Your Nokia Lumia 925 has a pretty good screen and while we found its processor a little lacking it's still decent by Windows Phone standards.

If you want to show both of those things off in one fell swoop then there are few things better suited to the task than 'N.O.V.A 3', a near console quality first person shooter that looks stunning and controls surprisingly well too, and runs well on the innards packed inside the Lumia 925.

If 'N.O.V.A 3' is a bit too fast paced for you then consider 'Civilization Revolution'. It's a deep turn based strategy game that's part of the legendary Civilization series and while it doesn't look quite as good as 'N.O.V.A 3', the 4.5 inch screen on the Nokia Lumia 925 is put to good use in making as much of the game map visible as possible.

UC Browser

Internet Explorer isn't bad, but it's not to everyone's tastes. Unfortunately none of the other major browsers- such as Chrome or Firefox are available for the Nokia Lumia 925, but a few other alternatives, such as UC Browser, are.

Aside from just being an alternative, UC Browser also includes a number of features that the mobile version of Internet Explorer doesn't.

For example there's a speed dial page, which you can set as your home page and put all your favourite sites on. It also has a night mode which dims the screen, an incognito mode for private browsing and a built in QR code scanner.

Flashlight-X

Price: Free / £1.49

That dual-LED flash that's packed into the back of the Nokia Lumia 925 comes in handy when taking photos, but that's not the only thing it can be used for, as if you download a flashlight app from the store you can turn your phone into quite a powerful little torch by adding the ability to make the LED flash stay on.

There are a number of flashlight apps available but we recommend the one called 'Flashlight-X' as not only can it turn your phone into a torch, but it also has an S.O.S mode, which will make the light flash the Morse code for S.O.S.

Plus it has a built in compass, making it a great combined tool for campers, hikers and many other outdoor activities - not to mention an essential aid anytime the power goes out.
