Nokia has released in the Philippines the most affordable 4G/LTE Windows Phone 8 smartphone, the 4.7-inch Lumia 625. Like iPhone 5C, it comes with five bright colors to choose from. The casing is replaceable however, the battery is not.
Lumia 625 is not thin at 9.15mm, I guess Nokia has never came up with Windows Phone 8 that is really thin up until this time, but the selling point here is the LTE on the phone. The major marketing features were slashed off in this model like wireless charging, NFC and Gorilla galss so that the market may afford it.
You will see very similar features present in the former Lumias, plastic casing, rounded corners, a little bit heavy, and the live tiles of course. The rear shooter is a 5MP camera with a flash, the 4.7-inch is an IPS LCD with only 480 x 800 (201ppi) display. Under hood is a Snapdragon S4 dual-core 1.2Ghz processor, 512MB RAM, and an 8G internal storage which you may expand via microSD (up to 64G).
Nokia positioned Lumia 625 because they want people to use it on playing music (Lumia will stand 90hrs of music playback), watching video, taking pictures and sharing to social media, and for some the useful navigation features of the smartphone.
Lumia 625 will be available in five colors like orange, bright green, yellow, and white and black.
