Nokia has unveiled the Lumia 625, the largest Lumia Windows Phone yet, with a 4.7-inch screen and 4G.
The 625 sports a larger screen than any previous Lumia, making it a rival to big-screen Android phones like the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One on size -- but very definitely not on price.
Under the big screen is a 1.2-GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 512MB RAM and a 2,000mAh battery. There's 8GB of memory for your music and movies, snaps and apps, and you can add a microSD memory card for up to 64GB of extra leg room.
Like previous Lumias, the 625 is built of sturdy plastic that doesn't feel flimsy or cheap, with no flex or rattle when shaken up. It's encased in interchangeable covers, which are tough to prise off -- you need to dig your fingernail right right in -- which at least means it's not coming off in your pocket.
The curved back is similar to the Lumia 720, and the screen is rounded at the edge, like the high-end Lumia 920 -- a nice touch that we wouldn't expect on a budget phone. Overall it reminds us of the bargain-tastic Lumia 620, although our first impression is that the screen isn't as sharp and bright as the 620's impressive display -- and at 201 pixels per inch, it shows off half the detail of more expensive but similarly-sized phones like the Galaxy S4.
