Nokia’s Lumia 525 popped up in a Chinese regulatory filing earlier this month, but now we have official information about this new budget Windows Phone 8 device. In lieu of fanfare or a Middle Eastern press event however, it’s appeared via a YouTube video (embedded after the break) and a simple product page. Appearing as the successor to the Lumia 520, the 525 adds iPhone 5c-ish swappable covers — an appropriate response we suppose, now that Cupertino is encroaching on Nokia’s polycarbonate crown — and doubles the amount of RAM inside to 1GB. Just like the earlier model, it has a 4-inch screen, the 5MP rear camera is still without flash, and it’s still powered by a dual-core Qualcomm S4 processor. It does however come with some of the newer Lumia apps, and with the extra memory it can run more of them at once. %Gallery-slideshow123399%
