Nokia Lumia 630: Pocket Friendly Smartphone Experience

At first glance, the phone itself isn’t especially interesting. Like many budget smartphones, it feels a touch on the cheap side the first time you pick it up, with a simple flat glass front and a plain, removable matte-plastic rear cover, which is available in a variety of bright colours.

Lumia 630 is also the first Nokia device to run on Windows 8.1 operating system.
In terms of build, it isn’t a patch on the solid hunks found on models at the top of the Lumia range, but it does at least look reasonably smart with its angled edges and rounded corners. It’s light, weighing only 134g, and the 4.5in screen ensures the 630 is more pocketable.

On the rear, the Lumia 630 has a 5-megapixel camera with no flash and no front camera. Unusually for a Nokia handset, there’s no dedicated camera shutter button, which proves a real pain; to take a photograph, you have to first unlock the phone then launch the camera app, which can takes as long as ten seconds if you secure your phone with a code.

On the plus side, the phone’s 1,830mAh lithium-ion battery is replaceable, there’s 8GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot that supports up to 128GB.
