Nokia's recently unveiled smartphone Lumia 625 has been spotted at Indian online stores.

Before the Finnish company could officially announce Lumia 625's availability in India, an online store, Home Shop 18 has listed the smartphone, mentioning that the big-screen handset would be released by August end. Another e-commerce website Infibeam too listed the same device without revealing details regarding the price and the actual date of release.

Then the pre-order window for the metal-clad Lumia 925 (₹33,999) opened up at e-commerce websites on Friday, making many believe that the Lumia 625 would also go on sale soon.
