Should I buy Nokia Lumia 625 or Lumia 720? 625 is cheaper than 720.

I wonder what's the main difference between these two models

Please help.

No brainer. 720 all the way

Buy the 625 if a big screen is the only criteria. The 70 beats the 625 in everything else. Screen quality (clear black), resolution (since it is smaller the WVGA resolution looks better on the 720), super camera (6.7 mp Zeiss vs a 5 mp non Ziess) , unibody sleek design, and better battery life (due to smaller screen and clearblack tech)

525 will have same internals as 520. Nothing can beat camera of 720 in its price range. 720 is eyes closed option

Not really unless you are the type of user who would carry a spare battery with you when you travel.

The other problem, phone freezing which requires battery removal will be covered by the reset option present on all phones with non removable battery.

Did you just create an ID in the forum to give a very useless opinion?
BTW the 625 has a better SoC. Similar to Xperia L
The 720 has the same SoC as Xperia M
Though i dont find any difference in performance b/w Xperia M and Xperia L
oh ya, the Powered by Windows OS really cracked me up Lol
