Nokia Launches another affordable Windows 8 phone in Lumia series


Nokia introduces another Windows 8 phone in its Lumia series- the Nokia Lumia 620. This is the third and most affordable in its range of Windows Phone 8 smartphones.

According to a press release issued by the company, alongside the flagship Nokia Lumia 920 and mid-range Nokia Lumia 820, the Nokia Lumia 620 offers a more fun, youthful appeal, and compact design.

“Smart, inside and out” says the company about this 3.8-inch TFT WVGA display screen which has a resolution of 800 by 480 and uses a new dual-shot color technique to deliver a variety of striking color and texture effects. The technology adds a second layer of colored, transparent or translucent polycarbonate on top of a base layer to produce secondary color blends and depth effects. Among the features shared with the Nokia Lumia 920 and Nokia Lumia 820 are exclusive camera lenses that transform the creative power of the Nokia Lumia 620′s five megapixel main camera and VGA front-facing camera. The Cinemagraph lens adds simple animations to still photographs, while Smart Shoot creates a single, perfect shot from multiple images, even removing unwanted objects from the picture.

Powered by Windows Phone 8, the Nokia Lumia 620 delivers a more personal smartphone experience. Adjustable Live Tiles update direct to the Start Screen. People Hub pulls together contact information from multiple address books and social networks into a single location, making it easy to stay in touch with friends and set up contact Groups and private Rooms for sharing. From the Me Tile people can check in to their location, post an update, set chat status, see what’s new and monitor notifications across Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. Windows Phone 8 also includes Xbox Live, Microsoft Office and faster, safer surfing with Internet Explorer 10.

The Nokia Lumia 620 provides access to the maps and location experience, including Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive, Nokia Transport and the exclusive Nokia City Lens. The City Lens feature displays information about local surroundings overlaid onto buildings as seen through the camera viewfinder.

“We continue to execute on our strategy to reach new audiences and new markets,” said Jo Harlow, executive vice president, Nokia Smart Devices. “With its innovative design, the latest Windows Phone 8 software and signature experience from Nokia, like Nokia lenses, Nokia Maps and Nokia Music, the Nokia Lumia 620 is a highly competitive smartphone at this price point.”

With NFC support, the Nokia Lumia 620 can easily pair with NFC-enabled accessories like the JBL PlayUp Portable Speaker for Nokia. Open and secure NFC-connectivity makes it possible to share and receive content by tapping with compatible devices, or make secure payments using the Wallet application in Windows Phone 8. Making it easy to discover and enjoy new music, Nokia Music provides free streaming of ad-free tracks without registration or subscription and the ability to download playlists for listening offline.

“The Snapdragon S4 Plus processor is the heart of the Nokia Lumia 620, making it possible to multi-task, stream in HD and share content at super-fast speeds” said Enrico Salvatori, senior vice president and president of Qualcomm Europe.

This phone has a battery of 1300 mAh and a RAM of 512 MB. It offers 8GB of total memory using a microSD card. Nokia offers additional 7GB free Microsoft SkyDrive storage with this phone.

The phone will come in seven different and colorful exchangeable shells to pick from; people can adapt the look of their Nokia Lumia 620 to their own personal taste and style.
