99 down with an additional $20 per month (on top of your regular plan rate) for 24 months, which comes out to $530 for the smartphone itself over time.

Price: $530 (over 24 months)
