Nokia Lumia 625 User Reviews and Ratings

So here's Nokia, announcing yet another big screen and a descent 4G phone. Its little expensive then the Lumia 620 and the low end budget Lumia 520. A affordable descent 4G phone with good camera and better performance, did Nokia made it up? I have been using thisphone back a year and found this a really great phone actually. keeping in mind a an affordable big screen model, the camera was an average then the other high end Lumia's. The 5MP clicks did well when the conditions were perfect but like the other phone out there, 625 went a lil dizzy at low light and at other spots. Various landscape photos lacked detail and were blurry when snapped more colors. it also did well at close up's but again lacked the details every photographer loves! It was worse at low light; Lumia 625's camera isn't bad but also is not great! Now talking about the videos, lumia 625 offered a 1080p and a 720p resolution options. Still, the quality of the videos is fairly decent and that's the most important thing. Speaking about the performance less because we all know Windows phone are great at performance, it did well with is 1.2 Ghz Snapdragon S4. There were no frequent hangs like we find in the most mid end phones, and nor it lacked in playing games. Display again was not as good as expected, as this one was a big screen; o the display was a little detail less! Google lovers won't like the phone as the Lumia 625 browse's with the Internet Explorer which wasn't bad though. It opened web pages easily (yeah it will depend on your cellular connection).The screen on the Lumia 625 is both a blessing and a curse for web browsing, as while the large size means that you can usually read a web page quite comfortably without too much zooming or scrolling, the low resolution means that things are never entirely sharp and generally don't look all that good. It's also not helped by the fact that the screen seems to pick up a lot of smears and smudges.However the headline feature is 4G, as this is one of the cheapest phones available that can actually get a 4G signal. Talking about audio ouput, the speakers didn't act well on both ; Calling and Music. It lacked details and was a little scratch when played at higher volumes! Thankfully, the Lumia 625 seems to have far better battery life than the 620, and I loved the backup it offered withthe 2000mAh battery! Till now it is been acting well and but again it is a non removable one so as time passes , it will show you some bad! The back of the phone is incredibly plain as it's dominated by the almost featureless polycarbonate cover with big screen making it a little uncomfortable to hold on! Well coming to the end, those who want a big screen, internet love and a average camera, Go for it! Yet camera lovers will hate this phone!

The Lumia 625 is not just an update to the upper-budget Lumia 620 it's the biggest Lumia handset there is, with built in 4G at a very reasonable price. The 625 has a large 4.7in screen, which is even bigger than the 4.5 inches of the Lumia 925. This makes the phone quite a handful, but it?s still possible to use one-handed; particularly as, unlike Android, you don?t have to pull menus down from the top of the screen. It's also pretty heavy at 159g, which is 20g more than the Lumia 925, if nowhere near the weighty Lumia 920. Unlike most handsets with screens this large, which tend to have at least 1,280x720 pixels, the Lumia 625 betrays its budget nature with its 800x480-pixel screen. By current standards, this is very few pixels to stretch across such a large screen, and leads to a low 201ppi pixel density figure. Headlines aside, you definitely can?t read text on web pages when zoomed out, and the jagged edges to fonts can look decidedly retro when compared to a phone with a 1,280x720 or 1,920x1,080 resolution. However, as long as you don?t mind zooming when surfing, the Lumia 625 is a reasonable web browsing phone. It's certainly quick enough to cope with complicated web pages and scrolls around without missing a beat. A fast score of 1,129ms in the Sunspider JavaScript benchmark backs up my subjective impressions. Image quality from the IPS panel is also reasonable. Whites are bright and even and colours look accurate, but the Lumia 625 doesn't have the Lumia 620's ClearBlack coating, so doesn't have as deep blacks or vibrant colours; on the 625 the red of BBC News doesn?t have the punch we're used to, for example. As you'd expect, the 625 comes with Nokia's HERE Maps and Nokia Music apps. These give you worldwide offline mapping, turn-by-turn navigation and a large number of free music tracks, organised by various playlists. The offline and navigation features of HERE Maps can be found on Android phones in Google Maps, but HERE Maps lets you store entire countries offline rather than just sections, and we found Nokia's maps to be sometimes more detailed. Nokia Music is an excellent selection of high-quality free music. The Lumia 625 has a 5-megapixel camera, and Nokia's impressive Smart Cam app. This takes several photos at once when you press the shutter (7 photos on the 625, compared to ten on more expensive Lumias). As well as letting you choose the best shot, having more than one photo of the same scene lets the 625 perform some fancy effects. Action Shot, for example, overlays an object moving past the camera on a single frame, so you can see the progression across the photo. The Remove Moving Objects function does what you?d expect, such as removing a passing bus from a shot of a landmark. A feature we haven?t seen before is Motion Focus. i definetely recommend people who are tired of using android and want to a windows phone that's worth your money........

Pros MicroSD memory card expansion slot. Latest Windows Phone 8 software. Excellent Nokia apps and services. Durable and colorful shell. Cons Low resolution display Limited RAM-With just 512 MB of RAM, you wouldn't count on being able to play lots of high end games. Nokia has a focus on imaging, but the camera is pretty basic. It comes with a 5 mp camera without Carl Zeiss optics . The front facing camera is also a .3mp VGA quality camera. Photos from the rear camera don't look bad though and are perfectly acceptable for social networks and digital sharing. No wireless charging. Lack of apps in window store. At this price if screen is not much matter 820 is one the best option with almost same price range,better camera,better processor,better screen resolution and more ram.

By Manas Pandey, Nokia has launched the Lumia 625.The 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor in the Nokia Lumia 625 is faster than the processors in either the Lumia 620 or Lumia 720. With regards to the Lumia 625's looks it, well, looks like a Lumia - albeit a chunkier one than we're used to. The dimensions of 133.2 x 72.2 x 9.2mm make it the longest and widest Lumia on the market, though it's actually quite thin. At 159g it's a heavy beast, outweighing even the Nokia Lumia 1020. However, weight aside it feels reasonable to hold, with comfortable, slightly rounded edges, though the screen is large enough that those with particularly small hands may need to stretch a bit to operate it one-handed. Available in black, white, yellow, red or green, the Nokia Lumia 625 is just as colourful as we've come to expect from the Lumia range. It's also just as plastic, with a removable polycarbonate shell. The front of the Lumia 625 primarily contains the 4.7-inch 480 x 800 IPS LCD display, with a pixel density of 201 pixels per inch. That was presumably one of the cost-cutting measures required to actually make this handset possible at a low price, but the result is a screen that really is a little bit worse than we'd like. Other than the screen the front of the Nokia Lumia 625 has black bars along the top and bottom which hold various buttons and sensors. The bottom bar has the three soft touch buttons you'll find on every Windows Phone 8 handset - back, start and search - while the top bar holds the earpiece, the 0.3MP front-facing camera lens and Nokia's logo. The back of the phone is incredibly plain as it's dominated by the almost featureless polycarbonate cover. There's another small Nokia logo across the middle, while near the bottom there's a speaker and towards the top there's the main 5MP camera lens and LED flash. The bottom of the handset just has a micro USB port for plugging in a charger or connecting it to a computer. The right hand edge has a camera button near the bottom, a power button in the middle and a volume rocker near the top, which like most things on this handset is standard Lumia design. The left edge has no buttons, ports or other features, and the top of the Lumia 625 merely has a 3.5mm headphone port. In other words it's a fairly plain handset through and through but that's not necessarily a bad thing, as at least it avoids looking ugly, and if you've ever used a Lumia handset before you'll be right at home here. The back cover can easily be peeled off and underneath it you'll find the micro SIM card slot and a micro SD card slot which supports cards of up to 64GB. You'll also find the 2000 mAh battery hidden back here, which is substantially bigger than the 1300 mAh battery that the Lumia 620 ships with, however while the one in the 620 is removable this one isn't. Plus with such a big jump in screen size the Lumia 625 will need all the battery it can get. However if u'r a windows fan then gor for l720 or u can check moto g.

Great screen, super fast ui. Big display. Good camera. All in all great value for money. Good color options. I chose green. All the covers can be changed.

Amazing phone by Nokia... Premium look... Big screen and strong... Will not break easily like other smartphones such as samsung and Micromax.....windows live tiles are awesome and fast... Plus not virus issues like Android...nokia has best camera

Just love this phone with large screen and live window tiles...I highly recommend anyone considering a smartphone to buy this one...

i really liked it... Windows os is very fast.. no hanging issue...GDR3 updated successfully...waiting for 8.1..most of all applications are available in windows store ............

With 1.2ghz dual core snapdragon processor and Windows Phone 8, UI is fast. People have to use windows phones to know the difference btw android and windows phone 8.Why i went for lumia 625?* ease of use* good call quality* Longer talktime* decent camera* HERE maps and offline navigation* 4.7inch IPS-LCD screen (decent quality for the price)* Fast UI, thanks to Windows Phone 8 (faster than many android phones under 20K)offical indian apps like IRCTC, HDFC, State Bank Freedom (SBI app), bookmyshow, redbus, dominos, pvr cinemas, moneycontrol, my airtel, mPassport Seva, BSNL, paytm, mapmyindia and so on are available... more apps are added to windows phone platform daily. Give it some time to grow...

I always like Nokia make cell phones since it is very easy to handle and easy menu driven. Lumia 625 has got all the latest items in this mobile.

Pros:Big ScreenSimple UIExcellent speedbuild qualityConc:Low speaker volLow sunlight visibilityOver all great phone for this price, bought it for 14500 from Amazon.

I got the product at a good price..15,500 with 1500 cashback on citicards which is 14K.. But was surprised looking at the phone..I just bought this phone looking at the features and a tight budget and was using android phone before..The phone looks premium,classy and the interface was very good..Havnt explored the performance but the phone interface, looks and the apps present make it a killer buy for a modest price..

I brought this for INR 14490. Really worth for money and i'm all time Windows Mobile/Windows Phone user since 2006. Excellent product with 4.7" screen. Also packaged with few flipkart ebooks and 10GB Wi-FI access.

Excellent phone. Bought it after reading reviews and my past experience with Nokia.Touch screen -- simply superb.Ease of use, big screen, (though not so great photos,,,but for real occasions, one has proper camera).

a real nice phne wth all the required features... trully affordable.....a nice phne to go wth.... and obviously wth amazon... they gve a vry nice service.. including packeging....

I chose this phone for nokia's build quality and Microsofts's Operating system. But evrything is cool about the phone. The camera in special, is one of it's kind

This phone is awesome Windows Pone it has all that I need for my work. It works really good. It has a few cons though it at time moves you away from your games, need to add more apps and games in it. NO hangs, NO unwanted updates. Very quick and fast!!!. A wroth it mobile for this price.

I bought this phone few days back. Earlier I have used Lumia 520 and liked it a lot but I wanted a phone with bigger screen.This has got 4.7 inch display and its good. Also, windows phone is smooth without any lag. Camera on this phone is better than few phones which have 8MP camera. Don't go by the mega pixel count and Nokia did not disappoint in this regard.Go for it.

very nice Amazing phone by Nokia... Premium look... Big screen and strong.. i like Saholic price is best. thx Saholic

Pros :Excellent touch screen technology.Screen and phone is of very good built quality.No lags.Great apps : Free movies and unlimited songs- Just download them.Maps are always great.Cons:I was unable to connect this phone to Windows 7 PC. It seems very difficult.I had to buy a wifi router.

Hi,I brought this cell phone one month before from soholic (seller) at 14 k.best thing: this phone has very nice slim look, camera has best quality, nice audio, large screen makes you confortable for movies, ms office application is very nice, it feel like you work on your computer. Touch is best compare to any other device with same price, windows update all famous and useful application which available on android so don't worry, Hindi typing is addition feature,need to improve: the games you will find which are high graphics are not free compare to android,Overall this cell phone makes me happy customer, forget about 512 mb ram, its work smoothly, go for it and buy from amazon only. It is available at lowest rate on amazon.

I use this phone mainly for emails and it works like a charm. The responsiveness is simply great. While I had read about responsiveness (or lack of it) on android phones - I really came to know what this means - when I used an Android phone for about a couple of months. While in theory it seems to be a non-issue - who cares whether the phone responds a second later or so, in reality - this is really annoying. Hence Windows addresses responsiveness in a really good manner.The contacts app is also good which gives integrated view of your contacts (however, needs small improvements, see below).The lack of apps is something everyone talks about. For me - the few games which are available are good enough (I really liked Rail Rush! Though I am not a games fan).The email application is truly well done. The best part is the suggestions that appear when you start typing. Though I disliked touch screen phones - the keyboard on this phone is really good and the together with the suggestions the job of writing emails is a breeze.There is one issue though - at times - one need to enter a space before completing a word - whereas most of the time, the phone does the job correctly (when you click on a suggestion).I find the email client to be much better than an iPhone (I have used iPod touch briefly).There are a few areas of improvements -1. Battery life - seems to be an issue with Windows Phones. This definitely needs improvement - though the phone does last a day.2. Search button - search button on the right is an annoyance and not sure Microsoft is so stubborn about it.3. Contacts - Should open in Search mode by default - one has click on the search icon and then click on the Search box in order to start keying in the contact details in order to search. Further - clicking on "Enter" icon on the keyboard results in - Nothing - which is surprising. One has to click on a "search contacts" label in order to complete the search. Which is something that can definitely be improved.4. Orientation lock - something that is fixed in Windows Phone 8.1 - not yet available on Lumia 625 - which is odd/surprising for a phone that is so new.However, overall I think the phone is truly value for money and a great buy.

its really very nice to use...my friend's too love this mob very much...feeling comfortable with this mobile....its really user friendly

Low price and most from a windows phone. Pre loaded with all essential apps. What more a professional requires ?
