Nokia Lumia 620 preview: First look

21 December 2012
The Lumia 820 and Lumia 920 give Nokia all the presence they need in the higher WP8 circles, but a smart maneuver has helped HTC emerge as a serious threat in the lower midrange. The Finns, who are obviously having none of that, responded swiftly to the Windows Phone 8S...

Lumia 620 is faster than Galaxy S3 in browser tests because of WP8. Android is a resource hog and buggy OS.

    If the Lumia 620 already owns the 8S' ass, I wonder how the Lumia 720, which will probably have exactly the 8S' screen size (4.0"), will fare...!

                                        I don't think Apple is intentionally removing features from their products, not at all. They just don't believe that the device is meant for that function.

                                        I believe how Apple works is sort of like dictatorship. And that's the reason for its appeal and repulsion. Apple will tell you exactly how the phone should be, how you should use it, and what you use it for. The same goes for their other devices (tablets, computers).

                                        That's why the iPhone has only one size, 3.5"; the iPad is 9.7", and so on.

                                        They don't really give options to the consumers. And some people like that. I don't. But at least they have a strong principle.

                                        Samsung on the other hand, I think are simply inventing their products based on what would sell. Their portfolio of mobile products are just not appealing to me.

                                        In a way, they're completely different from Apple by allowing the consumer to have the freedom to decide on what kind of function they should have on the phone, what kind of size it should be, but by sacrificing the simplicity and the neatness and Apple so strongly possess.
