Nokia Lumia 625 Unboxing & Hands On Overview

# Nokia Lumia 625: A Comprehensive Review

## Introduction

Hi there, this is Ranjit, and I have the Nokia Lumia 625 with me. Today, we’re going to do an unboxing and a quick hands-on overview of this phone. The MRP price quoted on the box is around twenty-one thousand nine hundred, but I’ve seen this phone available in the local market and online stores like Filip card for around nineteen thousand to nineteen thousand five hundred. That’s a pretty reasonable price point, so let’s dive into it.

## Unboxing Experience

Let me take this out. We have the phone itself, which we’ll get to shortly. Along with the phone, we’ve got a quick hands-on guide that provides basic information about this device. The Lumia 625 runs on the Windows 8 OS, and we also receive some accessories—a USB-to-micro USB cable and a power adapter. Interestingly, the micro USB cable is pre-installed in the phone, which is a nice touch. Let me put all these items to one side for now and focus on the handset itself.

## Design and Build Quality

The first thing that stands out about the Lumia 625 is its 4.7-inch screen. While the screen size is quite large, the resolution isn’t particularly high—it’s just a 480 by 800 pixels display. The PPI (pixels per inch) is around 199, which is decent for a phone of this price range. Despite the lower resolution, the screen quality is still good enough for everyday use.

The phone is powered by a 1.2 GHz dual-core Cortex processor and comes with 512 MB of RAM. The GPU is an Adreno 305, which handles graphics tasks efficiently. In terms of build quality, the Lumia 625 looks very nice. Initially, it seems like the back panel isn’t removable, but you can actually pry it open with some effort. Once opened, you’ll find a 2,000 mAh battery that’s sealed inside. This is an interesting choice by Nokia, as it means users won’t be able to replace the battery themselves.

The phone supports micro SIM and microSD cards for expandable storage. The internal storage is 8 GB, which should suffice for most users’ needs. On the rear side, we have a 5-megapixel camera with an LED flash. One of the standout features is that this camera can shoot videos in Full HD (1080p), which is impressive for its price range.

## User Interface and Hands-On Experience

Let me unlock the phone, and here it is running on Windows 8 Phone OS. Let’s quickly go through the settings to connect to a Wi-Fi network. The phone searches for all available networks, and I notice that it only supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi—not dual-band (5 GHz). Once connected, let’s fire up the web browser. The default browser takes me to the Nokia website, and I’ve kept the brightness on auto.

The specs mentioned on the screen are consistent with what we discussed earlier: a dual-core processor and RAM of 512 MB. It also mentions that the maximum video playback time is around 6.8 hours and music playback can last up to 90 hours. The phone isn’t very light, weighing in at 450-9 grams, but it feels solid and well-made.

The display resolution is 800 by 480 pixels, which is standard for this segment. A notable feature is the Gorilla Glass protection on the screen, adding durability to the device. Let’s revisit the web browser to test its performance. The keyboard is fairly roomy, making it easy to type on the Lumia 625. I tried the pinch-to-zoom gesture, and it worked smoothly.

The hardware specs are quite similar to other Lumia devices like the 520 and 620. Nokia seems to be sticking with 512 MB of RAM across these models. Let’s try playing back a video embedded on the webpage. The orientation change was quick, and I adjusted the volume using the speaker, which is adequately loud for everyday use.

## Camera Performance

Before diving deeper into the camera performance, let me give you a quick physical overview of the phone. On the top, we have the 3.5 mm headphone jack, while on this end, there’s the volume rocker and power button. There’s also a dedicated button for the camera on the side.

Let’s take a snap with the rear camera. It focuses quickly and takes a nice picture. I’ll be doing a dedicated video review of the camera performance shortly, but suffice it to say that the 5-megapixel shooter does an decent job, with noise levels kept to a minimum. The front-facing camera is VGA, which is sufficient for basic video calls or selfies.

## Conclusion

This is the Nokia Lumia 625. Thank you for watching, and I hope to see you in my next video.
