Nokia Lumia 625 is official: a 4.7-inch, LTE enabled device for €220
Nokia today unveiled the Nokia Lumia 625 – a new budget-friendly Windows Phone with a big 4.7-inch display. The new device is the Nokia’s logical step forward in an attempt to attract a different type of customers. The new model arrives in 5 brightly colored semi-transparent changeable polycarbonate shells: in yellow, orange, green, white and black.
Nokia Lumia 625 is an LTE/4G enabled device with a 4.7-inch screen having a wide viewing angle. The display is viewable in direct sunlight and has the super-sensitive touch technology, which means you can use gloves or nails. Unfortunately, the display has a low resolution – just 800x480p but you can expect that in a low/mid-range device. It is obvious that Nokia had to sacrifice the display characteristics to fit within the budget. The other specs include a 5 MP camera, 8 GB of memory, 512 MB RAM, a dual-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon processor and a 2000 mAh battery.
The Nokia Lumia 625 arrives with some nice features, apps and the latest Lumia Amber update. It has the Nokia Smart Camera and Cinemagraph pre-loaded. The handset is also enriched with the new Coloud Boom headphones and the latest versions of the Nokia apps – HERE Maps, HERE Drive, HERE Transit and Nokia Music.

Maybe you are not quite impressed by the phone features, but let us tell you that the Nokia Lumia 625 is priced at €220 before taxes and subsidies and it is not a high-end phone. Nokia plans to release the new Windows Phone in late August/early September. Among the first regions to get the Lumia 625 are Europe, China, Middle East, Latin America, India, Asia Pacific and Africa. UK customers will get the phone in September. There is no word for the US launch.
