Nokia Lumia 620 review: Auxiliary troops

14 February 2013
At this point it should be clear that the future of Nokia rides on the success of the Windows Phone 8 platform. The Fins need the second major WP release to work as the Lumia lineup is Nokia’s only shot at staying afloat in the long run. Samsung and...

      Already launched here in Indonesia, and I'm planning on buying it real soon.

      Just one consideration, does its screen has gorilla glass (or other scratch-resistant) protection?
      I'm not a fan of putting an additional layer (or even accessorizing case) on my gadgets. My iPhone & Nexus 7 don't have such additional protection.

      It's a big plus if its screen does have scratch-resistant protection.

My friend sold his HTC 8S as the memory got full in just under a week. So be careful. Sites like GSM arena, should also mention the user available memory in their speicifications.

                          For the same money I'd rather go for HTC 8s that has a really sleek look. And packs a much bigger battery.
                          I wonder why google isn't introducing it's services to wp because I it will ultimately benefit google, there are few things which users pick google as the obvious choice, like search and maps.

                          I like how camera enhancing apps are aligned in the main camera app, because even I don't directly take pictures from Instagram.

                          There should be one review comparing various wp devices, to actually find out what all differences these phone have in terms of software

                            The screen ppi is not sharp at all. I believe the word used in the review was SHARP. The PPI could be better. These days any smartphone that displays jagged text screams cheap. I know SONY puts at least 260ppi on their budget phones and that looks great on a 3.7 inch screen with 480x800 resolution. The 620 has 246ppi on a 3.8 inch screen with 480x800. So no, Nokia, I refuse to buy products with cheap displays. It's the year 2013 for pete's sake, everybody's going HD. Whoever called the decision on the screen quality should be fired.

                                  Really nice little phone, has all it needs to have and doesn't look too serious or depressive like so many others (ahem, black thin rectangles, rounded corners). It's a phone for people who want to be relaxed and smile when they use it, not something that will feel like they are going to war or something that will turn them into trolls and make them go on message boards to talk about it. Great price too, it's gonna be a top seller.
                                  Good job, Nokia!

                                  (p.s. Elop, send the cash to my usual address)

                                    Seen the phone and it feels very solid and smooth. Can't wait for it to launch in India.

                                      A phone that short, doesn't have to be thin. You can hold it better if it's not too thin. Lumia 620 seems to be tempting for a bunch of new smartphone users, it has all it needs and lacks nothing according to this review. What is also amazing is the fact the people more and more realise what win8 is all about and start appreciating MS's serious RnD against, well you know who... Wp8 is still fresh and it needs more time. As for apps? It covers almost anything. If you think you need more apps, then what you really need is a real life! Cheers!
