The Finnish firm Nokia has recently unveiled the Lumia 620, which is the cheapest member of the Lumia lineup. It comes in a variety of colours.
The Nokia Lumia 620 offers a 3.8-inch display with a resolution of 480×800 pixels, which means you get a decent pixel density of 246ppi. It also comes with a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera for recoding videos and snapping pictures. A camera can also be found on the front of the handset, making video calling possible.
Under the hood is a Snapdragon 1GHz dual-core processor coupled with 512MB of RAM for added performance. It also comes with 8GB of on board storage and support for as much as 64GB from a microSD card. You may feel that these specs are unimpressive compared to the Lumia 920 and the Lumia 820, but it will be a cheaper handset which is a plus in our book.
The Lumia 620 will be powered by Microsoft’s latest version of Windows Phone (Windows Phone 8). This means that you’ll get to enjoy the latest features such as resizing the live tiles on the customisable home screen, and the augmented reality app City Lens. New camera features include Smart Shoot and Cinemagraph.
This new Lumia handset is the most colourful among Nokia’s current Lumia lineup. It comes in the colours yellow, pink, and lime green. Nokia is also offering a variety of interchangeable shells that will allow you to change the colour of the Lumia 620. Colours include, white, turquoise, green, and orange. Some of these interchangeable shells come in glossy finishes; some come in matte finishes. This means that you can mix and match to create a different coloured effect.
Nokia is yet to announce how much the handset will set you back in the UK. It is expected to sell for $240 (around £150) in the US. It will go on sale in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia in January. It will be landing in Europe soon after.
