Design
If you will hold both the Nokia Lumia 620 and Lumia 625, you will see that Lumia 625 is nothing but a big brother of the Lumia 620 as both the devices are quite identical. The rear panel of the Nokia Lumia 625 doesn’t cover the front of the device like the Lumia 620.
Lumia 625 comes with curved edges which give a really cool look to the device. The smartphone is available in multiple colors which are Orange, yellow, green and black. The volume rocker is placed at the top right side of the smartphone. On the bottom you get a micro USB port along with a primary microphone. The 3.5 mm headphone jack is present on the top of the device.
Display
The device sports a 4.7-inch display screen. Lumia 625 is the first smartphone which comes with a display bigger than 4.5-inches.
The display is an IPS LCD display which delivers resolution of 480 X 800 pixels. You get 199 ppi in the device which means that if you will see images with low resolution they will appear pixelated. If you will look at the tiles on your smartphone closely you will find them pixelated.
Camera
Lumia 625 comes with a 5 mega pixel rear shooter with LED Flash. You get a Windows Phone 8 camera application which will help you in capturing amazing shots. You can select from different effects such as ISO white balance, scene selection, saturation, and contrast among many others using the Windows 8 camera application.
