I am quite sure that you have read many takes on the Nokia Lumia 1020 already, with most of the media’s attention being focused on the massive 41-megapixel sensor that theoretically, should be able to snap some great looking photos, […]

A new Nokia smartphone, the Nokia Lumia 625, pairing budget specifications with a big – albeit low-res – display has been spotted crossing Chinese certification. The new and unannounced phone is fronted by a 4.7-inch screen running at WVGA resolution, while inside there’s said to be a 1.2GHz dualcore Snapdragon S4 processor paired with 512MB of RAM. The listing, at Tenaa, also refers to the handset as the Lumia 625H.
Other specifications are believed to include a super-sensitive touchscreen – for use even when wearing gloves – but not Nokia’s ClearBlack Display technology. The Chinese listing confirms 3G WCDMA and GSM/GPRS, but there’s also said to be LTE inside as well.
The shell is believed to measure in at 133.2 x 72.2 x 10.5 mm while the weight is said to be 161.5g. A 2,000 mAh battery is also expected, along with a 5-megapixel main camera and a VGA front-facing camera.
A little digging turns up some similarities with a Nokia phone that passed through US FCC testing last month as the RM-941.
According to Liveside, the phone is expected to be billed as the “cheapest LTE capable device in the Lumia range”; the site claims it will go on sale at the end of this month, in fact, priced at 1,999 Chinese yuan ($326 unsubsidized).
At 4.7-inches, the Lumia 625 would in fact offer the largest screen on a device in Nokia’s current range. However, the WVGA resolution would put it a long way off from the 720p that the Lumia 920, 925, and 928 offer.

Well, what do we have here? According to China’s official certification website (TENAA), this above is the unannounced Nokia Lumia 625. The handset apparently features a 4.7-inch WVGA screen with super-sensitive touch, 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, 512MB of RAM and 2,000mAh battery — basically a lower-end model. While the listing only mentions GSM / GPRS and WCDMA / HSPA support, the phone supposedly includes LTE, and wraps everything in a unibody design that follows the attractive looks of its smaller cousin, the Lumia 620. In fact, the shape appears to match the RM-941 that passed through the FCC back in June. The device is expected to land in China at the end of July for 1,999 yuan ($325) — just hit the source link below for more info.

Two of the most powerful smartphones ever offered by their respective manufacturers are headed to T-Mobile this week for users hoping to pre-order and get in on the action as soon as possible. One runs Android – that’s the Sony Xperia Z, coming in both black and a rather unique purple version. The other works with Windows Phone 8 – that’s the Nokia Lumia 925, the newest in a line of large-display-toting hero phones from the company birthed for Microsoft’s software all the way back in 2012 with the Nokia Lumia 920 – here in 2013 it’s time to get and go metal.
Both of the devices being sent up by T-Mobile this week have had full reviews here on SlashGear, with the Nokia Lumia 925 review we’ve got working internationally. Our T-Mobile Sony Xperia Z review, on the other hand, has the handset set squarely in the corner of the big pink mobile data carrier.
The Nokia Lumia 925 works with a refined look at what’s also delivered to Verizon with the Lumia 928, it, again, being the newest version of the smartphone first offered in the form of the Lumia 920. Here we’ve got a 4.5-inch 1280 x 768 pixel display working above a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor and a 8.7 MP PureView camera on the machine’s back. Inside is the newest edition of Windows Phone 8. This device is coming up for pre-order on the 17th of this month for $99.99 down and 24 months of $20 USD.
The Sony XPERIA Z is one we’ve reviewed more than once – see our original Sony Xperia Z review to see how it adds up to this USA-bound version. It’s essentially the same device, but seeing the two ever-so-slightly different angles on the device, one from Chris Davies, the other from Vincent Nguyen, should give you a fair view of the machine in the end.
This Xperia Z smartphone packs a fully waterproof body working with a 13-megapixel camera on its back and a 5-inch 1920 x 1080 Full HD display on its front. It’s coming with a Sony Wireless Bluetooth Speaker “gift” if it’s picked up this week from T-Mobile, and just like the purple color form of the device, this offer is limited. The black edition will continue to be available well into the future – both are available for a variety of prices which you can see in our original pricing and pre-order rundown.

Nokia announced the Lumia 1020 last week, and right on schedule, AT&T has flipped the switch on pre-orders for the new device that packs in a 41MP camera. The carrier is accepting them now on their website, and you have your choice of color, as long as your favorite color is either yellow, black, or white.
The phone will cost $299 after signing a new two-year contract (or $660 off-contract), which is quite a bit for a new smartphone even considering its revolutionary camera technology on the inside, making it one of the more expensive on-contract phones to own currently. You can check out our hands-on of the device to learn more.
The Lumia 1020 will be available starting on July 23 and AT&T’s website lists the phone with a ship date of the 23rd, so if you order online, you won’t get your shiny new Lumia 1020 until at least a couple of days after the launch date of the device, which could be a problem for some people that don’t have the patience of waiting around. Furthermore, ordering online and picking up in the store isn’t available for the Lumia 1020 right now.
In slight-related news, the teardowns are beginning to arrive for Nokia’s new device, thanks to a disassembly manual that has popped up online that gives you a step-by-step on how to access the internal guts of the camera-equipped smartphone. It’s no iFixit teardown, but we should be that one sooner or later.
Nokia is also sending out an update for its Lumia range of Windows Phone device that will enable Bluetooth 4.0 in order to support newer fitness-tracking devices and accessories. The Verge says that sources have revealed that the update will allow compatibility with the Fitbit and a range of new accessories that Nokia will be outing soon. Most of Nokia’s Lumia Windows Phone 8 devices will be updated, since many of the devices include a Bluetooth 4.0 chip.
