Expert Reviews | Chris Finnamore

It's unusual to see such a large phone at the budget end of a range, so if you're keen on a big screen and 4G the Lumia 625 will certainly appeal. It's also fast and has a good camera.

The Nokia Lumia 625 is a great value 4G phone, and currently the cheapest way to enjoy nippy 4G data speeds. The colourful designs and usual Nokia features give it plenty of appeal for all ages.

The phone is colourful, has replaceable panels, strong performance and great build quality. When you compare it to its bigger brothers though it clearly loses in screen quality and camera credentials.

A classic, colorful Lumia that offers LTE for a reasonable price. But, its obvious flaws mean it could've been so much better.

CNET UK | Andrew Hoyle

The Nokia Lumia 625 doesn't have the same imaging credentials as its bigger brothers, nor does it have the most impressive screen in the business. If screen size is crucial, however, and you want to take advantage of super-fast 4G networks, it's an affordable option that's worth a look.

The Nokia Lumia 625 is one of the cheapest 4G phones you can get. It's colourful, stylish and has the same Windows Phone 8 OS as other Lumia phones. However, the screen is disappointingly low in resolution.

A huge, long-lasting smartphone at an exceptionally keen price - only the limited screen resolution disappoints.

Digital Versus | Florence Legrand

The Nokia Lumia 625 is a good smartphone that gives smooth, responsive performances and has a decent-sized screen. Battery life is impressive too. It's a good choice for anyone looking for a 4G handset that doesn't break the bank. For the performances on offer, it's a great-value buy.

The Nokia Lumia 625 is a decent Windows Phone designed to offer budget buyers big screen usability and 4G speeds. However, with few of the custom Nokia innovations that made other Lumia devices great, it's unlikely to tempt new users to the Windows Phone platform.

The Inquirer | Alastair Stevenson

Considering the Nokia Lumia 625's super affordable price, it is quite a decent phone, and buyers on a budget are unlikely to find a better deal anytime soon.Our only issue is that the device is fairly dull, missing a number of the core innovations that made even Nokia's moderately more expensive previous Lumia's great.
