ノキア ルミア 625 レビュー

Listen to article

7 月に発表されたLumia 625は、Nokia のLumia 620の後継機であり、同社が現在提供する手頃な価格の Windows Phone 8 スマートフォンで、 LTE 接続機能を搭載した最初のモデルです。前作と比較すると確かに大幅に改善されていますが、いくつかの妥協点もあります。Nokia Lumia 625 の完全なレビューは以下をご覧ください。

設計と建設

Lumia 625 は、昨年 12 月に発表された Lumia 620 と比較するとかなりアップグレードされています。より大きなディスプレイにより、サイズも大きくなり、見た目の美しさも向上しています。

デバイスの前面には、Gorilla Glass 2を装着した4.7インチディスプレイが搭載されています。上部には受話口とフロントカメラがあり、下部には3つの静電容量式ボタン(戻る、ホーム、検索)が配置されています。

右側には音量ボタン、電源/ロックボタン、専用カメラキーが配置されており、左側には物理ボタンは一切ありません。上部にはヘッドフォンジャックがあり、下部にはマイクロUSBポートとマイク用の小さな穴があります。

裏返すと、500 万画素カメラ、LED フラッシュ、スピーカーが見えます。背面カバーを外すと、取り外し不可能なバッテリーと、microSIM および microSD カード用のスロットが確認できます。

手元では、このデバイスが非常に良く作られていると言えるでしょう。マットなボディはデバイスにきっちりとフィットしており、ユニボディーのように見せることさえ可能です。

Gorilla Glass の曲線加工されたエッジが、Lumia 625 のすっきりとしたデザインにさらに磨きをかけます。唯一の問題は、背面シェルが指紋や汚れを非常に引きつけやすいことであり、特に汗ばんだ手の場合はその傾向が強まります。それ以外は、Lumia 625 はしっかりとした作りで、自慢したくなる製品です。

ディスプレイ

Lumia 625 は、Lumia 620 の 3.8 インチ TFT ディスプレイに比べて大幅な改善となる 4.7 インチの IPS LCD を搭載しています。ディスプレイサイズと画質は向上していますが、ノキアは解像度を 480×800 に据え置いたため、ピクセル密度は Lumia 620 の 246 ppi と比較して 199 ppi で低くなっています。

lumia 625_display

はい、ピクセルは識別できますが、全体的な視聴体験を損なうほどではありません。クリアブラック技術はありませんが、屋外での使用性は明るさを最大まで上げれば許容範囲です。

lumia 625_display1

その見返りとして、Lumia 625 は前機種と比較してより優れた視野角、より正確な色再現性、そしてより大きな画面領域を提供します。さらに、ノキアのスーパー・センシティブ・タッチ(SST)技術を搭載しており、手袋をしたままや爪だけでディスプレイを操作することが可能です。

OS、UI およびアプリ

Lumia 625 は、箱出しで Windows Phone 8 OS と最新のLumia Amberアップデートを搭載しています。UIの操作方法については大きな変更はありません。通常のリサイズ可能なタイルを縦にスクロールでき、右からスワイプするとインストールされているすべてのアプリの一覧が表示されます。

lumia 625_ui2

アプリについて言えば、以下のような新しいアプリが利用可能です:

Nokia Cinemagraph - 移動する被写体をループ動画として作成し、それ以外の部分は静止させたままにできます。また、エフェクトやフィルターを追加することも可能です。

Nokia クリエイティブスタジオ - 専用写真編集アプリ。

Nokia スマートカム - モーションフォーカス、アクションショット、移動するオブジェクトの削除、顔の変更などの特徴を備えた被写体を撮影できます。

アプリについて言えば、Lumia 625 は、HERE Drive、HERE マップ、Nokia Xpress といった、通常の Nokia WP8 アプリを標準搭載しています。また、Microsoft の Office、Internet Explorer、Hotmail も組み込まれています。

lumia 625_ui3

Windows Phone のアプリストアは、SNS に接続する個人が必要とする基本的なアプリを提供します。例えば Facebook、Twitter、Foursquare、LinkedIn、Skype、Viber、WeChat、WhatsApp、Line などのチャットアプリなどです。高品質なアプリも多数ありますが、BlackBerry と同様、まだ主要タイトルが不足しています。

lumia 625_ui4

使用可能なストレージもやや限られており、内蔵の 8GB のうち最大で 5GB しか利用できません。ただし、拡張したい場合は microSD カードスロットが用意されているので安心です。

マルチメディア

Lumia 625 の 4.7 インチディスプレイは、動画視聴においてより小さな前作よりも優れた体験をもたらします。解像度にこだわらないのであれば、お気に入りの映画を楽しむには十分です。さらに、このデバイスは 1080p ファイルを何ら問題なく再生できます。

lumia 625_multimedia

スピーカーの性能については、背面にある小さなスピーカーは通知や着信音を聞くには十分な音量ですが、より豊かな聴覚体験を提供することはできません。

音楽や映画を視聴する際に低音が不足しており、非常に頼りないと感じます。そのため、外部スピーカーまたは高品質なヘッドフォンの使用を強く推奨します。

Camera

The Lumia 625 uses the same 5 megapixel rear camera and VGA front-facing of its predecessor. We don't expect much from a camera of this caliber but it will do for photos that need to be uploaded on Facebook or Twitter.

Take a look at the sample shots below:

[fancygallery id="51" album="54"]

Video recording capabilities get an upgrade as well, from 720p/30fps quality of the Lumia 620, it can now record at 1080p/30fps. Watch the sample video below and don't forget to view it on 1080p:

Performance and Benchmarks

Running under the hood of the Lumia 625 are the dual-core Qualcomm MSM8930 Snapdragon CPU clocked at 1.2GHz, an Adreno 305 GPU, and 512MB of RAM. Performance is good for a smartphone of its kind and we found UI transitions to be smooth without any noticeable lag.

As for benchmarks, we used MultiBench 2 and PhoneMark. Take a look at the results below:

multibench_results_625

If you like playing games, the Lumia 625 can deliver a very decent experience especially if you're just running average apps that don't demand much resources. Try to go beyond what it can provide and the small 512MB RAM will surely get in the way.

Battery Life

Powering the device is a 2,000mAh non-removable battery. This is a 700mAh jump from the 1,300mAh of the Lumia 620. It should be able to provide you enough juice to last the whole day if you're just using it for moderate calls, texts, and heavy browsing via WiFi. Turn on battery saver mode and it should provide you with some extra power depending on how you use it.

We did our usual test by allowing to play a 1080p video on loop on Airplane mode with 50% brightness and 0% volume. The result is 15.3 hours worth of playback which is great.

Conclusion

The Nokia Lumia 625 aims to become a really great successor to the Lumia 620 with its larger and better screen, bigger battery, and faster CPU. Not to mention that it carries a solid build and sleek design that Nokia is known to deliver.

On the downside, the small RAM and low resolution can be serious issues especially for those looking forward to play graphic intensive apps and watch videos in high-resolution. Gamers and screen resolution-demanding individuals should look away from this device.

However, the Nokia Lumia 625 has another feature up its sleeves that can compensate for its disadvantages, and that is LTE connectivity. At Php13,200 SRP, the Lumia 625 is one of the cheapest LTE-enabled smartphone you can get to date.

“My reputation and public persona will probably be negatively affected in a fashion that cannot be reduced to some
dollar amount,” Tila told a Los Angeles judge, as though her reputation could easily get any
worse. Kardashian’s first reaction ended up being deny she
was involved within the sex tape in a way. Kim, Kanye
and Baby North West tested of the hospital late Thursday night to counteract the

The true filmaholic hears a song from the soundtrack and knows exactly where

Does this have a file manager like in Android wherein you copy your movies, music, documents in SC card and you can open it directly when inserted to the phone?

Hello just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know
a few of the pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why
but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.

Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time making a decision between
BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for
something unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!

@Windows iDroid yep i know pero given na kulang pa talaga sa apps ang windows, sana di nila nirestrict ung mga popular apps sa 1gig mas lalo lang silang nahihirapan na iimprove pa ung apps…tska ung tungkol sa 5gig mali ata pagkakaintindi mo tinutukoy ko jan eh internal storage hindi RAM lol

Not to mention sa globe mo lang pala magagamit ang LTE nito, e dahil sa bandwidth capping ng globe, malamang at LTE speeds 1 hr mo lang magagamit ang internet mo sa LTE tapos kaput ka na. :(

Is this compatible with Smart and Globe’s LTE network?

it only supports LTE bands 800 / 1800 / 2600 so Globe only unless Smart deploys fully all of their 3 lte bands

CarlosJhunie · 13 years ago

So Lumia 625 will operate in LTE bands 1800 of Globe. If I want to be in the Smart network, I should use Lumia 925 which is compatible with Smart LTE band 2100.

DR
DRA · 13 years ago

technically yes, unless smart will fully deploy all the frequencies they use so even a phone with 1800mhz can use their lte service

amielDH · 12 years ago

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought Smart already uses the 1800 band for their LTE. :(

I wish they could have bumped the screen to 720p but I guess the RAM and proc may not be enough to handle. Can’t beat the LTE and battery life though!
