Description

Nokia Lumia 620 is company's most affordable Windows Phone 8 smartphone to date. We are dealing with a compact device tailored for the needs of the younger crowd. And what better way to attract youngsters than to treat a phone to a flashy paint job? That's exactly what the Nokia Lumia 620 has to differentiate itself with. Its maker has applied what it calls a "dual-shot" color technique, which means that a layer of translucent or transparent polycarbonate is laid over the bottom color coat. This produces secondary color blends and adds texture effects to the smartphone's shell. The Nokia Lumia 620 has a 3.8-inch ClearBlack TFT LCD screen with a resolution of 800 by 480 pixels. It is equipped with a dual-core Snapdragon S4 Plus processor running at 1GHz, 512MB of RAM, and a pair of cameras: a 5-megapixel main one with auto-focus and LED flash, and a VGA front-facing snapper. 8GB of storage are on board, but they can be expanded with the use of a microSD card. The 1,300mAh battery should be good for almost 10 hours of talk time.

Best low-end smartphone of 2013
Phone owned for more than a year

I had it for more than two years, still working like first day :)

The OS is pretty optimized, working flawlessly when using a stable Windows Phone.

For the last month I have been using Windows 10 Mobile in the phone, and it works fast (although is in beta at the moment of writing this), so I have been upgrade guaranteed for... 36 MONTHS! That's kind of incredible on the current smartphone market and being a so low-end phone.

Nice device, but not finished
Phone owned for less than 3 months

After 6 years I decided to go with new phone.. Well I can't say I love it. It's very controversial device with lots of cons and pros. but objectively best in my price range at the date I was buying it. Updates of the OS could make it better in the future. We shall see.

WP8 is like very good high end car, with good quality built, fast and reliable but.. without mirrors, windshields, speedometer, exhaust manifold etc.. car still can drive without this parts but we talking about basic things here. Lack of them is a joke.

best phone available in the market at this price level
Phone owned for less than a year

This windows mobile beats almost every mid range mobile with its awesome features.... no android mobile can come close to it. the only thing missing is a good app store which windows don't have. if windows store can provide apps just like the android store, then no one can beat this phone
