Nokia Lumia 620 Announced = Cheapest Windows Phone 8 Device by jmaine: 12:15pm On Dec 05, 2012 |
![]() Nokia announced a surprise new Windows Phone 8 member at LeWeb 2012 in Paris today -- the Lumia 620. The entry-level handset has a 3.8-inch TFT screen at WVGA resolution (800 x 480), a 1GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 Plus processor, half a gig of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, expandable by microSD (up to 64GB cards supported). A 5-megapixel shooter with LED flash capable of recording 720p video occupies the back, while a VGA camera is up front for those self-portraits. Connectivity-wise, you'll get online via WiFi or WCDMA 3G, with NFC and Bluetooth 3.0 taking care of all your sharing and pairing. "Dual-shot color" interchangeable shells mean you'll be able to personalize your handset beyond switching up the Live Tile layout, and they also keep the 1,300mAh battery under wraps. Excluding taxes and subsidies, the new Lumia will cost $249 dollars when it begins shipping in January next year, first in Asia, then expanding to Europe, the Middle East and other territories later. If you're looking for a Windows Phone 8 handset but don't need the best specs out there, perhaps this is your guy -- the wallet-friendly Lumia 610 generally impressed us, so we've got a feeling this might, too. http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/05/nokia-lumia-620/ |

You can always walk into any Nokia accredited shop. Or buy online at jumia.com and pay on delivery. But what's most important is that you get it from where you can freely state your warranty claims should incase faults arise. Enjoy ![]() tonydion: [/color][color=#000099]please how can I get d lumia 620 phone I think I'll wait for the lunch of Lumia 520 and Huawei 4Afrika to make my choice. That's my price range, can't afford the 40k+ phones. ![]() |

@ 40k with 512mb RAM? They should have done better. other specs are great though. |

Reports say Lumia 520 would be priced between ₦27.000 - ₦30,000 Frenchkiss: @ 40k with 512mb RAM? They should have done better. other specs are great though. |

Frenchkiss: @ 40k with 512mb RAM? They should have done better. other specs are great though. 512MB RAM on windows phone works perfectly well . .the OS is highly optimized. . The above is a known and tested fact . . . Besides, the phone retails for 39k presently in the market |

jmaine: Thanks for your reply. I've been using BBs for a while now and I'm really bored of the phone. I want to get a new smartphone and I love the WP8 interface. But I've gone to some Android threads and the way they glorify Android and condemn the WP scares me. They start with the lack of apps and games etc. I'd love you to kindly sell me the WP. Tell me about it in general and the things it can do. Then to particular phone to get, I love the specs of the Lumia 620 you put here sadly there's no Gorilla glass and I've heard about the release of Lumia 520 soon which has a 4" scratch resistant screen which is a good catch but it lacks LED and NFC. The Huawei 4Afrika(Ascend W1) seem to pack every feature and would be cheaper, but I don't think Huawei build can come near the Nokia. I've been saving a while for this phone, so I'd like it to be one is one i.e the best choice of the 3 which I could use for say a year or 2 without it being dated. Thanks a lot, anticipating a kind reply. 1 Like |

Sorry my response is coming a bit late . .been too busy lately ![]() ThaProf: The android crowd often feel anything other than andriod is a sin, they are just been overtly emotional over their beloved OS . . It's a renowned trait of the Fandriods ![]() ThaProf: The number of apps is often given as an excuse to deduct some points from the WP ecosystem when compared to the competition; though they have a point, it's often exaggerated. Most major apps are catered for in the WP ecosystem, with the advent of the WP8 OS stimulating a geometric interest in developers who see huge promise in the potential of the Windows phone 8 - windows 8 synergy .. . .The horizon is looking very bright . . . recently, there has been rumors about the berthing of instagram, pandora and other core missing apps on WP8 platform. . . courtesy tweets emanating from Joe Belfiore, who heads up the Windows Phone team On the gaming front, it has been a bit slow but there have been major announcement of upcoming popular games titles to address this issue . .Gameloft recently announced a raft of games expected this march. They include : - The Amazing Spiderman Asphalt 7: Heat NOVA – Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance The Dark Knight Rises Order & Chaos Kingdoms & Lords UN & Friends Ice Age – The municipal Real Football 2013 Six-Guns Shark Dash Modern Combat 4 with a lil more push, the gaming side of things will be rectified pretty soon . . . ThaProf: The simplicity, ease and aesthetic UI of the WP is arguably unparalleled, though the IOS rates very high on that front as well . . . The social networking integration of the OS via the peoples hub is awesome .A concept the BB10 borrowed and renamed it as hub ![]() It's also pertinent to highlight that the OS lacks some basic stuff we often take for granted in other devices, but this lil deficiency is negligible when the overall user experience is taking into consideration . . . ThaProf: Well in the place of lack of a Gorilla glass, Nokia hinted they used their variant of scratch - proof glass.Though This doesn't inspire confidence like the Gorrila glass would ![]() The 520 looks awesome in terms of pricing & screen size wise, if you can wait a lil while for the launch, i did say you go for that The Huawei with all it's goodies doesn't interest me much, maybe cos am suspicious of it's build quality and the awesome support of Nokia renders to their Lumia line . . . The goodies of Nokia exclusives on the windows phone is too awesome to ignore ![]() ThaProf: With respect to cost and general aesthetic value . .the 520 takes it for me if patience is part of your equation . . Am personally waiting on the Lumia 720 . . .it ticks many boxes for me WP8 + Windows 8 will go places . . . .The momentum is just building . .Go Windows Phone 8 and you won't regret it ![]() 2 Likes |
