Various online retailers in India have started selling the Nokia Lumia 625 with a starting price tag of Rs. 19,499, but is the handset worth the buy?
Nokia launched the Lumia 625 on July 23, 2013, and the handset is currently the biggest Windows Phone 8 (WP8)-powered handsets around. The Lumia 625 went up for pre-order on Indian online retailers and was sold out.
"With our largest smartphone screen to date, the Nokia Lumia 625 is a perfect example of how Nokia is delivering leading smartphone innovation and experiences at every price point," said Jo Harlow, executive vice president, Nokia Smart Devices.
Indian online retailer SnapDeal is offering the Lumia 625 at a price tag of Rs. 19,499 (approximately $308). The handset is available in five colors: black, white, orange, green and yellow. SnapDeal is selling all the five colors at the same price point.
Another online retailer, Flipkart, is selling the latest Lumia 625 with a starting price tag of Rs. 19,890 (approximately $309). Flipkart has all five color options on offer as well, but for some reason it is selling different colors at different prices. The retailer is offering the black, white and yellow versions for Rs. 19,890 and the green and orange models of the phone at a slightly higher price of Rs. 20,199 (approximately $314).
However, the Lumia 820 with slightly better specifications has nearly the same price as the Lumia 625 on Flipkart. The retailer is selling the yellow and the white version of the Lumia 820 for Rs. 19,800 (approximately $314).
The Lumia 820 has a better processor, RAM, camera sensor and screen density when compared to the Lumia 620. On the other hand, the Lumia 625 has a bigger display not to be found on any other WP8 handset, as well as a bigger-sized battery that offers more talk-time and standby time than the Lumia 820.
The Lumia 820 has been in the market for quite some time and customers who want to feel a new handset may want to pick the Lumia 625 instead.
