Some time ago, the fashion for phones with large displays did not affect devices manufactured by Nokia. Such a policy of hers caused a huge amount of skeptical feedback from experts and ordinary connoisseurs of this brand. The first sign, designed to change this situation, was a model from the Lumia line, namely Nokia 625. An overview of the device is presented below.
General Description
The novelty can be safely called a typical youth smartphone. First of all, this is due to the case, which catches the eye not only with its bright shade, but also with a rather large display. The choice of the buyer are options in white, black and red. However, due to the yellow or green interchangeable panels, the device can be given a very original look. The entire front surface of the model, including the front camera and control keys, is hidden behind a protective glass. The back side of Nokia Lumia 625 is made of polycarbonate covered with a transparent additional layer. This creates a kind of visual marbling pleasant to the touch device. For some reason, there is no way to detach the back covera hold, so it’s better to remove it by prying one of the corners.
Absolutely all control keys are located on the right side face. At the same time, there is a volume control on the top, a camera activation button on the bottom, and a power on / off key between them. This placement can be called quite successful, especially when the phone is in a horizontal position. The build quality of Nokia 625 does not cause any particular complaints either. Feedback from the owners of the model indicates that there are no gaps and extra squeaks here.
Screen
The smartphone's display is based on an IPS-matrix and has a size of 4.7 inches. Its resolution is 800x480, and the density is 201 dots per inch. This is quite enough for the main applications of the device. Moreover, the screen boasts wide viewing angles. It should be emphasized that such display parameters are one of the factors that not only provide excellent performance and reduce power consumption, but also keep the smartphone in the allotted value segment. A highly sensitive sensor is another advantage of the Nokia 625 screen. Feedback from experts and users of the device has become another proof that it can be operated even with gloves on. In addition, the display is capable of recognizing up to ten touches simultaneously.
Camera
The camera used in the model can be called good, but nothing more. It is equipped with a flash and shoots at a resolution of five megapixels. Color renderingphotos is not at the highest level, but for a device of this price category it is quite acceptable and natural. It is impossible not to note the presence in the model of branded applications from the manufacturer, designed to work with images. As far as movies are concerned, they are recorded in Full HD resolution.
Performance
The Nokia 625 is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 platform. The processor of the device consists of two cores, each of which operates at a frequency of 1.2 GHz. The main drawback of the smartphone, as well as other budget modifications, according to experts, is the RAM, the volume of which is only 512 gigabytes. In this regard, the device does not support some games. As for the space for saving user information and system data, 8 GB of fixed memory is allocated for them. Storage can be expanded by installing an optional microUSB card up to 64 GB.
Operating system
Smartphone Nokia 625 operates on the Windows Phone 8 operating system. In principle, it can be called quite convenient for use in mobile devices. After all, it does not require very high performance, and also boasts nice fonts and logic, which is quite understandable for most users. On the other hand, if the applications created today are supported by it, then they are usually stripped down or require a certain fee.
Autonomy
IndicatorThe autonomy of the Nokia 625 phone is at a fairly high level and is one of its strengths. The device is equipped with a stationary type battery with a capacity of 2000 mAh. Since the technical characteristics of the model are far from the most outstanding, the smartphone is characterized by low requirements in terms of power consumption. Under the condition of his stay in the mode of serious workload, the full charge of the battery will last for almost 2 days. Far from all even the flagship modifications of this kind of gadgets can boast of such an indicator.
Sound
The main speaker can be seen on the back cover of the Nokia 625. Provided that it is not covered by anything, it is almost impossible to miss a call, because it sounds harsh and loud. When playing music through the corresponding application in the headphones, it plays quite clearly. The same can be said about listening to the radio.
Conclusions
Summing up, it should be noted that the Nokia 625 smartphone, whose price in our country is about ten thousand rubles, has a number of advantages compared to many other devices. These properties include a good display, a good ratio of quality, performance and cost, as well as a high degree of autonomy. At the same time, the model also has some drawbacks that prevent many potential buyers from making a choice in its favor: a small amount of RAM and the use of the Windows Phone 8 operating system, which does not support many of the existingapplications.
