Remove the cover plate will reveal the battery, SIM tray small (micro-SIM) and external memory card slot. Battery is not removable attached, plug trays and trays SIM card is stacked on the right side of the machine.

Screen
Big screen feature is Nokia’s strategy in this product. 4.7 inch screen of the IPS LCD technology similar patterns Nokia Lumia 720, Nokia Lumia 620 and Nokia Lumia 520. Gorilla Glass 2 screen with curved design at the corners and edges of the screen looks very nice. This screen is ultra-sensitive touch technology, which means that can be used while wearing gloves to press with the nails or even by key.
Despite the big screen, but the resolution of the Lumia 625 only has 800 x 480 pixels similar Lumia 620 and Lumia 520 smaller screen sizes, so the pixel density of 199 PPI with relatively low . When compared with other Lumia devices, the screen of this phone but not sharp with surfing, text remains legible and screen brightness when used indoors.
In the process of using phone indoor environment, we generally put average brightness level (in addition to the automatic mode, the machine has 3 brightness levels are low, medium and high). However, weaknesses in this screen is quite shiny, so slightly difficult to see when using outdoors. Additionally, the glass screen protectors are also prone to fingerprints.
Overall, the Lumia 625 is a mid-range machine easier to understand it can not have a resolution as high as Nokia Lumia 920 and Nokia Lumia 925 If you think Nokia’s goal in this product is aimed at users who want to have a large screen smartphone to surf the resolution of the machine enough to meet the demand.

Because it uses the same type camera of Lumia 620 and Lumia 520 (no flash), quality shots from the Lumia 625 is the same on both machines. Outdoor shots in true color, detail shows good with close-ups, but with wide landscape shots, the noise can be seen quite clearly. In an indoor environment, the snapshot also quite noisy. Overall, the camera which has averaged, if the user needs only enough to share on social networks.
In addition to the main camera applications, phone have images applications interesting including photography applications (gif) can adjust the speed of motion and color effects; Nokia Glam Me app portraits can edit the color, eyes, teeth whitening and color effects; panoramic photography apps and especially photography apps Nokia Smart Cam.
