Apart from the high-end Lumia 930, Nokia has also announced a duo of starter-range phones in the Lumia 630 and 635.
There isn’t much difference between the two phones, except for the 4G connectivity in the latter of the two, plus a bigger price tag.
The phones come with a 4.5″ ClearBlack LCD display with FWVGA resolution of 854 x 480 pixels. They are also Gorilla Glass 3 protected. The Lumia 630 also comes with an optional dual-sim version, which makes it the first ever Windows Phone with such capability.
Under the hood, you get a 1.2Ghz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor with 512 MB RAM and 8 GB internal memory, expandable via microSD card slot. At the back lies a sole 5 MP camera.
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and microUSB 2.0 are used for connectivity. Both the phones will be available in four colours. Windows Phone version 8.1 will come pre-installed. SensorCore is built-in on both of them, which is a sign of fitness-tracking trickling down to the lower-end markets too.
Pricing starts at $159 for the single-sim Lumia 630. It adds $10 for the version with two SIM cards. The 4G LTE version costs $189 though you will care lesser about it.
Given the tempting price tag, if widely available, the duo sure can give the Moto G a run for its money in this price bracket.
Hy, Mr Azeem Ullah Hassan i have read your article about Nokia Lumia 630 and 635. you have provided the good information about Nokia Lumia accessories For Example Camera, WiFi arrange and LCD view.
Thats great, finally a decent windows phone. But still..
I think moto G is still a better choice with its 720p IPS panel, 1 GB RAM, andrino 302 GPU and Android 4.4.2 kitkat. At 200$ there is no better deal than this.
I think the Combination Snapdragon 400 with 512mb is pretty weird, was expecting 1gb. I know WP8/8.1 runs quiet well on 512mb but what about app limitation on 512mb will it be gone on WP8.1 ? and i hope Nokia also launch these phone here with the same price tag as above.
No front camera!?
$159 = Rs 15,600
For that price i think its a good deal.
