Nokia N525 Lumia (Lumia 525) Black, Red, 1GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 Plus, New, lock state not stated
Brand new Nokia N525 Lumia stock, the Lumia 525 with the 1GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus chip and 1 GB of RAM, listed in Black, Red as an assorted-color lot; the listing does not state a lock state. Exporters who fill prepaid counters in live-UMTS markets can take mixed colors without a conversation, which is where this lot fits.
The Nokia Lumia 525, listed here as the N525 Lumia, is the November 2013 refresh of the budget Lumia 520. It doubles the RAM to 1 GB on the same 1 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 Plus, keeps the 4.0-inch 800 x 480 IPS screen, 8 GB of storage with a microSD slot up to 64 GB, a 5 MP autofocus camera, and a removable 1,430 mAh battery under swappable shells. It is a 3G phone with no LTE and no front camera.
TG Wireless sells the Lumia 525 to exporters who serve live-UMTS prepaid markets, to collectors of the colored Lumia line, and to prop departments that want an inexpensive period smartphone.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The Lumia 525 is a GSM/UMTS phone with 3G data and no LTE or VoLTE. Bands per the listing: 2G GSM 900/1800 MHz and 3G WCDMA 1900/2100 MHz. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it no longer registers on a US network. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses: export to live GSM/UMTS markets, collectors, props, parts, and Wi-Fi-only use where supported. That is a non-US build.
Resale fit
- Export to markets where UMTS service is still live and a low-cost Windows Phone sells at a prepaid counter.
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock the colored budget Lumias in boxed condition.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need a compact 2013 smartphone.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
