Nokia Lumia 630 Hands on and First Look: Not The Best, But A Decent Smartphone Nonetheless

Nokia Lumia 630- UI, Processor and Battery

The Lumia 630 features a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor coupled with 512MB of RAM. After spending hands on time with the device, the Lumia 630 may look underpowered (512MB of RAM) -but still beats the pants off the competition. And at this point of time, it is tough to comment upon its hardware performance. There is a 8GB of internal storage which can be expandable via a microSD card slot.

The phone is powered by Windows Phone 8.1 mobile OS. Again, the WP8.1 is not about drastic user interface, rather there are more features added like Action Center, and fast typing experience. Being a Nokia-made phone, it obviously comes with Nokia Camera apps, Here Maps and Nokia Drive, to name a few.

Other highlighted features include an 1830mAh battery, which gives at least 12 hours of talk time. The Indian version of Lumia 630 supports dual-SIM (3G+ 2G).

Nokia Lumia 630- Camera

Looks like Nokia has not given much emphasis on enhancing the camera capabilities in its entry level handsets. While the stock Windows Phone Camera UI is simple and easy to get along; however, the phone's 5MP sensor makes no difference at all. And on top of it, the Lumia 630 does not feature an LED Flash. Videos can be recorded at 720p HD. Another bummer with the device is the lack of front-facing camera.

Nokia Lumia 630- One Last Word

The Lumia 630 isn't a perfect phone by today's standards but it will surely keep Nokia at top of the game. The device may look expensive but doesn't disappoint at all. The interchangeable covers come in sizzling colors, making it worth to check out at least once.

The missing LED Flash, a front-facing camera and a dedicated camera key--- is something disappointing. Nokia says the Lumia 630 will hit Indian market by summers. GizBot expects the device to be priced around Rs. 11,000 price range. Stay tuned to GizBot for more updates!
