After announcing the 41-megapixel rear camera Lumia 1020, the Finnish mobile maker, Nokia has now announced an inexpensive Windows-based handset on Tuesday, July 23rd. The new handset is called Lumia 625 and it is powered by Windows Phone 8 GDR2. The size of the screen in the Lumia 625 is 4.7-inches and it will be made available in various colours just like its predecessors. In addition to this, consumers will be able to customize their Lumia 625 by changing the backcover with other backplates.
The best thing about the new smartphone is that even with the low cost, Nokia has made it LTE enabled along with a powerful 1.4Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, a 5-megapixel rear camera and a front facing VGA camera.
As far as the RAM is concerned, Lumia 625 sports 2GB RAM together with 8GB of internal storing capacity that can boosted with a microSd card. A 2000mAh battery keeps the Lumia 625 alive for a decent time, but when it comes to the resolution of the smartphone it flaunts a second-rate 201ppi pixel density.
