Nokia Lumia 625’s features and specifications.

Processing Power

The Lumia 625 is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, and has 512MB of RAM. It scored a decent 1,133ms on the Sunspider JavaScript benchmark. This means that web browsing will be mostly glitch-free! Though this handset ships with only 8GB of memory, you can add a microSD card to increase it to 64GB.

Battery Life

Nokia Lumia 625 has a 2,000mAh battery with more than fifteen hours of battery life. Video playback might bring that down to about nine hours. Wireless charging is not an option on this device.

Design

The Lumia 625, like other models of the Lumia series, has been designed with a lot of care. It has a smooth curved back, and the screen’s glass front has a slight curvature to its edges. This is definitely a nice touch, and gives the phone an organic feel. This is something that most people wouldn’t expect on a budget phone.

The Lumia 625 is 9mm thick, and weighs 159gms. The handset is built from sturdy rubberized polycarbonate, which gives it a premiere look. The phone has a two-layered part-translucent finish, and comes with interchangeable multi-colored back covers to complement your mood or outfit. The Lumia 625 is available in yellow, orange, red, green, black and white.

Screen

The Lumia 625 has a 4.7″ IPS LCD, which is the largest amongst the Lumia series. It is sure to give tough competition to the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4, in terms of display size. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 2, and has a WVGA resolution of 480×800 with a pixel density of 201 PPI. Unfortunately, this does result in some pixelation, and you might need to zoom in to read web pages. 

However, the Nokia Lumia 625 comes with many advanced features like the color enhancement, sunlight readability enhancement, and high brightness mode. The panel also has super sensitive touch, which allows users to tap with their fingernails and with gloves on. The LCD screen has good viewing angles, and the colors are quite dynamic. Despite a big viewing panel, the phone is still compact enough to be used with only one hand.

Connectivity

The Lumia 625 is 4G/LTE-ready and is also equipped with Wi-Fi b/g/n, LE, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS as well as GLONASS for positioning.

On the down side, this phone doesn’t come with NFC. Though this probably won’t bother most people, this missing feature won’t let the Nokia Lumia 625 connect with wireless speakers and headphones. You also won’t be able to tap your phone in order to share information with others.

Software

The Lumia 625 is powered by Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 OS, and is loaded with Amber, the latest OS update. Your phone’s home screen will be lit with colorful tiles that direct you to your apps. Customers can also access the Windows Marketplace app store, and be a part of Windows Phone 8′s social network integration.

Camera

The Lumia 625 has a 5MP camera, which is accompanied by a LED flash and a HD microphone. The front-facing camera has VGA resolution, and shoots 1080p HD video at 30fps. The camera has different modes like normal, panorama, cinemagraph, and one which allows you to take 7 photographs in quick succession. The phone comes with a dedicated camera button.

Apps

Lumia 625 comes with pre-installed Nokia apps like HERE Transit, HERE Maps, and HERE Drive Beta which offers free offline GPS navigation. You can also listen to music, thanks to a free subscription to Nokia Music. The Smart Camera app, seen on higher models of the Lumia, allows you to take a series of shots, each one having a different exposure. You can then choose the photo you like best to freely edit and animate it.

Value For Money

The aim of the designers has been to craft a phone that makes the benefits of 4G affordable to the masses. With a large screen, 7GB of free SkyDrive cloud storage, and a 4G chip, Nokia has certainly been able to do that.

Verdict

The Nokia Lumia 625 falls in the budget category, but has been made without too many compromises. It works well, and looks and feels good, which will probably make it a real option in the mid-range market. Nokia has made this device with a specific aim in mind, which is to sell a 4G smartphone with half the cost of an Android device. Customers who buy a Lumia 625 will be ready to jump onto the flourishing 4G network without burning a hole in their pocket!

If I quickly explain what the 2 functions for how your website is displayed on desktop and mobile devices, then I will go into how to solve the problem.

Responsive Design

All good WordPress themes come with the responsive design option. This is usually a check box in your themes option menu. If you login to your WordPress dashboard, there will be an option on the left menu with the theme name. Browse through the options, usually in the ‘layout’ or ‘general’ menu. Make sure this ‘Responsive Design’ box is checked.

Responsive Design means your website will be re-sized and adjusted to load and display correctly on any mobile device. With more people using mobile devices to visit websites, it is important your website is responsive. The last thing you want is a potential client visiting your site and it doesn't load correctly!

Viewport Tag

The problem most WordPress users have is how their website looks on mobile devices. Yes they load very quickly but they are not very appealing to visitors.

The viewport tag in most WordPress themes automatically adjusts the layout to fit the device your site is viewed on. This usually cuts off some important features from your website or just makes everything into one long list.

How To Display Your Site On Mobile Device

Before you follow the below steps you should always make a backup of your files. I have tested this process on multiple themes and they all worked correctly, this may not work for all themes. If you are unsure, or have made a mistake, please contact an experienced web design company to check your themes WordPress files or comment below for any support.

Step One

Login to your WordPress dashboard. Click ‘Appearance’ then ‘Editor’.

Step Two

You will now be shown all your themes files. These files control the look and feel of your site so you need to be very careful when editing. Connect to your websites files through your FTP account to backup the file were about to edit. If there is a problem after editing, you can easily upload your file to restore the original settings.

File navigation to backup header.php file:

public_html > wp-content > themes > SELECT CURRENT THEME NAME >

Now download and save the header.php file. If there are any problems after editing just upload the header.php file back to the above directory to restore your original view.

Step Three

On the right hand side of your WordPress menu you will see a list of file names. Click on ‘Header’ (header.php). This will now load your header file for editing.

Step Four

Scroll down the Header file until you see the below line of code.

Delete this line of code. Do not delete anything else. Now click ‘Update File’.

Step Five

Before you check your website on your mobile device, check it still looks correct on your desktop computer. You may need to clear your websites cache and browser cache to view the latest version of your website.

Your website should look exactly the same as before you deleted this code. If it doesn't, upload the saved header.php file back to the stated directory.

Now check your website on your mobile device. Instead of your site being a long list, you should see a scaled down version of your website. If not, upload your header.php file back to the directory.

If everything has worked correctly, you should now have a great looking website that displays on mobile devices!

But all this growth with mobile traffic has left traditional publishers scrambling to find a good solution to monetize the mobile versions of their website. 

How can bloggers continue to see revenue streams from their content even with the constant stream of readers who are switching over to mobile use?

Here are four great places to start:

AdSense for Mobile

If you’ve monetized the traditional version of your site in any way, chances are you’ve likely been involved with Google AdSense at some point. Google is now making it easier to integrate their platform with your mobile site, and still matched ads to the content you’re publishing so you can still earn money when visitors click the ads. AdSense for Mobile can also detect which device your mobile readers are using and tailors those ads for their device.

youAPPi

Instead of getting paid to have your visitors click on ads for other sites or products, you can do something similar, only with native ads for related content. youAPPi uses unique app recommendation technology to recommend apps to your mobile readers based on their past content history. Readers find great new apps they’re interested in easily, developers get better exposure for their apps, and you get a commission each time one of your users downloads a recommended app. Now that’s a win-win-WIN situation.

Kiip

ComScore data for 2012 reported that 82% of media time on smartphones is consumed in apps. Maybe you've gone beyond creating just a mobile website, and also have an app for the content you publish? If that’s the case, Kiip can be a great revenue opportunity that keeps your readers coming back for more, too. Kiip-enabled apps have access to rewards and coupons from the world’s largest brands to reward users for engaging with your app. You set the specifications for how readers can achieve rewards, and your readers keep coming back for more deals!

Rythym

If your online content doesn't just consist of text and images, but also includes video, Rhythm could be a great option to help you monetize that content as well. Rhythm is the industry’s mobile video leader, and offers a variety of different video advertising options including tap-to video, in-banner video, interactive in-stream video, and interactive pre-roll video.

The shift to mobile content doesn't have to mean the end of your revenue stream that you worked for years to perfect! With these four tools—and the many others that are available—you can continue to fund the great content that your readers love.

Every year, thousands of children go missing. A report reveals that a child goes missing in the UK every 3 minutes and the travesty is getting worse. In many parts of the world, losing a child is not something we should be lackadaisical about. In mere seconds, a child could be removed from the watchful eye of parents, in mere hours, removed from the state or the country

One of the better ways to keep watch over our young ones is with their smartphones. Data plans are getting cheaper and most smartphones nowadays have either GPS capabilities or data connections.

You might be a parent who is not keen on letting your child be exposed to a smartphone at too young an age, but bear with us and read on, these safety (free) apps may possibly change your mind

1. Sygic Family

Sygic Family keeps your family safe by allowing you to check the real-time location and the battery levels of your family members’ smartphones. You can also track your children’s whereabouts, or have them check-in periodically to let you know where they are and if they have arrived at their destination safely.

The app also has an in-built messaging system which lets you send messages for free over an Internet connection. You can also set Safe or Unsafe zones – a notification will be sent to you when they enter or leave these zones. There is also an SOS button available in this app, which lets you send out your exact location at the tap of the button. You never know when you might need it.

Platform: iOS | Android

2. Life360

Life360 has pretty much the same things Sygic has: GPS locations of your family members via their smartphones, a panic button, and alerts when some one enters a preset zone (e.g. gets home). It also lets you check where they have been (location history), where to get help in an emergency (hospitals, police stations), and allows you to have group chats.

If you don’t have a smartphone, you can still use this with a mobile phone at RM4.99 per month, for up to 5 mobile phones (only in the U.S.). A text message will be sent to them and once they consent to it, their location would be tracked and sent back to you. The app tries its best to not be a monitoring app but more of a communication tool to help bring families closer together and safer too.

Platform: iOS | Android | Blackberry

3. MamaBear

Here is another great app for keeping your children safe; the difference is, it also helps keep your child safe online. MamaBear has a feature to keep watch over your child’s Facebook feed. You will be alerted to any signs of bullying or use of crude language as well as when they check-in or get tagged on their friends’ photos. The team is working on doing the same for Twitter and Instagram profiles.

Offline, you will receive alerts for when they leave a place, when they need to be picked up, when they are driving or riding past a certain speed limit, or when they explicitly need you in an SOS cry for help. This app will give you either peace of mind or great conversation starters on talking about speeding, truancy, open communication channels, and how to stay safe at all times.

       Platform: iOS | Android

4. Google Latitude

Google Latitude is less of an app and more of a tracking tool. It allows you to see where your family members are on a map, and easily keep in touch with them. To use it, sign in to Google Latitude and start adding your family members via their Gmail contacts. When they accept, you can see their locations on Google Map on your phone.

5. MobileKids

This is the odd one out, but some parents may require this level of monitoring for their children. Receive alerts when your kids have been using their mobile phones in the middle of the night, when they add a new unrecognized contact, or when they download a new app. Parents will also get statistics about their children’s mobile usage, which they can use to set usage limits (premium account)

There is still the much sought-after location feature, with a slight twist. The SOS button and Check-In feature is in but more interestingly, the child can request for their parents to track their movement live via GPS tracking, something like remotely ‘walking’ them to their destination.

Platform: iOS | Android

Bonus

Here’s a nifty app that we hope parents never actually need to use, but in the case of a child that has been briefly separated from the parents in crowded or very large places, this may help them locate the child faster.

FBI’s Child ID App

FBI’s Child ID App is designed by the FBI for parents to keep their children’s photos and important data, such as their height, weight, eye and hair color which can be emailed to the authorities at the tap of a button. The app also includes safety checklists and advice for parents to help keep thier children safe.

Platform: iOS | Android

But do you really need that much storage space? 128GB is quite absurd for a mobile device, considering that you can do so much more with it on a 128GB solid state drive in a laptop. Then again, it depends on what you put in it.

Let’s take a look at the optimum amount of storage space you need.

Space Hoggers – The Culprits

One fo the major problems many smartphone and tablet users experience is running out of space to store their content, content such as:

1. Photos

Everyone takes photos with their smartphones: kids, pets, airplane window shots, selfies, food, a new purchase etc. The point is it is so easy to take a snapshot these days that we almost always overdo it. Plus, photos taken with smartphones are improving in quality, which is why you might see them to reach 4MB per photo.

Using that as an estimate benchmark, 1GB would hold about 256 photos:

16GB = 4096 photos

32GB = 8192 photos

64GB = 16384 photos

128GB = 32768 photos

To make it simpler, if you take 10 photos a day, you’ll fill up 16GB in a little over a year.

But If You Are A: "Photographer"

Photography Addicts, instagrammers and new parents be warned, the photos you take can take up a lot of storage space, very quickly. By housekeeping your device once in a while, you can probably survive on 16GB but if you create albums after albums of retakes, this is going to run out pretty quickly.

Note however that housekeeping doesn’t mean that you have to delete all your photos (ok, some of the failed ones), it just means you should transfer them to your computer or to a larger storage space for better safekeeping.

Verdict: 16GB or 32GB – 16GB is quite enough for smartphone quality photos. If this is a professional route for you, try shifting to using a digital camera instead.

2. Game Apps & Videos

Apps have also grown in size since its birth. These days high-ranked games can go from between 40MB to over the 1GB mark per game. Nicer graphics, faster response time, more complicated gameplay, storylines etc, contribute to the hallmark of popular games played by a global audience, and a lot of these games rake in millions every year. But I digress.

Here are some of the more addictive games you would probably find on the random iPad.

Angry Birds Star Wars 2 – 44.3MB

Plants vs. Zombies 2 – 44.7MB

Minion Rush – 45.5MB

Candy Crush Saga – 45.6MB

Temple Run 2 – 46.8MB

Fruit Ninja HD – 49.3MB

Asphalt 8: Airborne – 884MB

FIFA14 – 1.17GB

Infinity Blade 3 – 1.4GB

But If You Are A: 2010s Parent

The iPad is a great tool to keep kids (and sometimes adults) entranced and sitting still in a corner. Parents these days know the effect Angry Birds can have on a rowdy child, and if you happen to come across this dynamo duo on your 3-hour flight, you may probably object less to a child being enamored with colorful and fun games that will keep them entertained until touchdown.

A savvy parent’s tablet might also include some video content like cartoons for the kids to watch and probably an abundance of learning apps. Videos can take up a lot of space (around 300MB), buta few videos can easily provide hours of entertainment, so long as they don’t bore of it quickly.

Bear in mind, while there are replacements required, you might want to keep the older apps intact in case there is a demand for an encore out of the blue.

Verdict: 16GB – It is not like photo-snapping where you stockpile snap after snap on a daily basis. One well-designed app can keep the other apps at bay for a relatively long time.

3. Music

Music can help kill time while commuting on public transport, studying, jogging or even swimming. If you’re one who cannot go a day without music, there are bound to be music files on your mobile device – and the need for ample storage.

However, when you crunch the numbers, based on a 4-min song being 5MB heavy, 1GB would give you roughly 200 songs (most of which you will skip through) aka 13 hours of continuous playback aka way more than your battery can survive through per charge.

But If You Are A: Music Junkie

Opt for online radio services like Pandora and Spotify instead. With these radio services, you don’t have to lug around your entire song collection on your device anymore, leaving space for other materials. If data connection is a problem where you are, Spotify’s premium service also lets you create personal playlists and download songs to play offline.

If, however, you’re an audiophile that enjoys only top quality music, more than anything else, you might prefer FLAC files stored on your device, in which case 32GB should be more than enough.

Verdict: 16GB or 32GB – Alternatively, you can always tune in to a regular radio station like how we did in the 90′s.

4. Documents & Reading Material

People who enjoy reading are in luck as reading materials do not take up much storage. Unless it’s a comic or very visually laden, carrying around 1GB of free ebooks is equivalent to a library that fits in your tablet or smartphone.

But If You Are: Always Taking Work Home

There might be a need for higher capacity storage if the device needs to be filled with business related apps, utilities and large PDF manuals that load faster outside of the cloud, but if you can charge it to the company, 128GB sounds like a good deal. (We kid. We have solutions if you happen to need more than 32GB.)

Verdict: 16GB or 32GB

All the above are common culprits of space hoggers in your mobile device so while 32GB will more than suffice, if you need more storage later on, you can always fall back on cloud storage apps, micro SD cards and OTG cables.

Cloud Storage

Our favorite cloud storage app for music, video, ebooks and doc files is Dropbox with its many desktop Dropbox tools and apps that support many file types. There are of course other alternatives, depending on your requirements e.g. the Google Drive app is handy for document editing.

Micro SD Cards

Certain Android and Windows devices provide the option of expanding your storage space with a micro SD card. This is a very inexpensive option to give you another 32GB (or sometimes 64GB if it’s supported) that will cost less than $20.

On The Go USB Cables

These OTG USB cables for Android devices allow users to transfer data in and out from the Android device to a USB flash drive, an external hard disk, or other storage form. This allows another form of storage expansion and to access files outside of the device’s internal storage.

Apple also has an iPad camera connection kit for you to export pictures from your photo gallery. This gives you the option of housekeeping without a computer and freeing more space for more photos.

Conclusion

So there you have it, 16GB or at most 32GB, is more than enough for anyone to survive on due to the little amount of time we spend on mobile devices. Larger storage does give you room to hoard more files before a springclean is needed but if you aren’t a power user, you can spend the extra $100-$200 on other things.

Come to think of it, tell us how you would optimize the usage of 64GB or 128GB of storage space on a smartphone or tablet in the comments area below.
