Ease of use, Win8 like, good perceived quality; ATTENTION: more facilities as successor 630/635

Nokia Lumia 625 (11.9 cm (4.7 inch) LCD IPS display, 5 megapixel camera, 8 GB, Windows Phone 8) (Electronics)

Customer Review

SUMMARY: The mobile phone can be operated individually configure the battery convinced only the selection of apps need to increase considerably very intuitive. Value for money very good. Hardware well. WinPhone well. Who needs rSAP, should rather choose another manufacturer.

I took the phone as a switch in the smartphone world. Due to the low price and the positive reviews I decided on this model.

IN DETAIL:

*** Unpacking and configuring: Child's play, after a few minutes the phone is ready configured.

*** Display: The ambient light-dependent display is easy to read in all situations. The low resolution falls in everyday life is not significant, even small fonts can be easily read. Here were my biggest concerns. This did not come true, fortunately. Whether the glass particularly scratch (un) is sensitive, I do not know. I immediately ordered and mounted a slide.
The touch sensitivity is - in the positive sense - particularly sensitive. In this regard, it is the expensive providers for nothing. I know the touch displays from Apple (wife and friends), Samsung (family and friends) and BlackBerry (phone companies) very closely. The Nokia has in this regard never hide.
Of course, the display could have a higher resolution. Only should be considered when assessing the price.

*** Windows Phone / adjustment / indication: The mobile phone has a certain extent 2 views. The start screen with its tile view can be individualized in many ways. Most apps offer three sizes to choose from. In addition, you can place the tiles free and even have freedom, if you want to define issues among themselves. Second, one can only apps that you really need, place it on the home screen. Here I see one of the biggest advantages of WinPhone. Neither Apple nor Samsung or Blackberry offer the ability to place only the desired apps in various sizes with such a free layout choice. Although these offer the prospect of multiple home pages (or how to get the calls), but you have to make all the apps on display. And Folder function (ie several apps in a folder together) also offers the Nokia with a small Zusatzapp.
This seemingly endless design options of the Start screen search - in my opinion - has no equal. Of course, this view is subjective, since everyone should form his own opinion.

Very pleasant I find the "back" button. With I-Phone or Blackberry I despair regularly, because I can only change again on the home screen and then continue working. Anyone who has ever used to it, do not want to miss the back button.

The second view is reached by wiping from right to left. There, all the apps found in alphabetical order, coupled with a search function.

Particularly positive and an outstanding feature is the global offline navigation with free maps. It works perfectly and shows in Germany in addition to the normal maps to traffic and the public transport network. In Munich, I have often found thus to the nearest metro station. Here, the internal memory limits the number of cards. FYI: Germany completely are 625MB, 210MB Austria. No problem, but the entire United States are then already 3.2GB. Then it's getting tight.

Office preinstalled and easy edits on the mobile phone are possible. Of course can not reflect the full functionality of Excel a smartphone.

Negative to WinPhone is the very small number of apps. While there are always a number of almost all aspects of daily life, the choice is still no way comparable with Andriod or iOS. That should be clear before buying. The Bing search I do not use. Would be better if the button can be freely configured. Unfortunately, since Microsoft pushes its Web page all buyers.

*** Hardware: The phone feels compared to the price pleasant wertig on, it creaks or cracks nothing. The workmanship is very good and it makes a long-term quality impression.
DIFFERENCE to followers: the 625 has a flash for the main camera (even if he does not reach) and a second camera for Skype, "Selphie", etc. While offer the successor dual SIM (630) or quad-core (635) , but you will not find in flash and secondary camera which. This should be borne in mind in advance, depending on what the phone is meant.
On the camera for snapshots enough. One can approach the motif up to about 5 cm. The shutter lag is very high, here are other vendors faster.

The possibility of memory expansion via Micro SD card is another hardware advantage.
Downside is the 512MB small sized Ram. In everyday use, which falls not on negative, but more complex apps are excluded.

*** Battery: me enjoys the longevity of the battery. In normal use, it extends two days. My "record" noisy battery app are 4 days and 9 hours. With intensive use of the battery lasts one day.

*** General: A big drawback I see in Bluetooth. It can not pair with my VW AutoNavi, since this rSAP demands. Old Nokia models have the record, now with WinPhone lacks. This is already being discussed in many forums. For me it is absolutely incomprehensible to the many Golf and Passat why Microsoft no longer maintains a well-established and very popular standard and thus many potential customers decide against a WinPhone. Incidentally, the used by many other automakers hand-free profiles work with the phone. Of course, it then has the known disadvantages.
My BlackBerry can be easily coupled with the Navi after I rSAP enabled in the mobile phone.

All in all a really good smartphone for acceptable price. If you can live with the disadvantages described, will have his joy at 625.
