Recently, Nokia has providedless and less time to users in order to prepare for the release of the next device after its announcement. Thus, the model Nokia 620 was announced in December 2012, but already in early January appeared on the shelves of domestic stores. It should be noted 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.
From the nearest competitor - the HTC 8S -this device is not so large 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 fairly good front camera, compact dimensions of this device, the availability of replacement panels and a number of other features. Thus, we get 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 previously.
It is worth mentioning immediately that in the planThe design of the Nokia 620 does not have any borrowed elements from flagship devices that are distinguished 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 rear panel, the ends arerounded, so that the device without any problems can lie in the pockets of pants or jackets, and if in the case of the model 920 sharp corners are not always comfortable, then when working with this device everything is exactly the opposite.
Particular attention should be givena 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 calleda 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.
According to the developer, for the production of panelsA specialized transparent, colored or translucent polycarbonate is applied over the main layer, so 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 it 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 sevendifferent options for coloring 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 developerprovided 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.
The flagship model is based on a platform forthe name 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 their feedback. 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, since the device does not brake, regardless of the conditions in which it is used.
The rest of the Nokia 620 specifications are alreadynot so impressive. There is 8 GB of internal memory, 512 MB of RAM, and it is also possible to add a separate microSD memory card. The rest is a standard set that allows you to connect to any communication standards.
Many users of this devicethe 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 consistent with similar models. The only thing worth noting is the slightly underestimated processor frequency, as well as the availability of far from the most powerful video accelerator.
In the event that in the process of work there will be noMost of the automatic synchronizations will be used, and the smartphone itself will not be used for constant listening to music or navigation, the battery will be able to ensure the 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.
The device uses a fairly simplecamera, 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 night recording, a wide variety of noise can appear.
Among a fairly large varietyadditional functions, special attention should be given to the possibility of creating dynamic photographs, analyzing objects in the frame, or to remove them (for example, if necessary, you can remove people who did not pass from time to time).
Especially useful is the functionintellectual shooting, allowing you to remove a certain object, but some users say that the integration is not the most successful. If you shoot in a standard camera application, then in this case you will not be able to apply intelligent shooting, so you should always use an additional application, and this is not the most convenient solution. Many users find such an implementation rather strange.
The interface in this series is absolutelythe same, that is, the Nokia 620 touchscreen provides you with exactly the same features as in the 820th or 920th models. On the lock screen, there are quite large watches, a notification window, weather, as well as a variety of “live” applications like Facebook, when you are shown various statuses or photos depending on how a particular application is configured.
Outside the blocking screen is presentstandard working slot equipped with so-called live tiles. Now in the Nokia 620, the sensor allows you to change the size of the tiles, that is, you can even make them across the entire width of the screen, or make them as big as icons.
In all smartphones of this manufacturer,using Windows Phone 8, there is the Music application, which is a personal player equipped with a built-in store, as well as an interesting feature like Mix Radio. Thus, the user is given access to a huge database of the most diverse licensed music, from which, if desired, you can make any of your own mixes or use the already made sets into categories. During the month, you can listen to such mixes absolutely free. In other words, you just need to download one or several mixes, after which you can listen if you want to listen at any convenient time without the need to connect to the network.
Mixes can be adjusted continuously, and nothere are no restrictions here. The only thing worth noting is that switching compositions is available only six times per hour. If necessary, you can simply listen to compositions instead of mixes that are similar to your playlist, since the program often offers a set of relevant artists, which is very, very convenient.
In the player decided not to make any seriousthe 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 quite good, and it also provides for the possibility of using the Dolby Mobile function, which provides surround sound, which can also be called one of the characteristic advantages of this model.
