Smartphone Nokia 620: review, features and reviews of the owners. Specifications of Nokia Lumia 620

Recently, Nokia has provided less and less time for users to prepare for the release of the next device after its announcement. Thus, the Nokia 620 model was announced in December 2012, but already in early January appeared on the shelves of domestic stores. It is worth noting the fact that among all smartphones that use the operating system Windows Phone 8, this device was the most affordable. Thus, the price of Nokia 620 even at the time of release of the device was only 12 000 rubles, not to mention how affordable it is for modern users.

Key Features

From its closest competitor - the HTC 8S - this device is not so big screen size, but it's an order of magnitude more volumetric built-in memory. In addition, special attention should also be paid to the presence of a rather good front camera, compact dimensions of this device, the availability of replacement panels and a number of other features. Thus, it turns out a fairly balanced smartphone, which is provided to users for a relatively small amount, and also represents one of the most optimal options for those people who have not used Windows Phone 8 devices before.

Design

At once it is worth noting the fact that in terms of design, the Nokia 620 does not have any borrowed elements from flagship devices that are characterized by a fairly long continuity. The appearance of this unit is quite fresh and that is why it is so unusual. The very first thing that catches the eye of any user is the compact dimensions of this device, a small frame and an indent from the top edge. Also worth noting is the fact that, thanks to this, the Nokia 620 has a much more compact appearance compared to its competitors, and the dimensions of this device are exactly the same as in the iPhone 4S with a smaller screen size.

Due to the features of the back panel, the ends are rounded, so that the device can easily fit into the pockets of pants or jackets without any problems, and if in the case of the 920 model the sharp corners are not always comfortable, then when working with this device everything is exactly the opposite.

Colors

Special attention should be paid to a wide variety of colors, as in this case the choice is even richer compared to the older models Lumia 820 and 920. There is an attractive matte blue color, as well as a green one, which is the brightest in the entire line.

Specialized replacement panels can be called a highlight of this device, and in spite of the fact that they do not carry a variety of functionality in themselves, they use an unusual coloring technology.

Housing

According to the developer, for the production of panels used a specialized transparent, colored or translucent polycarbonate, applied over the main layer, so that the company was able to significantly expand the color palette, as well as provide a kind of visual effect of depth. It is worth noting the fact that in photographs this may be unnoticeable, but you can get an approximate idea. Thus, you can see, for example, how the inscription Nokia is slightly above the surface, and in particular this effect is noticeable if Nokia "Lumiya 620" is equipped with a glossy panel.

At the moment, you can find seven different options for coloring the panels, which opens up a wide variety of users. At the same time, users often notice in their reviews that the panels do not change as hard as in the same "Lumiya 820" - just simply securely rest on the camera module and pull the panel by the edges.

If we talk about components, the developer provided us with a standard set. In the lower end there is a speaker on the back surface, while on the ends you can find the volume, camera and lock buttons.

Platform

The flagship model is based on a platform called Snapdragon Qualcomm, while the inexpensive 620 series device uses a less serious graphics accelerator called Adreno 305, which was given special attention by some users, leaving a review. The Nokia 620 in its work shows almost the same performance as the older models, which is quite an important advantage. Given the presence of not the highest resolution of the screen, the speed of this device is ideal, because the device does not brake, regardless of the conditions in which it is used.

The rest of the Nokia 620 features are no longer as impressive. There is 8 GB of internal memory, 512 MB of RAM, as well as the possibility of adding a separate microSD memory card. The rest is a standard set that allows you to connect to any communication standards.

Working hours

Many users of this device note the fact that the most capacious battery of a smartphone is practically invisible. The capacity of 1300 mAh is an order of magnitude smaller compared to the advanced Lumia 920, and even significantly less compared to its main competitor, the HTC 8S, which has a device with a capacity of 1700 mAh. Thus, many initially expect that it will be necessary to periodically "stew" the Nokia 620 screen, since there will be a very modest autonomy, but in fact, the operating time of this smartphone is quite consistent with similar models. The only thing worth noting is the slightly underestimated frequency of the processor, as well as the presence of not the most powerful video accelerator.

In the event that the majority of automatic synchronization will not be used during the work, and the smartphone itself will not be used for constant listening to music or navigation, the battery will be able to ensure normal operation of the device for two days. But in general, of course, many people say that the smartphone is suitable for full-fledged use, and if you do not think about constant energy savings, the battery will last for no more than one day, regardless of what is used in the Nokia 620 firmware.

Camera

The device uses a fairly simple camera, which has 5 MP and provides quite standard shooting quality. It is worth noting the fact that, according to users, its use is more intended for daytime photography, since during the night recording there can appear a wide variety of noise.

Among a sufficiently wide variety of additional functions, special attention should be given to the possibility of creating dynamic photographs, analyzing objects in the frame, or removing them (for example, if necessary, you can remove people who did not pass from time to time).

Especially useful is the function of intellectual shooting, which allows you to remove a certain object, but some users say that integration is far from the most successful. If you are shooting in a standard camera application, then you will not have the ability to apply smart shooting, so you always need to use an additional application, and this is not the most convenient solution. Many users consider this implementation rather strange.

Interface

The interface in this series is exactly the same, that is, in the Nokia 620 touchscreen gives you exactly the same features as in the 820-th or 920-th model. On the lock screen, there are large enough hours, a window of notifications, weather, as well as a variety of "live" applications like Facebook, when you show all kinds of statuses or photos, depending on how you will configure a certain application.

Outside the blocking screen there is a standard working slot, equipped with so-called live tiles. Now in the Nokia 620 sensor allows you to change the size of the tiles, that is, you can generally do them for the entire width of the screen or make the same size as the icons.

Multimedia features

In all smartphones of this manufacturer, using Windows Phone 8, there is the application "Music", which is its own player, equipped with a built-in store, as well as such an interesting feature as "Mix Radio". Thus, before the user is given access to the largest database of the most diverse licensed music, from which, if desired, you can compose your own mixes or use already composed sets by categories. For a month you can listen to such mixes absolutely free. In other words, it's enough to just download one or more mixes, after which you can listen to them at any convenient time without having to connect to the network.

Mixes can be adjusted constantly, and there are no limitations here. The only thing that is worth noting is that switching songs is only available six times per hour. If necessary, you can simply listen to songs that are similar to your playlist instead of mixes, since the program often offers a set of relevant artists, which is very, very convenient.

Player

The player decided not to make any major changes, and the only thing that was added is the equalizers. It is worth noting that the addition of this element is an achievement of Nokia, because other phone manufacturers on this system have not been able to implement them. The sound quality is very good, and at the same time it is possible to use the Dolby Mobile function, which provides surround sound, which can also be called one of the characteristic advantages of this model.
