14 DAY TRIAL // We reported yesterday on the first pictures of the unannounced Nokia Lumia 525, which is the spiritual successor of the popular Lumia 520 entry-level smartphone, and now the full specs of the device have leaked online.
The first press render of the Lumia 525 surfaced online as well on Chinese Baidu site and shows that the smartphone strongly resembles the Lumia 520.
However, as MyNokiaBlog points out, the upcoming Nokia Lumia 525 comes packed with 1GB of RAM, which is double the amount included in the Lumia 520 model.

According to the leaked specs, Lumia 525’s display features 2D hardened glass and super sensitive touch for finger nail and glove use.
Aside from the 1GB of RAM, the smartphone is said to come with 8GB of internal memory and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 64GB). Obviously, SkyDrive users will also get 7GB of free cloud storage.
Hardware-wise, Nokia Lumia 525 is powered by a 1GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor. There’s also a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with autofocus and HD (720p) video recording, but no LED flash.
