Is this the Nokia Lumia 625 smartphone?

In May this year, there had been reports about Nokia working on a new smartphone, dubbed the Lumia 625. GSMInsider had reported that the smartphone in question would sport a 4.7-inch screen, making it one of the largest phones in the Windows Phone 8 line-up. The Nokia Lumia 625 smartphone will be powered by a dual-core MSM8690 Snapdragon S4 processor by Qualcomm.

The resolution on the display will be 800 x 480 pixels, rather low for the large size of the screen. This gets especially puzzling considering the fact that unlike Windows Phone 7, Windows Phone 8 does have support for higher resolutions, including WXGA resolution (1280 x 768 pixels).

Engadget reports that the Nokia Lumia 625 is likely to be available in China at the end of this month for 1999 yuan ($325).
