Nokia Lumia 625 brings large-screen Windows Phone to the midrange

Nokia's aim is to have an attractive Windows Phone at every possible price point and size. They announced the Lumia 625 which brings a 4.7-inch screen as well as LTE data connectivity. The design is also something to note, "rounded surfaces all over – even down to the edges of the glass – give the phone an organic feel like a smooth pebble. Together with a matt finish, this is a smartphone that you want to roll around in your hand." No word yet on Canadian availability or price but there's a good chance that Nokia Canada will offer this with at least one of our carriers.
