Lumia 630 4.5 inch Sim Free Windows Smartphone - Black

Pro points: Expandable memory starting at 8gb Nice size 4.5 inch screen Good screen resolution for sharp, clear images Reasonably good 5mp camera Windows operating system (more on this below) Nice smooth, lightweight design Bad points: No front camera Windows store contains much fewer apps than android or iphone For people who don't know, the windows phone style is a front page of tiles and a list style menu including all apps. The phone comes with many apps preinstalled but they will need updating straight away. The app store has all the major apps but far fewer apps in general and many apps that you hear about on tv etc are not available for windows. For me the most notable app is amazon music, which is not for windows phone. Kindle is though, as are all the social media apps. You also get a basic version of office which is virtually useless, but crucially if you have a windows pc or tablet you can sync the phone with it, so you can create files on a full version of office and then make simple edits on the phone version. Apart from these things a windows phone means a windows pc style system, whereby it is just easier to use if you are used to using a windows pc or laptop. As a long time windows fan it is perfect for me as I find the android and iphone system more complicated. Overall, the battery life is also good,and you can use any uk sim, so for the price I think this phone is unbeatable, except if you want to use a 4g enabled sim, in which case you must get the Lumia 635. I would recommend this phone to any everyday user on a budget who just wants a phone that does what phones should do with a few perks, and not a phone that doubles as an interdimensional space craft or whatever iPhones are supposed to be able to do these days that warrants the five hundred pound price tag. NOTE: Microsoft has recently taken over Nokia and therefore all Nokia phones are now actually Microsoft, so you will see some versions of this phone with Microsoft written on them instead of Nokia. The phone is the same but in effect the ones with Nokia are now in effect outdated, which I believe is part of the reason why this phone is available so cheaply here.

Having just broke my previous phone, a Moto G 1st gen Sim free smartphone I needed a quick and cheap replacement. Having read numerous reviews about windows phones, I decided to go for this one at a relatively cheap price. First of all the speed of this phone is unreal for the price. My previous phone was quite slow sometimes, often lagging or freezing as i interchanged between each app. This phone performs expertly when changing between each app. The experience is very smooth. Another great feature of this phone is cortana and the voice recognition on this is different class. I am from the Isle of Lewis, I have a very strong scottish accent which means a lot of people not from where I live, do not understand me. However cortana seems to understand every word I speak to her. This function was brilliant, as in my previous phone certain words I say were pronounced differently. Mix radio is also brilliant. The amount of songs and different mixes you can listen to is excellent. Whether you boogie to some 80s classics, or lose your nut to some dance floorfillers, it's great. Now you're probably wondering why I speak so excellently about this phone but yet I have only given it 4 stars. Well here I am about to explain. First of all the sound is not the greatest, although I wasn't expecting much, there seemed to be an absence of bass when listening to music. Who knows? Maybe I have messed around with the controls. I'm not sure how to change it back. And that brings me onto my next point, learning the functions of this phone is a lot more complicated, especially if you are a newcomer to windows phone. In the box there was some start up instructions but nothing actually about the functions of the phone. Hey I could just look it up online. But I'm one of those stubborn men who like a set of instructions in front of me to read. Next of all there's no front facing camera. This would be a bit disappointing if I wasn't a real man, but real men don't take selfies, so alas this does not bother me so much. It is worth a mention though, as other users may want a front facing camera. Last but not least, apps. The apps you get on this phone are somewhat limited, but not as bad as people say it is. One thing I was disappointed about was the absence of snapchat. For many people including myself, snapchat is a major tool these days for keeping in touch with people. Hey you could use what's app or facebook or many other tools. But I personally liked snapchat the most. I think 4 stars out of 5 is well justified for this phone.

Purchased this phone as a backup to my existing Lumia 925, have been using it over 2 weeks and all I can say is what a brilliant device it is for the money. Firstly the whole Microsoft account eco-system is absolutely brilliant, when transferring from one windows device to another sign in with the starting wizard and all contacts settings and backups are pulled down onto the device that you need. Provided it’s enabled all the photos are backed up to OneDrive (accessible easily on any browser on any device unlike iCloud, take note Apple). You can pick a backup to restore and what apps to reinstall and that’s about it. In the box you get a charger and the phone and that is it. On to the phone; its light but well built, has excellent call quality, internet browsing, a fantastic screen, all the main apps you need and a battery life that is better than the Lumia 925. The Here maps sat navigation works perfectly, plus the offline maps can be downloaded to the expandable SD card I put an extra 8GB in mine. I have tested the internet sharing which works perfectly. The phone is really FAST. I have used so many cheap horrible Android devices (Samsung Ace) and they go so SLOWWWW after usage this does not, in fact windows is the snappiest mobile OS out there in my opinion. Only downside is no front facing camera and no flash so the picture quality is not the same as the high end phones. However it’s as good as the competition around it. Overall for the price this is an absolutely brilliant phone, and if you lose it or is stolen it won't break the bank to replace it, nothing worse than out on the town and afraid of your expensive smartphone not making it home, with this you have no worries. Take the plunge and invest I say.

Produit qui aurait dû disparaître des vente. Nokia ne peut plus avoir accès à Microsoft..... dommage, téléphone inutilisable dans sa fonction smartphone. Nous pouvons juste téléphoner et envoyer des SMS....pas de MMS!

Ich frage mich wirklich, warum ich bisher immer überteuerte Samsung/iPhone Käufe getätigt habe: Ich bin rundum zufrieden mit dem Nokia als Telefon und Windows als Betriebssystem. Ich empfehle hierfür aber eine Schutzhülle und -tasche zu kaufen. Der Service von RMA Technologies ist sehr zuvorkommend: Da das Telefon aus dem UK Lager ist, gab es ein Ladekabel für UK dazu aber nachdem ich sie angeschrieben habe, kam sofort die Antwort, dass sie mir ein passendes Ladekabel zusenden.

Purtroppo non si produce più ma la qualità è ottima. Naturalmente non fa le cose degli smartphon più recenti e molto più costosi ma se non si hanno esigenze eccessive lo consiglio.

El teléfono ha cumplido mis expectativas. No me informaron que la batería tenía la clavija del Reino Unido; por lo que no puede usarse en España sin un adaptador. Una vez comprado el adaptador no he tenido más problemas

Qualità-Prezzo PESSIMA, è il secondo Lumia che compro, e sicuramente anche l' ultimo: non sono durati neanche un anno e come hardware e software sono decisamente inferiori alla concorrenza. Mi affiderò ad un altra marca, purtroppo di Nokia non ci si può più fidare.
