Description
Nokia N525 Lumia (Lumia 525) Yellow Windows 8.1 3G, New, lock state not stated
New in yellow, this Nokia N525 Lumia is the Lumia 525 running Windows 8.1 with 3G data, listed with handset, battery, charger, USB cable, and manual in the retail box; no lock state is stated. Yellow is the collector color, and a sealed box with full contents is what retro-tech shops and marketplace sellers can list at the top of the range.
Nokia's Lumia 525, which this listing calls the N525 Lumia, is a compact 2013 Windows Phone with a 4.0-inch IPS display, a dual-core 1 GHz Qualcomm chip, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of storage expandable by microSD to 64 GB, and a 5 MP autofocus camera that records 720p video. It runs Windows Phone 8.1, uses a single micro-SIM, and has a user-replaceable 1,430 mAh battery. Connectivity is 3G WCDMA and 2G GSM only.
Dealers take the yellow Lumia 525 from TG Wireless for export prepaid lots in markets with live UMTS, for collector stock of the bright budget Lumias, and for prop use where a small colorful smartphone reads well on camera.

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. The source lists the retail box contents as handset, user manual, USB cable, charger, and battery; confirm with your account manager.
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.
