Nokia Lumia 630/635 review: Bottom up

23 May 2014
One of the first phones to launch straight to Windows Phone 8.1, the Lumia 630 is also the first to bring dual-SIM support to the platform. That said, we should note right at the start that we’re reviewing the regular, single-SIM version...

    Lumia 630 with 512MB RAM is only faster than Galaxy S4 with 1GB of RAM it would be faster than Galaxy S5. Windows Phone is optimized for speed and stability due to using only Snapdragon chipsets.

      AnonD-23532, 31 May 2014Can maps be used without the internet? Of course. You can have GPS voice navigation on the whole planet while offline with no internet.

            No windows phone allows choice of keyboard. Quite astonishing really for a new technology. not everyone wants a qwerty. It would be a welcome choice to also have an alpha numeric key pad. It offers bigger real-estate for button selection and speed of text.

                        Nokia its self is a good fone. But idont dig its choice of colours. These bright colours blue green red yellow ishh. Isn't such a polite choice. A coporate man cannot buy a fone which is a yellow one. Don't be mean about the screens. Make them larger and wider. #Thanks goes to Nokia's Camera department.

                                No ambient light and proximity sensors, not mentioning flash and front camera - this is ridiculous. This is not a smartphone - this is featurephone.

                                  Jeebus, 25 May 2014Dude, this phone was designe before the buyout went through... moreOh really, now don't say that the deal wasn't final nearly 2 year's ago. It was Microsoft from the start, from Lumia 800, not Nokia. Nokia was dead long ago, their last exclusively designed phone was N8.

When I used Here maps on the slow 1020, it feel very laggy. But when I'm using the same Here maps on 1520, everything is so snappy!
