Nokia Lumia 620 Review- Cheap Windows Phone

Since the arrival of Smartphones in 2009, Nokia has not fared to well. The company had been hugely relying on its Symbian platform that seams pre historic compared to features offered by Android and iOS or any other platform of today. However the company's biggest gamble since its inception i.e. opting for Windows mobile platform has done the, well. Their high end phones ; the Nokia Lumia 920 and 1520 give tough competition to the likes of iPhone and Samsung's galaxy series but Nokia is virtually nonexistent in the mid or lower end market which is dominated by Htc and Samsung. To capture share in the lower end smartphone market Nokia released the Lumia 620.

Review Nokia Lumia 620

The Nokia 620 is an excellent phone, a crippled version of it's two bigger cousins the Nokia 920 and 1520. It may luck the cutting edge feature of a high end feature phone but it wont make you feel crippled for sure. We are going o look into its features in detail.

Form factor:

It  weighs just 127g and  measures ( 4.54x2.41x0.43 in). you can hardly feel it in your jeans' pocket which is quite handy for a phone. The bezels around display are pretty thin and the device is a joy to hold. The device comes in 6 attractive colors and is really well built with matte finishing and definitely does not feel cheap. The controls are pretty comfortable with easy to reach volume rocker buttons and camera button on right and power on/off button on top. The micro sd slot and the sim slot are beneath the back cover. The back cover also hides the 1300 mAh  battery which does a decent joband gives 12 hours of backup on 2g connection.

Connectivity:

Features a micro sim with:-

• GENERAL 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
•  3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

It also feature a class B Gprs with HSDPA, 21 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps  and  Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, dual-band. A 3.0 Bluetooth and NFC completes the connectivity. The set offers almost evry type of connectivity available.

Display:

The 620 features  a 16M color display with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels(246 ppi) which is brilliant for a phone of its caliber. The screen displays vivid colus with deep black,thanks to Nokia's ClearBlack display technology. The display qaulity is great even in bright sunlight.

Specifications:

The 620 is shipped with Windows phone  8  platform. The WP8 on Nokia Lumia phones is more attractive than other phones with a  number of noticeable features. The worst thing about WP8 is a lack of apps but if you don't have a big appetite for apps, you would find no reason to dislike the platform.

It runs on a Dual core 1 Ghz Krait processor with Adreno 305 gpu and would run light and mild games without any lag. The set also features a GLONASS A-GPS chip on board and a compass, accelerometer and a proximity meter. 

Camera:

The 5 megapixel autofocus camera on board does well for a mid-range phone and captures decent stills at 2592x 1936 pixels.  The LED flash illuminates picture thoroughly. The camera also captures videos  t 720p @30fps which is satisfactory. The secondary Vga camera is great for video calls and obviously selfies.

Conclusion

The Nokia 620 is great mid range device and fends of competition from the likes of htc 8s and galaxy ace series by Samsung.  A device that gives a complete package in minimal price  without compromising on quality, the Nokia 620 is one of the best mid ra

The smartness is passed on to the next owner when you lose them. Restraining that Apple and Windows powered smart phones has taken care and launched phone finding option.

After a very long time Google Android operating system started running in our smartphones, Google has decided to launch a device manager which can competently detects the location of your device and give you the access of remote control to your device.

    highest volume, even if it is
    silent mode.

The availability of the service for devices from Android 2.2 is very useful and as simple as ever, Google did not trouble users with device control, here it is just our Google account. You may say that more facilities are provided from standard apps, but the service is not yet launched. The above features are the few of the lot.
Still, the time for such a service is quite delayed in Android devices.
Apple has the service “Find My iPhone”, where you can track your lost iPhone with the help of your iTunes account.

Similar service is available with Windows phone, ironically with the same name as Apple’s “Find My
Phone” options. The Android Device manager service is expected to be launched by the end of August. Most importantly for using the service, we need to install an app from Google to computer.

Greatly and gradually Google is meeting up with the much expected of him, at lest I could be able to take absolute control of my Android devices either off hand or on hand, am not using the word "lost or stolen" cause am not yet to loose mine soon.
