Nokia's Lumia 525 budget Windows Phone surfaces with swappable covers and more memory

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 keeps the swappable covers (orange, yellow or white) that have been copied by others like the iPhone 5c, and most notably, 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 that extra memory it can run more of them at once. %Gallery-slideshow123399%
