That meant I could only get a 4G HSPA signal in San Francisco because the phone couldn't connect to AT&T's LTE signal.ĭespite the fact that the Lumia 625 I tested didn't have the right network for LTE, the HSPA data signal I had was fast enough to stream videos and download apps quickly. AT&T uses 700, 1700, and 2100 MHz LTE bands, but the Lumia 625 only supports 800, 1800, and 2600 MHz LTE bands. However, be sure to check with your carrier to be sure the Lumia 625 can use their LTE bands, as the phone only uses certain frequencies.įor instance, I tested the Lumia 625 on AT&T's LTE network in San Francisco. Like many of the higher-end Lumias, such as the 1020 and 925, the 625 supports LTE. You also get 7GB of cloud storage with Microsoft's SkyDrive. Inside, the phone has 8GB of storage, with the ability to add up to 64GB more with a microSD card. The Lumia 625 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core 1.2Ghz processor and 512MB of RAM, which gives the phone enough power to load apps quickly and move through menus without feeling sluggish. Nokia gave the 625 lower-end processing guts, but, make no mistake, this phone is still snappy. Nokia Lumia 625 call quality sample Listen now: For me, her voice sounded a bit robotic and there was occasional static. She said that I sounded loud and clear, with no background noise, even with cars driving by and people talking nearby. Next I called one of my colleagues on her landline while I stood outside next to a busy street. Using speakerphone helped, as both my voice and my tester's voice sounded clear and loud at chest height and lower. On my end, her voice sounded robotic at times and occasionally one or two words would cut out. The person I called said my voice didn't sound completely natural and that it would fade in and out.

My first call was to another cell phone while standing in a quiet room, with full bars showing on the display. I tested the unlocked Lumia 625 (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) on AT&T's network in San Francisco. In my testing, video turned out clear and the camera's autofocus worked well while shooting.

The main camera records video in a respectable 1080p full-HD resolution at 30 frames per second, while the front-facing camera records in 480p resolution. You can also record video with either camera, but stick with the the back camera for home movies.

On the plus side, color and lighting look more natural than on many front cameras I've encountered. Given the front-facing camera's low-megapixel count, it's not surprising that photos come out grainy. You can compare some smartphones' image performance in our periodically updated gallery of studio shots. In the left photo, I was standing in the shade, in the right I was standing under direct sunlight. Here you can see that shadows show up too dark in photos shot with the 625. For a frame of reference, the Lumia 820 and 920 both have 8-plus megapixel cameras. On the back of the phone is a 5-megapixel back camera and there's a 0.3-megapixel front camera on the top-right bezel. The Lumia 625 got the budget end of the stick with its cameras. Anyone who used a Nokia feature phone from several years back will likely recognize it from the older devices. It's an always-on lock-screen screensaver that shows the time and new notifications. Unfortunately, the 625 misses out on one feature from Amber called Glance screen.
#NOKIA LUMIA 635 REVIEWS UPDATE#
Also included in that update is an option to silence the ringer on an incoming call by flipping the phone over. That means you can't tap to share files with other NFC-enabled devices.Īs promised by Nokia, the 625 also gets the Amber update, which adds several new features, such as camera improvements and a FM radio player. The 625 has the typical Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS features you'd expect on a Windows Phone, but there is no wireless charging or NFC. However, the 625 is missing a compass, which means you can't use augmented reality in Here Maps and the map won't rotate when you move your phone. Nokia also added its own apps to the phone, such as the Xpress browser and navigation and mapping app Here Maps. Windows Phone 8's tile interface on the 625.
