Nokia Lumia 625, a large-screen smartphone for the budget conscious

If you’re looking for a large-screen smartphone but don’t want to spend too much, Nokia may have you covered.

The Finnish phone maker unveiled Tuesday the Lumia 625, a 4.7-inch smartphone built for users on a budget.

Nokia said it will be available to users for about $290 before any carrier subsidies, which are common in the U.S. That’s about half the cost of other smartphones with large screens.
